LEIGH ART EXHIBIT " TO OPEN IN GALLERY SUNDAY AFTERNOON

. Howard Leigh's second annual ex'hibition of lithographs, etchings, and dry-points, will open In the Public Art gallery on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock with a public reception. The New Year's opening of the exhibition is to be made a very special occasion in honor of the artist who formerly resided here. Mr. Leigh now has a studio in New York where he made a dramatic sensation two years ago upon his return from France where he won the recognition ,of the French government for his drawings in wartorn regions. Mr. Leigh will be present at the opening Sunday. The exhibition surpasses in interest that shown here last year as it contains many figure studies, a new field into which the artist is projecting his talent, having confined himself to architecture and landscape heretofore. The figure studies are striking, commanding, full of rhythm and feeling. Some wonderful lithographs, notable among which are pictures of Harkresa tower, Yale university, and those of an estate at Oyster Bay, New York. The latter have been exhibited here and abroad. FRENCH ART PIECES. Some of the best of the lithograpbc done in France, which were exhibited here last year, are included in the present showing. The head cf an old man in color which hangs ir the north gallery is worthy of note. It is a lithograph and to produce the colors it was necessary to make the drawing on four stones. Colored lithographs are still in the experimental stage and Mr. Ieigh enjoys the distinction of being the first American artist to make them. An informal musieale, arranged by Josiah Marvel, who is in charge of the reception, is to be given during the New Years afternoon opening. Th: program will be presented by a string quartette, composed of Helen Addleman, firft violin; Charlotte Colvin, rrcond violin; Helen Roland, 'cello, and Alice Smith, violin.
