Plans Made
For Museum
In Capital
Mrs. Davis Hostess
To Art Lovers
Yesterday.
ESTERDAY afternoon In the
Ideal setting of the very beauti
ful residence of Mrs. Dwight
F. Davis, on Foxhall road, a
distinguished group of persons learned
of the plans for the Washington
branch of the Museum of Modem
Art which will open in Washington
next Autumn. The gallery will be
located In the Metropolitan Club
Building, wdth an entrance on Seven
teenth street, in the rooms formerly
occupied by Harriman & Keech.
Mr. A. Conger Goodyear, president
of the Museum of Modem Art, in New
York, came down to speak, and told
most Interesting details of the plans
on foot. The museum located at 11
West Fifty-third street in New York
City was organized in 1929, and next
year will be moved into a new build
ing. So far some 30 cities throughout
the United States have become or
ganized with branch galleries.
Receiving the guests yesterday with
Mrs. Davis was Mrs. George Angus
Garrett who is assisting in the organ!
ration of the Washington Gallery.
Tea was served on the terrace prior
to the talk and a lovlier sight could
not be Imagined. Growing along the
edge of the stone terrace is a pro
fusion of tulips and beyond the
fresh green lawn leads to a wood which
gives the impression that one is far,
far away from the busy city.

required for exhibits In the Museum
of Modem Art, and when the pres
ent permanent exhibition ceases to
fill these two requirements it will be
discarded. Washington is looking
forward to the gallery, and the en
thusiasm shown at yesterday’s tea

Davis. Mr. Davis’ two daughters, the
Misses Cynthia and Helen Davis, as
