The Beckford Romneys
From Hamilton Palace

In the biographical and critical es-
say on Romney which was produced
by Humphry Ward and William Rob
erts fifteen years ago, along with a
catalogue raisonne of the painters
works, there is a description of one of
the portraits at Hamilton Palace, the
double portrait of "Nathek" Beckford's
daughters. The elder of these, Mar
garet Maria Elizabeth, married Major
General James Orde. She died at Bath
IN 1918, being then thirty-four. The
younger daughter, Susanna Ephemia.
was married in 1910 to her cousin. the
Marquis Of Douglas, afterward the
tenth Duke of Hamilton. The descrip-
ton aforesaid thus runs: "The elder
sister standing, the younger sitting on
the ground, looking up at her sister:
both IN white muslin dresses lined with
PINK, Margaret having black band
round the waist, muslin cap with pink
ribbons, white stockings and red slip
pers; Susanna having a band round
her head, instead of a cap, and knot on
breast and arms" 1t appears to have
been painted in about fifteen sittines.
and there is record Of Romney having
received from Beckford the sum of
sl05 for his work. The Duveens bought
this canvas the other day at the Ham
ilton Palace sale at Christie's. They
paid for it the tidy sum of s273O00.
The incident is a startling enough H.
lustration of the immense increase in
the value Of old masters which the
competition of recent years has brought
about
The other Romney, just bought by
the Duveens-this one for S84,OOO-is
described in the work just cited as fol-
lows: Full length, standing, right
hand resting on pedestal, with back
ground of trees and broken running
water; blue coat, white waistcoat,
double-breasted and buttoned to neck.
and large collar and vest, yellow
breeches with rosettes at knees, cream
colored stockings and black slippers

THE MISSES BECKFORD
From tho painting by Romney belonging Brother
is thing direct and plangent. He sets

is thing direct and plangent. He sets
it down IN fortnight fashion and
leaves US with a somewhat dissatisfied
feeling. We recognize that we are in
the presence of truth. We wish that it
might be accompanied by more of
beauty, of charm. AS an interpreter of
the wintry countryside, which he spe-
cially loves, bare trees, icy rivers, in
tensely American episodes, he has un-
deniable force and power. He carries
conviction, always. But he gives scant
pleasure. He leaves the imagination
untouched.
Mr.. Carlsen dwells at the opposite
pole. 1t may be that he, too. is de-
sirous occasionally of painting the por-
trait of place. But it is significant
that the only canvas of his in this show
which from its title would seem to be
associated with a definite corner of the
world is entitled, at large, SO to say,
The Caribbean" That is one way of
his limiting that he was interested in
painting before anything else a mass of
color, the radiant blue of sea and sky.
He is essentially q colorist, enamored
of sensuous beauty. His "Surf" misses
the weight and power of great waves.
1t would crumple up beside one of
Winslow Homer's MASTERPIECES. But it
mas an opalesceht radiance of its own,
and to its beauty of color there is
added the accent, the personal touch,
which is half the battle. There is a
certain thin quality In Mr.. Carlsen's
drawing. Witness the insubstantial
character of his tree forms in "The
White Birch" or the want of modelling
IN any of his skies. But color and q
suggestion Of style contrive ALWAYS to
pull him through. In his studies of
still life, for example, they always have
been potent, and they serve on this
occasion to give quality to his deli
cately harmonized portrait of his son.
The group of seven or eight of his
paintings here is made up, on the
whole, OF important" examples, but
the memory with which we leave it is
more particularly of the one unimpor-
tant thing shown, the little beach
scene hanging in corner. The sky is
in low tone, compared with the sort
OF blazing note that Fortuny would
have struck. But it is the kind of
thing that Fortuny might have paint
ed, in its deft, staccato brilliance.
The Macbeth gallery is also IN
terested in Mr.. Carlson. 1t announces

to be held from December 10 to De-
cember 81. Meanwhile, the walls at
this place are covered with eliminate"
pictures by various Americans. These
are mostly small in scale. Landscape
predominates, but there are few
good figure pieces. Mr.. c. w. Haw-
thorne sends capital portrait Of a
girl, kind of Florentine profile en-
veloped in the atmosphere of our own
time. He has always command of a
certain spiritualized mood. This is
one of the most haunting things he
has done. There is captivating little

