tracting crowds of art lovers.
If we are, within the limits of a
short article, to give an idea of the
treasures it contains, we cannot
do better than enumerate them
Fortunately there are readers who
get as much pleasure out of a list
of artists and artistic works as oth
ers do from the description of a
menu.
Let us begin with the Bernese
Nicolas Manuel Deutsch, the great
Renaissance painter, whose pic
tures are divided between Basle
and Berne.
While the former town possesses
the drawings and the allegories
painted after the reformation, the
latter has practically all those
works which preceded it—^15 pic
tures and reredos panels, the sub
jects of which are religious.
St. Luke painting, the Tempta
tion of St. Anthony, and the por-
I traits are first-rate and are ac
companied by works of less known
I or unknown contemporaries, which
(are also very good.
I Of the old pictures, there is a
series of Italian primitives, two
superb Cranachs (poi;traits of Luth
er and his wife, which are as good
as those of the Offices) and two
very fine still lifes by Evariste
Baschenis.
Then there is a section devoted
to contemporary Bernese painters,
first and foremost Hodler, and
some sculptors.
It is however the section contain
ing the moderns which will delight
the visitor most. In this vast col
lection, which is not the property
of the museum, but is permanently
housed there, will be found the
names of all the great western
painters: Delacroix, Ingres (draw
ings), Corot, Manet, and Courbet,
etc.
There is a curious seascape by
Sisley, painted at the end of his
career,-:and flash'.

period and a Provence work), three
works by Renoir (a delightful
“woman bathing”, a mother and
child and an exquisite group of
washerwomen), also three pictures
by Cezanne (a selfportrait and two
landscapes).
Theft there is a pleasant Bon
nard (‘in a southern garden’), two
Vuillards, a few Matisses, includ
ing a beautiful room upholstered
in red, two Modiglianis (in particu
lar the portrait of Kremaque) and
four typical Renaults.
There are four pictures by Utril
lo, including the famous terrace
“in the Rue Muller”, the “Willow
Street” and “the Mont-Cenis road”,
which are among his best works.
The collection of Soutines is also
remarkable; of the seven pictures
shown here, the “Skinned Ox”, a
very expressionist landscape and
“the great tree at Vence” will perr
haps attract most attention, or pos
sible a little girl in blue, of a sur
prising tenderness.
Further on will be seen a. “Nor
mandy Coast” (a Vlaminck of the
best period) a big Chagall, a Nolde,
a Macke and a Marc.
Two Jawlenskys complete the
series of German painters, while a
sombe Buffet,- two Derains, two
Picassos and five little La Fres-
nayes complete the majestic series
of“figuratives”, while Kandinsky,
Miro and Poliakoff represent the
abstract painters.

when they selected their Presi
dent-Elect, Harold Orringer, to
serve as General Chairman for

He has turned out to be a veri
table hall of fire in this capacity,
and to him belongs much of the
credit for the excellent planning
’that assured the convention's suc-
'eess. Harold's ability comes as
no surprise to visiting Tar Heel

ble for the sale of literally tons
of the famous Claxton-^ fruit
cakes, making possible many
worthy projects.
Here in New Bern, proceeds
have enabled New Bern Civitans
