Seorea of North 5Jaore Artiata Coatinaea Uatil April IZ . . Repreleated in Exhibit Which · B,. R. . L P. The saying, .,a prophet is without honor in his own country," does not hold true in Wilmette, if the prophets in this case are artists. For the Wilmette · Woman's club is exhibiting, until April 12, oil paintings, etchings, water colors, posters and handicraft by Wilmette residents, present · and fQnner. Color and beauty of line draw the eyes rapidly about the room, many canvases holding the attention for their merit. No "home talent" show is this, for established artists such as #\nita Willits -Burnham, William Watson, H. Campbell, James Cady Ewell and others exhibit. Yet, the new artist is not forgotten, and encouragement is particularly given school children. An outstanding example is the work of Mozelle Wright son, a 17 year old girl who has done some excellent work with ivorv soap. She has not only brought sense of harmony to the figures of her mermaid, a boy and the head of an aged woman, but she has the knack of making them full of life. The soap looks like ivory, and instantly appeals to the passer-by. Artists of the North Shore Art league, who viewed the sculptures, have given her a scholarship in the league, ·.so that next winter she may enjoy the priv·ilege of studying under a well known artist several evenings a week. If that were the only bit of real encouragement the club offered this year it would seem to have fulfilled its raison d'etre. But the club has also given cash prizes to Miss Helen Bower and Miss Helen Jone· s for their attractive posters on the club exhibit. Children of Wilmette schools competed, and all posters displayed are exceptionally ~ood. The schools also show cravon illustrations of stories. room designs. and soap models of Grecian art, and New Trier high school displays posters for the North Shore Art league exhibit. · A log cabin made by fifth grade children of the Howard school shows clever work in the making of paper furniture, rugs, and a large fireolace. Everything in the room. even to the small bowls on the table, is in the mode. Ope... with , Recep'tion The program opened on Friday with . a reception, and a program by Miss Edna Wilder, a Ravinia 'cellist. Among the still lifes, one notices the colorful and finished groups by the chairman of the art department, Mrs. Gordon Wibon. A ftQwer garden tempts one to pause and contemplate its blended tones, and one of the still lifes of a bowl of fruit and an old pitcher caused much happy comment. Mrs. Ashton Taylor displays two oil paintings of · boats in a Gloucester harbor, a flower arrangement and a garden scene. All have a distinctly profes- sion,l touth and .her . effect of sunJiaht is remarkable. · · Mrs. · Marie ~ Lusk has the outstanding portrait, one of herself. The texture of the face is remarkable, and glows wi~h her personality. George Lusk shows a striking modern cuf,istic !reatment of. a nude. Mrs. Burnham as present wath ~ gay scene ~r~m the Ghet!o, a portraat of Mrs. Wilham F. Englr.sh, and landscapes, all of them well thought out and gracefull~ executed. Carol ·Lou Burnham gaves a decorative panel and a majestic etching, "At Sunset," of a sh~p. William Watson has a lands~ape ·~· the dark mood, a~d H. S. Campbell s~ows several whach speak of nature 10 repose. Scalp~ ~· W·!- Colon. .Albert Ulrach s stunnang portraat of has daughter unfortunately was on view only the first day, but it i.s to be remembered with pleasure. . James Cady Ewell has two paeces of sculpture, full of vigor, and original Cartoons by Carey . Orr .mind of him. Among the water colors one finds the bird scenes for which William T. Schmedtgen is famous all of them being realistic studie· ~ly baa· died. Miss Susan Northam .also gives four lovely stuc;ties in this medium. Another young artist is James Gathercoal whose eight pencil sketches of architecture in Europe show outstanding talent. Among the etchings one finds several fresh studies by William Young. · There are many canvases worth' mentioning, such as Mrs. Ewell's softly tinted "Infanta"; Edith Cooper's portrait of a young girl, done in pastels; Mary Brokius' painting of the dunes; Margaret Molchen's desigtrs of mod.ern dress taken from historic costumes; Frederick Tellander's landscapes; Emily Bentley's still lifes, in subdued tones, and Alice Jackson's still life of flowers.
