American Galleries Have
500 Paintings and Old
and New Prints
HONORS WON BY
NATIVE ARTISTS
Sale of Promising Array
Will Begin at the
Plaza Tonight
By ROYAL CORTISS0Z

The three hundred paintings now on
view at the American Art Galleries
come from perhaps a dozen different
owners and accordingly form decid-
eddy miscellaneous collection. In so far
as any group of artists may be said TO
give predominating color to the show,
our own school carries off the honors.
Here is a good opportunity for those
who wish to compete for American
works of art, charming landscapes, not
too important" which are not unlikely
to go for reasonable figures when the
sale begins at the Plaza tonight.
Indeed, we haven't in long time
seen so promising an array in the auc-
tion room. Bruce Crane, Francis Muir
ply, George II. Bogert, Charles H..
Davis, the late Henry W. Ranger, Will
lam Gedney Bunce. Theodore Robinson,
Homer Martin and Alexander II. Wyant
are all represented-some of them, like
Mr.. Crane, by six or more pictures
and if there is nothing precisely thrill
ing in the mass of their works. neither
is there painting which is dull. The
figure painters are less persuasive,
though Mr.. Hassam's two or three early
sketches and Mr.. Hswthorne's "Girl
Sewing" do something to lend an in
terest to this side of the exhibition.
The foreigners. mostly uninspiring,
anecdotic types. like Casanova or Berne-
Bellecour, nevertheless include a few
painters of the first class. The modern
Dutchmen leave a good impre ssion--

The rugs and stufs form the best con-
tingent. Bird cages are pleasantly con-
spicuous, and this time there are some
charming fish bowls TO match them Tho
miniature gardens, with flowers carved
in Jade, are more quaint than beauti-
full. The jewelry also is Disappointing,
save for the two mandarin necklaces

affairs.
The Anderson Galleries have issued
the catalogue of the fifth part OF Mr..
Frederic r. Halsey's print collection,
which will be placed on view next Sat-
urday and sold IN FIVE evening sessions,
beginning February 5. This embraces
the eighteenth century British nero
tints, which is TO say one OF the niosr
fascinating groups in all the porten-
tous multitude of Mr.. Halsey's engrav-
ings. The period is that Of Sir Joshua
and his circle, of an Incompatible
phase in the history Of courtly por-
traiture. And il is the period OF Valen-
tine Green, John Raphael Smith, the
Wards and the Watsons, Sam Reynolds
and John Jones--these and other
craftsmen who seemed 10 share, some
how, in the genius Of the masters
whose works they reproduced.

nounced, have fetched a total OF $685.

sides this one of mezzotints. Modern
prints are TO follow next month, old
masters will appear in March, and after
the Napoleonic and French Revolution
ary prints still other items arc

TAX ON TICKETS
FOR ADJUSTMENTS
PLANNED IN BILL
Would Raise S10,000,000 for
State, Says Assemblyman COT.
fey, Author of Measure

Albany, Jan. 23. Legislation by
which it is designed to raise 100000
900 or more through placing a stamp
tax on all amusement tickets will be
introduced in the Assembly Thursday
by Assemblyman ]. S. Coffey, of Mount
Vernon. The enactment Of such a bill,
Mr.. Coffey said to-day, would do much
toward solving the problem of finances
now confronting the Legislature.
Under the terms of the proposed bill
all amusement tickets selling for 20
cents would be taxed one-fourth OF a
cent and would have to bear stamp
when sold. to be cancelled when pre-
sented for admittance. The tax would
be increased one-fourth OF cent Tor
each % cents paid for the ticket:
No amusement ticket would be eX-
empt from the tax, Mr.. Coffey asserted.
"This sort of tax" Mr.. Coffey de-
clared, would be one the people would
not feel it a hardship to pay. In New
York City alone il would raise between
$4,000, 900 and 100000 each year, Tor
that city contributes about so per cent
Of the amusements of the state. IL
would make no difference what the
amusement was - whether baseball,
football, theatres, motion picture shows
or church bazaars-all would be taxed
alike. The stamps would be printed IN
denominations small enough to take IN
even the nickel picture shows"

