ROLLINS FINE ARTS
SHOWING RECENT WORK
AT MORSE GALLERY
Rollins College Fine Arts Exhibition at Morse Gallery of Art,
Winter Park. (Opening Wednesday, Feb. 9, 1949—to run through
the month.)
In Providence, Rhode Island
there is now hanging an art exhibition entitled, "Twenty-nine'
isms in art since 1800." In the
Morse Gallery of Art here in Winter Park there is an exhibition of
the recent work of the faculty and
students of the Rollins department
of Fine Arts, What first impresses
the visitor is the fact that while
the students have been exposed
to all twenty-nine of the isms, as
well as to the great art periods of
the past, they have chosen in their
own expressive work to be, like
Gauthier, of those "for whom the
visible world exists." All display
not only technical ability but a
sensitive, poetic vision. Even those
who see most realistically do so in
a rather romantic fashion. While
no two model or paint alike there
is a pleasant feeling of unity about
the show as a whole.
Space does not permit of listing
the exhibitors here, and where
each has quality it would be
odious to make comparisons. The
work which in itself seems to sum
up the impression of unpretentious dignity and simple sincerity
pervading the whole exhibition is
the sculptured woman and child
by Professor Ortmayer in the
center of the gallery.
This exhibition will appeal to
all here interested in art and in
the activities of Rollins College.

DR. R. A. BUDDINGTON ON
"SCIENCE AND RELIGION"
IN COMMUNITY SERIES
Dr. Robert A. Budington will
give the lecture on Monday evening, February 14, in the Community Lecture Series. His subject will be "On the Co-development of Science and Religion."
Dr. Budington was for over
thirty years Professor of Zoolegy,
in Oberlin College. For fourteen
years he was Chief of Staff at the
Marine Laboratory, Woods Hole,
Massachusetts. He was also onetime president of the Ohio Academy of Science. He has published
many articles on zoological subjects. Since his retirement he has
lived in Winter Park; is a member
of the University Club; and devotes much of his time to continuing research along his special
line.
With the world concerned with
scientific experimentation in many
fields, and concerned likewise
with the moral implications of
some of those researches, the lecture will prove timely and enlightening. The public is cordially
invited to attend.
There will be no lecture on the
evening of February 21 because
of the Rollins academic convocation.

"SPAIN FOR EXAMPLE"
DR. HOSIC'S TOPIC
Dr. James F. Hosic, noted author, educator and lecturer, who
will be the John Martin" Series
speaker for Thursday, Feb. 17, at
the Congregational Church, will
have for his topic: "Spain, For
Example."
Dr. Hosic believes that our preoccupation with the threat of
Communism Causes many to forget that Fascism still holds several countries in its grip. Spain
is the outstanding example of dictatorship, not of the proletariat,
but of the "select few." Dr.
Hosic will describe how Fascism
came to Spain, what its present
condition is and American complacence in the face of the facts.

LAURENCE OLIVIER'S
"HAMLET" HERE FEB. 20
Laurence Olivier's film presentation of "Hamlet," now being
roadshqwn in the larger American cities, will open for a oneweek engagement on Sunday evening, February 20, at the Annie
Russell Theatre.
The film, a J. Arthur Rank enterprise, which has received outstanding critical acclaim in every
city where it has played, will be
shown twice daily at 2:30 and
8:30.
"Hamlet" is the second Shakespearean film made by Olivier,
following on his triumphant
Academy Award winner, "Henry
V." Its reception in the cities in
which it has already played indicates that his film version of
Shakespeare's greatest drama is
destined for even greater honors.
Olivier again performs a threefold role in "Hamlet"—as star,
producer and director. Joined

