Weitenkampfj
Talks on
Etching
An illustrated talk made hy Frank
Weitenkampf on Thursday afternoon
in the Fontenelle, convinced a rather
limited audience of Fine Arts mem
bers, that art lectures aro not the
mental pills they aro popularly sup
posed to be.
Perhaps it was because the speaker
paid such scrupulous attention to his
i imeplece, a virtual stopwatch, for he
<|tiit speaking when his allotted hour
had struck. Perhaps the simplicity
of the terms In which he dealt robbed
'he laywomen who heard him of the
terrors Inspired hy the veiled phrases
nf artists talking of their technique.
Perhaps it was because in illustrat
ing his wood cuts, he showed us a
highly exotic representation of a mod
ern roof garden with great oddly
■shaped lights swinging aliove a mod
ern group of dancers. This he claim
ed as a very fine example of the wood
engravers art. used in a publicity
iiooklet of a New York hole!.
lie further brought etchings on
wood, his subject, within the ken of
ihe audience hy recommending them
for holiday cards, and bookplates, and
hy telling that they were being used
for theatrical posters. "Present day
advertising Illustrations,’’ he said,
In many Instances are some nf the
most significant examples of modern
tft.”
On the front wall of the ballroom
in which the lecture was held, were
hung 100 prints of etchings on wood
gathered together from the earliest
period in wood cutting until today.
These had lieen arranged there by
Maurice Block. The development cf
ihe art Mr. Weitcnkampf explained,
unbraces at the same time the his
tory and process of wood engraving.
In particular Mr. Weitenkampf
■-poke of Holbein as an etcher, though
we know him best as the portrait
painter of lvenry VIH. lie spoke of
'lie lovely Japanese color prints. "In
the hands of the Japanese the print
finds most sympathetic treatment.
I'hey are intensely decorative. Then
oo the grain of the wood, and even
lie mesh of the paper on which they
re printed show through the color,
jiving it tone and life.’’
The presence of Ralph Pearson,
■ isiting etcher, was an added note of
he picturesque, Mr. Pearson's great
leight and dark coloring being em
phasized hy the wearing of a scarlet
ie. Mr. Weitenkampf referred flat
eringly to his work during his dis
ourse and also spoke of the collection
'f anatomical and medical prints
iwned hy Dr. LeRoy Crummer. Many
if these Dr. Crummer secured in
Ingland a year ago while on hts wed
ling trip.

Miss Ann Clifton Has
Wide Range of Voice
A range of voice In two and one
half octaves is responsible for her
“dual” tones, says Ann Clifton of tho
“Bubble Bubble” company at the
Qayety theater this week. This un
usual role makes it possible for Miss
Clifton to sing soprano and baritone.
She takes the role of a man and of a
woman in the show.
“I practice an hour every morning
of the week,” said Miss Clifton.
“When I sing in so many octaves, it
in necessary to practice, a great deal
in order to place my voice correctly
for the two roles.”
Miss Clifton was offered a scholar
ship in music when blit a girl of 15
years. She sang in a. cabaret with
Rosa Fondle, the singer from the
Metropolitan Opera company, many
years ago in New Haven, Conn.
Among the musical comedy engage
ments taken by Miss Clifton is one
season as understudy for Fritzio
Scheff. Vaudeville has also claimed
Miss Clifton.
