PRETTY WESTERN SCENES
Recent Contributions to Del Monte Gallery Are
. Attracting Much Attention
KATHARINE CLARK PROSSER
1 The Dei Monte art gallery Is showing
ft number of exceptionally fine things,
among them being several recent con
tributions. One of these Is a street
scene by Jergensen, which shows the !
well known artist at his best. De Neale |
'Mopgan also has a group of water col
ors, one of the best being "In the Veil j
of'tW Foe," In this Miss Morgan has
portrayed the typical Pacific Grove
.«■ ene—the f O pr drifting In against the
dark, towering pines, but, more than
thift.jShe has caught and held on her
canvas the mystic sweep and swing of
the ghostly visitor and the eerie lone
liness of the dense gray wall.
* Another entry is one of Grace Hud
sou's clever studies, "Playmates." While'
qrtite small, the figures of a dog and
child are brought out distinctly and
with sympathy, and show the. artist at
her best. c 0 . °
Har^y Stuart Fcjida his hung his
"House of the Four Winds" ill the gal- I
lery. By many this is said to c be the
b<>st of Fcnda^s paintings. The theme
■_Js wrapped about j,n° the mystery of
evening and expresses poetry in every
stroke. Another particularly good en
try has just been hung. It isJ one of
Alice Best's scenes, 0 and 13 full of the
charm of detail. *
Maynard Dixon's "Prairie Mother" is
a splendid example of his art, An In
dian woman with her baby Is coming
ncross the lonesome, rolling waste In
the late evening. The last glow of the
sun lights up the horizon, and forms a
dramatic background for the figures.
Still another good canvas Is from the
brush of T. t J. Richardson, and takes
as»lts subject a muddy pool carrying
the light reflection in a d o ozen wavering
shadows.
• • *
„ Among the Americana exhibiting in
rfie one hundred and "twenty-ninth
salon. Society of French^ Artists In
Paris, is Jules Pages. The former San
Franciscan* Pages was a pupil at the
Hopkins art Institute In the old days.
anil early gave promise of his unusual
ability. Some 13 or* 14 years ago he
-went abroad and sioce making his resi
dence In Paris has been steadfly" mount
ing the ladder. We is at present con
nected with the famous Ju]ian°academy
in the French capital and is rated
among the great European artists.
The niembers of theo Guild of Arts
and ( ,Crafts will hold their last meet
ing of the season in the St. Francis
/hotel, Saturday, May 6. -There will be
,'none but members present. Later" In
tlie month Miss Maude Wilson, presi
dent of the guild, and Miss d'Arcy Gaw.
a director, will leave for the cast and
Europe. .They have planned to ape.nd
some time in the arts and crafts colony,
founded by the famous English crafts
man, Ashbe, near Oxford.
The.: recent exhibition of the , work
of the guild members, which was held
In the Sequoia club rooms, gained.the
praise of those so fortunate as to.see
it. The different departments of pho
tography, book binding, wood carving,
metal work, modeling in plaster, cera
mics, printing, textiles, oil painting,
water colons, pastels, basketry and ta
bl« deeoratiwwork, were all efficiently
handled.
Among the Californians who have
successfully passed the "bar of , New
York critics is Bolton Colt Brown, who
wag a recent exhibitor 'at Vickery's.
Brown, before going east a few years
ago, was a member of the faculty of
Stanford university, but the call of art
proved stronger than the lure of scho
lastic preferment and the university
professor set out to gain fame and for
tune in a tlifterent way.
Brown is a painter of nature, and
his landscapes are charming interpre
tations, yet painted with a sureness and
absolute knowledge of the effect he is
going to produce. At present he is ex
hibiting a group of 12 paintings in
the O'Brien galleries in Chicago, and
at th* same time Is holding an exhi
bition of his work in his Xew 'York
Htudio.
Another T^allfornian who ], a arrived
in the great c^ty mart is Edgar "Wal
ter, the well known San Francisco
sculptor, who for some otime past has
been living Jn. New York. Mr. Walter
1* exhibit In his studio in 'West
Sixty-fifth street a number of remark
ably fine examples of Ills work, the
chief of which*!* a bust of Isaac N.
Sellgman, which is particularly notice
able for its interpretation of character
mr seen in the. quiet pose and the re
flective expression of the face and the
fine modelling of the hands. Another
piece that Is especially well spoken of
is a large fountain. In its design is
included a charming little faun
crouched under a huge rock over the
edge of "which peer* a bear. Through
his creating of this latter animal Wal
ter liax gained much of his success, so
•yrnpathetically does he manage to in
terpi' the bear nature, as well as its
anatomy. Walter's success, however, is
not confined to hit own. country, as he
has r?celved honors abroad. He .stud
ied In Paris, for a number of years and
received honorable .mention in the
salon.
The members of the Sketch club and
their ' vests were entertained Thurs
day "afternoon by Mrs.; Maude Russell
fftobbint, who gave a splendid reading
of. Josephine Prescott Peabody's
"Flper.". The attractive club quarters
furnished ,a setting, for the affair -and
the program was followed by the usual
I.our of social chat over the teacups.

