At later periods the Jews adopted
many customs of the peoples who sue
cessively obtained power over them
and in the apocryphal book of the
Maccabees is found this allusion to
the art of decorating, For as the mas
ter builder of new house must care
for the whole building, but he that
undertaken to set it out and paint 1t,
must seek out things for the adorning
thereof"
Although Homer gives credit to
Greek for the discovery of paint, the
illusions to it in the books of Moses,
the painted mummy cases of the Egyp-
tians and the decorated walls of Baby
Ion and Thebes fix its origin at
period long Mtecedent to the Grecian
era. The walls of Thebes were paint
ed 1900 years before the coming of
Christ and 996 years before "'Omer
smote his blOomin' Tyre"
The Greeks recognized the value Of
paint as a preservative and made use
of something akin to it on their ships.
Pliny writes of the mode Of boiling
wax and painting ships with it, after
which, he continues, neither the sea,
nor the wind, nor the sun can destroy
the wood thus protected"
The Romans being essentially a
warlike people, never brought the dec
oration Of buildings to the high plane
1t had reached with the Greeks. For
all that the ruins of Pompeii show
many structures whose mural decOra-
tons are in fair shape today. The
colors used were glaring. A black
background was the usual one and the
combinations worked thereon red, yell
low and blue
In the early Christian era the use Of
m0saics for churches somewhat sup
planted mural painting. Still, during
the reign Of Justinian the Church Of
Saint Sophia was built at Constantine
pie and its walls were adorned with
paintings.
In modern times the uses of paint
have come to be as numerous as it's
myriad shades and tints. Paint Ia.
unique in that it's name 1as no synO-
nym and for 1t there Is no substitute
material. Bread is the staff of life, but
paint Is the life Of the staff
No one thinks of the exterior Of
wooden building now except in terms
Of paint coated. Interiors, too, from
painted walls and stained furniture
down to the lowliest kitchen utensil,
all receive their protective covering.
| Steel, so often associated with cement
reinforcing, is painted before 1t goes
to give solidity to the manufactured
stone. The huge girders of the sky
scrapers are daubed an ugly but eff
cient red underneath the surface coat
of black. Perhaps the best example
of the value of paint on steel is found
in the venerable Brooklyn bridge, on
which a gang Of painters is kept 60
ing continually. 1t is scarce possible
to think Of single manufactured ar
ticle which does not meet paint some
where in the course Of its construc-
ton. So has paint grown into the

ANTIQUITY OF
DECORATIVE ART
Strange Sources From Which
Pigments Used by Modern
Painters Are Derived.
PRESERVATION OF SURFACES
Crude but Effective Processes Employ
ed by the Egyptians and Greeks Of
PIiny's Day-Noah PrudentIy
Waterproofed the Ark.

Whether paint was invented In an
swer to need for a preservative or to
meet desire for beauty is a question
fully as knOtty as the ancient one about
the relative time of arrival Of the
chicken or the egg. 1t was invented,
though, and it serves both purposes
equally; so whether it is an offspring
of mother necessity or an adopted son
of beauty remains forever a disputed
question.
The first men, covering under the
fierce and glaring suns of the biblical
countries, constructed rude huts OF
wood to shelter them. The perishable
nature Of these structures caused rapid
decay, and it is probable that the oc-
cupants, seeking some artificial means
Of preservation, hit upon the pigments
of the earth in their search. 1t is per-
haps natural to suppose that it was
the instinct of preservation that led
men to the search, although the glOries
of the sunsets and the beauties of the
rainbow may have created a desire to
initiate those wonders in their own
dwellings,
The earliest record of the applica-
ton of a presevative to a wooden
structure dates from the ark, which
was, according to the Bible, pitched
within and without" The pitch was a
triumph of preservation whatever 1t
lacked as a thing of beauty.
Decoration applied to buildings first
comes to light with ancient Babylon.
whose walls were covered with repre-
sentations of hunting scenes and Of
combat. These were done in red and
the method followed was to paint the
scene on the bricks at the time of
manufacture, assuring permanence by
baking. Strictly speaking, this was
not painting so much as it was the
earliest manifestation of our own fa-
miliar kalsOmining.
The first Hebrew to mention paint
ing is Moses In the thirty third chap
ter of the book of Numbers he in
structs the Israelites, "When We have
passed over the Jordan into the land
of Canaan

