Josef Holbrooke's Adventures
Touring the West Indies

E. K, in "The London Daily Tele-
graph" gives the following account of
Josef Holbrookes recent tour of the
West Indies:
Josef Holbrooke is back from his
three months trip to the West Indies,
where mangoes are more plentiful than
music and he found his experiences of
concert giving with Vasco Akeroyd
more than a little delectable He has
not come home, frankly he confesses,
with fortune. But he has brought
back a host of pleasant recollections
and incidentally a goodly stock of
native digging songs, of which he
hopes to make use in some form or
other. His ~colored" audiences, by the
way, took more kindly to the disso-
nances of some of Debussy's preludes
than to Schumann or Chopin - from
which you may draw any moral you
please. And there was no lack of ap-
probation for the violin sonatas of
Beethoven. Elgar, Eranck, Strauss and
John Ireland.
Altogether Mr.. Holbrooke gave some
fifteen concerts-Kingston, Vaudeville,
Port Antonio, Port Maria, st. Anne's
Bay and Montego Bay (where the cocoa
nuts fourlsh) being among the places
visited. There is no Queens Hall in
the islands. The nearest approach to
a building at all suitable for music
making that Mr.. Holbrooke found avail
able was the Ward Theater att Kings
ton. For the rest, he had 10 ba con-
tent with courthouses, small mission
halls and the like. But the people
j. e., the agents were always very
obliging," he said, with twinkle.
They never would charge anything for
the hall. But by the time you had
paid for the kerosene oil, for the
candles, for the old woman who brought
in the chairs, and for other 'sundries,
you found yourself with two or three
pounds left over" Still it was very
good fun-even at 80 IN the shade,
he added with another laugh.

National Symphony
Orchestra Has List
Of New Players

An analysis of its list of players
for next season shows change in the
personnel of the National Symphony
Orchestra. The change involves al
most two-thirds of the hundred men
who played with the orchestra dur
ing the season 1919 and 1920.
The new players come from the
Boston Symphony Orchestra, the
Philadelphia Orchestra and the Phil
harmonic Orchestra. the Detroit
Symphony, Cleveland Cincinnati, Chi
cago Opera, Vienna Opera. Of the
men who last year composed the New
Symphony, now the National, thirty
eight remain.
Taking the orchestra by sections,
there will be nine new first violins out
of sixteen; nine new second violins
out of fourteen; eleven new violas
out of twelve; six new 'cellos out of
ten; six new basses out of eight. The
three trombones coming from the
Philharmonic Orchestra will all be
new. The English horn is also from
the Philharmonic. There will be one
new harpist, two new tympani play
ers, two trumpets, one horn, one oboe
and three clarinets. Only the bas-
soons, with Benjamin Kohon as first,
and the flutes remain untouched
Scipione Guidi, who was concert
master last season, will return from
Italy to resume that position. The
second concert-master will be Adolph
Bak, for twenty years with the Bos-
ton Symphony Orchestra. Otto Roth,
also long member of the Boston
Symphony. viii be found among the
first viohns, Cornelius Van Vlet re-
mains as &rst 'cellist. Daniel Maquarre
continues as first fautist. S. Robert
Sterne is the orchestra manager.
Hans Werner, previously with the
Detroit Symphony, will play first
violin.
Many of the new men are now play
ing in the orchestra at the Stadium
concerts under Walter Henry Roth
well. 1t is expected that the organi-
cation will be a harmonious whole be-
fore Artur Bodanzky begins re-
hearsals in September for the winter
season of seventy concerts. Mr..
Bodanzky will conduct half of these
concerts, the other half being under
the baton of Willem Mengelberg, the
celebrated conductor, of Amsterdam,

AT Home and Abroad
Fftieth Anniversary Exhibition at the Metropolitan
Museum Draws Summer Tourists as
Well as Resident Art Lovers

jects is also shown in the exhibition
among them "The Christ Presented TO
the People" the large Three
Crosses" and the Hundred Guilder
Plate"
Many Of the prints which are most
artistic are among the smallest, such
as the Burial of Christ" and THE
Presentation" There are notable ex-
amples of these in the Rembrandt coll
lection.
The manner of the French at this
time is interesting. A curious at
tempt was made TO etch IN imitation
of engraving. Jacques Callot, of
Nancy, used this method Wenzel
Hollar, originally of Prague, but long
attached to the English court, rep
resents perhaps the simplest etching
of the time. Much of his work was
with architectural plates, such as
that of the Antwerp Cathedral, and the
technique and purpose OF these has
endeared them to many a collector.
Etching In Italy
In Italy etching at this time was rep
resented by Benedetto Castigl;one, who
came under Rembrandts influence,
but whose subject matter, most of it,
was his own. Later, in the eighteenth
century, the most notable painter
etchings were made in Italy. where
the influence of the linear method of
Callot can be traced
Original etching during the eighteenth
century was practiced little in
France, In England also, except as
social caricature, there was little
original etching during this period.
The work of Hogarth, however,
though coarse in texture, deserves
degree of credit because of its strong
grasp of character
AT the end of the eighteenth CEN
tury comes the work of Gova. the
spaniard. He is generally regarded
as the greatest etcher Of the nine
teenth century.
A so-called revival of etching took
place in England and France about
the middle of the last century. Amonr
the figures of this movement those
who have enjoyed greatest favor are
Meryon. Millet, Haden and Whistler.
Each of these is represented by
small group of etchings in the exhibi-
ton
An exceptional gift of prints adds
interest to the exhibitions at the
metropolitan Museum. The donor of
TINS gift, thirty prints of great beauty
and Importance, prefers to remain
anonymous. There are three Van
Dycks, five Durers, and twenty-five
Rembrandts.

