_The Rupert Brooke Memorial_
It has been decided to set up in Rugby Chapel, England, a memorial of
Rupert Brooke in the form of a portrait-medallion in marble. The
medallion will be the work of Professor J. Havard Thomas, and is to be
based on the portrait by Schell. Contributions not exceeding five
dollars may be sent to Maurice Browne, Chicago Treasurer, Rupert Brooke
Memorial Fund, 434 Fine Arts Building, Michigan Avenue, and will be sent
to England without deduction. Money left over after the completion of
the medallion will be given to the Royal Literary Fund. Mr. Browne adds
that the nickels and dimes of those who wish to make their offering, but
cannot afford the larger sum, will be welcomed in the spirit of their
giving; also that he believes there are many admirers of Rupert Brooke
and his work in Chicago who will welcome the opportunity to pay in some
measure their debt to the poet, particularly remembering that this city
stimulated and interested him more than any other in America.
_Jerome Blum’s New Work_
Beginning April 15 Mr. Blum will have a two-weeks’ exhibit of paintings
done on a recent trip through China and Japan, at O’Brien’s Art
Galleries, 334 South Michigan Avenue. At the same time Mrs. Blum will
exhibit some Chinese and Japanese figures—and there is one especially
that we prophesy will be talked of. It is of a weary-eyed Chinese
philosopher, the art of which has been put into words by a painter: “He
has seen everything, so he doesn’t look any more; he has done
everything—so he folds his hands.”
_The Vers Libre Prize Contest_
Two of the judges for our contest have been chosen. They will be Helen
Hoyt and Zoë Akins. The third will be announced in the next issue, and
the contest will be continued until August 15, as it seems wiser not to
close it before it has been fully heralded. All details will be found on
page 40.
“_A Lost Tune_”
Between April 25 and May 7 Mr. Stanislaw Saukalski will give our soft
teeth a chance to crack a hard nut at the Art Institute. The “Lost Tune”
will lead the flaming lava of this young volcano. Will the readers of
THE LITTLE REVIEW send in their impressions of this sculptor’s work? We
may print some of them.—_L. de B._