few weeks ago we had luncheon
with Smiling Bill" Parsons at the
Aston MI Parsons chose the Astor be-
cause he says they have the best ice
cream in the world. We ordered grape
fruit first, and Bill-Smiling Bill Par
sons-said, Bring me a raspberry ice
at the same time Next we ordered
baked sausage and sweet potatoes, and
our host said Bring me some tutti-
/ fruitti ice cream" And when we or
dered endive salad he said, 81 think I'll
have some vanilla ice cream with choc-
olate sauce" This is quite true, al
though it doesn't sound so.
We went to the luncheon in the first
place because Ralph Block asked US TO-,
but we remained to praise" and we
have Mr.. Block to thank for having
added to our list such an infectiously
smiling person.
Said we to Bill--Smiling Bill Par
sons: "If we tell the truth about you
no one will believe it. It sounds too
good to be true"
"rell it this way and 1t WON'T" re-

Parsons used to be an insurance
agent. He was the kind Of insurance
agent they write up in the magazines
under the heading, What This Poor
Simp Accomplished Why Can't You? p
He travelled pretty nearly everywhere
over the globe, selling insurance pol
icies wherever he could find anybody
with enough iron men to buy them. In
this way he amassed good sized roll
enough, at least, to set him up as e
producer. His first fame in the films
came as producer of 'Tarzan of the
Apes which added to the wad, and
managed to persuade him he'd be pretty
good on the screen himself. This
wasn't long after John Bunny fetired
from this sorry scheme of things, and
somebody suggested to Parsons he
would be whale of success as e pict-
ure player. despite my natural
prejudices, honesty compels me to say
that l got away with it,
"1n his travels he used TO pene-
trate pretty nearly everywhere, and got
to see lot of strange people, Orien-
tai potentates, English dukes, South
American revolutionists, etc After
while he had a feeling that he was
seeing life, but he had no way of
making his experiences permanent.
Talking to these strange fry, he saw
many extraordinary things, and he be-
gan to feel that the world would be

Theatre motion picture producers have
been trying to secure it for the screen.
Only few months ago Mr.. Golden re-
fused certified check representing a
fortune for the cinema rights of "Turn
to the Right" loath to part with a play
which was bringing in large royalties
from the road every week.
There is q scarcity at present of
scenario material of sufficient value to
furnish the programmes for the picture
theatres de luxe like the Rivoli, Rialto,
Strand and the new Capital Theatre,
which will shortly open at Fifty first
Street and Broadway. A syndicate
will soon operate q chain of theatres
from Maine to California which will
run only the big programmes from

ure men are preparing to lay in a

Henry, at least, during office hours; we
come to a full belief In an underlying
esponsibleness In him. There returns
to US the plant of one married lady
to another in the days of their early
middle age: "When l was a girl, OF
course, liked to see the heroes young
and terribly good looking and all
dressed up, with exciting things hap
pening to them. But now l feel so left
out of things like that, ] feel as if
they would just snub everything I was
interested in and anyhow ! want to say
to them, well, you don't interest me,
cither! Don't you think it's silly of
them" (appealing to her friend) "never
to have men that are really interesting,
like our husbands?" Henry Minor is
the triumphant response to that appeal.
There is sense in which he is Every
woman's Husband, or, at any rate, every
American husband, however much nicer
he may be than that one of Cara's, in
whom we cannot imagine what she
ever saw, or however much less DAZZLING
than that one Of Mary's, so terribly
good looking and all dressed up, like a
young hero to whom exciting things
might happen, that we cannot imagine
how she ever caught him; yet there will
be something Of Henry Minor in him if
he is really husband ct all.
We are told that when Sidney Drew
died nearly fifty unreleased pictures
were completed, and not only these,
but all in existence, can, of course, be
long reissued. But even when Polly's
pretty dresses have become old-fash
Toned and the Ford and hivver man
ners of our day are left FAR behind
the interest Of days when everybody
bitches his aeroplane to his front
steps, even if fire should explode
every scrap Of celluloid that holds the
record of our Minors, the most i'm
portant thing about them will persist
the fact that they called upon some
thing honorable in public taste and
that the public shonorably responded.
That is what has put faith into the
effort all about US. We shall never
have on the screen q human and
simple comedy which is not In this
sense stamped with the legend, "Mr.
and Mrs. Sidney Drew present.
