W h i t n o y Unliliard lias re sided in (Ireenport since his collepre years, .'ind is a member of tlie fac ulty of the Snffolk Conservatory of IMusic and ArU, wherti liis p a i n t ings are featured along with the works of other noted artists at Kiverheud’s anniial mirl-winter art exhibit each year, including those of Caroline liell, Virginia Wood Stoddard, M a r g a ret Hawkins, Melita Bliime and Julia Wickham. * * Now Greenport boasts of a mid- fiiimmer a r t exhibit where Whitney H u b b a r d ’s collection of landscape and marine paintings are on ex hibition and where outdoor classes are being formed that will include the names of m a n y young artists of the sum m e r colony who will avail themselves of the opportunity to study under the direction of a famous artist. Whitney Hubbard’s exhibit occupies an entire store room In the A. H a r r y Brown busi ness building on South Main street n e a r the Shelter Island docks and within a stone’s throw of the piers where the yachts of famous men are anchored. Strange enough It’s the big shots from the big yachts a n d the noted professional men of the sum m e r colony who ferry back an d forth from Shelter Island and the Ham p tons who get the biugest kick out of a Whitney Hubbfird creation, and as a rule select a pic ture th a t truly depicts some fa miliar spot they have seen and a d mired along nature's shore lines a n d pathw a y s of Eastern Suffolk and Peconic Bay. * • * W h it n e y Hubbard developed his natu r a l talent for painting during his college days in Connecticut. Some of his finest works are those of autum n and snow scenes of the Connecticut hills. During his col lege days he summered in Green port—it was then he decldec^ to locate and paint the never tiring panoram a of both Sound and Bay.- T h e majority of the paintings now being shown a t his mid-summ e r a r t exhibit are scenes particularly fam i l i a r to vacationists who are privileged to cruise the waters and view the picturesque spots along the shores. Little wonder that the sum m e r visitors are eager to cap ture a pleasant memory of these shores which Mr. Hubbard has so truly depicted on canvas. • ♦ • Whitney H u b b a r d Is not only a great artist but a sort of a Mark Tw a i n humorist and has a keen interest and understanding of ;ill people. In one of my recent chats with him he mentioned some in cident relating to the many oeleb- rltles who have visited Greeni)ort from time to time, including Lester Wallack, David Helasco, Jam e s A.

Corse Payton boasted th a t he was “the best bad actor in America”— whether he was the best bad actor or the near best bad actor has never been determined, for the rea son that all theatres where he a p peared were not big enough to a c commodate his followers. • * • W h it n e y Hubbard recalled that just before .<the performance of \Over the Hills to the Poor House” Corse Payton demanded a frame(^ picture with “snow on it” to use in the play. Frank \Zlnky” H a r t ley, bill poster, scene shifter, ticket taker and property man at the old opera house, rushed to W h it n e y H u b b a r d ’s studio to'borrow a pic ture with snow on it. Artist H u b bard had one and would loan it, but he considered his Connecticut hills snow pictures of considerable value, and he assured Zinky H a r t ley that he would take the picture to Mr. Payton. When Artist H u b bard offered the picture to ‘‘Ameri ca’s best bad actor,” he scribbled a pass on the back of a hand bill, at the same time saying; “Go out front and see the show—If the pic ture is damaged I’ll pay for It.” Whitney Hubbard did not accept the pass out front, but watched the show from the stage—he was Complete the Second Year of Married Life fSob .says it's essential To rnaj-ry for hapfiiness’ sakf> Take yoiirspll' a little wife liiit be careful who.se you take. * * « Hob loves to hear C.
