In fact, this argument is well nigh' inexcusable, because there have been for the last six weeks a series of lectures, illustrated by colored slides and held at Crandall Library, which has covered just this field of art and in considerable detail. Then too, there is the catalogue of the exhibition which presented the fundamental principles of this and, in fact, all art as well as the books in the library and hundreds of, articles in magazines published in the last. twenty or thirty years.

On top of this, there is common sense guided by knowledge and good taste guided by experience in any one of a dozen allied fieldssuch as music, dress design, industrial design, home decoration, and SO forth. Those who did attend and who did find something to interest or please themselves represent a very small percentage of the city's population. Some of the school children were highly stimulated and enjoyed -it a great deal-that is, those few who strayed in by accident or who' were propelled by the enthusiasm of the afore-mentioned art. teacher. A large part of their enjoyment is due directly to their lack of visual and emotional inhibitions.

They are not yet half or mis-educated along art lines and they do not see pictures through a dense filter composed of their previous visual experiences. They can, therefore, see "beauty" where they find it and are not confused or repressed by. dogmatic and habitual forms. When it comes to so-called "modern art" (most of it is a quarter of a century' old and no longer a novelty), the "child is definitely the father of the man." As for the adults, it is no surprise that those, who did manage to find enjoyment were, for the most part, of the self-styled "upper class." This is partly because it is- no longer fashionable to scoff or giggle at this art but it is and has been for several decades extremely fashionable to like it. Furthermore, many of this "class" have been educated intelligently in our better schools and have visited galleries and museums in our larger cities.

But, fortunately, art is not exclusive property of any particular "class" and it is an extremely dis-' courging sign for the future of' American civilization that the people for whom it could do the most Weekly Work Day Today The weekly work day sponsored by the Women's Association of Presbyterian Church will be conducted from 10 A.

Our Town by Barbara Romeyn Reese The audience that assembled 'on Wednesday afternoon In The Queensbury ballroom to hear Mady Christians was the largest of the Woman's Club present season, a phenomenon that is not surprising in view of the dictinction of the tion offered. Neither windy cold nor housecleaning nor many another waiting duty availed to keep people away from a place where they were promised the treat of observing and hearing at close range lady- previously seen only in the glamorous surroundings of the theater or heard inspiringly, if in disembodied form, on the air. The afternoon's experience was a lesson in grace and professional skill and personal charm. The special lights which were intended to act. in place of footlights never.

did get turned on, with the result that audience. and actress were. much closer together than is customary and that, therefore, characterization needed to be more than usually competent to maintain theatrical illusion and dramatic mood. From this test, plus that arising from the unusual variety and volume of "extraneous sounds that drifted into, the room from all. directions, Miss Christians emerged calmly triumphant, having successfully, carried her.

audience Disinterest in Ar Exhibition Analyzed with her into the thoughts and feelings of women who were experiencing as many kinds of emotions as -there are kinds of people. The spell that Miss Christians wove in her first two characterizations was so. potent that for some listeners it carried over, despite the -interlude of explanation, into her next delineation. It will be remembered that her first two characters were Shakespearean and her third Shavian. Now who would ever have expected George Bernard Shaw to sound like the immortal Shakespear! (Probably G.

B. S. least of all.) But his lines did on Wednesday. Miss Christians spoke of Candida as the perfect antithesis to Katherine, the Shrew, and of her occasional wondering if Shaw consciously created her 50. This could easily have conditioned the audience's to the artist's performance, but had it (the performance) been a mere tour de force there would surely have been 8 feeling of artificiality, of falseness somewhere.

Miss Christians remarked after her lecture that it had been a pleasant, sympathetic audience to speak to, and that she had enjoyed it. Her performance, however, was a greater compliment even than her words, (Continued on Page 9, Col. 2) To Prolong Exhibit Joseph J.

menial tasks and house-hold drudgery were the ones who "stayed away in droves." This exhibition was brought to Glens Falls, not for those who go to New York regularly and can see better examples in the large museums, but for those who are forced to remain at home and would, otherwise, have no opportunity. It is regretable that it is this majority which did not take advantage of a gratuitious and exceptional event. Is this really "the of the common man" or will there continue to be inequalities and an elite of the mind and spirit? JOSEPH J. DODGE.