man there comes a great picture. This
is Rousseau's Evening in the Forest OF
Fontainebleau," landscape about
equally notable for it's beautiful design
and for the fresh purity of its color.
Among the old masters there Is one

the Magi," by Rubens, which figured In
the Blakeslee sale two years ago. IL
this lacks the unity OF his most charac-
teristic productions 1t has at all events
much of his ebullient vigor and his
sumptuous brilliance.
At the same place may be seen a
quantity of old and modern prints
about FIVE hundred in all-from eight
or ten collections. There are some fine
impressions Of early Dutch, German
and French masters, but the modern
etchers fill the Observation-Disclosures,
Meryon, Haden and so on down to the
younger men like Earl Horter and
Shaw Mclaughlin.
The atmosphere is eclectic here, as
among the paintings. The amateur
vivacity of Fortuny into the elegiac
sentiment of Samuel Palmer, and pause
by the way before the architectural
picturesqueness Of d. Y. Cameron or
the frou-frou Of Paul Hellieu. There
are interesting Estates" and scores of
good impressions on the walls. This
also is a chance for the discerning and
modest buyer. The sale takes place
next week, beginning Monday evening.
Lastly, the American Art Galleries
display Oriental objects belonging to
Yamanaka e. Co., which will be sold
next Friday and Saturday afternoons.

Magic a photo-play shown at the
litagraph Studio yesterday. In a ging-
ham frock and sunbonnet Edith
Storey is a plain little girl at whom no
one would look twice, but after she
learns 20 select her clothes from the
show rooms of Poiret & Georgette
She becomes a most delectable vision:
Miss Storey defies all the rules OF
beauty, and yet there is no one quite
Ike her. One forgets 70 criticise her
features in trying to analyze her
charm.
The story Of Money Magic is not
exactly pleasant. The moral seems to
be that if two perfectly healthy per-
sons who are tied 10 two semi-invallds
happen 70 fall in love the two incum-
FRANCES should be put out of the way.
ir. Osler tried to introduce something
OF the kind at one time, but no one
over sixty seemed TO take kindly to the
idea.
Miss Storey plays Bertha Gilman,
who tries to manage small hotel IN a
mining town in the West. She is
Courted by Marshall Haney, but she re.
fuses to marry him until he is wounded
10 a barroom fight. Then, when she
supposes him to be dying. the ceremony
is performed, and he is ungrateful
enough 10 get well As Haney has an
income Of 100000, derived from his
mines, life passes rather pleasantly for
Bertha until she meets Antonio
Moreno, who, in the play, is Ben For
dyce. Ben's fanc6e is in Colorado
Springs for her health. whittier Bertha

the invalids are extremely likable per-
sons, and it seems a pity that one must
put them out of the way. When they
realize that they are standing in the
way Of the happiness Of those they love

free and Bertha's husband journeys TO
toe top of a high mountain and dies
there alone.

TWO NOTABLE RECITALS
ATTRACT MUSIC LOVERS
The Cherniavskys at Carnegie Hall and
Carl Friedberg at Aeolian

There were two recitals in the music
world yesterday afternoon and both
were we'll attended. At Carnegie Hall
Leo. Jan and Mischief Cherniavsky made
"A second appearance, playing among
other things the Schubert Trio for
pianoforte, violin and violoncello.
Mischief gave the Goltermann Concerto
in A minor, Jan a group of Chopin and
Leo the Ernst F sharp major violin
concerto. All three brothers are excel
lent musicians and their ensemble
work is admirable. Yet in the play
ing of all three there is an unfortunate
exaggeration Of feeling and tone. II
is pity that this sentimentality
should mar an otherwise unusual per-
Torrance.
Carl Friedberg, always a fine and
sincere pianist, gave a Schumann- Cho-
rim programme at Aeolian Hall. Mr..
Friedberg is we'll versed in the me
chanics of his art and he has feeling
and intelligence. In Schumann's Sym
phonic Etudes and his Three Romancess,
or. rs. he was at his best, playing with
restraint, yet with a variety Of tone
color and wise dynamic adjustment.