New-York tribune., 1920-07-25

This is the time when the tourists
include the Metropolitan Museum of
Art in their rounds of places of in
terest in New York. Early in the sum-
mer the records showed that the
fftieth anniversary exhibitions had
attracted far more than the usual num-
ber of visitors. The attendance has
increased greatly in the last month,
but according to the museum authori-
ties the greater numbers now may not
be checked directly to the exhibitions
They are modest enough to attribute
this later summer increase to the
tourists who would visit the museum
anyway as part of their sightseeing
trips.
Another element which has added to
the attendance is the summer school
student. From the various colleges
summer school students visit the
museum in groups, large and small,
sometimes especially large, two hun
dred from Columbia having made the
visit in one party recently.
Few new pieces have been added to
the displays in the last month. The
loan exhibitions we're completed sew
cral weeks ago, and their dismantline
Will not begin until some time in Sep
tember, it is believed. The definite
date. for closing the fiftieth anniver-
sary exhibition has not been set. and it
is hoped to extend part of it at least
into the fall because many persons
who left the city for the summer have
not been able to enjoy it. The work
of returning the loans will be done
gradually, according to the program
now, and the museum will not be closed
TOR readjustment, as it was before the
anniversary exhibition opened.
Exhibition of Prints
One of the loan exhibitions in the
print galleries has attracted much at
tention from visitors. There histor-
ical exhibition of engravings, etchings
and wood cuts has been arranged. I'M
portant loans were made for this dis
play, there being eighty-six engrav-
ings, VT etchings, las relief prints and
eightyfour books illustrated by these
processes in the galleries.
The selections were made with q
view to illustrating by typical master
pieces the more important episodes in
the history of relief and intaglio proc
esses of making printed pictures.
Few reproductive" prints are shown,
emphasis being laid upon those of
Original" character.
The etching process was used by
metal workers for the decoration Of
arms and armor long before it was
employed for making plates from which
pictures were printed. In the fifteenth
century some member of the HOPPER
family at Augsburg used the process
IN printing pictures. The earliest
etching which can be dated is the por-
trait Of Kunz Won der Rosen by Daniel
HOPPER, and this is obviously not a
first attempt. Like other early etch-
lngs, this was made on iron The car
liest etchings on copper were really dry
points. The first true etchings on
copper, the metal ever since currently
used for the purpose, did not appear
until about 1920, when Lucas of Ley
den made little group of them Of
these the portrait Of the Emperor
Maximilian has the added interest Of
being the first print in the making of
which both etching anc engraving were
used.

Music Notes

Under the impre ssion that the artist
was in want, friends of the Hungarian
violinists Fubay, recently sent him sub
stantial contributions. According to
his nephew, Charles Hubay, now living
in New York, the funds have been
gratefully received, but the violinist
wishes to correct the erroneous report
of his impoverished condition.
s. Bottenheim, personal representa-
tive of Willem Mengelberg, of Amster-
dam, Holland, arrived in New York
recently to arrange final details for
the appearance of the Dutch conductor
with the National Symphony Orches-

Nine. Melba sang in concert recently
with the Royal Albert Hall Orchestra
under Mr.. Landon Ronald at Queen S

Etchings Typical of Period

In pure landscape etchings those of
Augustin Hirschvogel are typical of
the first half of the sixteenth CEN
tury. Until toward the end of the six
teenth century etching everywhere
was calligraphic in character. The
first important break toward the loss
of individual line in masses of
shadow is found in such prints as the
Dancing Nymphs," of Adam Elz-
heimer.
The calligraphic manner persisted
longer in Flanders than in Holland.
Much of the best of the Flemish
seventeenth century work was done
IN 1t, examples of this being the
Saint Catherine by Rubens, and the
portraits of Johannes Snellinx and
Jan Breughel by Van Dyck.
Rembrandt is the next important
personality to appear in etching. He
was one of the best technical etchers
and created the most renowned etched
pictures. Attention is called TO
landscapes, such as the Three
Gabled Cottages" the view OF Am
sterdam,'' the Cottage and Hav
Barn. and Cottages Beside a Canal. !"
Among the portraits are those of Jan
Six, Jan Lutma, Old Haaring. Clement
