Royal Institute Galleries in January was the best
they have held. It was full of vitality as well as
variety. Especially deserving of comment on this
occasion was work by Messrs. J. P. Beadle, E. S.
Lowe, G. C. Drinkwater, W. T. M. Hawksworth,
Steven Spurrier, Terrick Williams, Moffat Lindner,
Claude Hayes, Frank Gillett, W. Monk, Douglas
Fox-Pitt, G. L. Stampa, J. Hassall, and Miss Clark-

Nieper, a native of Dresden