FLONZALEYS PERFORM
NEW MOOR COMPOSITION
Quartet Plays His "Prelude and fugue
at Aeolian Hall

Emmanuel Moor is surely getting his
share of recognition from the Flon-
zaleys. A new composition Of his was
on their last programme, and last night
at Aeolian Hall they played from manu-
script his Prelude and Fugue for string
quartet. ,
This composition was, as are all OF
Moor's productions, we'll made, fluent
and externally excellent. The prelude
possessed some charm and melodic In
terest, but the fugue was dull and AGA
demic. All in all it seemed, outside
his mere craftsmanship, uninspired and
tedious. Needless to state, the quartet
played it beautifully, with rare suavity
and distinction.
The Bach suite for cello alone, in +
fat major, is rather too much for the
average modern audience, but Mr..
D'Archambeau played it most grace
fully, yet with sufficient classic sever
ity. The concluding quartets were the
Beethoven + minor, Op. 80, and the
Glazounow in D major, Op. l.

Suggestions for New
Vaudeville Version of
1.-THE Queens Enemies"
BY HAYWOOD BROUN

Laurette Taylor recently delivered a
lecture on dramatic criticism at the
Columbia School of Journalism and
said a number of pertinent things. We
were delighted to observe that the star
Of "The Harp Of Life" took occasion
to comment upon a Tribune review.
"0ne critic said that when depicted

Tor told the students. land that when it
was presumed to be more intense

Sfe is not always the best model for
the actress. Pain ard suffering, for
instance, are almost invariably accom-
panied by nausea. and yet we believe
Miss Taylor could play the death of
Camille effectively without once SEEM
ing seasick.
"a critic must have heart as we'll
as q mind" Laurette Taylor also re-
marked. overlooking the fact that one
was lost at the first night of "Peg"
and the other when "The Harp Of Life"
opened.

Senator McCumber would close all

Nor is there any lack of tragedy in
the determination of so many TO receive
the Presidents address to the Senate
only in a petty and partisan spirit.
The special matinee at the Republic

its programme and the New York critics
who don't know much about American

Americas first comedy, "The Contrast

Boston on July IS, 1857, and many are
aware that he became aide-de-camp TO
General Benjamin Lincoln during the
Revolution. However, only few re-

Then there was Hoyt's famous farce

HER GOOD NAME" is SEEN
Jean Sothern Is Star Of Latest Art
Drama Film

"Her Good Name" with Jean Sothern
in the leading part, was shown by the
Art Drama yesterday. Miss Sothern is
excellent as Nan Floyd, a little country
girl, with plenty of spirit. What little
love making is done in the picture is
perpetrated by an elderly pair, who
should be convinced of the error OF
their ways. One may tolerate the
closeup clutch scene at sixteen, but it
ceases 10 be attractive at sixty.
Nan has the right idea when she pro-
tests vehemently on finding the house
keeper in her fathers arms. II was
time some one called halt. In the
courtroom scene, where Nan swears
away her good name to save her
fathers life, Miss Sothern does her
best work. Nan is GENERATED and she
wins her hero, who is an artist chap
named Earl Metcalfe.

"The Queens Enemies" would be ex-
cellent for vaudeville. but certain
changes would be necessary IN the
Dunsany play before it could be made
suitable for the two popular perform
ers we have in mind. The weak spot
in the little play is the moment where
the Queen is permitted to leave the
underground banquet hall. Annette
Kellermann as the Queen would not
leave, but would welcome the coming
of the Nile. She swims about all night
and in the morning, when her enemies
have ceased to gasp or gurgle, Harlee.
the dumb slave, unlocks the great door
and liberates her.
What is the horror and amazement
of the Queen to find one of the twin
dukes of Ethiopia sitting at the top
Of the steps laughing at her. With a
few quick dabs Of cloth he removes
the burnt cork and bows first to the
Queen and then to the audience. It is
