AMERICAN ART DISPLAYED
enty- five Pieces Range from
Figurines to Bookmarks.

To bring the American public and the
American artist together is the purpose
OF an exhibition Of bronzes now to be
seen In an upper room at the establish
ment OF the Gorham Company. Fifth ave-
nue. and 36th street.
ThIrty-two artists every one an Ameri-
can. are represented in this collection OF
seventy-hve pieces, and the pieces are not
reproductions. neither are they reductions
from lfe-size pieces; they are modelled
from living figures, but done in a scale
that makes It possible for the art lover
to take them TO his home, live-with them
in his drawing-room, without feeling that
he has turned his home into a sculpture
gallery.
It's hard to single out what one likes
best when every one OF the seventv-itye
things are so good TO look at
But there are two figures there, an
Ethiopian" and Hercules" which arc
exceptionally satisfying in their splendid
truth. AS w Frank Purdy, who has
charge OF the collection. says. they leave
nothing to the Imagination" These and
a lovely "Aphrodite" are the work OF a
young man, Arthur Lee. The Hercules,
which Is perhaps two feet high, Is not In
bronze, but In plaster, but Mr.. Purdy
couldn't find it in his heart to exclude 1t,
II is so good.
More poetical In its conception Is "Dy-
Ing Melodies" bronze group by Isadore
Konti. A lover has been piping to his
beloved, TIL now. drunk with sweet
sounds, he leans against her. while she,
sitting, bends her head above him.
A decided novelty is an Atlas" done
by c. c. Rumsey. 1t was made for a
man-hls name Is Thorne. and he lives
on Long Island-who Is an enthusiast.
Naturally, he is always wanting to know
which way the wind blows.
A wire will connect this Atlas" with a
weather vane on the roof-a wire run
ming up through the wall. AS the wind
veers the Atlas" will tell the tale.
Another figure by Mr.. Rumsey-a large
one. this--is The Fountain" 1t was ex-
ecuted for Mrs Harry Payne Whitney,
the bowed figure of a man dipping up
water with a shell, and 1t is to stand in a
pool of water on Mrs. Whitney's place.
This also is not bronze. but marble.
Turning from the larger figures. one
sees the most fascinating small things
paper weights for ones desk, showing
two puppies frolicking together or a dog
chasing q fleeing rabbit. Then there are
book racks-hgures of women holding the
books upright.
The exhibition will last until Novem-

Problem She Had Solved.

Hewlett, Long Island. Nov. 1S-After
acting sixty-one years as nurse for the
Campbell family, wealthy residents Of
this place, Elizabeth Doran. seventy -five
years old, was suddenly taken Ill last
night, and died few hours later.
At the age OF fourteen years she be-
came nurse for the children of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Campbell, in Manhattan.
She lived 20 see all the children grow up.
The Campbell home at that time was at
No. Madison avenue, where the Metro
politan Tower now stands. Miss F. NJ.
Campbell was born there, and attended
by Elizabeth Doran. Five years ago the

There was no reason why trouble should
arise between the mistress Of the house
and the servant, this veteran Of domestic
service always said. Both were at fault
I'm most cases. she declared IL each
would give in a little at the time when
trouble was arising matters would be set
tied at once.

IRVING PLACE THEATRE.
"Narrentanz.'

Director Baumfeld Of the Irving Place
Theatre exhibited hts enterprise as

and is now being played In all the lead
ing cities Of Germany. 1t deals WIFI
revolutionary movement in Russia and In
80 far as 1t confines itself to that move
ment Il is fresh, striking and even Drill
liant. The second act. which satirizes the
weaknesses of the revolutionary agita'
ton, is highly effective. because its humoi
has the earmarks of truth and Is ungeo
effectively with seriousness and pathos
This act is good enough to carry any
piece.
The first and third acts. which satir'

The fun in them often borders on the
over extravaganza of burlesque. On the

THE RED PETT|COAT'
New Musical Comedy Offered at
Days Theatre.
HELEN LOWELL LEADS
Clever Coincidence Wins Ad-
miration Again in Char
acter" Work.

One OF the rarest sights on the stage in
New York is woman who can act broad
farce. or who can do any OF the work that
is called character acting. Women are
the subject of most plays. Their part in
them, however is to play the bone Of con-
tention. Their role is to dress well and
relax. They can then be banded about
without injury.
This Is no way to begin a review OF
THE Red Petticoat," a musical farce
which was offered at Days last night
because farces are not meant 10 call forth
serious comment. However, Helen. Lowell
had the leading part, and her rendering
of a low comedy role tempts the specta-
tor who laughs at her humor to take her
acting seriously. 1t must be discouraging
to be character" actress in this coun-
try. There are not even as many leading
roles written for them as there are LOT
contraltos in grand opera. 1t IS nara 10
know why this should be. The pubic
seems to enjoy a funny woman, though
few audiences have chance to see them
outside Of vaudeville. Most women far-
ceurs are driven to the two day" for a
hearing.
Helen Lowell did a great deal with
very slim opportunity last night. She was
a comic woman barber in "hurrah-boys
Western mining camp. 1t was one Oh
those camps where the men all dress in
correct khaki outing suits, speak IN
growls and walk regardless SOPHIE
Brush, lank, bony and with stencilIed
curls on her brow, her hair stretched
back and whirled into knob on the rear
bulge OF her head, enters the camp amid
jeers and remains to be its Bunty. Be-
fore a week is past she has the boys
all shaved, manicured and drilled into a
| polite bodyguard. The possibilities for a
woman barber seem to be good In the
| West.
| Among other incidents of the evening
was the discovery Of new Juvenile. Don
aid Macdonald. who sang, danced and
smiled the part OF Brick oldham. Mr..
Macdonald is a lad with both grace and
go" and no doubt he has future ahead
OF him in musical comedy.
| The play is a librettoed. lyricized must
citation Of Rida Johnson Young's comedy
| Next" which saw the light for a time
I'm New York last year. The first two
operations were performed by Mrs. Young
and Paul West. and the music was sup
| piled by Jerome d. Kern. In the last act
| there was a very pretty feature. Miss
| Lowell. who up TO that time had used all
her ingenuity to present herself az an artis-
| tic fright, came out suddenly all prettled
up IN a before-the-war costume, wearing
! hoopsk!rts. frizzes and an old-fashioned
| bonnet. followed by eight lassies ar
rayed In dresses Of the same period. Miss
Lowell sang in an agreeably moderate key
the first subdued note Of the evening"
song called "Since the Days OF Grand
mama" II was quite the best thing in
| tho play
On the whole, Miss Lowell, even as a
! barber, is worth seeing.

most Of the lyrics are the work OF 8. NJ.

The show will be given at the Hotel
Aston early in March. and after a weeks
run win go on tour with stopovers at
Pittsburgh, Washington. Philadelphia and
probably Atlantic City.
The play Is a typical college comedy
plot and follows the experience of four
American college students who are do
ing Europe and discover a new princi-
pality in Alklanberg. Interpolated songs
by various Columbia students make up
the score.
