October 27, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 13 CRITIC PRAISES WATSON LECTURE ON GREEK ART Sizable Crowd Hears Speaker Despite Inclement Weather By Critic Inclement weather did not deter a large number of enthusiasts last Mon- day evening who wished to hear the second lecture in a series being given by Dudley Crafts Watson in Matz Hall at the Community house, Winnetka. Mr. Watson, with his ready humor, expressed the hope "that the audience had not all come out in the rain merely because they had course tickets." Since single tickets are being sold for each lecture this was not the case; those who heard Mr. Watson's first lecture or those he gave last year would not be kept away by mere weather. Their enthusiasm for Mr. Watson's lectures was given further vindication by his talk last Monday on "Greece in its Supremacy." His explanation at first that Americans had always been trained to love color and not to love form and that Greece, in its art as well as scenery, lacked color but had produced the most perfect architectur- al and sculptural form the world has known, did not promise much enter- tainment for the remainder of the evening but the audience found, as he said travelers who go to Greece find, that "it is impossible to be bored" by Greece and its, art. Most of the well known pieces of statuary of Grecian sculptors are to be found outside of Greece, the major- ity of them in the British museum, ac- cording to Mr. Watson. It was nat- ural, then, that most of his lecture and the majority of the slides were devoted to the Acropolis and that perfect ex- ample of Grecian art--the Parthenon. Mr. Watson spent some time in Greece this last summer and his un- usual ability in representing scenes and incidents in an entertaining way was brought out many times. The young Americans who breathlessly begged the rest of the party who were gazing in awe at the Winged Victory of Samo- thrace to "come see Peggy Joyce" was one instance of this, and another was his very beautiful description of an evening of authentic Greek dances given by a former Chicago girl, Isabel Markham, and her Greek dancer hus- band, Kanelos, on the floor of the Parthenon in the moonlight. Mr. Watson included glimpses of art in Mycenae, Corinth, and Delphi in his slides and showed examples of Byzant- ian Mosaics which he said were the only contribution Greece has made to art since the age of Pericles. His lecture finished with the idea that "sculpture is the expression of life itself," in the same way that poetry is the expres- sion of thought and music the expres- sion of the emotions. The next lecture of this series given under the auspices of the North Shore Art league will be given by Mr. Wat- son on November 5 and his subject will be "The Art and Life of North Africa." Tickets for the lecture may be obtained from Mrs. J. W. F. Davies, Winnetka 293. Reduced Price for N. U. Games Stops This Week Sad news for the youngsters of the north shore!
