NOTES.
The October exhibition of original drawings by Walt Disney for the Mickey Mouse animated cartoons and the Silly Symphonies, created considerable popular interest, as expected.  The newspapers publicized the show to an unusual extent, daily Gallery attendance increased, and over 1000 persons crowded into Gallery II on the evening of October 20th, to hear Mr. Washburn's illustrated lectures.  The Disney-Mickey Mouse exhibition, which is circulated by the College Art Association, will also be shown this season at The Art Institute of Chicago, the Currier Gallery of Art, The Milwaukee Art Institute, the Cincinnati Art Museum, Smith College, The Art Gallery of Toronto, and the Toledo Museum of Art.

Through the courtesy of Denton, Cottier and Daniels, a radio has been loaned to the Albright Art Gallery to bring the music of the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra to Sunday Gallery visitors.  These concerts take place from three to five o'clock.

The Albright Art Gallery will be open on Friday evenings from 7:30 to 10 P. M.  This decision has been made in order to make the Gallery of greater service, and more available to workers and students who are occupied during the day.  The reference library will be open, and all the exhibitions will be on view.
