Out of Homes Narrow Confines Full Growth Is Possible for Children American Artist Suggests That Home Is Menace to Chld's Developments Regal and Splendid
 Pride in His c reat Picture

MT. Henri regards Miss Duncan's $ bringing up these children on the free lines she has followed as one of the hopeful manifestations of the age
 Miss Duncan Realizes Great Ideal.
 It is but an expression of our present groping toward the freedom of the individual" the artist went on. The great men of our time, Walt Whitman and Ibsen and Tolstoy, were working toward the same ideal"
 And the outburst of futurist and post i'm pressionist art is also a grop- ing for free expression, according to MT. Henri.
 They are making mistakes, many mistakes he unused, but that will make no difference in the end. The mistakes will not live, but the one thing that is true and real will"
 The artist, according to MT. Henri must be a seer too. He must be able to see further than the face of those he paints, he must look deep inside and read the soul and he must be ble to find in every human being something sublime.
 Do you remember how the dwarf looks in Valesquezs painting?' he queried. 'I don't believe that dwarf looked like that to any one else of that time. But Velasquez was able to see, despite the crooked body and the twisted mind, something to respect He could see the man in him, and he could make that little buffoon of the court, accustomed only to jests and ridicule, feel that he saw the man."
 And it is because MT. Henri has this power of reading the soul of those he paints that he is a great artist. In the picture of the gypsy woman in the Metropolitan Art Mu- scum this gift is vividly revealed One sees with him beyond her faded ra gs 8 regal and splendid pride.

POLPS COMPANY
 IN BABY MINE

As per schedule, Baby Mine was played at Polls theater. Hartford by the Poli Players last night, beginning a week of afternoon and evening per formances. The performance wcf funny-any performance of Margare' Mayos comedy would be funny that got the lines over the lights at all but the much eraided. extra. special l. added feature atra ction Of a real live baby in the last act did not ma- terialize. This in spite of the fact that the stereoscope lantern flashed on the screen the name or the. woman who identified the cute little dear.
 The two settings of the three acts were very fine. It lacked but a card in the corner, This room furnished q complete, 1,500," to complete the natural look. The acting of the four principals was vivacious but stagy. Yet, as 1t is inconceivablc that such concatenation of circumstances could occur off the stage, this can readily be lost sight of.
 Margaret Skirvin. the juvenile lead ing woman of the Players. has a for tunate part in Baby Minc.' As Zoie, the utterly irresponsible, ha1r-oralned. charming wife, her bounding glrlsh spirits can have full play and carry her in a bounding manner over diff cult bits where a more experienced player would be put to it to keep up the character. Weiba Lestina, Roy Phillips and Harry HollingsWofth, the three other principals, were qulle sat isfactory.

Is the home a menace to the child's development?
 Robert Henri, in the foremost rank of American artists, believes that it is, and he refers to the pupils of Isadora Duncan as examples of what might be done with children taken from the narrow confines of the home.
 They are wonderful, those chill dren!" MT. Henri exclaimed. He had just finished afternoons work, and was sitting in the twilight of his big studio at 10 Gramercy Square, New ork. He had visited the Duncan pupils the day before, and his mind was still filled with thoughts of them.
 ''The minute I entered the room l felt that they were different from other children; there was a different light in their eyes, and there was un- derstanding there, too. And do you know why? It is because they are free. They are not trammelled by narrow prejudices and by ignorance. They are allowed to develop naturally. They are beautiful in figure and face because they live in a free environ- ment.
 But if Reared in Homesc
 You can imagine what some of these children would have been if they had been allowed to grow up in the homes they were born into. What would that shy little one they found in a Russian hovel have been, for in stance? In Germany, I remember, when the working people in the gal lery applauded the work of the chill dren Miss Duncan would say to them, Would you like your children to be so? They can; these are your children. They come from your own people, It just shows the wonderful possibilities of all children. But few of them, of course, are given this chance"
 Then you believe the child should be taken out of the home" MT. Henri was asked.
 Aren't they already taken out of the home to work, and aren't they sent out of the home to the streets?" he retorted.

New Britain herald., 1915-01-26

and the work was not mental But she did not put on her finery to come to me, not she. The old faded clothes, worn so long that they had become almost a part of her, were good enough for me, and she carried | in her tucked up apron the bread crusts she had begged and stolen on 1 her way. They were for the chil- dren in the camp.
 She took her pose without any suggestion from me, and no student , of posture could have posed her bet ter. There was still the disdain in 1 the lift of her chin and in her beady eyes One felt that here, indeed was a queen, real queen, who need ed no diadem to prove her rank. And one saw, too, that here was some of i the proud spirit that reached far ! back in spite of centuries of wander 1 ing to the time of the Egyptian" MT. Henri has made a study of many types and nationalities of wom- en. He has been able to see be- yond the mask like face of the Chi nese woman and has presented her in an unusual portrait. He has painted Indian women, Irish women, Spanish and Mexican beauties, high caste Japanese and East Side tene- ment girls.
 One of his best portraits is that of Miss Josephine Nevison, a pupil at the art school.
 His Pupil a Human Question Mark.
 She was standing in her old paint-spattered apron at the close of 8 lesson, with her paint brushes clutched firmly in her little fist, list ening to a conversation. She seemed a little human question mark, and everything about her, every line of her dress, suggested that idea. I wanted to paint her just as she was, and l asked her to pose for me the next day. I was afraid she couldn't assume the same pose and the same look, but it happened that as she entered my studio she fell into that same energetic, questioning attitude. l had to paint very rapidly to get it."
 MT. Henris portraits of children show his understanding of what he calls the mysterious soul of the child.''
 Never Plays Down. to Children.
 T never try to play down to the
 
 on his level," the artist explained. When a child poses for me 1 let him know unconsciously my respect for him. 1 may try to amuse him, but it is not as if he were an inferior. To me a child is a wonderful thing"
 Perhaps that is why his child DOT traits show a baffling quality, as if he put on the canvas some of the mystery and wonder of childhood. On the wall of his studio hangs pie ture of little Irish girl, with sensi- tive lips. and eyes so round and blue and misty that it seems as if a world of dreams were hidden there. Next to her was a little Irish boy in red dress against vivid green back ground. and beyond the artists present study, the nude figure of an exaui- ! sitely formed young girl, with her face half turned aside and her cop per gold hair hanging low over her i eyes.
