Des expositions d'ensemble, des œuvres de Ch. Lacoste, de Ludovic Vallée, de Kousnetzoff, Nicolas Gropeano, Dusouchet, André Favory, demanderaient chacune un long commentaire. Il en est de même pour la sculpture, dominée par les géniales créations de Rodin pour son Balzac. Lamourdedieu est représenté dans ses meilleures œuvres, depuis le buste de Maximilien Luce jusqu'au torse d'athlète. De passionnantes œuvres de Despiau et de Wlérick, des bustes, fruits d'une étude serrée par Mme Jossette Hérbert-Coëffin, des envois de MM. Quillivic, Farama et de Mlle Cornelia Chapin retiennent surtout l'attention. Les sculpteurs Lemar, Proffillet et Mateo Hernandez présentent des animaux très stylisés et d'une belle tenue. La Vénus debout de Kretz a de jolies proportions. Les envois de Ch. Malfray ne sont pas sans intérêt, surtout son Printemps. On remarque les œuvres de Pablo Maire, pleines de force, comme le Torse de rameur, et de grâce comme la Jeunesse. Voici encore les bustes de Pryas et de Denise Risterucci.

An Elaborate Plan for Riverdale - Inside the Block.

By GUSTAVE ZISMER

The Building Department in the Bronx has been kept busy in recent weeks receiving plans for new apartment buildings to be constructed in the attractive Riverdale section along the Hudson River and is receiving more.

Plans have just been filed by the West Side building firm of A. C. & H. M. Hall for the construction of an eight-story garden apartment house on three and a half acres formerly owned by the late Henry A. Kroger at the southeast corner of 231st street and Palisade avenue. The property was bought only recently through the real estate firm of John J. Reynolds. The Halls have been prominent in the plans for new Riverdale buildings.

It's going to be elaborate-this new apartment house. There are to be 766 rooms with four penthouse "cottages," tennis courts, playgrounds and a garage for each tenant. It is the plan to make provision for a swimming pool. The architectural firm of Boak & Paris designed the layout and filed the plans yesterday. Cost of building and land is estimated at $1,250,000 by Broker Reynolds.

All this is interesting and a reflection of the attention which Riverdale has drawn in recent months. Architects have during the last year or so visualized the development of the suburban apartment house into a self-contained entity, providing in large measure for the recreational desires of its people. But, like the weather, nothing very much has ever been done about it. Only in isolated cases has an approach been made to such a plan.

One can see, of course, that such a design for living would be a logical evolution. Up at Ardsley-on-Hudson, overlooking the river, is Hudson House, probably the finest apartment house in the suburban area, with acres of trees, lawns and pleasant walks, and with the Ardsley Club virtually across the way, providing golf, tennis and swimming for its membership. Over in Brooklyn are the Flagg Apartment (Bay Ridge), with a large swimming pool. Right here in the lower Manhattan is London Terrace, with a much-used swimming pool. It will be interesting to see how the new idea is worked out in Riverdale.

At the offices of Boak & Paris, the architects, who designed the proposed new apartment house, it was pointed out that the so-called penthouse cottages will be from six to seven rooms in size and will have a good deal of fine seclusion, as well as a sweeping view. Most of the regular suites are to be four, five and six rooms in size, with open terraces. Demolition of the old Kroger House will begin in January. Such is the word.

An Interesting House

New York abounds in oddities. Here is one that deals with the sale of a house. Between the four-story buildings at 164-166 East Thirty-sixth street, near Third avenue, is a passage nine feet wide leading to a studio building that was put up years ago behind the other buildings. The studio building is owned-was owned-by Edward Trumbull, the mural artist, who created murals for the Chrysler and Graybar buildings in New York, other buildings in other parts of the country and who in 1932 was chosen to act as "color director" at Rockefeller Center, the idea being to harmonize the extensive color effects planned.

The studio building measures 54 x 40 and Mr. Trumbull has just sold it to Miss Cornelia Van Auken Chapin of the Hotel Carlyle on East Seventy-sixth street. The deed recorded at the Register's office indicates a consideration of $16,000 over a mortgage of the same amount. The property has an assessed valuation of $30,000, of which $2,000 is on the building. Miss Chapin couldn't be reached yesterday. For good reason. She was about to sail for this country on the Queen Mary from Europe. It is a coincidence that toward the Lexington avenue side of this block there is another inner building. You'll look a long way in1 Manhattan before you'll find many other useful buildings occupying land in the center of a block.
