Ex-Correspondent Teaches Herron Class By JEAN ENGELKFE “WANTED . a doghouse for two.” Not ‘many days ago, Herron Art Museum thought of ‘running such

an ad . . . then thought again. Best continue the search alone In __dignity® At first it. hag seemed a simple job. The museum's task was'.to locate a room or bachelor apartment for an instructor . . . a master in the craft of watercolor . . . whom the school was

bringing in to teach special intensive classes for one month.

told “We. have an art instructor with a Great Dane who wants to move in for a month.”

n ” THAT was in the beginning. Finally after being turned down in every section of town, by every lead followed, it was de- ! - cided to alter the story. That the dog was a Great Dane was forgotten. That it stood some three to four feet high was forgotten. That it ate two pounds of meat a day was forgotten. There simply was an artist with a dog who | needed a room for a few weeks. The Hotel Riley came through. It was a startled staff that watched “Mike” and his youthful master enter the lobby. It was a rattled room clerk who turned over the key. It was a jittery elevator boy who took the pair up. David Fredenthal, New York, and his “dog” had arrived.

MacArthur's command, he tried to focus his work on the “grimmaces of the men themselves —not on the terrible spectacle that is war.” His work now is known to thousands throughout the world for his large color sections in Life during his war assignment.

He recommends “work . . . lots of work.” His students are instructed to turn out quantities and quantities of sketches for the month they are under his instruction.

That should come later. cided he is ‘“‘quite a guy.” And also fortunately by now “Mike” has made friends with the hotel staff, the room clerk and the elevator operators.
