this architecture has all the qualities
necessary to attract attention. One may
agree that this is no small accomplishment.
The entrance opens into a large and
somewhat low room full of show-cases
arranged in a new and ingenious way.
This is devoted to Czecho-Slovakian
popular art and various products of
industrial art. There are embroideries,
glassware, textiles, exhibits in wood and
basket-work, coming from Bohemia,
Moravia, Slovakia and sub-Carpathian
Russia, all of which have a charm at once
simple and refined which seems to me
irresistible. Especially notable is the
glassware, adorned with floral motives in
enamel, exhibited by Mile. Braunerova,
which is picturesque, fantastic and original.
Also, a more than ordinary interest
attaches to the models of decorative
schemes for the National and Municipal
Theatres at Prague. a a a

tended for the public eye. In particular,
that section of advertising devoted to the
design and production of posters is becom-
ing more and more notable as commercial
activities develop and extend. The early
days of the poster movement were made
brilliant by the splendid achievements of
a comparatively few artists, whereas to-
day, groups of artists, as well as prominent
