In addition to tho work of the Phila
delphia artiste Is a loan exhibit of Mrs.
flnrry IVtyne Whitney's prize competition
of "Tho Soul of the Immigrant," re
cently exhibited nt her studio In New
York. The posters offered on the sub
ject, "Tho Immigrant In Amerlcn," nrc
evidence of n deep appreciation of the
glory of tho prorjed land. In the ejes
of tho immigrant artist, beyond tho gate
way of Kills Island lies the open road
to success.
One sculptor alono voices the bitter
disappointment of tho many who havo
found America tho tana of the "almighty
dollar He symbolises his nttltude In n
plcco of sculpture about a foot high of
n dnrk composition. A largo hnnd Is
shown squeezing a heart. From the baso
of the heart nro dropping round disks,
icpiescntlng dollars. The nails of tho
hand nro touched with gold, nud the rims
nf the dollars nrc edged with It. These
notes accentuate the point tho Bculptor
N endenvorlng to make. oT lilirt, what
tho average Immigrant hns to undergo
serves but to turn his blood into money.
The Whitney collection hns Its nnswer
In the works offered by tho Philadelphia
nrtlats of foreign birth and of foreign
descent. While tho former gives the Im
migrant on tho threshold, ready Tor as
similation, the Americanization through
nrt exhibit nt Memorlnl Hnll shows how
much nrt can and hns done for tho Im
migrant and also, how much the new
comer hns done for the nit of tho new
world.