writes an interesting introduction to

regarded the collection as so important

try in the hope of its being acquired
by some museum. His notes in the

Small Collections Of
American Pictures

E A new gallery has been opened. the
Madison gallery, in West Fifty seventh
Street, and for its initial exhibition 1t
has obtained an unusually good group
OF American paintings, mostly land
scapes. At the head Of the eight ar
lists contributing stands Mr.. Cullen
Yates, with his Autumn" and his
First Snow" He has for q long time
held his own in local shows, but we
recall nothing Of his in the past quite
so admirable as this Autumn" The
spacious scene is brought within the
confines Of free yet we'll knit COM
position. 1t is bathed in cool light and
singling air. The crisp color is stated
with precision and with the proper
Breadth. Best of all, the painting as q
whole has character, individuality 1t
gives US truly personal impression,
ably expressed. The First Snow" is
worthy Of the other picture as a work
manlike performance, though it has
net quite the same vivid, arrestine
quality.
Another artist who we'll asserts him
self in this company is Mr.. H. A. Vim
cent. His elmer Harbor" is a free
study Of shipping, which begins by in
teresting the observer in its racy,
American atmosphere and ends by
making the appeal of just good bit
of painting. The homely picturesque
ness of the scene, generalized with ex-
Ct tlt- tfrk% 81.
basis of delightful scheme of color,
one that is subdued in its richness,
developed for it's own sake yet kept
we'll in hand, in true fidelity to nature.
Mr.. Vincent and Mr. Yates between
them greatly fortify the show. But
their companions are almost uniformly
agreeable in what they exhibit. Mr..
Groll sends one Of his typical desert
scenes, and, to demonstrate that he
can do something else-which he ought
to do oftener-he adds a small spar
king Arizona sketch which is alto
gether winning. There Is landscape
of no particular distinction by Mr..
Robert H. Nisbet, "a Bright Winters
Day." and he, too, deviates to good pur
pose from his accustomed vein and
gives US in the little Haunt of the
Partridge" sylvan study SO beautiful
that we long to see him painting more
pictures like it. Mr.. Spencer Nichols
is the sole imaginative designer of the
group. His picture of "The Pearl, a
Marine Phantasy," is daintily conceived
and we'll carried out. His glowing
hues In this and in the Autumn Gold"
denote taste for which we will be on
the lookout i'm further exhibitions.
At the Ferrargil Gallery two Ameri-
can artists are brought into the fore
ground-Mr. Emil Carlsen and Mr.. E..
W. Redfield. They are very different
types. Mr.. Redfeld is one Of those
painters who seem to remain untouched
by what we can only describe as the
magic implicit in their medium. He
/ handles pigment, If not brutally. then
at all events with no obvious sensi-
tiveness to Its inherent charm. A tone
with him is not subtle thing, thing
Of depth, Of nuances, to be recorded
with a certain tenderness. 1t is, rather,
an affair Of what he sees in nature,
and he sees nature in a dry, almost
harsh light. Tone, as he records it,,

less. What Is the Issue to be? There
is no way of answering the question
now But in thinking about it it is
we'll to keep such remarks as Mr.. van
Dykes in mind. In recalling US to
history, to the past, they give pause
to those who are too ready to dogma
TIE about the future. 1t may be that
we shall get along we'll enough without
tradition. But it is a reasonable hy-
pothesis that without it we may not
only lose some of the most precious
elements of art but discount the value
of what we already possess.

City captured the legislators when the

Of the northwestern part of the state
last week Friday, as mentioned in this
department at that time: 1t surely was
mutually beneficial and pleasing ex-
perience for all concerned, and the
legislators saw thirty or more miles
of paved country roads that convinc-
ed them of the utility and possibility
of that sort of Improvement all over
the state. They have paved with con-
crete in and around Sioux City for
eight years, and every important road
leading out of the city is paved to
width of sixteen to twenty feet, so
that at no time is travel by team or
auto delayed or hindered except by
heavy snow
We made it point to learn how the
Sioux Cityans provided for the ex-
pense of this proposition of having

city and entertained there SO royalty,

Sioux City banks went down for a
thousand dollars-and there you are.
With $500 contributed so easily and
whole heartedly for this legislature ex-
cursion and entertainment the city
got such advertisement and pleasure
! from the occasion that nobody cared
whether it cost the $4,000 that was
spent or the $500 they, were ready
to spend. The main thing was that
there was no mercenary motive back
of the thing-they want good roads
around Sioux City and ask the legis-
lature to make laws that will enable
them to make more and get their
neighboring counties to join up with
their own county roads.

FIREMEN HAVE JUST GRIEVANCE

The Manchester Fire Department,
in attempting to get to the Jonathan
Paisley home last Friday evening, was
seriously Handicapped because of auto
mobile drivers using Franklin street
as a speedway, and then when they
reached North Franklin street, leav-
ing their cars standing directly in
front Of the burning building or else
on the side of street where the fire.
men were to string their lie Of hose.
The firemen actually had to ask a
number of car drivers to move their
cars before they could string the
hose, and consequently were delayed
in getting water on the burning build
ing. On one or two occasions the
Babcock fire engine and an automo-
bile came nearly colliding and if they
had struck either the engine or the
touring car would have been reduced
to wreckage, with the possibility of
someone getting seriously injured If
not killed.
The exercise of little common
sense on the part of the people rush
ing to fires will aid the fire depart
ment very much in their work, and
may, incidentally, prevent accidents.
