in 1915—a distinction unique in the Despite his universal popularity

The question of whether Riley possessed true genius or an exceptional talent, so often debated, is not the author's concern. She points out that to the critical standards of his era he was more than satisfying and his reputation among the people who loved him is secure and will go unchallenged. On that basis she has written a full length story. For her material : she not only was able to draw on his own works and the few biographical sketches a n d ! files of old newspaper and periodicals but the persons .w h o were his friends — like Meredith Nicholson and Mrs. Nolan Booth Tarkington. Fortunately, Mrs. Nolan’s book is not a formal biography for that would not have allowed her to treat the life of the people’s poet so effectively., For it is vivid, pictues of Riley she draws as aid to the traveling medicine man and the sign painter that bring him “home” to his “folks.” As Mr. Nicholson points out in the book’s introduction: “Mrs. Nolan has most happily presented the town as it was when the young poet became visible in and about the (Indianapolis) , Journal office.” And aside from the story of Riley’s life, the book’s picture of the Indianapolis and Greenfield of 1853-1916 certainly will heighten the interest of readers, whether they are nostalgic reminiscenses of the ‘“oldsters” or the history-loving youngsters. Although Mrs. Nolan’s recital of the poet’s life is a step by step factual narrative, it is the little “dressingsup,” the little incidents, that! make the book interesting reading.

Mrs. Nolan will speak on “Riley and Indiana” tomorrow afternoon in Ayres’ auditorium at the tea and program sponsored by the Riley Hospital Cheer Guild.

The reader meets Bud Riley first as a blond and freckled 3-year-old lad setting on the stoop of his home in Greenfield watching a circus travel by. There is the Bud who is accepted into the “old swimmin’hole” gang and the Bud who was always the bane of his school teacher's existence. In the narrative the

was a streak of melancholy,” writes Mrs. Nolan. “He was always lonely.”

8 2 » * “THERE WAS, perhaps, no logical explanation of his extraordinary success,” says Mrs, Nolan. “He was not a scholar, never a man who studied deeply or with discrimination. Many branches of learning he had pever touched upon; into most subjects he had investigated only superfically. But he was gentle, honorable, innately modest; he loved his fellowman and had been watchful of them, alert to their ways and whimsicalities, believing in them and the God they worshipped—and he had dreamed a lot. This and his insatiable ambition, his incessant effort, may account for him. Hé had been certain of himself, positive that he had a mission, and a worthy one, to write about the people and for them, and thus to make them happy.” That was the man who made real and vital such characters as The Raggedy Man, Little Orphan Anny and execursions like Out to Old Aunt Mary's. “James Whitcomb Riley, Hoosier Poet” is a story simply told of a man who wrote about the homely, simple happenings of everyday life. Mrs. Nolan has not made it the story of a genius but of a personality,

Vawter Exhibit

‘Pictures’. |

Artist’s Wife Is Guest at’ Showing When today’s school children read the = poems of James Whitcomb Riley, they draw on their imaginations for pictures of the characters. But this ‘week they, and adults too, an ‘opportunity to see the as Riley visualized them. They have been captured in ‘black and white with the vivid touch of brush and charcoal by the late Will Vawter, ‘who was ‘Riley’s favorite illustrator. AL 8 The best of 500 originals are on display for the remainder of the week in Block’s auditorium. They are from a collection purchased recently by the store from an Illinois collector. Mrs. Vawter came up from Brown County last night for an invitational showing of the illustrations, attended by representatives of the Riley Memorial Association, poetry groups, the Hoosier Salon Patrons Association and others.

Cousin Recites Poems

In connection with the exhibit an informal program was presented. Its highlight was the recitation of Riley's favorite dialect poem, “Tradin’ Joe,” by the poet’s cousin, 76-year-old Judge William A. Huff, Greenfield, and the encores, “Grigsby’s Station” and “Old Sweetheart of Mine.” : S. B. Walker, the store’s comptroller, presented Hugh McK. Landon, head of the Riley Memorial Association, who spoke. Arthur C. Downing, head of the Riley Old Home Society, said: “Vawter brought to life what Riley said in words. , Vawter was his artist though he had the whole world to choose from.” Henry R. Hope, new head of the art. department at Indiana University, in an informal talk, pointed out: “Life moves fast. These pictures are only a few years away from us but they picture a different life. Half of you can’t remember what Riley really had in mind when he wrote the words. These pictures give us'a picture of Indiana life which we. can retain.”

Subjects Identified

Mrs. Vawter posed for several of the illustrations and Barton Reece Pogue pointed out several pictures in which his father served as the subject. And here and there the Greenfield residents could be heard to remark that a subject was so-and-so from home. Among the guests from Riley's birthplace, with Judge Huff and Mr, Downing, were Mrs. Huff, who headed the committee on the restoration of the Riley home in Greenfield; Mrs. John F., Mitchell

among her aids; Mrs. Leah Early, hostess at the home, and her assistants, Mrs. Flora Grissell and Mrs. Ada McAdams; Mrs. Mildred Davis, creator of the Riley dolls; Mr. Walker and Mr. and Mrs. John F. Mitchell Jr. Among the other guests were Mrs. Leonidas Smith, executive secreL tary of the Hoosier Salon Patrons’ Association, and Dr. Smith; Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Polley, Mr. and Mrs. Ward G. Biddle of Indiana University and Harry Engel from the university’s art department.
