Sharks Will Hold Hobby Show Tomorrow

The Sharks, one of the best known of the fashionable amateur theatrical groups in this city, are sponsoring a hobby show under the name of "Creation and Recreation" tomorrow and Thursday at 901 Lexington Avenue. The collection of articles assembled by Mrs. Herbert Groesbeck Jr. is representative of every branch of the artistic world, sculpture, painting and literature.
One of the interesting features is the sculpture of Miss Cornelia Van Auken Chapin, who was represented at the thirty-sixth Salon d' Automne at Paris recently by a bear cub executed from life in volcanic rock. Last year Miss Chapin received the Huntington prize for sculpture, and is represented in the current show of the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors that opened its forty-sixth annual exhibition last night at the American Fine Arts Galleries at 215 East Fifty-seventh Street with a preview reception.
Miss Eva T. McAdoo, daughter of the late Justice McAdoo of the Supreme Court, is showing her latest book, "How Do You Like New York," which has just gone into its second edition. Miss McAdoo conducts the "About the City Bureau" at the Waldorf-Astoria. Miss Katherine Garrison Chapin has entered her most recent publication, "Time Casts No Shadow."
There will also be included a surrealist oil by Mrs Beverly Robinson, and works of such well-known artists as Gordon Grant and Albert Sterner
The Sharks have produced a number of plays from manuscripts that have later become Broadway hits, such as "The Warrior Husband," by Julian Thompson, with Katharine Hepburn, and "Why Marry?" 

CORNELIA VAN A. CHAPIN is given credit in the New York Evening Post, January 2 and the New York Herald Tribune, January 3, for having arranged the exhibition of paintings, drawings and fruits by the great Spanish sculptor, Mateo Hernandez, her Master, which was held recently at the Fifteen Gallery, of which MISS CHAPIN is a sculptor member.

Three Generations Represented.
Among the three generations represented at the Kettledrum's annual party is a group that includes Mrs. Howland Davis, her daughter, Mrs. Theodore Steinway, and her little granddaughters, Betty and Lydia Steinway.
I saw Betty Steinway and her mother at the Shark's Exhibit last Thursday afternoon.
"Snarks, Ltd.," according to the folder, is a club of women whose members are interested in the liberal arts with emphasis on the drama.
Thursday's exhibit was devoted to hobbies and held in a vacant apartment at 901 Lexington Ave. It was inspiring to see some of the really fine things the members had done, chiefly for fun. My favorite was a little sleeping pig carved out of stone by Cornelia Van Chapin.
A much more serious exhibit, but appealing to me because of my love for this city, was Eva McAdoo's recent book, "How Do You Like New York?"
