STOLEN ART TALK
IS PURE NONSENSE
F. B. Mcclure
Everything in Corcoran Gal
lery Was Bought of Repu-
table Persons.

Frederick 3. MCGUIRE. director OF the
Corcorsa Art Gallery, when asked for
his opinion on the assertion Of Sir
Purdon Clarke that one-half the art
treasures now In galleries and museums
had at one time been come by dishon-
estly. said that such a remark was
wholly without foundation and pure
nonsense. He asserted that the treas
ures gotten from churches had been
sold only by those who were vested with
authority TO do 50.
He mentioned the fact that there are
a number Of fake art dealers in Paris
who viii buy art works with the full
knowledge that they have been stolen.
but that, IN the main, art dealers are
reputable business men who guard their
business integrity with great jealous
ness That there Is any possibility Of a
single work In the Corcoran Art Gallery
being stolen Mr.. MCGUIRE was emphatic
in denying.
practically everything we have was
purchased direct from the artist, and
what was not secured in this way was
bought only from reputable dealers. I