MARTHA SHARP
(Continued from Page 1)
Mrs. Waitstill H. Sharp has an
extraordinary record of service in
European relief work, during and
since the World War.
She and her husband were sent
into Czechoslovakia in February,
1939, by the Unitarian Service
Committee, to aid the 250,000
refugees driven out of Sudetenland by the Munich' Agreement.
They were the only American
workers there and were given the
administration, of other funds
also, among them the large
Nicholas Murray Butler Fund,
They remained there about
seven months establishing maternity hospitals, homes for displaced children, feeding and
clothing projects, and set up an
immigration office through which
over 3,500 families were enabled
to emigrate.
They remained until Nazi
espionage and activities made
further work impossible and were
the last relief workers to leave.
The following year, 1940, Mr.
and Mrs. Sharp were sent by the
Unitarian Service Committee to
southern France where they inaugurated milk and other projects
for the relief of the starving
refugees and their children.
They were instrumental in
finding and sending to this country many intellectuals whose
names are well known here and
in Europe and whose lives under
the Nazis were in danger.
Later she was made Director of
the Unitarian Service Committee
work in Spain and Portugal, with
headquarters in Lisbon, and has
been decorated by the government of Portugal for her accomplishments there.
Here she performed an unprecedented work among the Spanish
Republican and other refugees
who had fled from Spam, many of
whom were confined in jails as
political prisoners.
Through her efforts with the
government representatives from
Latin-American countries, she
was able to obtain visas, passports and other papers for hundreds of these people, and they
Spring Hats
Flip-it Cloth Hats
tind New Spring Straws
were sent to welcoming Mexico
and South American countries to
start life over again.
During her work in Europe and
her visits to concentration camps,
she became deeply concerned
about the plight of the Jewish
children, children without a country, homeless, most of them
orphans who had seen their
parents and relatives go into the
gas chambers of the Nazis.
As a result of the needs of
these unfortunate children, she,
with the cooperation of Christian
and Jewish religious leaders in
America, organized "Children to
Palestine, Inc." and is one of its
Directors.
Mrs. Sharp has given her time
and energies for several years to
the work of this organization,
speaking to thousands of persons
in hundreds of cities all over the
country from the Atlantic to the
Pacific Coasts.
Twice she has visited Palestine
in recent years and traveled from
Dan to Beersheba, in order to
bring back eye-witness reports of
the progress there in the education and rehabilitation of these
young people in their new land
of Israel.
Her most recent visit was last
summer during the month of
August, and she will tell her
audience on Wednesday, Feb.
23rd, of her experiences, her observations and adventures during
that visit.
The proceeds of this lecture will
be used for the work of the
Unitarian Service Committee carried on in Europe for the dis^
placed and orphaned children of
all nationalities, of which there
are still over 100,000; a work in
which Mrs. Sharp is still deeply
interested.

TIBOR PATAKY'S
PAINTINGS SHOWN AT
DAYTONA BEACH
Winter Parisians who remember
the distinctive exhibition of paintings by Tibor Pataky at the Research Studio previous to the war
will be pleased to learn of the
one-man show which this talented
painter is to open on Feb. 13th
at the Art Center Gallery at Daytona Beach. During the war Mr.
Pataky was kept too busy by the
army drawing plans for air-fields
to get time for much painting but
when it came to an end he returned to his art and this exhibition is the first in which his work
is presented this season.
The show at Daytona Beach
which is sponsored by the Daytona Beach Art League will comprise 35 oil paintings, some of
which are Hungarian and others
Mexican. The public is cordially
invited daily from 2 to 5 P. M.,
Sundays, included without admission charge, the closing date Feb.
26th.
Tibor Pataky was born in Budapest in 1901. He studied underJanos Vaszary and Gyula Rudnay
at the Royal Hungarian Academy
of Fine Arts. In 1930 Pataky won
the scholarship at the Collegium
Hungaricum of Vienna—an honor
similar to the Prix de Rome—later
exhibiting in Vienna and principal cities of his native land.
Since 1931 Pataky has been living in Orlando, Florda, and hecame a citizen of the United
States in 1938. He has had numerous one-man shows in various
parts of the United States; Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida; Palace of the Legion of
Honor, San Francisco, California;
Art Museum, Seattle, Washington; State University of Montana,
Bozeman, Montana; San Francisco
Art Center, San Francisco, California;, Delphic Studios, New
York, N. Y.; Research Studios,
Maitland, Florida; Doll & Richards, Boston, Mass. •
Andre Smith, director of the
Research Studio, pays tribute to
Pataky's art in commenting on
the Daytona exhibition: "His
