His Honor, the Lieutenant-Goverpor declared the bullding open, and the Mendels- sohn choir gave some splendid musie. But it was not only the ceremony of opening that drew Toronto thous- ands to the gallery. On Sunday after- noon the writer, arriving on a pack~ ed car with some Toronto newspaper women, was surprised to find the car stopping in the middle of the block and the conductor calling out "Art Gallery." Everyone in the car was apparently getting off here, and long lines of motors were parked along the grounds, In the great rooms a wonderful treat awaited the people who eagerly sought to view the pictures. The new West Gallery and West Rotunda bave been given by Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Fudger in memory of their som, Richard Barry Fudger, in the East Rotunda fs a splendid collection, in- cluding a Gainsborough and a Sie Joshua Reynolds, presented to the gallery by Mr. and Mrs. Herbert C. Cox. In the south corridor over- looking the great court, later to be used for sculpture, is a picture of the late Bir Edmund Walker; the first president of the Art Gallery of Toronto, In the throng that passed in orderly fashion through the rooms were men, women and children of every class. Canadians in the mak- ing from "The Ward," who still spoke in the language of the land of their birth, business men who had snatched an hour of their only holi- day to steep themselves in the beauty of the great works of art, girls from shops and offices and college, fathers and mothers with their children, hundreds of young men from offices and fiom the many Toronto colleges, all there, as one could see by thelr comments, their earnest faces and their appreciation of the best in art, for the sole' purpose of enjoying this gallery that was thelr own. The crowd in front of some of the pie- tures was so dense that ome had to wait one's turn to see the number. The wonderful eyes of "The Stand- ard Bearer," a Rembrandt; lent by Sir Joseph Duveen, drew the people with magnetic power, and when they came closer they saw the marvellous painting of the flesh and of the gold embraidery. But while the old 'masters' great work held the people, the Canadian artists have pictures as compelling in their own way The late Daniel Fow- ler, R.C,A., who for many years lv- ed on Amherst Island, where, com. Ing from England with his young family, he built a lovely home in a secluded spot beside 'the waters of the lake where he could paint to, his hearts content, has painted pictures that are unquestionably among the best of the Canadian artists exhibits. "Sea Duck," loaned by C. W. Irwin, is a marvellous piece of work and ten more pictures by the same brush were much admired. Paul Peel, R.C.A., has some beautiful pictures, among them 'Mother's Help" with exquisite flesh tomes. At the end of gme of the rooms is a great picture, where a little crowd always gathered, "The Walker In the Snow" by W. Blair Bruce. As one looks at the cold blue of the winter night, the deeper blue of the shadows of the curled drifts, the crouching terrifigd figure of the lost traveller, who comme ing up on his own foot prints, re- alizes he is lost and sees the trans: parent figure of the dread walker whose ghostly moccasined feet make no mark on the untrodden snow and whom no man can see had live, the warm lighted room fades away and a chill tells one that the artists won. derful realism has told the story without the vérse that recalls the legend. A picture, that was eagerly sought, Wiis 'The Canadian Soldier" by Augustus John, sketched in the Canadian Arras sector in 1917, with Gordon McGregor, of Owen Sound, as the model chosen as a typledl Cana- dian soldier, the picture'is remint scent of the Great War and Canada's part in ft, It has been loaned from he National Gallery at Ottawa for the ocoasion.
