gers, which is reflected delightfully."- in the
nature of their surroundings. He may know
of the reactions from the evenings, but he
keeps these little tragedies, if there are any
to himself. With even Paris aiming at uni
vcrsaism, Mr.. Caro- Delvaile remains indu-
bitaby Partisan. This may not necessarily
be to say that he is provincial. We shall see
bis American counterpart in Edmund C. Tar
bell, Bostonese painter of Boston"
THIS artist, continues the critic, is
4 really himself, however, in the por-
traits. Of the same exhibit writer in
"The New York Sun" adds:
"1n the present collection Mr.. Caro-Del-
vallc has left tea things far behind and has
embarked upon new career Of frank decora-
ton. He has great refinement of color and
immense erudition. He not only knows the
scholastic laws of design but thousands of
classic applications of them. Being modern
and Partisan, he is not only also Greek but
q Japanese, and mystic and realist The
great danger of erudtion, OF course, is the
temptation Of its possessor to steer for all
the ports. But each voyage ends of course
at one port
ITO THE art critic of "The New York
L. Times" the work Of Mr.. Caro-Del-
vaille is interesting first because of its
relation to the new movement in the direc.
ton of coordinated decoration in France
He declares:
ITO mako an end of houses decorated in
a style of the past, with the worn and tar
nished furnishings of the past, softly dimmed
and exquisitely harmonized, would offend not
only psychologists, but connoisseurs of sen
sitive taste and cautious instincts But to
create new houses in which the present
tendencies of art may be expressed; to find
style that has grown from the tradi-
tons Of the past; to give decorative pictures
their place as decoration and easel pictures

A "Cubistic" Madonna

Emily Stcvens, IN "The Madonna
Of the F'utuye," 9 satire By Alan Dale,
produced By Olircr Morosco at the
Byoadhuyst Theatre Monday night.
THERE comes somewhere in the ca
reer of most dramatic critics time
when the dramaturgic urge grows
too lusty to be put down. Probably very
few critics have not to answer for play,
produced or still unproduced. Now comes
forward one of New York's best known re-
viewers with a new play. And his brother
critics have been led . merry pace.
Louis V. De Foe, in 1.-THE World" OBJ

trying for when he wrote the comedy at the
Rroadhurst Theatre which he calls THE

conyentonalities which are at the root of 90
per cent Of them. Of all things about plays
that eventually get on his nerves these are
the worst. SO when Mr.. Dale dared to be-
come victim Of his victims and write a play
himself, to avoid what is bana was his main
dramatist's endeavor and was content to be-
come just absurd
"Of course" continues "The Evening
Journal
"bcing satire, Mr.. Dalc's stage story deals
with the question in a serio-comic way only.

much safer than the new" way. So the
madonna of the future went to the altar
after all.
John Corbin, in "The World" calls her
"a cubistic madonna" and of the piece he
writes:
"Thc manners Of Mr.. Dale's comedy are
dynamic throughout. being quite shocking
and aggressvcly bad. as is the custom in
such plays. 1t is so in Wilde and Shaw. with

REACTION OCCURS
ON N. Y. EXCHANGE
Selling Pressure Forces List Down
After Strong Opening.

New York, Feb. 5.-Stocks opened
strong today. but the selling pressure,
caused by the taking over OF petro-
leum control by the government. soon
forced a reaction OF about a point.
After great irregularity for about
couple OF hours, the list turned strong
and closed in much better condition
than it opened. Specialties were the
feature of the day. Distillers being the
favorite toward the close. Malt, In
dustrial Alcohol and Atlantic Gulf and
West Indies attracted much attention.
Reading was one of the firm stocks.
As the standard stocks were quiet all
day professional Wall Street paid
most attention to the specialties.
Writing Paper preferred was the
first of these to distinguish itself. Re-
port that American Malt might go
into liquidation caused pnying OF the
stock.
Malt could liquidate. paying Off the
back dividends OF 80 1-3 per cent and
leaving between 75 and par for the
preferred. But in order to liquidate
two-thirds of the common stock, hold
ers must consent.
