A Note on
Art in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh long ago made itself felt
in matters Of art through the Carnegie
Institute, but it has shown in other ways
also a constructive relation to the sub
ject. We have lately learned something
about the fact in the course Of inquiries
about young Pittsburgh painter. OBJ
tanning information as to him we gain
some concerning the organization known
as One Hundred Friends of Pittsburgh
Art. This body is composed of sub
scribers to a fund Of 81 900 a year. 1t
has several aims, but one in particular
has already yielded special results. 1t
is the aim Of placing before the chill
dren Of the public schools examples of
good art in the hope that these might
help to form good taste in them and in
some cases serve as an incentive to
artistic activity. Numerous decorations
in our own public schools testify to the
promotion Of kindred policy in New
York, but the Pittsburgh idea has an
individual charm. It contemplates the
pu1CHaee' as A4eaIAy as P1dCtlCdDics CA
thousand dollars worth Of paintings
from the annual exhibition Of the Asso-
ciated Artists Of Pittsburgh, tho paint
ings to be given to the schools. The
artists whose works are selected are
thus doubly encouraged. Their works
are not only bought but they enter per-
manently into the life Of their own town.
The whole scheme is surely ono Of the
wisest and most gracious ever invented
In support Of American art.
The young painter, in search Of whom
we have encountered tho "Friends," is
Mr.. Malcolm 8. PARCEL. His portrait
"Louine" is one Of the twelve works
which have been purchased for a school

Walter Henry Rothwell, leader Of the
Los Angeles (calif) Philharmonic Or

has been engaged to conduct the New
Symphony Orchestra Of the Musicians
New Orchestra Society for ten weeks
OF concerts to be given this summer in
the Lewisohn Stadium of the College of
the City of New York. These CON
certs will begin about the middle of
June and continue until September.
MI Rothwell was invited to conduct
on the strength of his record in Los
mere several years ago, when he direct
ed similar series in Madison Square
Garden.
Artur Bodanzky, conductor Of the
New Symphony, is acting in an ad-
visory capacity for these summer en-
tertalnments. Among other things, he
has suggested that the orchestra be
augmented to 10 men, as against last
summers complement Of eighty-five
men.
The concert will be under the aus
pices of the Music League of the Peo-
pies Institute and a committee of men
and women, among whom are Mines.

The committees announced object is I
to establish summer music on a per-

great mass of the citys residents to
realize that they are vital part of
the scheme and to provide the best in
music for them. The committee be-

the consequent closing of many of the

ment very generously bore the expense
OF returning the collection to New
York. There were 24O works in tho ex-
hlblt1on. Some were by Americans liv-
ing abroad and some were from the
permanent collection in the Luxen-
oourg. About 140 pieces went over from
here. It appears that ten contribu-
tfons were omitted. but this was be-
cause places could not be found for
them in which they would harmonic
with the general arrangement. To that
arrangement the director M. Benedite,
attached very great Importance, and
mo discrimination was made in the
matter of the ten pictures against
modern art as it is termed" 1t is
said, indeed, that among the pictures
hung were eighteen or twenty by paint
ers who are distinctly "modernists." !"
Nevertheless, the American committee.
adopted resolution of protest on the
failure to hang ten Of the paintings,
and 1t has been sent to Paris.
The show was phenomenally success
full, drawing great crowds from the
time Of the opening, on October s. On
Sundays the throng was so great that
the doors had to be closed against the
admission of further visitors. The rov
ernment purchased paintings by Jonas
Lie, Birge Harrison, Glenn o. Coleman.
Ernest 7. Rosen and C. C. Cooper. and
sculptures by A. Stirling Calder and
Paul Manship. Individuals purchased
paintings by Lucille Hit and Grace
Ravlin and sculpture by Cyrus E. Bal

united in doing honor to American art.
The response Of this country to the in

good fruit, and the whole episode will

Twachtman's
Landscapes

1t Is eighteen years since John n.
Iwachtman died. There was a notable
exhibition and sale of his works sftar
ms death, and we saw fine group of
MS paintings at the San Francisco Fair.
since then we have had an admirable
exh1bation of him at the Macbeth Gal
iery, but 1t has been left to the Century
, Club to bring together fairly definitive
collection Of his works. A card from
member will serve to obtain admis-
sion, but we wish this had been made
more of public affair. It conyeys q
moving impression of Twachtman's
great distinction. In the absence Of a
catalogue, and considering the semi
private nature of the show, we need
not attempt to cite particular examples.
lt is enough to state that the collec-
ton ranges through all his periods.
starting from the days when he painted
for the Salon, following more or less
conventional mode Of design in a studio
light, down to the years Of his prime.
when he studied Nature with loyalty to
her own laws of light and atmosphere.
When Twachtman took the plunge
into impressionism he ranked. as a dis
ciple of Monet, but there was so much
originality in him that the link between
him and the master was snapped and
he ended by bettering the thing that
had inspired him. There are pictures |
in this exhibition which Monet could
not have painted any more than he
could have lifted himself up by his
bootstraps: The explanation is simple
enough. Twachtman was infinitely
more than Monet a poet painter, which

 He briefly reviewed his experience in the service of the confederacy and in the days of reconstruction thereafter. He strongly advocated bonus for the American soldier boys. traced in detail lis fight for and support of the cause of prohibition. and urged the people to select as senator a man in sympathy with the enforcement of the prohibition clause. The speaker warned them against selecting any one who would tamper with or weaken the Volstead act, stressing the fact that any effort to permit the sale of light wines and beer would be but the entering wedge to destroy prohibition.
 The meeting was presided over by Attorney J. T. Bealle, Jr., and the ad- dress/of Captain White was frequently interrupted by the applause of the audi ence.
 Captain White issues challenge to any and all of his opponents, and es- pecially Hon. Emmet O'Neal, to debate the subject of permitting the sale oi light wines and beer and the hip pocket flask and said he was ready to meet any of them at any time and place in the state on the subject.
