BY JOHN W. THOMPSON “TNDI AN APOLIS is rapidly beA coming a city of the fine arts,” asserted Wilhelm Reinhold Valentiner. De r oit Art Museum director. in an interview last night at the home of his host, Dr. G. H. A. Clowes in Golden Hill. Mr. Valentiner congratulated the private collectors, including Dr. Clowes, on their enthusiasm, and said that the Herron Art Museum was doing a great work in building a valuable collection of fine artistic pieces. Mr. Valentiner is in Indianapolis for a visit and to speak at the John Herron Art Institute tonight on “The Art of Frans Hals.” the Dutch artist, who has recently become so popular with American collectors and art patrons. Mr. Valentiner is an eminent authority on both Hals and Rembrandt, whose work were contemporaneous. A remarkable exhibition of 50 of the Frans Hals paintings has been put on view in Detroit, and will continue there through the month. The completion of this collection is extremely significant due to the fact that there are only 80 Hals’ canvases in this country and only 300 in existence. "There are three types of artists,” Mr. Valentiner explained last night—“the creator, the destroyer and the preserver. Frans Hals was a destroyer.” ana "F coutsp- in destroying, he was unconsciously creating a new technique which was really the first of the modern expressions of personality in art,” the Detroit Museum head pointed out- “ Hals was the first to pull away from tradition and to let his freedom, love of color and effervescent joy express itself in his painting,” he said. Mr. Valentiner added some comments about some of the paintings the Charles Mayer Cos. will have on exhibition starting Monday. These paintings will include originals by Rembrandt, Lawrence, Millet. Gainsborough and John Hoppner. Concerning the Rembrandt oil which will be here, “Marquis d’ Andelot.” Mr. Valentiner told an interesting sry. The painting was unidentified for some time. There were no marks of certainty as to who it was that Rembrandt had painted so carefully. But one day a short poem was found which described in flowery terms

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SECRET BALLOT IS APPROVED BY SOVIETLEADERS Semi - Democratization of Electoral System Probable. By United Press' MOSCOW, Feb. B.—A move toward semi-democratization of the. electoral system was in prospect today as the result of the unanimous passage of a government bill by the All Union Congress of Soviets. There will be one party still, the Communist party, and Josef Stalin, who is secretary general of the Commirrist party's central committee, will remain the real ruler. But under the bill, which remains to be ratified in final form, there will be secret voting, direct elections of members of Parliament, and equality of voting rights between industrial workers and peasants. Premier Viacheslav Molotov in a speech to the Congress last night recommended it as embodying "all the best in the parliamentary system.” At present, individual voters ballot for members of the local Soviets, who in turn elect provincial Soviets. Then there is voting for district, Republican and national Soviets in turn. Under the bill, there will be direct voting for the national Soviet Congress. Government figures say 2.5 per cent of persons entitled by reason of age to vote are disqualified for class reasons. Os 102.000,000 eligibles, 91,000.000 are said to have voted last year. | URGES BUSINESS MEN TO TRAVEL BY PLANE Louis Schwitzer Makes Suggestion at Aero Club Meeting.
