LIBRARY ht SAN mo, CALIF. “st LAST WINTER Lseat Resident Smelt: This As 1 Worth While Trip; Tells of Bantu-l Are you going to Canton“; this winter? " you at 1nd pun to Imp " few days " Lon Angela, by all means visit "The Henry E. Huntinr ton Library and Art Gillery st San Moreno. It is one of the most wonder- ful orthe many place: of interest in Southern California and is only ten miles away from the business can“: of Los Angeles. Because this is the first yell HIR- ors have been admitted into the Hunt- inglon Estate few tourists know my- thing about the Ute Henry E. Hunt mgmn and his wonderful collections. tVisitors: were first admitted on Jan» nary 27, 1928). Librarians have been aware that Mr. Henry E. Huntington WP.s kuiljing up a great library. Ever since 1912 when he made his first great purchase of the E. Dwight Church Library of Brooklyn, N. Y.. but the public has been too recently allowed to view the estate to know much about it or its treasures. Catalina Island. Mount Lowe and Pasadena's Busch Gardens have al- way; attracted visitors to Los An- geles. and they are truly interesting delightful places to visit," but here is a new attraction of a higher order upon which Mr. Huntington expended as much or very nearly as much tap ital as Mr. William Wrigley did when. he bought and improved the entire island of Catalina. It was hoped by the founder that those who appreciate the truly great m literature and art might have an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful things he had brought together. but it was not. his desire that the estate E be visited by the idly curious or by; the empty thrill seeker. Therefore l persons desiring admittance must a} t ply for entrance tickets in advanu and the number of admissions is lim- ited to approximately 250 each day“ Applications are filed in the order 01’ receipt and no more than five card: are issued to any one applicant. Chil- I dren under ten years of age are not‘ admitted. The Rates of the estate are , open to holders of tickets from far; p. m, to 4:30 p. m., each Monday,, Wedreday, Friday. and Sunday. Byl this arrangement. the visitor is in-l sured against a crowd. The writer. once visited Mount Vernon on a holi- l day when so many people were ad-l mitted inside its gates that very little‘i was seen or enjoyed -- when the crowds became so unmanageable that' no one was allowed to Ree the upstairs g mums. Under the arrangement of the late Mr. Huntington such a situal tion as this could not occur on the Huntington Eitate. (' . Not all of the library is open to the public. The library proper is re-j served for “scholars and other per-' qons engaged in research or creative work in history literature. art. science, l and kindred subjects." If the reader; is interested he will find an account of "The Huntington Library and Art; Gallery" with its new plan of research _ nf many well known private cellecq timber: of the Huntington library in the July 1927 number of Scritrners.i It explains what Doctor Max Fon‘ rand, formerly professor of history at Yale university and now director of) Research at the Huntington library,; hopes to accomplish there through re- 1‘ search. Although the library proper) is closed to non students, the museum; of the library with its display of 1 rare books, maps and documents isl open to the public, a3 well as the four‘ rooms in the library containing the Arabella D. Huntington Memorial Aral. collection. Then, too, visitors are in-l, vited to enjoy the Art Gallery with.‘ its marvelous Collection of eitrhtrrtthi Century English paintings end the: gardens of the two hundred acre ts-l tate in which are planted trees, uhrnbs and plants from every - of thel earth. 1 DAG.
