HOLD REUNION
GUEST PARTY
Many Guests Present Including
Former Members of the Com
pany and Lady Friends of the
Men

1t was real reunion of old COM
rades. The mess hall fairly rang with
joy and laughter and music. Among
those who were there were former Top
Sergeant Raymond Milton and Ser
geants Schifficld Moore and Kaiser
man, who are attached to the Special
School of the Third Regiment.
There were many guests present,
among whom were Captain Carnduff.
and Mrs. Otto l.. KampsChaefer, wife
of the commanding officer, and a whole
host of Southern Bellies, all of whom.
with one exception, appeared to be Ser
geant Jack Minkowsky's friends. The
exception referred to was that of a
beautiful actress from New York, who
seemed especially to know Lieut.. l.. c..
Guenthier, and he was very attentive
to make the evening a pleasant one
for her, So it is presumed that she
was his guest
Notwithstanding Sergeant Minkow-
skys varied popularity, Top Sergeant
G. l.. Olson was voted the most popu-
lar sergeant in Camp Hancock for he
was able to monopolize the attention of
the same girl throughout the afternoon
and evening. 1t was conceded that it
requires a better soldier successfully to
than to force a temporary entrance to
any number of hearts with even only
one entrance.
The entertainment was begun with
a generous dinner RAJ ging from olives,
celery, baked pork, and all that, to
Georgia punch, with no emphasis on
the punch, which had been prepared by
| Cooks IT, A. Sawyer. Gus Moshes. O.

matured and the school as it is pro-
crossing through the efforts of the
younger men. The observer who would
wish to know the present worth of
American sculpture may here find out.
1t is the problem at large that invites
that so many Of the sculptures have
been seen and discussed before and
hence require little, il any individual,
comment. One looks to broad aspects
of development, to the essential ele-
ments in the subject. From this point
Of view one is at the outset little
disappointed. Originality is the great
desideratum in the arts. 1t has always
upheaval of personality in the Italian
Renaissance was fairly unique oc-
currence. Since that period no country,
not even. France, where sculpture has
peculiarly flourished, has had anything
like the same galaxy of talents active at
one time. Our own school is still
young 1t has developed since Saint
Gaudens, no one possessing gifts as
salient as his, and of late some of the
youths of brightest promise have fallen
under an unfortunate blight. The
"archaic" movement, if we may thus
loosely designate the current mode
represented here by Mr.. Paul Manship
and Mr.. Sherry Fry, threatens to dry
up the springs of true plastic art under
the pressure of d specious artiticlallty.
But happily. this movement gives no
sign that it is to endure. There are
sounder auguries of the future in the
works of juniors like Mr., James E.
Fraser and Mr. Rudolph Evans. The
latter has made a notable statue in
~ he Golden Hour" a conception I'M
mistakably derived from Greek sources,
but revealing in its quality the vital
workmanship in which American sculpt-
ure must rest if it is to reach a fitting
goal. Originality, we repeat, is not at
all abundant in this exhibition, but Mr.
Fraser and Mr. Evans have it, and what
is more. they bring arrestingly to the
surface the principal merit of the
whole school.
We have already defined that merit.
1t is vital workmanship, the basing of
ideas upon an instructed and skilful
handling Of form. Often at the
Academy or in some Of the smaller ex-
hibtions of sculpture we have been

to it. The new tribute is due, we
understand, very largely to the ardor
of Mr.. Daniel Chester French, who in
this exhibition realizes, in fact, dream
entertained for years. 1t is easy to
understand the enthusiasm with which
he conceived the idea and worked for
it, Roughly speaking, the painters
may be said to have everything their

envy, it appears occasionally IN the
zone man" show, as in the case of Mr.
O'Connor's brilliant exhibition this
season, and the dealers do their part;
but we have had to wait for precisely
the demonstration that Mr.. French has
promoted at the museum. Made chair
man of the committee formed among
the trustees, he has also had the adj
vantage of Mr. Herbert Adams's assoc
citation with that body, and of the spe-
cal appointment Of Mr.. James Z.
Fraser and Mr.. A. A. Weinman as
members in an advisory capacity. In
other words, the purpose of the .mu-
scum has been to have the interests of
American sculpture affirmed as it were
from within, leaving it to experienced
practitioners of the art to assemble
a body of some fourscore examples, to
place them in the appointed rooms, to
Iota ho inf ~
rounding walls, and in every way to
see that the occasion developed the
right conditions. Mr.. French and his
colleagues are to be congratulated on
the result.
Their exhibition might be character
lied as condensation of historical
evidence, a tangible summary of the
traits Of a school. They have not
attempted too much. The record does
not throw back too far. In fact, the
only figure from the old regime is DR..
Brimmer, whose "Falling Gladiator" is
welcome as marking the point of de-
parture from which our renaissance
sprang. The late J. @. A. Wards

Ryders response to the poignant sim
p.icity Of the famous stage directions

surplusage. We behold his vision as
IN a flash between thunder claps; it
goes as swiftly as it comes, and, thanks
to the dense obscurity to which we
have referred, we feel for a moment
as we sometimes feel in life, as if we
have imagined the thing which we had
seen. Drama like this, on canvas, is
surely extraordinary achievement.
There is one supreme merit in Ryder
which inclines US to rank him far above
any of the men with whom he might
be said to have a certain allance-such
men as Burne-Jones, Rossetti, Blake,
Noreau, Boecklin and Klinger. This is
his prod.gious variety. Take the works
of any Of The artists we have men

through them all the family likeness"

sions of Pegasus" in his Dancing
Dryads," in "The Lovers" and when he
paints the Resurrection" it is as if
he had taken Milton, "chief of organic
numbers" as a guide to the sweetest
solemnity of his strain. We might cite
indefinitely the mutations of his
genius, the transition from the homely
charm of such a rustic theme as is
disclosed in attending the Harness." to
the romanticsm of his Forest of Ar
dem" from the pathos of his religious
subjects to the mere sensuous beauty
of his sea pieces. But we prefer to go
back to the central source of all these
different keys-his wide reaching mag
nation, the passion in him, always
leading on to some new adventure,
which We can only define as the passion
for beauty. We think for a moment of
Monticello, and that gift of his for
color which carried him sometimes to
the very borders of fairyland. Ryder

important point. Where manv painters

sequently bore us to death, Ryder was
so rich IN imaginative thought and feel

limitations. He had personality, the
mysterious magic which in some indie

holder sensation Of beauty. Perhaps
the most eloquent proof of this lies in
the least obviously imaginative of all

Ryder's handicaps were of nature to
have discouraged most men beyond all
patience. Even in the field of color.

narrow scale, and he had a tendency to
muddy the deep blueish greens, the
tawny reds and the golden yellows wit,
which he dealt. Al times ne seems to
have practically lost control of color.

Witches" in which figures and land
scapes are withdrawn into an almost
impenetrable penumbra. Yet from
amongst the thousands of Shakespe-
rian illustrations we have seen we can
recall not one that is even to be COM

as a footnote TO the play is that amaz-
ing essay of De Quincey's, "On the
