Hohlen, Sui)ervisor of Art in Bur- lington, Iowa. From the sunlit "Street Scene in Gloucester" to the focn/alized"IUverside l~arnl,'' from the soul,tie r strength of "Mending the Nets" to the gay '"Still IAfe with Venus," from "Tulips" to the "Senegalese Sailor" here is interesting variety in su:h- ect and treatment. Most of the )ietures are ill oil hut vivid water- ,olors and musical abstractions )rovide added attractions. 'l'ilis exhii)ition holds the high standard of the outstanding exhibitions of the year. That they have all been of high quality is "tttested by the fact that each ex'hildtion hqs seeul- ed "the ,best one yet" and this is no exception. Of definite interest locally is the retention by request of nlany of the works fronl the festival ex- hi,bit. Since many of the Mount Vernon people were so busy dur- ing the Festival that they eouht not give as much time to the exhi:bit as they wished a selected group of the works by M;Ps. Andrist, P'hilip Hen- derson, and Miss l,athe has }men retained, and rehung on two w¢~lls of the F]xhibition Hall. Their re- arrangenlent makes a new exhibi- tion even for those who sqw the Festival show. The public is invited any after- noon fronl 2 to 5, and the gallery will be opened upon request ~Mon- day, \Vednesday and lal'iday morn- ings. No other town in Iowa of less than 5(},000 population has Lily opportunity to see works of art to conlpare wi'th Mr. Vernon's con- st,ant privilege. Most of the works shown can be purchased "It very reasonable prices, for Cornelidoes not eh,arge auy coulnli~,sion for sales. Many of these piclures are ones which would he "l eonst'mt joy iu the right ilolne or office. University Professor Speaks At Lions Meeting 1)r.
