FEW ARMY OFFICERS. LORD TAVAN ON MAIN CAUSE
The Prince of Wales was the principal guest at the apaizal banquet of the Royal Academy of Arts recently.
In responding to the toast of the Royal Family, he said that last year he made some tentative suggestions about the art of the hoardings in our great towns. A quite unexpected result of this was that a lot of people seemed to suspect him of wanting to cover, the whole of nur countryside with placards." Thit, lie said, was the very reverse of what ho intended to convey. · Nobody deplored such blots on the landscape as unsightly hoardings more sincerely than he did, and he was very glad to congratulate heartily on the success of their efforts those public-spirited people who were trying to get them removed. Continuing. he said: Everybody who has been to Wembley will admit that among all the splendid features there, none is af, mare abiding importance than the Palace of Arts, and none make a more varied að- peat. Above all, it is, the first show of British art of a truly Imperial nature.
