Five galleries--and never al dull moment. An unmistakable "bigness" which you can't escape. A high-keyed whole slashed dramatically with bold green, bold blue, bold red, and dashing whites. In the happy vein chiefly, the major key, except for occasional heroic canvasses with the deliberate pull of powerful, tragic intent. Gives a Lift Local artists have let their hair down with delightful abandon, an air of not caring who says what.

Such a show takes any visitor out of his shell, away from pet neuroses, gives him a lift at every turn. You get the pitch immediately, on entering through the lovely flowering oriental garden, from the canvasses at the far end of two vistas channeling the long galleries it's California, the Pacific Coast. To your left, the sun-high glitter of snow peaks above dark deep lake blue. Directly ahead, the ocean surge and lift of the Pacific swells pooling on rock ledge. The show -West Coast all the way.

With many a hint of our California heritage--Indian relics, drums, parched corn; churches of old Mexico, serapis, sombreros, corrals, ten-gallon hats, lariats--reminders of the rodeo, old whal. ing coves. There is something for every. one of every age. Take your choice.

From tne macabre to the nursery. From dusty old barnyards with wheel barrows and roosters to the sophistication and crystal glitter of cocktail trays. From adobe haciendas, hill billy land, shanty town to the elegance of kid gloves and chic veils. From sharp authentic realism to dream phantasmagoria in wispy prismatics, to the boldly sculpturesque-via pigment, to the stylized Florentine snapped up in bizarre Alice-inWonderland tempo. Junk heap riff raff-the beauty of it, cable cars, prize fights, oil fields, loitering cabooses, forest- -with many a storm unleashed, the billowing verdure of furrowed hill or the tawny parched rise of fields baked blond, sardine trawlers with clinging gulls.

That's itfrom sea level to high above timberline. Lots of Animals Besides there are lots of animals on hand. The artists have done well by the beasts, wild ones-jungle lions, elephants, tigers, not to forget the beguiling owlet and tame ones of the fireside. Cats, all soft and solid and relaxed kitty naps. Horses strong black horses, in action, terrified by rainy blowdowns or playfully at ease by a stone barn.

Many a peep under the flap of a circus -trapeze artists, bare back riders, clowns. Speaking of wild animals and the zoo. An art show and the zoo have much in common. Every canvas like every separate animal cage should offer you free gratis the impact of another world with all its exciting implications. Both are panaceas of a kind.

Both stir you up and soothe you downstimulant and sedative. From the animal world you come eventually on all the ages of man. Infants cuddled in mother's arms; pigtails in the nursery; teenagers with wistful questioning eyes or broad grins; girlhood adolescence, troubled bewildered into sulky defiance waiting, waiting; college kids with tan flesh beach frolicking; in ranch jeans and cowboy boots, untried young manhood rar'in to go: mature quiet eyed women at peace with themselves; mature manhood that has looked with a seaman's saddened eyes on drowning fellow sailors, and the foundering of fine ships; ex-service manhood visibly eaten away with the lingering canker of war; middle age with folded hands content with past years of loyal living service; homey pipe smokers in backyard suspenders; keen eyed scientists at beloved cluttered desks; hobo clowns with horny hands; old age--a white-haired patriarch Biblically forgiving and supporting the humble, sinning son. Urbane Sleekness Many times a direct and engaging play for the senses -the tac. tile approach.

The furry depths of velvet, the urbane sleekness of silks and satins, the crisp creases of Roman scarves; the vibrating glow deep in high glazed porcelain Persian jars, jades, Chinese bowls, ivories and the rough rustic curve of Mexican pottery; the leather stiffness of magnolia leaf; the brittleness of thinnest glass- white glass, red glass, green glass, rose glass and sturdier Mexican blue glass The hard fruity skin of rosy red crabapples, the snowed-down coral lushness of persimmons; the aroma of night blooming Cereus, exotic camellias and every day callas And in almost every cavas, air you can breathe -snowstorm, rainstorm, beach blows, fog, earth odors, fishy smells wafted from wharves. As for air -there is much sky painting with the stage set far above earth surface-high in the heav- Pulpit and Pew Study Circle Meeting Set The association of Universalist Women of Throop Memorial Church, Study Circle, will meet in Throop Hall Thursday, at o'clock.
