STUDIO-TALK
“ THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS ”
BY EDWARD W. REDFIELD
(Pennsylvania Academy)
in the canvas Drying Sails ; Mr. Everett
Warner took us in the aeroplane, Above the
Clouds ; and Mr. Frank W. Benson proved
a startling realist in Flying Merganser. 0
The offering of sculpture was unusually
numerous, and some of it was very good.
There were fine portrait busts of Lieut.-Col.
Phillippe B. Varilla, by Miss Malvina
Hoffmann; of General George W. Goethals,
by Mr. Sigurd Neandross; and of Mrs.
Nicholas Biddle, by Dr. R. Tait McKenzie;
good nudes in Miss Nancy Coonsman's
fountain group, Frogs and Girls, and The
Pigeon Girl, by Mr. Brenda Putnam; and
a capital bit of animal work in Miss Laura
Gardin Fraser's Snuff. 000
Eugene Castello
TORONTO.—The forty-first exhibi-
tion of the Royal Canadian Academy
at the Art Gallery was distinctly richer
than its predecessor here some two years
ago. It contained four large canvases
painted for the Canadian War Memorials,
and had also a greater variety of portrait
and figure work than usual. The work of
younger contributors was fairly progres-
sive in character, and held its own well
with the older and more conventional pic-
tures. 0 0 0 0 0
The four war canvases are by J. W.
Beatty, Maurice Cullen, A. Y. Jackson,
and F. H. Varley. In his Huy, on the
Meuse, Belgium, Maurice Cullen has
frankly abandoned the strict theme of war
