Among Thalmann's exhibits will be two series, one known as "The Passion," assion" exhibit is in black and white, h startling light effects, the emotional setting of Christ's last days on earth. There is only a suggestion of actual portrayal of the characters in this great- est of human dramas,~the effects being produced largely through the back- ground. Gesthemene,* for example, is largely 2 through a writhing tree in rden, bleak and storm tossed, the figuresof "Christ being indi- cated merely by a small silhouttee, in prayer. Thessecond series-- "The Cathedral'-- consists of ten large plates representing the spiritual significance of the church. It is fascinating to see how, with simple black and white vertical lines, Thal- mann has produced an effect of spiritu- ality, of aspiration, of lofty idealism, of the imminent prescence of spiri being. The exhibit is utterly diffe; any that has been seen in til It is through an unusual s cumstances and rare good it has been possible to sec for Winnetka. Mr. Percy B.
