Gainsborough's "Mall"
Adds to Joy of Life
Nv ROYAL CORTISSOZ.

The huge sums paid for old masters
have sometimes invited rather sharply
critical comment. But like Artemas
Ward, who did not care how many OF
his wife's relations were drafted into
the war. we do not care how much has
been paid for Gainsborough's "Niew IN
the Mall. St. James's Park" the picture
Just acquired for an American collector,
according to yesterdays dispatches. 1t
is said that portentous price was paid
TO the owner. Sir Audley Neeld. 1t
does not matter. If one OF the two
most likely buyers, Mr.. Frick or Mr..
Widener. has paid half a million for 1t,
we can only congratulate him on his
bargain. Why? Because "The Mall" IS
reckoned amongst those paintings which
add apprecably TO the JOY of life.
Other masterpieces may be worth hav-
ING for other reasons. This one is re-
nowned merely as a boon of beauty. II
measures about four feet by three and
every square inch of it is drenched in
the radiance of romantic landscape art
insborough never painted lovelier
thing.
IL is a souvenir of his old age, paint
ed. il is believed, only two years or so
before his death, but it more properly
represents the very springtlde OF his
art. Sir Walter Armstrong, his defni-
tive biographer, cites a delightful say
ing of Walpole's about the picture
is all in motion and in flutter like a
lady's fan" Constable, a sure judge OF
a landscape if ever there was one, is
credited with a sedater observation, "an
exceeding fine picture" But the famous
dilettante struck the apter, more dithy-
rambic note. In doing so he recognized
the peculiar element in Gainsborough's
genius, the element which set him apart
from all the other painters OF his school.
As the tradition of Van Dyck filtered
down into eighteenth century English
art il promoted in the first place GER
tain courtly Journalism. The stately por-
traiture characteristic of the Georgian
masters is distinguished above all
things by elegance of design. In Sir
Joshua's hands it takes on something Of
the grand style, and, indeed, this ten
dency is perceptible in all the members
of his circle, in Gainsborough as in the

COLLEGE SONG FEST MARCH 4
Six Teams Entered in University Glee
Clubs Prize Contest.

With singing teams from Harvard.
Princeton, Columbia. Pennsylvania,
Dartmouth and Penn. State entered, the
third annual intercollegiate melody
fest for Eastern colleges will be held
at Carnegie Hall on Saturday evening,
March L. There is unusually keen
rivalry between the respective glee
clubs this year, because Harvard and
Dartmouth each have won leg on the
silver cup presented by the University
Glee Club of New York. The trophy
becomes the permanent property of any
club which wins it two out Of three
successive years.
Columbia's singers will make SUI
preme effort to prevent the cup from
journeying either to Cambridge or
Hanover, and with Princeton and Penn.
State as new competitors the contest
takes on added interest.
Each club will sing Edward MacDow-
ellis "War Song" and two other selec-
tons. one light classical piece and
the other a rousing football sony The
judges will be John Hyatt Brewer,
conductor of the Apollo Club of Brook
lyn; Louis Koemmenich. conductor OF
the Mendelssohn Glee Club of New
York, and Victor Herbert.
The University Glee Club of 100
voices will also sing several selections.

rest. But the painter of "The Mall"
had some curiously modern streaks in
him. Like Ruysdael before him, like Con-
stable and the Barbizon men, he had a
profound feeling for nature. Where
Reynolds would use landscape only for
BACKGROUND purposes, choosing his mo-
tive from some majestic English park,
Gainsborough would paint it for It's own
sake and 20 to the countryside for his
theme. Then, too, like Valasquez and
Rubens before him, like Manet and Al
fred Stevens and host OF modern
painters, he had an instinct for pig
ment as pigment, knew how TO extort
from oil paint the special quality which
belongs to that medium as to no other,
and made himself one of the great ex-
emplars Of pure techique. You look at
some of his portraits, at the great
Mrs. Siddons." for example, with APP
probation, chiefly, o. their broad
merits of style. When you encounter
a portrait like the bewitching Per
dita' Robinson" of the Wallace collec-
ton, you think only of the shimmering
dress, the lues that float upon the
canvas like rose leaves on sllvery
stream, the "feathery" brushwork,
which is as consummate in its way as
the legerdemaln OF Halls.
That has long been acknowledged TO
be the secret Of "The Mall" Arm
strong compares il with Watteau's I'm
barkment for Cythera,' in the Louvre,
and though he is not sure that Cams
borough ever saw one of the French
mans paintings he cannot resist the sur
mise that in "The Mall" he consciously
measured himself" with the foreign
master. Such surmises are irrelevant.
The important point is the simple one
that in this picture, consciously or un-
consciously, he very nearly matched
Watteau on his own gicund. We say
"very nearly" because, as mat
ter Of fact, Gainsborough never quite
achieved the Frenchman's mastery Of
form and he never discovered the Sc
cret of that honeyed. golden tone
which. like his tints of rose, Watteau
practically invented. But all the other
entertainments have exerted their spell
in "The Mall" the SAVIOR of light, gra-
cious romance, the fascination of ex-
qusite movement under murmurous
foliage, the play of light and air and
color in a gossamer web of painted
charm. Old masterpieces brought from
abroad TO the United States have a
pathetic way of disappearing from view
into the private collections for which
they are purchased. 1t is to be hoped
that in this case there may be public
exhibition.
