But there is one phsse Of it which may
prohtably be touched upon with some
reference TO the Eakins exhibition. II
is q phase which We may see illumins-
ted, too, in the exhibition at the mu-
scum Of remarkable collection OF
Renaissance wood cuts. We allude 10
the matter Of pictorial narrative.
That, if We are to believe some modern
painters. is a form of art long ago
played out. They are in terror o. the
literary motive" As matter Of fact,
there is nothing in the literary motive
that is intrinsically opposed to artistic
perfection. We make too much of ter
minology. Velasquez used literary
motive when ne painted THE Surrender
Of Breda"; he told story in that con-
summate masterpiece of design. Go
from the Eakins exhibition to the Klein
berger Primitives, and see where the
difference comes in. Go from the
Gross Clinic to the St. John the
Baptist series BY Giovanni di Paolo.
That fascinating little work in paint
ed biography is not. indeed, the only
testimony in the show 10 the old Ital-
ian interest in narration. Look at the
golden cassone piece by some anony-
nous Florentine Of the fifteenth CEN
fury, surmised to be dedicated to
Eness in the palace of Dido. Look at
the Dominican legend by Taddeo di
Bartolo, or at Sassetta's works, or at
the tiny Msrtyrdoms BY Alegretto
Nuzi, or at that other grim tale from
the lives Of the saints by Jacopo degli
Avanzi. They are quivering with the
early Italian emotion for a story told
IN terms 20 be understood of all men.
It is an emotion running like a per-
vasive stream through Renaissance
painting. You find Florence di Lorenzo
playing with il in his San Bernardino
series at Perugia, Gezzel pours it into
the jewelled landscapes and knightly
professions Of the Riccardi chapel in
Florence, Botticelli dips into it, and it
rises to strange pitches OF elaboration
as painters like Ghirlandsjo, Pinto
ricchio and Carpsccio take up their be-
quilting themes. Religious inspiration
is at the bottom of IL, but II is re-
ligious inspiration doubled with as real
istic preoccupation as that Of Eakins.
Was it their devoutness that enabled
them to triumph where he failed In
the pursuit Of beauty? No. 1t was
their Imagination, their apprehension
of the things we have been talking
about-drawing, color, design-as the
servants Of beauty as well as of truth.
They saw their subjects in a light of
charm, of lovely fantasy. They dealt
with life as simply as though they were
making picture books for children, a
penny plain and twopence colored.
With an ineffable naIvete they re-
corded their facts, interpreting sanity
martyrdoms in the language of the life
going on about them. And all the time
they painted in the glowing idiom Of
poets, dreaming dreams.
The wood cuts just mentioned pre-
sent the same motive from only a
slightly different angle. This collec-
ton, framed for the student of
processes and historical evolutions.

He was an old actor. reckoned as one
Of the glories Of the stage. and all It's
noblest traditions survived in him. The
author had thrown an arm across his
shoulders and talked to him as they

The Curtain Rose
For the Last Act

The second act had q success d'estime,
and the curtain rose for the third act.
Fanjarl finally appeared, descending
the staircase with an air of nobility.

lust az az the rehearsals, without n
cry, without sob, began his set
speech.
Clinging to the arms Of his velvet
covered seat. arching his shoulders, the
author growled out, as II he thought
he could communicate his own fire TO
"Let gol Let gol Let go!"
But Fanjard continued 70 the end In
a colorless voice. While the curtain
descended amid merely courteous ap-
plause. the author ran TO the wings.
The fury which he had held back for
eight days nearly strangled him. Fan
lard was returning 10 his dressing
room.

II. Old Actor
Listened Composedly

FM. o'clock sounded and the players
left n. stage. The author rejoined
Fsnjard in the wings. After having
eestieulated, shouted and fumed for
three hours. he had a moist skin, dry
tongue and a hoarse voice. Fanjard,
as be made his way toward his dressing
nom. listened TO the other composedly.

1t Was the Director
Ultimate Argument.

"Let us wait and see. my dear mas
ter" the director protested. AND
when q director thus addresses an au-
thor who has only vague claim TO
such q title, ne is using his ultimate
argument) Let us wait and see. Have
more confidence. am as much inter
ested in the success Of your piece as
you are. Don't get worried yourself
and don't worry him. He is $3.50
now, perhaps; only $3.50. But he will
be superb. That | guarantee you"
The first night arrived.
In the back Of box, alongside the
director. the author listened TO his
play. The first part of 1t was tort
ure. With each spectator who en-
tered late; with each seat slammed
down, he had the feeling that human
ity in general was in a conspiracy TO
ruin him. Yet the director kept wbis-
pering 10 him:
ITS a 20. It's 60"
After the first curtain he wanted 70
20 up to the dressing rooms and give
some last suggestions to the actors.
But the director dissuaded him.
LET them alone. Don't bother them.
Believe me, Il will be success"
