By HOLLAND

New York. February 1s.-(special) Approximately s4OOo,oo0 was paid for the collection of porcelains which was made by the late J. P. Morgan. The various articles comprised in the collection repre- sented MT Morgan's personal judgment and also to some extent his indifference to cost. Nominally the collection was sold to firm of dealers, but, of course, the inference was strong that no one firm of dealers could command as great an amount of money as s4,Ooo.OoO so as to secure absolute title in a collection of this kind. The dealers were presumed to have bought the collection for men of wealth who were as indifferent to cost as MT. Morgan himself was
 Gradually, the real purchasers of the collection-two at least-have become known to collectors and dealers, although this knowledge may be entirely inferen- tial At all events, collectors and dealers are convinced that one of the purchasers is John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Of course, every one knew that MT. Rockefeller had an abundance of caiptal so that he could make lavish expenditure for works of art. But only the collectors and some of the dealers have known that MT. Rocke- feller possesses an unusual gift for appre- ication of all that Is best in art espe- cially ceramics, porcelains. possibly tap estry and those exquisite designs and tints in rugs which reflect the capacity of the eyes of the rug makers of the far east to discern delicate and remote tints of shades which are not aparent to the unaccustomed eye.
 Mir Rockefeller differs from others oi his family with respect to his artistic taste. His father was very fond of land- scape but he prefers the real landscape to the limitations of it upon canvas. His uncle, William Rockefeller, was at the time when his health was excellent. fond

PEG O. MY HEART, RETURNS
FOR TWO PERFORNIANCE

Oliver Moroscos production of peg
O. Ny Heart" the well-known comedy
III youth. which will be the attrac-
ton al the Academy OF Music on Tues
day, matinee and night. is said to be
the most popular play offered in New
York in years.
When ]. Hartley Manners first wrote
Peg O. My Heart" it IS said that he
had some difficulty in finding a man
ager willing to produce It, Mr.. Mo-
rosco, a Westerner with an un- Man
haitian outlook on life, discovered that
the play was different" in that II
was without discussion of social ques-
lions, capital and labor and under
world references. from all of which
material for plays had been drawn, to
the great extent, at that time. Mr..
Morosco saw in the play tho relief
for which theatergoers had long been
waiting.
Peg" Is a little human being with
a child's outlook on life and a child's
naive ways. The story concerns a
little Irish girl brought up by her
father In poverty and suddenly intro
duced into a family of aristocratic
relatives in England. Her appearance
shocks her high born relatives, and her
unfam!liarity with the ways OF the
aristocracy leads to many humorous
situations.