Harry . Breuer, o who went east a few
• months ago, writes that he is comfort
ably settled and hard at work. Breuer
has opened a studio in New York, and
Is enthusiastic . over the opportunities
presented by the big city. v On his;.way
past Breuer made a. two weeks'(detour
down into the lowlands of .Florida, and
1 gathered some interesting material. He
, was "particularly' fascinated with _ the
low. flat stretches. of country with its
illimitable sweep oof sky, and la plan
nlnß to do a number of canvases com
memorative of his trip. 0
c
v A. .W. and Alice Beet have just closed
,\a \eerr> r successful exhibition of palnt-
J(lngt and pai>te)s they have been
showing tn their new studio on- Cali
fornia utreet. There were about -to
canvases included in:the display, one of
•which, a painting of the Yosemitc falls,
was purchased by the Santa" Fe com
pany.* The exhibition was brought to a.
close by an entertainment at the studio,
to which more"than 100 guests were
invited. One of i the features of the
evening was the presentation of a
farce written by TV. R. Davenport, in
which the art pupils took part.

The portrait of a young ecclesiastic
recently assigned to Velasquez: by
Bettor de Beruste has been purchased
from the Shriek galleries in New York '
by Henry L Huntlngton, the California
millionaire.

Edward Wilson Currier left this week
for the.YosemUe valley, where.he has
arranged to spend the greater part of
the summer. Last summer Currier
visited Hetch-Hetchy and adjoining
country, and devoted sopite four weeks
to a sketching trip, gathering all kinds
of valuable, material. The coming
months will be given to work in the
famous park in preparation for the
artist's fall exhibition. Among others
he Is planning to do a number of moon
light things, the moonlight ; effects in
the valley being especially beautiful.
Currier la a painter of landscapes, and
devotes much of his time to a study of
nature at close range. He is a devout
lover* of life, in the open, and his pic
tures are sympathetically handled. ;
Ethel Marian Wickes returned to
town this week after a fortnight in
and, around Pacific Grove. The greater
part of Miss Wickes' time was employed
in sketching jaunts, when she managed
to mare th# cypress in Us native
haunt. Miss Wickes is the artist who
has won her own particular niche in
the local hall of fame by her unusually
clever portrayal of g<
Miss de Neale Morgan, the artist who
spends most of her time in Carmel, has
proved that she not only can wield a
paint brush to good effect, 'but that she
is capable of presiding over other roles
as well: On the occasion of the open
ing of Chris Jorgenson's new studio in
the Seventeen Mile drive last Saturday
night, the main feature of the even
ing's program was the production of a
one act play by Grace McGowan Cooke,
"The Borrowed Husband," In which
Miss Morgan assumed a prominent part.
Another surprise was given Xv Jorgen
son, who -appeared during the evening
as a soloist, giving his number In a
voice of unusual sweetness and power.
.The. reception was ■ compliment to
.Torncenson from the Arts and Crafts
club of Carmen. Quite a contingent
went down from the bay cities. The
studio was hunsr with an exhibition of
Jorgrensons paintings, which elicited
enthusiastic praise from his guests.
Among them were a number of Mexican
street scenes which were exceptionally
good.

Is selling land in The Call Colonies, with approved 1. I

THE CALL COLONIES
LIVE OAK, Slitter County, SACRAMENTO VALLEY I
/On the lines of the Southern Pacific and the Northern Electric railroads. North of the Colonies lie the „ ' |i
towns of Gridley, Biggs, Chico, Oroville; south, Yuba City, Marysville and Sacramento. All these towns $\
assure good markets, while the satisfactory service of the Southern Pacific and the Northern Electric railroads m
insures quick transportation and a ready outlet for all products. At Live Oak the two railroads cross, giving o !1
the Colonies the choice of either road and the benefits of competition. M
Land values are rising rapidly; as the irrigation system is extended the large grain ranches are cut into small «
irrigated farms; settlers are pouring in. This increased population, together with the splendid returns secured }\
from irrigated farming, can have but one result; land values will rise to the same high level as those of southern ° B
California.
