SCULPTURE GALLERY.

NEEDED IN LONDON.

IDEA ACCLAIMED BY ARTISTS. Sir William Llewellyn, President of the Royal Academy, \vtib is a painter, spoke of -the need for a permanent gallery in London for the display of sculpture when declaring open the Charles Sargeant Jagger Memorial Exhibition in Pall Mall East, London. He urged the sculptural profession to take some energetio action In finding a good place , for such a purpose. The members of the sculptural profession agree wholeheartedly. Here are some opinions .expressed:— Sir William Reid Rick, R.A., President of the Royal Society of British Sculptors, creator of the Kitchener Chapel in St. Paul's Cathedral and of the Lion on the Menin Gate at Ypres: —“ It would toe a most excellent thing. We do need such a gallery badly. At present sculptors get no proper opportunity of showing their works. “Of course, the ideal would be for suitable accommodation at the Royal Academy. The Sculpture 'Hall there is most inadequate. Sufficient room in the building could probably be found.”

Mr Frank Dobson, a leading expon-

ent of the advanced style: “It is a most urgent necessity. We soulptors all long for a hall where we could be judged fairly and squarely. At present the situation is chaotic, because of the lack of a suitable gallery.”
