The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1898-09-08

Munich, and all are worth careful IN
spection One is of a man lying as II
just slain. 1t is on the heroic oroeI'
but the position is strikingly natural
the whole being a fine study IN the
nude This picture has been placed
near the post of honor. There are sew
eral other pieces by Greenebaum IN
the same vicinity, and all will be stud
led, for they are suggestive Of good
work.
A rustic bridge in a high altitude,
with fine atmospheric effects and rlcn
autumn tints (3S, attests that R. D.
Yelland can make a painting that Will
arrest the eye and make one feel that
he is within the refreshing shadows OF
a wooded mountain. The same artist
has a beautiful marine effect, called
Monterey Shores" This is all supe-
rior work
There is much that is pleasing in the
soft tuoches of H. r. Boomer as seen
in several landscapes, particularly one
that shows some sheep well to the
foreground-a sort of rural dream
caught by the artist in a bit Of charm
ing landscape at about the hour one
would expect the "Angelus."
From Los Angeles it is refreshing to
see some of the clever work Of H.
Hutchcraft Hill. 1t is a fine marine
sunset paris No. 1852, and the color
ing is so soft that one might think he
were catching a peep at the ocean
through a window at sunset. There is
something Of the kind that Joaquin
Miller would call "the deep blue and
the blue deep" Of the OCEAN about the
water Of this painting, while the sun
light away yonder in the horizon is like
a crimson river between sea and sky,
melting into the caverns of the west
as gently as the falling Of leaf into
a river.
The washes of Cucuel are the most
striking of the class that have been
seen in many a day. He was formerly
in newspaper work in San Francisco,
where he got a dash of life in his ap-
premiership. He has gone to Paris,
and is now idealizing his work to fine
advantage. One study that might be
called "a Lovers Quarrel"-two bicy-
clists, with pouted glances from the
one, and touch of anger in the feat
ures Of the other-will be sure to be
viewed with delight.
r. L. Darlington, the well-known
pen and-ink artist has a fine exhibit
ton. One, an old soldier, sitting. is
done with great softness and delicacy,
creating establishment that such fine
effects could be obtained in black and
white.
The Oakland exhibit is good, but of
this more will be said later. There is
a preponderance Of still lights in this
part Of the hangings, all Of which show
considerable skill in drawing and color.
There will doubtless be a large at
tendance at the Pavilion tonight and
throughout the week The musical
program last night was excellent. and
the artists under Professor Neale's
leadership were loudly applauded for
their renditions.
Tonight Miss Beth Hamilton of Oak
land will dance, also the rest Of this
week and three nights Of next week.
Mrs Walter Longbottom will be
heard in two solos. AS it is her first
appearance since her return from the
East her songs will doubtless cause con-
siderable interest
The O'Malley children did a new
dance last night, which was warmly
encored. So far they have changed
their dances nightly. The specialties
run only fifty minutes, and from that
time on the band plays without inter-
mission.
The cornet playing Of Mr.. Keller and
trombone Of Mr.. Hobbs are exciting
much favorable comment. Tonight
the great musical production. the Bat
tie of Manila will be given, and the
rest Of the program will be:
