One hundred pieces of soap sculpture selected from the thousands of entries in the fifth annual prize competition sponsored by the Procter and Gamble Company are being shown at the Art institute. Two of the prize winners are included in the group: “Poulter Pigeon.” which received an honorable mention in the professional class; and “Witch,” which also was awarded an honorable mention in the junior group. The great popularity of these competitions seems to be not altogether due to a good advertising campaign, but also to the realization that soap is a convenient medium for the experiments of the w’ould-be sculptor. Charles Dana Gibson has said “Michelangelo began by modeling in butter. If Procter and Gamble had been in existence in those days he w r ould have used soap.” Whether any Michelange’os will develop from the present enthusiasm remains to be seen. At least, many very interesting designs have resulted and in some of them there is a decided beauty and a feeling for form. The quality of the work as a w’hole is suggested by the presence on the jury of award of five nationally known sculptors: Leo Lentelli, Gutzon Borglum, Lorado Taft, C. J. Barnhorn, and Harriet Frishmuth. The exhibition will remain throughout February. Advertising Pays B '/ Times Special CAMBRIDGE CITY.
