“the farmyard” (toys)
is striking on account of its decorative effects.
The mosaics which adorn it were designed and
executed by Leopold Forstner in the Wiener
Mosaik-Werkstatte. They are of singular beauty,
rich in design, the work of a true artist.

The rooms devoted to the arts and crafts are of
exceptional interest. Here is shown exquisite
work by Professors Kolo Moser, Josef Hoffmann,
C. O. Czeschka, Paul Roller and Otto Prutscher,
executed in the Wiener Werkstiitte ; by Professor
Josef Olbrich, F. Died, Adele von Stark, Marietta
Peyfuss, Emanuel Mar-
gold, Rosa Rothausl, Hans
Ofner, Ugo Zovetti, Editha
Moser, and Jutta Sika,
former students of the
Kunstgewerbeschule. Re-
migius Geyling’s designs
for stained-glass windows
show much originality in
design, and this young
artist has deserved the
recognition accorded to
him. Quite a number of
Professor Wagner’s late
pupils contributed their
share to the success of the
exhibition, among them
Otto Schonthal, Emil
Hoppe,and Robert Farsky.
The last named arranged
the Architectural Hall.

Another room contains
beautiful examples of lace
from the Dalmatian Lace
Fachschule and the Imperial Central Lace School.
A place has also been found for “ Kunst ftir das
Kind.” This was done by the girls in Prof. Bohm’s
class in the Art School for Women and Girls,
Vienna. The frieze is the joint work of many girls ;
it was finished in four days, everything being made
by the girls themselves as well as the designs. De-

Podhajska, Marianne Roller, Johanna Hollmann,
Therese Trethahn, Luise Horovitz, Magda Mautner
von Markhof, picture books, and pictures by Marianne
Adler, Marianne Wieser, in fact, everything to give

“THE DANCE

BY PROF. FRANZ METZNER

A special room is
given up to the art of
the theatre, which, how-
ever, is too great a sub-
ject to be more than
mentioned in a brief
notice. It is only neces-
sary to mention such
names as Professor A.
Roller, the artist of the
Imperial Opera House;
Professors Kolo Moser,
Emil Orlik, C O.
Czeschka and Richard
Teschner to prove in
what earnestness the work
has been carried out.
