There may be seen at the American
Art Galleries q collection of pictures
making one Of the most striking cpl
sodes in q waning season. 1t consists
Of $50 pictures coming from nine or
ten different sources. Some belong 20
the estate of the late Charles Stewa TT
Smith, of this city. Others were owned
by the late William Macbeth. Still
others are from Illinois and Boston es-
tates and from several other collectors.
The ensemble, in these circumstances
should be varied and that is exactly
what it is. Yet it is "held together" to
an unusual extent for the reason that
most Of the persons who bought these
paintings were faithful to a certain
high standard Of taste. There are ad-
vocates Of modernism" to whom the
rooms would doubtless convey an old
fashioned impression. But to the dis
interested observer this impression is a
testimony to the essential virtue Of the
exhibition. To be old-fashoned is to
be in the van, when to be old fash
Toned means that one cares for good
pictures.
At the head OF the few old masters
on the walls is the "John the Baptist"
by Rembrandt, which long ago entered
the Smith collection accompanied BY
an excellent pedigree The catalogue
enumerates the English galleries it
adorned at one time or another, and
cites the authorities who have dealt
with it. But, like every thoroughly
documented old master, it really needs
no Recommendation, its credentials lying
upon its surface. Dating from 1892.
when Rembrandt was still in his
twenties, it bears the marks of that
greatness which was characteristic Of
him even in his early, formative period.
He was already the adroit technician.

method which seems tight" as the Jar

full brushwork. The flesh tints, defined
IN generous but not too thick impasto,
give a wonderfully warm and sympa-
thetic investiture to a head that is
marvel of sound construction. That is
where you feel the mastery in the
thing, in the manner in which the por-
trait is built up from the inside, every
detail Of structure being consummately
implied. To speak of it as a portrait
by the way, is in no wise to diminish
the force of the title 1t was Rem
brandt's habit to draw his Scriptural
figures from the life about him.
Whistler has fine saying on the point.
He halls Rembrandt as a high priest of
art, who "saw picturesque grandeur and
noble dignity in the Jews quarter of
Amsterdam, and lamented not that its
Inhabitants were not Greeks" In in
terpreting the great figures of the Bible

1t is good news that the Roosevelt
memorial exhibition, which is to be
opened in Avery Hall, at Columbia Uni
versity, on May 3, is to have its arts
tic aspect. Mr.. Freer has promised TO
lend the well known portrait painted
by Mr.. Carl Melchers. The bust by Mr.
James E. Fraser will be included There
will be other portraits, painted and
sculptured, and some bronzes will be
brought up from Oyster Bay A few Of
the best of the innumerable cartoons in
which Colonel Roosevelt figured will
also doubtless be sought out. We hope
that pains will be taken to secure for
the exhibition perfect specimens of the
gold coins designed by the late Angus
tus Saint Gaudens. When Colonel
Roosevelt, as President. took the init
alive in that matter he did one of the
most Characteristic things of his
career He wanted to improve the coin
age, and to do so he went straight TO
the leading American sculptor In such
enterprises he was always farseeng
and helpful. We owe it to him that the
foundations of the Freer Museum, in
Washington, Mr. Freer's magnificent
gift to the nation, were made instantly
secure. He was steadfast supporter
Of the Fine Arts Commission In fact,
the forthcoming show would be lam

In addition to the paintings, which
are traversed in another column to
Day, there have been placed on view at
the American Art Galleries about five
hundred objects of Oriental art from
the collection Of the late Charles Stew
art Smith. They embrace worries and
lacquers, sword guards, pouch buttons,
snuff bottles, jades and rorcelains. The
sword guards are particularly interest
ing, and salient also are the single
color glazes amongst the porcelains

suggest this is a great deal
in my thoughts ?The world is not
going to consist now of great
empires. It is going to consist
for the most part of small ma

thing that can bind small ma

that each wants to treat the
others fairly. That is the only
thing. The world has already
shown that it's progress is in

with people whom you do not
trust and who do not trust you.
Confidence is the basis of every
thing that we must do and it is
a delightful feeling that these
