Museum Of Modern Art Exhibit
row On Display Af College Gallery
. By DOROTHY M:SAVARD '42'
One of the most stimulating ex
hibitions of art ever held on the
campus is now being 'presented
hy the Museum, of Mo,dern Art, in
the College.,Art Gallery,„ 303 Main.
engineering. It will be open tcz,
visitors until the end of the month.
The exhibit is unusual in that
the , ' sources of the pictures by
mo,dern painters, are mounted on
the same panels with the related
pictures. Although these sources
are but small factors in the forma
tion of a painting,-definite com
parisons can be made in most
cases.
There are several different ori
gins shown for the paintings—
European painting, the ancient art
of the Egyptians and Greeks, the
decorative art of the Persians,
Medieval Art, PrimitiVe Art,
Japanese Prints, and Photography.
Some of the better known masters
whose work is shown are Manet,
Cezanne, Matisse, Van Gogh, De
gas, and Deli.
One exceptionally clear example
of the comparisons in the exhibit
is shown by Paul Gaugain's "Ta
Matete." The large and colorful
picture is easily recognized as a
direct derivative from an Egyptian
tomb fresco, c. 1450 B. C. Gau

Chapel Fund Split
The proposed split of the Chapel
fund was approved by the Parmi
Nous hat society at a meeting at the
'Phi Kappa - fraternity
.last night.
"In view of the fact that,the par
mi Nous hat society has. backed
Mrs. Hetzers loan fund since its
origin, the society will do every
thing. in its power so, that some of
.the 'chapel colleetionswill be di

Finn '42, prelsident, stated.
gain has used the figures in his
painting exactly As those in . the
fresco, shown with the picture—
legs and heads in profile, should
ers and torso, front face. Gaugain
is - known for his brilliant color
and brushwork, and he has shown
no exception in this fine painting.
Most people . associate Pablo
Picasso with fanciful abstractions.
Yet, if one compaies the dreamy.
'-'Woman. in White with „the Hel
lenistic marble head of 'the god
dess, Hera, from the second cen
tury B. C., he will get •an alto
gether different viewpoint on the
great Spanish painter. The pic
ture has a soft restful quality that
is brought forth by the classic
features of the woman, the easy
brushwork, the chalky, almo3t
faded, whites, grays, and greens.
Most of the pictures appear to
have been derived from their ac
companying sources. Yet, the, de
rivation of . Degas' "Jockeys in
Training," (photographs of mov
ing horses), seems rather far
fetched, since the artist who did
so well with his renderings of the
ballet obviously had a natural
uncanny sense of movement. Des
pite some of the vague analogies
of the Masterpieces, the exhibit,
because of its' wide range; should
not be missed.

Collealate Theme
An Players' Show
When the Penn State Players
present - their second version of
"The Male Animal" on Saturday
night, they will put on a play
which not only has collegiate at
mosphere, but one which was writ
ten by two men who began writ
ing together while still in college.
"The Male Animal" is the result
of the collaboration of James Thur
ber, noted cartoonist of "New
Yorker" magazine, and Elliott Nu
gant, playwright-actor. During
their undergraduate days at Ohio
State University, Thurber combin
ed his dialogue-writing talents
with Nugent's plots to form a cam
pus .writing team which handled
everything from short skits to full
length plays.
In the original Broadway pro
duction which ran more than a
. year. 'before it Went on tour, Nugant
played Professor Turner. At pres
ent he is in Hollywood advising on
the movie production of the play.
The story relates how an edi
torial by a young "radical" for the
campus paper almost causes - the
professor's dismissal for "Red'
leanings, and in additiOn, all but
wrecks his marriage. Along the
way "The Male Animal" misses
none of the typical foibles and fol
lies of collegiate life—hero wor
ship of the gridiron gladiators,
"red-baiting" of the .powers-that
be, asinities of the alumni, witch
hunting hySterics of the all-power
ful trustees fearing :Communistic
contamination, etc.
`but of all this the nose-thumb
ing team of Thurber and Nugent
has brewed a conventional trian.
gle—Professor Turner the former
All-American halfback, and the
prof's wife," wrote Kaspar Mona
han 'of the Pittsburgh Press in a
recent review.
"But the results are anything but
conventional, and hilarity runs riot
through the three acts."
Association To Meet
The 59th annual meeting of the
Pennsylvania State Veterinary
Medical Association will be held
in Harrisburg next weekend, ac
cording to Pres. James F. Shigley,
who is professor of veterinary
science at the College.
