Young Painter Designs
Scenery for New PLAY

James W. E. Reynolds, mural
painter, has stepped off his ladder to
design the scenery and costumes for
Stuart Walkers production Of Lord
Dunsany's "The Tents Of the Arabs, /"
which will be feature of the new bill
at the Punch and Judy Theatre,
March 3.
Though but twenty-three years old,
Mr.. Reynolds has already executed
some very important commissions, in
Guiding the decoration, 1.-THE Bringing
of Helen to Troy" in the clubroom
of the "Yale Dramat," the dramatic
organization Of Yale University. He
has also to his credit tryptch in
the library Of Franklin J. Walls, of
New Haven, apes and Ivory" in
spired by the poem by Alfred Noyes
of that name, as we'll as eight panels
done for the Princess Noureddin Vlora
and now in the salon of her Paris
home, and a set of four decorative
panels Of Tartar Chinese characters.
in the drawing room Of Mrs Edwin
Wilson.
Reynolds is of British and American
ancestry, was born at Warrenton, Va
and is a granddaughter of General War
rem, of Civil War fame.
The Dunsany play will be Mr.. Rey-
nolds's first work as scenic artist
The mural painter and the designer
Of scenes are concerned with similar
problems, according to Mr. Reynolds,
and many Of his interesting theories
of stage decoration will be given ex-
preston in his designs for "The Tents

r N the galleries of the Carnegie In
Il stitute, at Pittsburgh, there will be
opened on Founders Day, in April, an
exhibition which New York may we'll
envy. 1t will be devoted entirely to
the work of Abbott II. Thayer, present
ing thoroughly representative group
of his pictures. Many private colec-
tions are being drawn upon for the
purpose, and the result promises to be
remarkable. We have never had mas
ter richer than Thayer in originality
and beauty.
Beginning tomorrow, and continuing
for two weeks, there will be an exhibit
ton at Pratt Institute Of Autographs
by Mr.. Bolton Brown. In connection
with it there will be placed on the floor
Of the gallery complete photographic
printing plant, with stones, etc. Messrs.
Bellows, Sloan, Stcrncr, Pam and
others, on different days, will make
drawings on these stones, in public,
and Mr.. Brown, as printer will then
take them in hand and, on successive
days, etch, roll up and print. The cx-
ccllent idea is thus to give any inter
estcd person a chance 10 see and I'M
derstand the operations involved in the
making of lithograph.
The miniature Academy just held at
the Macbeth gallery is to be succeeded
by another at the same place, opening
on Wednesday, This time there will be
thirty paintings by thirty artists.
Among the exhibits are promised a
newly discovered George Inness, ex-
amplcs Of Whistler and Ryder, and
three of the most important works just
shown by the Ten American Painters
at the Corcoran gallery, in Washington.
There is an enchanting show at the
Durand- Ruel galleries of paintings by
Eugene Boudin, who is nominally reck-
oned as an ally of the IMPRESSIONS
group, but whose place has always been
peculiarly his own. We call it en-
chanting because it is SO blthe an
affair, so full of light and charming
color, so rich in certain animation of
the spirit. There is wonderful lit
little beach scene here, "vue de la mer
Berck," which, in it's serenity and its
subtly managed grays. might almost
have been painted by Whistler, but, on
the whole. Boudin had another out
look He was Indifferent to "arrange-
mcnts." Where he is akin to the I'M
pressionists is in the dircctness of his
vision, the swift truth which he gets
into his pictures. AS craftsman

course, works by Degas, whose collec-
lions have SO recently been Dispersed
Far March the opening has been set
for rooms devoted to worries, Tanagras
and Egyptian art, and in the rooms
ordinarily given to drawings a certain
number of pictures, including some of
the most important, will be tempo
rarily hung.
The collection of drawings, M. Re
mond surmises, will be subjected to
reorganization. The public will be adj
mitted to the regular painting rooms
as they are gradually put in order, the
walls repainted the staff brought up
to its normal strength and the install
lation thoroughly completed. 1t will
take about six months - at what we
venture to characterize as a sanguine
estimate-for the Louvre to regain it's
former condition. The paintings and

other works Of art transported to Tou-
louise have on the whole suffered very
little from their flight and return.
Meanwhile they are photographed as
they are unpacked and special COM
mission has been formed to pass upon
any needed measures of restoration.
M. Remond traverses in a mood almost
dithyrambic the masterpieces already
brought back before the public and al
ludes appreciatively to the crowds, full
Of soldiers of all nations, including our
own, thus far observed in the old halls.
One can sympathize with him and re-
joice. 1t warns the heart to think of
the French returning so quickly and
with such ardor to their beloved
Louvre, now, thank God, secure. Has
not their love of the beautiful, their
fidelity to the works of the spirit, been
one of the springs of that strength of
soul which made their victory newt
able?

