Layman Long Has Been
The Despair of Artists.

For time :mniemorial the layInan has
been the despair of the arts. and the
joke of the critic. He may look. but
must not speak. All the love in the
world, all of the faithful admira ton OF
a lifetime will not admit hiEl to the
sacred circle or give him the authority
10 speak 4 word of his own opinion.
But times are changing, AMI critics
and artists are realizing that the nearest
way 10 success and fame is through the
hearts of those for whom they have so
lcng had healthy contempt. In, other
words. they must ccme down to COM
mon sense. cast away Their peculiar art
cant. and talk in a sincere and sensible
wSv about realities. And the layman
has h champion in the person of ROYAL
Ccrtisscz. the art editor Of the New
York Tribune. who has written a de-
liGhtful book called Art and Common
SeESe.'
He gives one the courage to dabble
freely in these matters of art, of which
one as layman is Usually a little timid
fcarsome of ridicule. In his first chap

The Washington times., 1913-12-30

In a very quiet and unpretentious
way, Washington has as faithful and
sincere a following of art lovers as
any place In the world. They are not
the tourists who flock here by the thou
sands, not the. transient population
which stays only throughout the win
ter months, but the rank and file of
folks who live here the year round, lay
men, IL you wish. They do not know
very much about art in technical way.
they are easily frightened of by any
great display of knowledge. and shrink
from the opinions and dictums of the
artist himself, just as readily as they
fly from the voluble explanations of the
real critic.
They are positively free from hypoc-
the proverbial periwinkle. The author
tiles at the Corcoran Art Gallery have
watched them come and go for years,
for their visits are reckoned not by
months, but By weeks and days. Not
all of them, in fact the great majority
their homes are rich in tasteful prints
and good reproductions of favorite mas
terpieces. Nor are they all artists. for
perhaps only handful of them can
even draw. But they appreciate, they
know. and they are not blinded by the
calf worship OF other. peoples opinions.
Bromide Favorite No
Longer the Vogue In Homes.
Contrary to the generally accepted
theory of what Is in the homes Of the
great army called the middle class, who
are rich only in appreciation, very
smalleper cent decorate, their walls with
the bromidic favorites, 'Pharaoh's
Horses" and st Cecilia ut the or
gan surrounded by angels, and "Baby
stuart" and The Last Supper" and
a dozen others.
Besides prints of some of the lesser
known paintings of the masters. they
are familiar with ana are continually
ouyfng copies of Degas, Insres, Sar-
gent, Whistler and a dozen others.
They are fond of Corot and Inness. and
ask for Sorolla's children and prints
from photographs OF the statues Of Ro-
din. The different art galleries of
Washington ere familiar with these
people, and supply valuable authorita-
tive Information as to the kind and
number of prints which they buy.
They represent the great majority,
the army of human beings who, after
all. have to look at the pictures and
who know in their hearts without any
skill as technicians, whether or not the
finished product Is worthy of admira-
ton of pilgrimage

Guglielmo Marconi was only fif- ten years old when he studied at the universities of Bologna and Padua and began his electrical re- searches. In the course of the next few years he began the study of the so-calIed Hertzian waves. or electrical impulses which travel through the air without the use Of a wire. In 1895, when he was only twenty years old, his advanc- ed knowledge on this obscure sub sect Inspired him with the theory that these waves could be sent out and received at will, and in tha. year he had constructed the first wireless apparatus, the efficiency of which astonished the world.

Ny Dear Friend Since leaving

The writer exhausted every effort
