It ain't going to be long now
until you'll see the biggest show
on earth and that's no exagerra
tion The All-collitch circus this
coming Saturday is whipping into
fine shape as men and Gene
Wettstone are cracking the pro
verbial whip.
Last night men and G W over
saw the clowns in rehearsal, and
these guys Whitey, Rollo, and Co,
are going to come darn near to
stealing the show from me How
ever, my act, which I'm keeping a
deep secret is going to be the most
stupendous I've attempted since I
was kicked out of Ringling Bros
Wait'll you see me
Of all the things in the circus,
there is only one which actually
scares me to watch That is this
guy Clan Hess, who will attempt
to break the world's mark at "The
Muscle Grind" feat I'm waiting
for him to tear both arms out of
his sockets some day
Very close to Hess' act is Mom
Beck's, who will hold onto a piece
of leather by his teeth and be
lifted up to the roof of Wreck
Haul. I used to do this trick for
Barnum, but now that my teeth
belong to that dentist out in Fris
co, I ain't able to do the stunt
Ee Cee Davis has a plan for
breaking up the circus He and
his two buddies, Nick (Waistline)
Thiel and Ray (Slug) Conger are
now digging a tunnel under
Wreck Haul and expect to come
up in the middle of the floor Sat
urday night. They haven't been
seen for two days as they are busy
at their digging and the Corner
Room (free adv..) is sending them
food for their ordeel
You can still get reserved seat
tickets for the circus from Jorge
Donovan at stewdent onion and
if you get there too late there'll
be lots of general admish tickets
on sale Sat. night.

Poor Is Versatile Artist
And Excellent Workman
Painter Faces Many Problems In Old Main Fresco,
But He May Excel Even Justice Building Murals
Most people are willing to grant that besides being a carpenter,
boat-builder, steel-worker, mason, toofei, gardner, potter, plasterer,
and sculptor, Henry Varnum Poor is a painter and a very good one
This is a rare thing indeed
Most artists have critics who call
them signpainters and . consider
that overestimation About the
worst thing anybody has said
about Poor is that his color range
is limited because he is chiefly
concerned with essentials Even
that is not very disturbing be
cause it bungs out one of the
characteristics that makes him a
popular artist Thiough this he
has achieved a simplicity and a
'boldness that make him most in
telligible to the layman, who is
probably the real critic of aft
Poor's critics say he is a splen
did workman and an industrious
one He is not much of a talker
He is a good writer He is confi
dent in his reliance on himself. He
is probably a great man
Like the true workman, in his
paintings he is concerned with
direct statement and does not
make even oblique appeals to the
sentimental or the literacy, his
critics say Since his return from
Europe, they say he has shown,
the influence of the French but
without indebtedness to any par
ticular artist
' Henry Poor is not stody For
the time being only, the culmina
tion of his work lies in the six
mural panels he has done for the
Justice Department Building 'in
Washington Here Poor faced
limitations of subject matter, and
the limitations in time which fres
co
painting on wet plaster neces
sarily creates To Poor's credit, it
was here that he did his best
work
Painting at Penn State he must
face similar problems His sub
ject is the beginning of the Col
lege The,space again is difficult
a triangular area over the
flanking stairs in Old Main Lobby
where dimension and proportion
call for serious consideration The
painting is again a fresco, de
manding the same applied work
as his Justice panels
His approach to the Penn State
problem has already won him
praise here By choosing Lincoln
and the Morril Land Grant Act as
his central theme, he has made
the mural mole than just a local
history, his design for handling
the space with a triadic effect and
scale—Lincoln in the center, In
dustrial Pennsylvania to the right
and Agricultural Pennsylvania to
the left—has already been called
masterful, and only the actual
painting remains to complete the
job
When finished, the Penn State
fresco may prove his best, may
overshadow the Justice Building
murals. The mural will be among
the great ones of this age and the
Lincoln will be among the finest
in emstence All this is being
said It may well be true

new edition on the history of art
so as to include this newest
mural
These is more about Poor that
is not about his critics. He was
born in Chapman, Kan, in 1888.
He attended the public schools in
Kansas City. Already, by the time
he reached high school, Poor's
father had discovered that his son
was continuing the habit of draw
ing formed in early childhood`and
warned him that he did not wish
him to indulge in "art silliness."
Graduated from high school,
Pool went to Stanford University
where he was a star athlete as
well as a Phi Beta Kappa. In the
summer he worked in the wheat
fields and the lumber camps of
the west and northwest. From his
summer labors he saved enough
to spend a year in Europe where
he made a bicycle tour of the con
tinent and studied art in London
and Paris
After a year in Europe, Poor re
turned to Stanford and taught
drawing and painting there and
later at the California School of
Fine Arts in San Francisco He
was drafted during the war, and
at the front drew innumerable
portraits of fellow soldiers until
he was appointed by officers, who
wanted pictures of themselves, to
be the "regimental artist"
At the end of the war, the artist
settled near New York and in 1920
held his first one-man exhibition
in a New York dealer's gallery
Since young painters rarely make
a living from their art, Poor de
cided to take up some form of art
which had a more' practical mar
ket. He purchased a kiln from a
friend, bought a book on pottery,
and began to make simple deco
rated pottery which had an almost
immediate success For 10 years
he supported himself through it
and in 1928 helped to organize the
American Designer's Gallery
where he exhibited a bathroom
done in his own decorative tiles
Although Poor put a great dell of
himself into this work, he 'was
not leaching the goal he had set
for himself as an artist so in 1930
he gave up pottery as a main vo
cation and went to Europe to
paint. Ever since then he' has
given more time to painting than
to pottery
