AN EMPORIUM OF ART
is COLBY q ROLLS BEAUTIFUL STORE
Where the Worker and the Lover Of Art May
Find All That They
Desire.

Birmingham not only deservedly en-
joys the distinction of having the largest
and most earnest interest in all matters
pertaining to art. but IT also supports
the most extensive and creditable art
store in the state. The firm of Colby &
Roll have an elegant store, occupying
the handsome four-story building at No.
2023 First avenue. Their place is always
SO attractive with its liberal display of
beautiful pictures that few pass 1t by
without admiring their display.
BY their watchful care in always en-
deayorng to have everything that may
be needed in any branch of art work. and
by their courteous and fair treatment of
customers, they have acquired large
share of the trade in this line in this
city.
They issue a very complete Illustrated
catalogue of art materials, which they
mail to anyone desiring it, and they have
built up large and constantly growing
mail order trade all over this and adj
Joining states. They keep q well selected
stock of pictures of all kinds, etchings,
photographers, water colors, fac SMILES
of fine pictures, ETC., and one thing that
is particularly noticeable is the taste with
which all of their pictures are framed.
Their framing business is very impor-
tant feature. They carry nearly 300 diff
ferent patterns of mouldings, and one is
always sure of finding the newest and
most artistic things in picture frames
here, and of having them made in a
perfect, workmanlike manner.
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-05-17

ton from the very fountain head of art.
Their earliest creations were of Biblical
subjects, for their minds were filled with
visions of saints and angels They
studied drawing for a time in Germany,
and on their return to America to their
home in Pennington, Ct, began in earn
est the cultivation of their most remark
able gifts. Later on they entered the
Yale art school in New Haven and then
spent a winter in New York city paint
ing in the studio of Hart The year fol-
lowing the family decided to come south
for the benefit of the climate, and Bir-
mingham was chosen as their place of
residence. Two or three years were
spent here in the home they built ON the
South Highlands, and to the influence of
these two young artists is due much of
the inspiration that has originated and
carried the league to its present proper
tions. In their studio they laid the
groundwork for some of the best pupils
of the league, drilling them in their in
itial steps in the most thorough and con-
scientious manner and leaving a little
set of earnest students, who have steadi-
ly progressed from that point.
In 1892 the Cowles family returned to
the north, spending a winter in Boston,
where the four girls continued their
studies and later removing to their
beautiful old home in Pennington. The
past winter has been spent in New Ha-
ven, where the two eldest have opened
their studio and commenced their ca
reer as full fledged artists. For year
they have been illustrating for the best

Choral and oratorio department:
Mrs. Benjamin neutrality-suspicious..
Mr. Emil Weigand-Violin, theory and
composition classes.
Miss Orline Lowery Arnold-Depart-
ment of elocution and oratory.
Mr.. and Mrs. Guckenberger taught from
1888 to 1895 in the Cincinnati College of
Music, and so did Mr.. Weigand. Miss
Arnold is a graduate of the best elocu-
ton schools of Boston and has success
fully taught several years at the East
Lake Atheneum.
Mr.. Guekenberger pursued a course of
studies at the Scharwenka Conservatory
of Music in Berlin, Germany. He studied
the piano with Xayer Scharwenka and
composition and score reading with Philip
Scharwenka. Conducting he learned I'M
der Gustave Kogel, conductor of the Ber-
lin Philharmonic orchestra, and George
Henschel of London.
Mrs. Guckenberger studied with George
Henschel of London and Adolf Schulze
and Madame de Padilla, court singer of
the great Emperor William of Germany,
at Berlin.
The commencement exercises of the
Conservatory of Music will occupy the
whole of the third week of June, from the
18th to the goth, inclusive, when every one
of the pupils will appear at the afternoon
recitals, commencing at p. m.
The final commencement exercises and
closing of the term will take place at
OBrien's opera house on the 18th of June,
when certificates and diplomas will be
awarded.
The conservatory then enters upon its
summer term, beginning June | and ex-
tending through the months of June, July
and August, and this session, coming as 1t
does in the heated season, will still be the
largest and most prosperous of the insti-
tution's life. as it is gaining popularity
and strength with every day.
The people comprising the faculty OF
this great musical school academy are
we'll pleased with their new southern
home, and have met with deserved en-
enlargement here, and in turn have en-
deared themselves, by the force of real
merit, with all good citizens and the mu-
sic loving public, which is almost the total
population, in particular.
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-05-17

istics of the Gothic are it's essentially
pointed or vertical tendency, its geo.
metrica1 details, its window tracings, It's
opening, it's cluster of shafts and bases.
the universal absence of the dome and
the substitution of the pointed for the
round arch. ~.
The most important feature in art his
tory between the thirteenth and six
teenth centuries Is the rise and spread of
Gothic cathedral architecture. The style
was invented in France (the leading ma
ton Of Europe in the latter middle ages)
and was supplanted after the sixteenth
century by the renaissance. But the in
terest has been revived in the present
century on account of the revived inter-
est in the middle ages at large, the gen.
eral prosperity, the growth of cities and
their spirit of rivalry. To understand
this it is necessary to study thoroughly
the political and social history of the
times. You will find, too, that the Gothic
cathedrals are glorious monuments to
the people of the middle ages. They
built them and fashioned into them their
thoughts and aspirations, and by the
perfection of their execution they will IL
lustrate. the civilization of that period.
Sufficient praise can never be given
to the clergy, who were its men of
science, its teachers, statesmen and ad-
visers, the guardians Of the literature
of the past and of the present, men whose
influence for good in every way can never
be estimated.

IDEAL SOUTHERN PICTURE.
Birmingham Artists Produce Picture Which
Will Lead TO Fame and Fortune.

The long dreamed of southern picture
by southern artists! And Birmingham
artists produce it!
There has long been desire among
southern art lovers for genuine, repre-
sentative picture of active southern life,
depicting by mastery stroke the latent
energy and genius which have 30 long
lain dormant, which fact has led
strangers to southern character to the
conclusion that the south is devoid of
genius of the higher order. Indeed, there
have been frequent attempts In this
: line by southerners and even few
strangers, but each effort shows un-
mistakable signs of still life, being en-
tirely lacking in rsoul," and In conse-
quence have proven failures
The rare Jewels of genius which have
lain covered for more than a hundred
years by the peculiar civilization of our
section are yet to be developed and to
shine in splendor. A modern northern
writer of note has said: ITO the south
we are to look not only for the repre-
sentative of American manhood and
womanhood, but also for our ideal BUSH
ness men,"
In Birmingham today is presented a
great picture by southern talent, which
is to make her famous. 1t Is a picture of
active, enterprising life, peculiarly south
ern, by southern artists, and Is repre-
scented by the great department stores
of Drenpen & Co. This great house dur
ing business hours presents picture of
business activity never before seen in
Birmingham.
While 1t is in the midst of the '.dull
season. with the old-styled, high-priced.
single-line concerns, the great business
of Drennen & Co. is increasing each
month. This shows that the department
store system is supplying a "long felt
want" Owing to the unheard of low
prices quoted on all goods in the retail
departments, which are on the first
floors, a good many good people have
the idea that Drennen & Co. sell exclu-
sively at wholesale. This Is not the fact.
All goods on the first floors are for sale
at retail while the wholesale depart
ments are on the second floor. They
