McOelland Barclay
Mrs. Blakley
Talks About
European Trip
Thursday morning, April 3, Mrs.
Hunter B. Blakely gave an interest
ing and helpful talk at freshman
chapel. She spoke on the popular
subject “A Trip to Europe.” She
made’ valuable suggestions about the
clothes tlmt should be taken on such
a voyage. She said that one should
plan to take a wardrobe that would
be suitable for the climates of Eu
rope, although not appropriate in
New York.
Mrs. Blakely stated the importance
of making hotel reservations in ad
vance of one’s arrival. Occasionally
hotels do not offer fair prices to the
unknowing American tourists, so such
conflicts should be avoided by early
reservations, she said.
“An European trip is a real venture
and if planned sensibly and care
fully should be a delightful experi
ence,” the speaker declared.
The final lecture of the Queens
College Concert and 'Lecture series
will be presented on April 18 at
8:15 o’clock in the college auditorium.
McClelland Barclay, noted illustra
tor, will be the speaker. His sub
ject will be -“An Artist Looks at
Art and Life.” The talk will be il
lustrated with sketches.
Mr. Barclay is an industrial design
er and magazine illustrator. He is
well-known as the creator of the
popular “Fisher Body Girl,” who was
the first of his many lithesome, radi
ant beauties which have for more than
a decade set American standards of
beauty and charm. He has possibly
done more than any other artist liv
ing to glorify and exemplify charac
teristic American types. His ideal
ized portraits and magazine covers
portraying the American girl have
made her become a distinct and rec
ognizable type the world over.
Mr. Barclay’s skill in painting is
most outstanding, clear-cut, and
unique. All his works are distinguish
ed by an individual technique which
is not easily imitated. His numer
ous illustrations and magazine cov
ers have appeared regularly in well-
known publications and have estab
lished him as one of the foremost
modern illustrators.
This lecture promises to be equal
ly as interesting as the others given
in the series presented at the col
lege. Dr. Lucile Delano has served
as chairman of the committee which
arranged the concert' and lecture
series. The series included Andre
Maurois, Elissa Landi, Osa Johnson,
the Michigan Little Symphony, and
the Siberian Singers.
