A TRIBUTE TO THE
LATE JUDGE HACKNEY
RESEARCH STUDIO
SHOWS RECENT WORK
The memory of the late Judge
Leonard J. Hackney was hoonred
by prominent citizens of Winter
Park at the dedication of a stone
monument in the Kraft Azalea
Gardens on Saturday, March 18.
The occasion was one of informal,
neighborly tribute in appreciation
of Judge Hackney's foresight and
civic-mindedness in starting the
movement -which resulted in the
sanctuary of restful beauty that is
one of the proudest possessions of
the community.
Mr. Irving Bacheller in present-
The use of cement as a medium
of decorative expression, not only
for sculptor but the painter as well,
is entertainingly illustrated at Research Studio in Maitland where,
under the title "Recent Experiments" is being shown some of
the experimental work that has
been under consideration by the
resident artists of that progressive
organization.
The exhibition really starts at
the entrance gate where a sidewalk
in brick and carved cement demonstrates the possibilities of a decorative enrichment which can
change a few square yards of pavement into a work of art. And in
the forecourt, in the seat of honor
at the fan-shaped pool is a Mayan
"Rain God" done by William McVey. This was done directly in

THE POETRY SOCIETY
The home of Mr. and Mrs. R. B.
Barbour was filled with members
and guests of the Florida Poetry
Society on Saturday, March 25th,
when Jessiu B. Ritienhouse Scollard reviewed the tragic life history of Edwin Arlington Robinson from her own recollections, and
the recent biography by Hermann
Hagedorn.
Mrs. Scollard began her talk
with a vivid comparison of Robinson, city lovei',hating whippoorwills
and woman-shy, with his contemporary poet, Robert Frost, optimistic, rural and woman admirer, the
first born in California, the, other
in Maine, and as strangely diverse in character. The pageant of
suffering in Robinson's life was
traced to the frustration of his unhappy childhood when he was misunderstood and called "strange" by
his family, having been made deaf
by a box on the ear from a school
teacher.

grassy clearing with an impressive background of lofty pines and
cypress. On its bronze tablet is the

"I remember Kobinson as a finelooking1 man with a Christ-like
compassion, but always aloof and
lonely" continued Mrs. Seollard, as
she told of his youth at Harvard
where he contributed to college
magazines and later collected his
poems in his first book, "The Torrent
and the Night Before," and a larger volume called "Children of the
Night," which left him penniless.
Robinson was forced to take a
ten-hour-a-day job in the New York
Subway. She told of the chance
finding of this book by Kermit
Roosevelt, then a Groton school boy,
who praised it to his father, Theodore and the President's appointment of Robinson to a $2000 post
in the Custom House at New York.
"Always longing to write poetry" Mrs. Seollard continued "Robinson gave up this post in a despairing mood, a few years later,
fortunately to have the opportunity of his life for creative work
offered to him by a group of
friends, who financed him for several years at the McDowell Colony
in Peterborough, New Hampshire.
There, in a studio looking toward
Mount Monadnock, Robinson wrote
for many years and, in 1919 at
fifty years of age, his collected
poems won him great honors, and
the Pulitzer prize, which he received three times. Later his long
narrative poem "Tristram" selling
over 100,000 copies brought him a
large fortune."
Mrs. Seollard who: spent, the summer of 1914 at the McDowell Colony, gave interesting reminiscences
of Robinson at that time, reading
a beautiful poem "When I Saw
Monadnock," which she wrote under the inspiration of the view from
Robinson's window in the Veltin
Studio.
Illustrating Robinsons gift as a
revealer and diviner of the inner
life of men, Mrs. Seollard read the
poems "Richard Cory," "Miniver
Cheevy" and "Plammonde" which
she considers the masterpiece of his
gallery of men characters..
Miss Irene Hoenig of Rollins
College read the contributed poems
by Harold Vinal, Geraldine Hoffman, Gilbert Maxwell, Mrs. Scott
Key, Jessie Morris, Richard Kelly,
Irving Bacheller, E. R. Shippen,
Evelyn Newman, Mary Hoxie

"Flags Against the Wind," whose
authorship was kept secret.

were constantly filled during the
two-day period, with admiring enthusiasts. The reception Friday
evening at the Studio, given by the

guests from Orlando and Winter
Park, was a complete success.
The visiting judges: Mrs. Mary E.
Aleshire, Mrs. M. Bernard Philipp,
Miss Edith Fairfax Davenport, Mr.
Harold Hilton and Mr. Newton
Merrill spoke briefly, following
which the prize winners were announced and the guests were given
the first opportunity of examining
the prize winning works.
Rollins students received a sizable portion of the awards, and
three students, Jean Fairbanks,
Kay McDonough and Jefferson
Kennedy, received two or more
awards. The Orange County High

