Four QUEENS BLUES December 4, 1931 EXCHANGE Queen City of the South, Dearest Sal: Thursday Nite, Oh, there is so much to be said! Honestly, I hardly know where to begin. Did you see Duke’s extra issure of the Chronicle? It was a sport issue, all yellow with the most cute looking men’s pictures. All roads lead to Duke Saturday, November 21, for the Duke-Carolina game. There were eighteen native North Carolina men in the game, nine for Duke and a like number for Carolina. Speaking of roads reminds me: It’s easy enough to be pleasant When your automobile is in trim. But the man worth while Is the man who can smile When he has to ride back on a rim. (Old Gold and Black). It had been announced; they met; they argued; they killed time, and at last the organiza tion of the first Co-ed Club was announced. Sal, did I tell you about my little brother, Tommy, who had heard considerable about the un employment, coming home from kindergarten Friday evening, and announcing: “I don’t have to go back to school tomorrow, I’m laid off until Monday.” Sylvia Lent, who has been ac claimed one of the masters of violin, will entertain at Winthrop College, December 1. She is a young violinist having an estab lished reputation. And, Hampden-Sidney’s maga zine won the 1931 Silver Loving Cup offered by the Virginia Inter collegiate Press Association. Bien a vous, ALICE. TEACHER’S CORNER Notes on the Fuerillo Painting After some two years of re search on the problem of authen ticating the painting presented to the College by the class of 1929, reputed to be a conv of a Paninni, the following definitely establish ed data has been collected: The composition is the work of one Arthuro Fuerillo, staff artist to the house known as the Harris Interior Arta, 216-218 East 49th Street, New York City and is after the manner of the celebrated Claude Lorraine (Claude Gelee of Lorraine, sometimes referred to as Claude, often as Lorraine) whose work hangs both in the National Gallery of London and in the Louvre in Paris. The painting, designated by the Harris establishment as pattern No. 398, shows, in addition to similarity of foilage^water- surface,and cloud treatment, definite^use of bits of Lorraine’s detail. The woman dressed in pink in the foreground of our painting is almost identically the same form as a prominent figure in Lorraine’s “The Embarkation of St. Ursula.” The broken bits of frieze on the ground suggest “Le debarquement de Cleopatre a Tarse.” The arches in our picture are reappearances of arches in a building in the Lorraine painting entitled “Un Port de mer au Soliel couchant.” That is the most that can be said for Fuerillo’s clever piece of adaptation which the dealer declares was meant merely for decoration and which cannot be regarded as a work of great tasons NEWS PRINTING HOUSE merit. There is a noticeable bold ness of outline in our painting, a paucity of detail in comparison with prints of Lorraine’s originals, though it is thoroughly sugg'estive of the Lorraine school. Lorraine and his imitators are interesting chiefly for their effective use of diffused light and of color in land scape. The figures are of second ary consideration. Due credit and thanks should be given Miss Aurelia Adams of Lake Junaluska, N. C., and of lampa, Fla., for her untiring efforts in trying to authenticate the painting. When she was in London this past August and later when she returned to Paris to teach English to French orphans in an old chateau, she collected whole sets of Lorraine prints and sent them to the College Libra rian. It was by this means that there were established points of similarity between certain features of various Lorraine originals and the Fuerillo composition. It was the Louvre which first suggested the resemblance of the style of our painting to that of the Lor raine pictures when its experts had examined a snap-shot of our lecture—a triumph of indoor photography — m a d e by Earl Canton, Jr. The Louvre was used as a source of information be cause the possibility that our picture was a copy of Paninni’s Ancient Ruins” hanging in that gallery seemed a good lead. How ever, Paninni never painted the sea, the authorities there com mented most illuminatingly in courteous French phrases. And thus ends one intellectual journey. (Note: This painting hangs in Burwell Hall; on the right, im mediately inside of the Main En trance.) —Rena C. Harrell. Freshman’s Diary V ❖ Saturday, November 28: Wotta day! This rains frightfully cheer ful (irony, sarcasm, or what have you), ’specially after that glorious Thanksgiving day. Finally got 'round to unpacking my suitcase and hanging up my clothes this morning. Should be congratulated on doing it so early. Sunday, November 29: Went to church after all, after having- firmly resolved to take a church cut. Wore my slicker and nearly froze up. Too bad I didn’t. Might have been saved the trouble of wriring that English theme. Monday, November 30: Only eighteen days until Christmas holidays! Doesn’t that sound perfectly scrumptious ? And, oh, yes! I must write my letter to Santa Clause right away. Tuesday, December 1: Had a little quiz on punctuation today. Just know Mrs. Townsend will be glad to learn from my paper some amazing new discoveries on the subject. Wednesday, December 2: Spent all afternoon writing an old theme in English. Or rather I thought up my subject from two-thirty to five-thirty, and then wrote the paper from then till six. That’s concentration for you. Thursday, December 3: The PTeshman Math Club, an organi zation for the mutual benefit of all poor struggling Math students of my hall, had its every other nightly meeting in my room to night t'rom seven until light bell. Meeting unsuccessful. Friday, December 4: Didn't hear a single bell this morning. Which all goes to show that my sleeping ability has not been af fected at all by the depressing cares of college life, even though my thinking ability has.
