A Friend in Need.

FAMOUS PAINTINGS OF THE
EXODUS.
Continued from Page 9

animal life without any landscape
background.
Murillo in his "Moses Striking the
Rock of Horeb" in the Seville Hospi-
tai, has painted us a wandering tribe
of -spaniards, bearing pottery basins
and jugs and directing their children
and cattle towards the stream of
water. 1t is picturesque in it's va
riety of type and costume, but has
no special dramatic feeling, until we
get to the central figure, which is
that of a man crouching with in
tense eagerness, and with certain
greedy thirstiness, directly under the
gushing water as it bursts from the
side of the cliff. This parsonage is
unlike the others in it's emotion
and in feature-one even suspects it
might have been painted from Jew
ish model and his garments and his
elaborate silver ever seem to differ
entiate him from the crowd of Span
ish about him.
The life of Moses is the motif of
many of the frescoes in the Sistine
Chapel in Rome. Piero di Cosimo
has most tragic portrayal of
s"Phaorah overwhelmed in the Red
Sea-" wherein the artist, curious as
to anatomy and expression, has been
very much interested in rendering
the faces of men drawn and distorted
in fear and agony, weighed down as
they are by heavy armour and the
elaborate and rich trappings of their
horses as the sea rushes upon them.
In Botticelli's 'Seven Scenes in the
Life of Moses" painted as one large
fresco, we can follow his adventures
from one part of the picture to an
other, as was so often done in that
period when there were so many
huge wall spaces to cover. Moses is
depicted as rather Germanic Flor
entine, much like the portraits that
have come down to us of BOtticelli
himself; but Aaron is handsome
young Jew with curly beard, twisted
turban, striped burnous, conspicuous
as the one in the picture that looks
distinctively oriental, and especially
Hebraic in certain saddened gaze.
The lovely slender daughters OF
Jethro at the we'll are pale and list
less, whiting in their diaphanous
draperies, as Botticelli loved them
in intellectual Florence, and as GER
tainly they never could have existed
in the robust time of the Exodus.
Signorelli painted great fresco
in the Vatican entitled "Scenes in the
Life of Moses" which is an impress
sive frieze of stately impressive hui
man beings in contemporary or
classic dress. The painter has shown
very little interest in the story and
great deal in covering the wall in
decorative fashion with beautifully
drawn groups, just threaded together
by common centre--Moses. Above
the frieze of personages are three
smaller scenes that are very lovely.
Then come the two masters who
were the climax of this wonderful
period, Raphae13 and Michelangelo.
From the first, we have in the Log
gias, story after story, not only of
the Exodus, but of many other parts
of the Old Testament, composed and
painted by Raphael and his school of
prodigiously talented and thoroughly
tr ined artists. whose rhythmic sense
of line, perception of womanly and
manly beauty, and whose simple
grandeur in relating the passionate
scenes in the Biblical history, are un-
surpassed He has given us the He

Harding Gets Judge
W. q. Taft's Advice
by Associated Pressl

MARION, Dec. 24.-President-
elect Harding turned to former
President Taft today for counsel
on the world peace problem and
on practical details of organizing
the next administration. The con-
florence was arranged at Mr.. Hard
ing's request and is understood to
have concerned particularly the
proposal for new international
court in which the former presi-
dent has been interested for many
eyars.
Mr.. Taft was supporter Of the
Versailles league, but has taken
the attitude that some different
agency now must be organized to
stabilize world conditions.
Another subject on which the
President-elect wanted informa-
tion and advice was the proposed
reorganization Of the executive
branch of the government. Mr..
Taft mad study OF that problem
and appointd an efficiency COM
mission to undertake the work OF
reorganization.

at the Empire Theatre seems quite a
different person. Perhaps his is a like
case to Bruce McRae's. That actor never
in his career did anything so fine as his
tipsy scene in THE Gold Diggers." Like
Mr.. Merivale and most actors he does
his best under the Belasco aegis
Frank Conroys acting in THE Bad
Man" represents the modern style in Its
best estate. He is natural and yet never
literal James Gleason's share in "The
Charm School" had much of this same
fine quality, but the feeling that Mr..
Gleason has not yet found the role which
is going to show his talents at their
best will not down. James Crane as an
actor of melodrama made a favorable
impression within the limits allowed by
Owen Davis. Indeed. there is an ample
supply % talented young men on the
stage to-day TO carry on the best tradi-
tions of their artistic ancestry.
III Mr.. Ben-Ami cares to study their
methods he will undoubtedly observe one
principle which is altogether missing
from his own acting-the conviction that
the actor must struggle to make his eff
forts produce an illusion of life. 1t may
be difficult to appear bizarre, eccentric
and original ii is much more important
to draw a character which is recogniz-
able is a human being.
