Case Reinstated

Upon representation made to Judge Thomas G. Jones that failure of the complaintants to make proper replication was due to inadvertence, the case of the American Automatic Switch company vs the Shepherd Automatic Switch com pany has been reinstated on the docket and will come before the United States court at an early moment. Attorneys for the American company, a Birmingham corporation, appeared before Judge Jones today and explained the apparent dismiss sal of the case from their thought.

In order to secure the safe transit of
the painting from Piacenza to Dresden q
copy was made and hung in its place
over the altar. where it may be seen to-
day. The lights Of the chancel were al
tered so that a heavy shadow was made
to fall upon 1t. and thus the chances Of
detection were diminished.
The agents Of the king then caused a
landscape to be painted in dhstemper over
the original canvas. which was easily
washed of after it reached Dresden. For
dozen years or more the Madonna hung
in the bed chamber OF the king and was
not missed from the monastery.
1t was hung in the gallery In 1861, two
years after the death of Friedrich August
II, without demonstration or advertising,
and was not identified as the original for
many years. Indeed, the Benedictine
monks at Piacenza even today insist, and
the original and look with contempt upon
the sacred canvas at Dresden as copy.
Correggio's Holy Night.
Another Dresden picture which vas
voted for as among the five greatest
masterpieces is Correggio's Holy Night"
representing the child Jesus IN the
manger adored by the shepherds, which
is accepted as the most perfect example
Of what artists call chiaroscuro in exist
ence.
Correggio's real name was Antonio AL

legri. He was born and reared in the
little town Of Reggie. not far from Parma,
in northern Italy, and for that reason
received the title by which he is best
known. ,
He painted this picture i'll 1922, as an
altar piece for the chapel in his native
town. In which he was baptized and con-
fir1ned. 1t was a gift to the parish, and
for more than a hundred years it was
adoredc by the, peasants among whom he
was born, and was pointed out to the lit
tie children as illustrating the story of
Christmas.
BY some means it passed into the gal
lery of the Duke of Modena. Nearly two
hundred. years after 1t was painted, in
1746, the same Friedrich August II who

Guido's Ecce Homo.

Several other pictures in the Dresden
gallery are familiar to every one. Pho
tographs and engravings Of them hang
In millions OF homes. A copy .tof the
'Ecce Homo of Guido REM, that noble
head Of Christ wearing a crown Of thorns
hangs in almost every Roman Catholic
church in the world, and in many Protes-
tant homes and churches.
It is generally accepted as the nearest
ideal that has ever been conceived of the
face Of the Redeemer as He hung upon
the cross.
The st. Cecelia-the beautiful woman al
the organ-of Carlo Dolci and Rubens
est. Jerome are equally familiar. Vls-
itors to the Dresden gallery are always a
little surprised to discover that these ia
nous paintings are SO small. AL of them
are less than life size.
Other famous and familiar paintings,
and they are small, too, are Titan S
Tribute Money" representing Chris,
with a coin in his hand saying: Render
unto Caesar the things that are Caesars
and unto God the things that are Gods. .
This is considered the best Of all the
small works of Titan. --, 81;
His genius was never shown to a higher
degree in any Of his larger works. The
contrast between the majestic dignity of
Christ and the low cunning of the Phari-
see mas been the theme or critics during
all the centuries since it was painted In
1914.
Titan was then ninety-four years old.
You will remember that he was still max
ing pictures when he was ninety-nine.
Although he died that year, it was not
from weakness or from age, but from, q
plague which swept away half the popula-
ton of Venice. s-@- - s-.,t, = T. r
Another Of Titian's most famous works,

Van Dycks children of Charles Ia
which hangs in the Dresden gallery, was
copied by that master seventeen times.
The different copies are scattered all over
Europe. Rembrandt's Portrait of an Old

Of his best works.
Among the modern paintings in the
Dresden gallery are MunkacSy's 'Cruci-
fixion,'' which was exhibited in the
United States few years ago, and Hoff-

| BY WILLIAM IT, CURTIS.
| Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
The most valuable asset of Dresden is
the picture gallery, which contains
| collection of works of the great masters
SURPRISING all others except that of the
Louvre in Paris and the Uffizzi-Pitti
| gallery in Florence.
1t has been the browning glory of Ores
den for several centuries. Its subjects
have been chosen with love in many
cases. But palaces have been looted,
affairs have been robbed and private gal
leries have been confiscated from time to
time during the six centuries since the
gallery was begun.
Every year the profits that are left
from the admission fees. and the receipts
from the Dresden Academy exhibition,
have been devoted to the purchase of
notable paintings both ancient and mod
ern. The Saxon Iandtag makes all APP
propriation every year for this purpose
also.
Thus the gallery of old masters. which
contains 2.24O pictures today, mas peen
supplemented by collection OF $50 paint
ings by artists of the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. representing the best
examples Of the French. English, Amerl-
can, Dutch. Scandinavian. Hungarian and
Russian schools, as we'll as the native
German artists.
Art Lovers for Centuries.
For six centuries the Saxon rulers
have been lovers of art, and have col
lected such gems as they could reach for
love or money, or by force. Their palaces
were adorned with paintings and sculp-
ture, carvings and fantastic works Of
genius. which sare now assembled in the
Green Vault, that l wrote you about
yesterday.
But it was not until the reign of An-
gust 1.-The Strong beginning in 1854,
tnat the collection was assembled In a
single gallery. Since then it has been
increased little by little annually, and
has proven to be the wisest and the most
profitable investment in all Saxony.
The annual receipts at the door nave
been sufficient to maintain the institution
and provide q generous purchasing fund.
Hotels and merchants restaurant keepers
and hacknen, railway and street car
companies boarding house keepers, school
teachers. art and music schools. churches,
laundresses and everybody else In ORES
den have derived pecuniary advantage
from the hundreds Of thousands VINO

! heard two American business men
making calculations the other day as to
the revenue which this gallery yelos
every year. The total amounts up into
the millions of dollars. 1t is difficult to
estimate the value of the pictures, but
it was their opinion that the gallery paid
a hundred per cent cash dividend at the
least calculation, without considering Its
even greater value from an educational
and esthetic point Of view.
