By Ed vlna Exhibit by Indiana

to Open Sunday Afternoon

The 24th annual, exhibition of In-, diana artists which opens at the Public Art gallery Sunday afternoon at ! 2 o'clock is said to be one of the beat, largest and, most varied exhibits of Indiana painters ever hung in the local gallery. Announcement of the winner of the Mary T. R. Foulke Purchase prize of $125 will be made at the opening Sunday by a special jury of awards composed of William Forsyth, of Indianapolls; John Wise, of Cincinnati, and John L. Bundy, of this city. Mr. Forsyth, chairman of the jury, in a sort talk will tell why - the winning picture was awarded the prize. The gallery will be open from 2 p. m. to 5 p. m. Sunday and the public is cordially invited to attend the opening. Pictures Catch tye As in all exhibits several picture catch the eye in the first trip around the gallery. Not the least of these are the two oil paintings by H. H. Wessel of the Cincinnati Art academy. One, "The Test, Soap Factory" has as its subject a working man standing by a window partially hidden by clouds Of steam. ' The treatment of the 'subject is strikingly similar to the work of Gerrif A. Beneker, whose "Faithful Frank", very representative of bis work among the laboring classes, was In the recent portrait exhibit. Delicate color harmonies lend much charm to Wessel's "A Street in Greenport", which is pervaded by the summer atmosphere of a typical New England seaport town. : This probably will be accorded one of the best ; pictures in the exhibit. - Bundy's Work Shows Up Well. ; "Across the Valley," a clear blue cloud-sprinkled sky over a fall landscape where skeleton trees cast their shadows full length upon a gay scarlet and . yellow carpet of fallen .leaves, is one of the finest canvasses ever done by John E. Bundy. Few pictures shown here of artists, foreign or local, outclass the works of this local artist. -"" "In the Edge of the Wood." another i -.-, iaraa canvass by him now on - I.: exhibition, offers an interesting contrast to "Across the Valley." It is a picture of the very late fall when the more ravishing and vivid colors have died out, giving place to that quieter, more tranquil stage the ebb tide be tween fall and winter. Winter Sketch. A recent winter sketch, done at the time of the. first snow fall and showing against the blue winter sky Mr. Bundy's winter studio, has been loaned for the exhibit ty T. C. Harrington. Jn this Bundy has caught the cold, deserted bleakness of a winter day. "Blue and Gold", lent by Mrs. A. L. Bundy, and "A Woodland Stream" complete his exhibition. None of these pictures are entered for the prize and none are for sale. They are the only j Pictures in the exhibit rot for sale The combination of colors in W. H. Steven's "Crest of the Hills" is similar to that used by Maxeld Parrish in its cheery gaynes. Vivid Fall Scenes. The most brilliant colors are used Jn the vivid fall scene along 'Tippecanoe River" painted by Roy Trobaugh. Mrs. Ixmise E. Zaring, who won first honorable mention in 1919, Is represented by a lovely canvass, "The Sun .Kissed Valley" in which the light on the distant hills is strikingly beautiful. The sea view. "Mussel Rocks" also by hr. is one of the nicest things on exhibit. Clifton Wheeler's portrait of William Forsyth, recently shown in the portrait exhibit, is here again, and easily ranks first among the portraits. Coats Represented. Randolph Coats Is represented by r.ome surprisingly beautiful and picturesque canvasses, the best of which is his portrait of a woman entitled "Iola." His "Cesco's Garden" is a riot of color and shadows against an old house. His seaport scenes are particularly lovelv. One from a ill looking over the pretty little villages to the sail dotted sea beyond is fittingly named "A Wit Bit Moggish." The "Sand Dune, Village and Bay" offers lovely color contrasts. The picture hanging committee. Mrs. Elmer Eggemeyer, George H. Baker, Francis P. Brown. Harry Ross. Blanch Wait and Elmirt Kemp ton. assisted by! Mrs. Johnston, director of the art association, and Bertha Miller, curator ot the art gallery, will complete the arranging and numbering of the pictures Saturday. Award Foulke Prize. The Mary T. R.

SCHOOL ORCHESTRA TO APPEAR TONIGHT

The premiere of Richmond's first grammar school orchestrain the high school auditorium Saturday evening at S o'clock, which is another step forward in the city's musical growth, promises to attract a large audience. The grade school orchestras organized in seven schools of the city, since list September, have been combined into an ensemble of 70 pieces. The youngest member of the organization is only seven years old and will be one of the soloists at the concert.

Many of them are the pupils of symphony orchestra members, and all of them are said to be the pupils of local music teachers. Additions will be made to the organization before its next appearance, which will be at the May festival as a 100 piece orchestra, when it appears on the second afternoon with a chorus of 500 children of the grades. J. E. Maddy and Edna Marlatt will conduct the numbers of the orchestra in its initial concert. It will play six numbers. Seven solos also will be given.