son, were of outstanding interest.
Arthur Mokray, talented young
Orlando artist, aroused much delighted comment with his "Landscape in Color".
Wilhelmina
Green's dexterity with water color
was shown once more in her sparkling "Anemonies", and other flower
studies. "Cortina," by Mrs. Ethel
Inman, won first prize in the oils
division.
Miss Kate Turner and Miss Virginia Tilden, who swept the fields
of etching and lithographing with
their work in these respective divisions, contributed much to the
general excellence of the entire exhibition. Miss Tilden also exhibited some well executed oils and
water colors.
Mrs. M. Bernard Phillipp has
suggested that next year the Allied Arts endeavor to secure some
especially fine work in fields of
portraiture, and others, in an attempt to bring out clearly the fact
that this exhibit, while designed as
a method of showing the progress
of local artists, has as its basic
aim, the desire to stimulate the
student, and to inspire him to
reach out for new vistas, in a constant drive toward a higher goal.
Miss Kate E. Turner, Miss Virginia Thomas, Miss Jean Fairbanks,
Mrs. Hiram Powers, and Miss Winifred Simpson assisted Miss Robie
as hostesses for the exhibition.
A list of the prize winning works
follows. "A Brown Study," by B.
Chalmers Fitzpatrick, was awarded the vote of the Jury of Awards
as the best painting in the entire
exhibition. Miss Francis Perrotet,
a Rollins student, received honorable mention for her entry in sculpture for "The Nun".
Over $100 will be awarded to the
winners of bine and red ribbons at
the final meeting of the Allied
Arts in April. Each first prize
will receive $5, second prize $3.

In the galleries the modern note
is at once made evident by Mr.
McVey's colorful overmantel, an
arrangement of discs, rectangles
and lines that was quite obviously designed to take its rightful
place in a room of Today. Here,
too, are shown other decorative
carved panels by Mr. McVey and
some "cement paintings" by Andre
Smith which are a combination of
sculpture and painting possessing
an exceptional decorative quality
due to the texture of the cement.
The Laboratory Gallery contains
a group of twelve paintings by
Harry Shaw, another resident artist, which illustrates the idea of a

executed in a uniform mood in

"As merry a little comedy as
ever threw a sleek-gowned firstnight audience into the aisles" was
the tribute of the Chicago American following a recent performance
of Ivor Novello's "Fresh Fields" in
the Windy City.
As the climax of their seventh
season, the Annie Russell Company
wOl stage this hilarious comedy
this afternoon and evening in the
Annie Russell Theatre. The play
will be presented at 2:30 for the
matinee and at 8:15 tonight.
The selection of "Fresh Fields"
for the last performance of the
Annie Russell Company this year
was made by Director Dorothy
Lockhart following the enthusiastic reception of Noel Coward's "Tonight at 8:30" produced last month.
"We have had numerous requests
from our audience for more comedy", said Miss Lockhart, "and in
response we're concluding our season's bill with "Fresh Fields" instead of the heavier-bodied "End
of Summer" which was originally
on our program".
MISS HAGOPIAN'S
SONG RECITAL
The many friends and admirers
of Miss Aroxie Hagopian, soprano,
made the stage of the Annie Russell Theatre a bower of flowers at
her recent recital which closed the
Faculty Series. Miss Hagopian is
the official representative of the
Juilliard School of Music at the
Rollins Conservatory. Besides her
accompanist, Mr. John Carter, she
*,«
Helen Moore, pianist, who skillfully played from manuscript a
tuneful Trio by Sidney Homer, who
with Mme. Louise Homer graced
the occasion with their presence in
a box.
Miss Hagopian revealed sincere
and conscientious interpretative
qualities and a vocal palette which
was colorful and especially effective in the mezzo range. Her diction was admirable in the three
languages she essayed. Highlights
of the recital were her imaginative
projection of the dynamic "Mandoline" of Debussy and the impressionistic "L'hiver" by Koechlin.
She gave several -encores in response to enthusiastic applause.
Mr. Carter, who has been heard
with pleasure before as soloist with
the Symphony Orchestra, proved a
sympathetic and technically competent accompanist and deserves
high compliment for his artistic
performance.
MRS. MARGARET SIEWERT
Mrs. Margaret Siewert, mother
of Herman F. Siewert, organist of
Knowles Memorial Chapel, died at
her residence, 311 Fairbanks Avenue Tuesday morning after a long
illness. Mrs. Siewert and her late
husband came to Winter Park 25
years ago from Michigan. She is
survived by one other son, two
daughters and two brothers who
reside elsewhere. The services
were held at her late home Friday
afternoon. The sympathy of the
Siewei't's many friends is extended
to them.

At a recent meeting of the Garden Club, Dr. E. A. Ziegler, of the
University of Florida, emphasized
the need of reforestation on a large
scale throughout the State. "Stop
burning the seedlings", he declared)
"which means a loss of $5 to $10
worth of potential forest products
per acre each year, in order to
get 20 to 30 cents worth of low
g'rade beef per acre." He pointed
out that unless reforestation is
made effective, the State will in 15
years be forced to import lumber.
