Sir John Millais, the successor of Sir
Frederick Leighton as president of the
Royal academy, whose death was re-
corded recently, had more the appear
ance Of a rosy-faced English country
gentleman than of an artist and he
made his real home at his country seat
near Perth, where he devoted much time
to fishing and shooting. His house at
Kensington was more a palace than
home, though his studio in it was
large. bare, unfurnished room. He
gained a prize medal for drawing in his
ninth year, but regretted that he had
been allowed to take up art seriously be-
fore he had had a frst-class education.
Leighton speaks every language under
the SUM- he used to say, while L
well, l shoot, and fish, and play cards"
IN his twentieth year Millais headed the
famous revolt against conventionallty III
art, which became known as the Pre-
Raphaelite brotherhood. He abandoned
their tenets later, however, and his best
work was done between 1860 and 1919.
1t has been said that during the last
twenty years his work has been fit only
to be reprinted IN the Christmas num-
berS of the illustrated papers. His range
of work was tremendous, extending from
the pre-Raphaelite pictures to illustra-
tons Of Thackeray's novels. When he
was p, he was commissioned by John
Ruskin. the art critic. to paint the lat
ters wife. They had been married a
year before, but the union was a purely
platonic one, owing to an infrmity on the
part of tie bridegroom As Millais
worked on her portrait, the painter and
the young wife fell in love. She OBJ
tanned a divorce from her husband, and
in 1854 became Mrs. Millais. There
have been various tales told of the di-
vorce, but it is certain that Queen Vic
tOria, who is very strict in these mat
tiers, has never withdrawn her favor
from the artist, the artists wife or the
critic.

OPERA HOUSE LIGHTED.
Mrs. Irwin Selects Colors for the
Balcony Projections.

BalcOny Projections.
The Opera House was lighted last
night throughout, between the hours
of and 8, for the purpose of allowing
Mrs. W. G.. Irwin a chance TO inspect
and pass judgment upon the colors used
on the ceiling and the balcony projec-
ions of the four boxes. Mrs. Irwin ex-
pressed herself as being very much sat
isfed with the color of the ceiling, al
though by daylight she had thought
this too light. The incandescent cleo
trio lights seemed to produce just the
proper effect, and brought out most sat-
isfactorily the ornamental work.
Each one of the four balcony projec-
tions had been painted different color
so as to give room for a choice. None
of those represented were chosen, but
Mrs. Irwin expressed a wish that they
be painted a kind of golden bronze to
accord with the panels of the theater,
and also that the tips of the plumes be
gilded.
The walls will be painted a light sal
mon color, to accord with the panels.
A walk around the theater disclosed
the all-important fact that from any
point in the building where seats are
placed a good view of the whole stage
can be obtained.