list. Everything possible was done to
affirm the rightful status Of the Ameri-
lean school.
There is the whole pont-to bring
American sculpture into the fore
ground, to enhance its merits by cx-
posing them with every circumstance
OF dignity and authority, to increase
public knowledge and appreciation of
what our artists arc doing. The pre-
else outlines of tho show have neces-
sarily been modified, ns was expected.
The sculptures came from various
soufces, among others from the stu
dios in which they were modelled. The
nrtiats could not in oil cases donate
their works. Some Of the latter have
been retired and others have taken
their places. But the lesson of the
ensemble remains, and 1t is one to
awaken unaffected pride, Furthermore,
the enterprise has already borne tan
gible fruits. More than one exhibit
has passed permanently into tho pos
session of the museum, and it is good
to know that the trustees are taking
greater and more active interest in
American sculpture. Announcements
In the not too distant future will en-
phasize this. Could anything be more
delightful than for an American artist
to see work of his in this collection,
presented in plaster, transformed into
bronze through the intervention Of the
museum and placed forever in that re-
pository?
There remains but one thing needed
Originally the American sculpture in
the museum was not so imposing in
bulk but that it could be distributed
at the foot of the great staircase, flow
ing up the latter and around into ad-
jacent space on the upper floor. Some
of it still appears in its old locality.
Mac Monnies's "Bacchante," Bartlett's
Bear Tanner" and Borglum's "Horses"
continue their watch by the stairs. The
small bronzes also remain where they
were, and the group of works by Saint
Gaudens-the reduction Of the Sher-
man "Victory" and numerous reliefs-
maintains its old honorable isolation.
But in time all the examples of the
school will have to be pulled together
and even before that arrangement ar
rives there is occasion for the need of
which we speak to be filled. If the
museum is not in a position to under
take it unaided some generous donor
might come to the rescue and see that
an exhaustive catalogue, fully illus
trated, is prepared. 1t should cover
everything, all the visible sculptures
and such as are not on constant view.
A book Of this kind would be justified
by the Importance of the subject, and
it would be valued for purposes Of ref
erence everywhere.

The Louvre Reopening

When the war broke out one of the
first things the French did, character
istically, was to safeguard as many Of
their treasures of art as they could.
The Louvre was dismantled. The
Venus dc Milo made as early as the
middle Of August, 1914, hurried fight
to the security of Toulouse, and in
that southern city, itself rich in ar
tistic wealth, great masses of the pat
rimony of Paris found asylum. No
fewer than three thousand canvases
we're sheltered there. Now, as is told
in "L'lllustration,' journal that is
giving special attention to questions Of
the sort, the great museum by the
Seine is being slowly reopened. The
supreme Venus is back upon her old
pedestal, and in the little picture of
her that is given it is interesting to
see that one member of the group
standing in admiration at her feet is a
French officer The armies of Franco
stood between her and incarceration
in Berlin.
The Assyrian and Egyptian halls are
open once more. The Renaissance
bronzes and medals are again on view,
and in exposing anew the great collec-
ton Of Italian faience, the platters Of
Cubic, the Deruta bowls and SO on,
the authorities have taken the oppor-
tunity to give them a better installa-
ton than thew had before. The thrill
ing Victory of Samothrace, shorn now
Of the protective coverings in which
she was envelopcd during the war, to-
day as of yore is lifted proudly on the
central platform of the Escalier Daru.
There, by the same token, M. RGmcnd,
Of ILLUSTRATION" had to pause. He
could just glimpse the frescocs Of Bot
ticelli in their familiar places above
the staircase, but barriers and curtains
forbade exploration of the halls Of
painting. However, the process Of re-
opening was even then being urged
forward. There was promised for
early in February an exhibition in the
sale Lacaze Of acquisitions accumu-
lated during the war--thc Arconati-
ylsconti, Schlichting and Galichon be-
quests, gifts from M. Camille Benoit

the obvious skill with which he draws
and summarizes-the yards and cord
age Of winged shipping, but the de-
lectable precision with which he defines
all, the forms in his crisp, compact COM
positions. His color is pure and vivid.
His airs are pellucid, brilliant. Few
painters could touch him in the mod

superb. He is not always as felicit-
ously pictorial as in "Le Quai des Es-

The current show at the Whitney

simply, Romance" Two lovers fore

in the big batik for a Wilmington
hotel, the gorgeous Hospitality" but
in all his work there is light touch,
quality Of refined taste, an emotion
bordering on tenderness, which helps
us to recognize a poetic strain in his
gayety.
Miss Hoffman is a kindred spirit.
She shows a number of we'll executed

part of her Yprkmanlike art, but ad
mirable as these are we find her more
characteristic note in the now we'll
