NEW ART GALLERY
OPENED BY POPE AT VATICAN. (United Press Association —3y Electrir Telegraph—Copyright.) ROME, Oct. 28. The Pope, in opening the new Vatican Art Gallery, severely criticised the “so-cniled modern art,” which, he said, is merely a caricature of profane and ’.sacred things. Some people defended modern art by saying that it represented a search for something new, whereas it only revealed an incapacity or an unwillingness to learn. He added: “We wish such art- to he excluded from our Churches. Nothin o- should distract the attention of the faithful in the name of mistaken art.”
