Prick GREATEST
ART COLLECTOR
Now Takes Place of Late J. p.
Morgan. Says James B.
Townsend.

That J. Pienont Morgan has
passed" and that Henry c.. Frick has
arrived" as the greatest American art
collector, by reason of his recent ac-
QUESTION of the Morgan Fragonard
panels is the hopeful prediction made
by James b. Townsend in the current
issue of "The American Art News"
while Mr.. Prick is not as yet to be
classed exactly in the same rank as
Mr.. Morgan" says Mr.. Townsend. "the
surprising quality and variety OF his
unrivalled collection of old and modern
foreign paintings, without exception
representative examples of some of the
most famous names in the history Of
painting; his recent acquisition Of the
Fragonard panels, perhaps the great

more especially his branching out into

goodly portion of the Morgan porce-

indicate that he possesses the <vident
ambition TO so widen the scope Of his
collections that these may in time rival

While these acquisitions and those
probably to be made by Mr.. Frick, i'm

send. would make him the owner in
themselves Of most of the most i'm

America. at least, it is not generally
known that Nh. Frick already posses
SEES perhaps the most notable collec-
ton of old and modern European mas
tiers in this country, and which is hard
" surpassed by any in Europe. The
addition of the Morgan Fragonards and
possibly the Morgan pictures. with
goodly part of the Morgan Chinese por-
cclains, and possibly in time OF the
Morgan miniatures and antiques Will
make Mr. Frick the owner of the great
est art collections in the world.

HONEY BOY EVANS
DIES In HOSPITAL
Noted Comedian Succumbs Sud-
denly to Old Stomach
Illness.

Baltimore, March 5.-William George
("Honey Boy") Evans, one or the best
known black-face comedians on the
stage, died tbs AFTERNOON at the Union
Protestant Infirmary. Mr.. Evans had
been sick from stomach trouble for a
long time. He spent last summer here,
but at the beginning of the season joined
hi company, playing at Ford's Grand
Opera House during he week Of De-
cember Ia, but his condition was such
that he was unable to appear at the
matinees.
Lately he had been touring the
South with his company and about
three weeks ago was compelled TO leave
il in Birmingham, Ala. On Wednesday
he arrived in Baltimore with his man
aver and went directly from the train
TO the infrmary. Thursday afternoon
he had a conference with his manager,
Daniel Shay, about his business. He
evidently realized that he was in
critical condition, for he gave certain
instructions to be carried out in case
of his death. He also requested Shay
TO 20 to New York and bring his attor-
ney, Dennis +. O'Brien, to see him.
Shortly after O'Brien's arrival Evans
died Honey Boy" Evans was one Of
the most populsr Ministries that have
performed on the American stage. He
was an excellent black-face comedian
and monologist. The news of his death
c:used measure Of sadness among
New York's theatrical people yester-
day.
: Evans was born in Pontotlyn. Wales.
on March 10. 1870, and first performed
professionally as a member of the CO.
iumbia Quartet in Balser's Music Hall.
Canton, Ohio, in 1891. He devoted
most of his time on the stage to black
face comedy acting and monologues:
His nickname was tackled on when
he appeared in Cohan & Harris's
Honey Boy" Minstrels. in 1906, as star
of the troupe. Mr.. Evans bought the
interest OF the producers in 1910, and
from then or was the exclusive pro-
prietor and star of the cast.
Some OF the biggest musical hits Of
the country were written by Honey
Boy" Evans. "I'll Be True 10 My
Honey Boy" Standing on the Corner,
Didn't Mean No Harm" Come Take
Trip in Ny Airship' and Down Where
the Watermelon Grows" are some OF
his more famous ragtime hits. He
was a member OF the Friars.
Mr. Evans is survived by mis- wife.

SIGN MISS WILSON'S BILL
Daughters Social Centre
Measure Pleased President.

Washington, March 6.-One OF the
pleasant tasks that fell to President
Wilson in the closing hours Of Con-
gress was the signing of bill which
provided for the use Of public school
buildings in the district as social CEN
Tres. This bill was introduced at the
suggestion Of the Presidents daugh-
ter, Miss Wilson, and carried out the
line Of work she has been engaged IN
for several years.
The bill is almost similar in its pro-
visions with the law now on the
statute books in New Jersey, which Mr..
Wilson also signed at the behest of his
daughter. The New Jersey law pro-
yides that schoolhouses can be used
for social centre work and gatherings

PUPIL
IN PIANO RECITAL
Herman WasSerman, of Vienna,
Heard by Enthusiastic Audi
cnce at Aeolian Hall.

A new pianist appeared last night at
Aeolian Hall in Herman Wssserman,
Z Viennese and pupil Of Godowsky.
Mr. Wasserman proved himself to be
an artist Of much assurance and album
dance OF dash. His technique was at
mes rather rough. but it was efficient
md facile. His tone was none too
warm, hut it was brilliant, and his
Laying throughout crisp ar and ,ne,siy e;
and Corelii,s s'Pastorale Angelus" was
not over.evident, and the pianist
seemed inclined to violent contrasts in
oynsmies.
In short. Mr.. Nasserman seemed an
artist Of promi >, whom experience
will mellow. Hss art as yet lacks
poetry and warmth, but IT is sincere.
His audience was large and unusually
enthusiastic.
