Cauguin's Famous Offer
That No One Needed

twenty years ago the painter Gau-
gum attempted to find fifteen mr.
chasers for his pictures at $40 each
lie had left a thankless Paris TO on
into the South Seas, to paint new tvpes
and new subjects and to found q new
school of painting. In MANY months
ne did not make a cent out of his
work. 1t possibly was through des-
peration that he wrote the letter now
published in the international Stud;o
magazine to his friend, Georges-Daniel
de Montfreid, which in part is as fol-
lows:
Find about fifteen people who either
understand my work or who wish tn
make money out of it. Make them this
proposal: Each year will send them
h1teen good canvases in advance, done
ike the former ones. For this smer-
chandise' these people will send me
2,4oo francs year, which means less
than 16o francs each. It is certain
that my pictures are not expensive at
that price"
Yet these fifteen purchasers were not
found. But the confidence the artist
had in himself was prophetic. To-day
good Gauguin is worth $4,000.

Mascagni admits that the opera was
composed with a view to pleasing the
public of South America, for probably
nowhere else, except in Rome, is the
maestro so great a favorite. About ten
years ago he received an ovation
when he went there to direct the per-

peramental exhibitions were source
of enjoyment to the Argentines. When
he landed at Buenos Ayres and was
greeted with enthusiasm, with band

sheer JOY. The only disappointment
felt was that when he had arrived he
spent every day at the opera house
rehearsing "1sabeau," and no engage
ment, however pressing, was kept until
after the first night. A banquet had
then been prepared in his honor. When
after 2 o'clock in the morning he had
rot yet arrived, his impresario. Wal
ter Mocchi, went to fetch him and
found him getting ready to go to bed.
Only by much coexing was he induced
to attend the banquet.
All Italian institutions invited him
to special ceremonies, but as he was
generally tired after the performances
he would often accept an engagement
and then not appear. Hiss impresario
had hard time, for he had ordered
the playbills to be printed in way
which did not please Mascagni who
calmly locked himself in his room and
refused to attend the opening perform

cede, so he sent the manager, a quiet,
docile man, who first pleaded outside
the door, and then, when admitted by
the maestro, begged on his knees that
he would relent. The sight of this

spective loss of 10000 pesetas, if the
money had to be given back to the

Ends Organ
RecitaIs at Columbia

Professor Samuel A. Baldwin, head
Of the Department of Music at the Col
lege of the City of New York, has
closed series of sixty organ recitals
given on Sunday and Wednesday after
moons during 192o-'21.
In these recitals at the College of
the City of New York the great hall
and its splendid organ are dedicated
to the service of the city, no charge
being made for admission.
The programs for the season just
passed contained 500 numbers and 2S6
different compositions, eighty eight of
which were given for the first time at
these recitals. Since the organ at the
College of the City of New York was
dedicated on February II, 1908, there
have been 6,132 performances of 1855
different works, including every school
of organ composition, as well as many
transcriptions for the instrument.

Damroscf1 Conducts American
Compositions i'm London

Walter Damrosch, conductor of
the New York Symphony Orchestra,
directed a program of American music
in London on June 16 as a feature Of
the Congress of the British Music So
ciety. On this occasion the orchestra
was the London Symphony and the pro-
gram consisted of John Alden Carpen-
ter's "In a Perambulator" suite, two
movements from the "Indian suite" by
the late Edward MacDowell, the dirge
and village festival, and excerpts from
Damroschs own music for "Iphigenia
in Aulis" and electra"
Before leaving Paris for London Mr..
Damrosch received visit from Louis
Gutenberg, winner of the Harry Hark-
ness Flagler prize of $1,000 for SYM
phonic composition by an American.
Mr.. Gutenberg played for Mr.. Dam
rosch the piano score Of the prize work.
The orchestral parts are now being pre-
pared by the Symphony Society copy
lists under the supervision of the COM
poser, who recently arrived in New
York.
Mr.. Gruenberg's composition is called
"The Hill of Dreams," and was de-
clared by the judges to be the best
orchestral work from among the COM
positions of more than eighty other
American composers. The judges who
decided this contest were Leopold Sto-
kowski, John Alden Carpenter, George
w. Chadwick, Franz Kneisel and Wal
ter Damrosch. The prize composition
will be played by the New York Sym
phony Orchestra at the first Aeolian
Hall Sunday afternoon concert to be
given October 80.

Random Impressions
I'm Current Exhibitions

There are some outstanding features
about the exhibitions Of painting at the
Salmagundi Club with regard to which
the summer exhibition, just opened
there, is in point. One Of these is the
opportunity and service offered to the
artist member--young and old alike.
In an essentially artistic environment
where artists meet and give frank, in
formal exchange of ideas and criti
csm, the exhibitor doubtless very
other than in a material way, from
having his pictures shown there There
appears also to be ample encourage
ment for the new exhibitor, who finds
work. The present show is Characters
tically large and reveals wide variety
of talent and experience. Quite the
showiest picture is E. l.. Ipsen's "The
quantity beautiful in subject and flooded
with sunlight, though it is possible that
the artist was given to idealizing in
it. If there is anything artistic in the
homeliest of barnyard subjects, Edward
c.. Volkert has brought it out in his
portrayal of pigs, asleep in the cool
shade of spreading tree, called "Rest-
ing" In Jonas Lies Evening" a
group of small boats with sails furled
compose a cherries winter setting in
the vivid manner of the artist. Rich
ard M. Kimbel's winter morning land
scape is in fluid style, and fishing
village is vigorously suggested by
George Pearce Ennis. The summer
landscape in charming combination Of
grays and gold by W. H. Crocker is a
pleasing conception also. Some others
whose work reflects charm and inter
est are Benjamin Eggleston, Lester D.
Boronda, Ernest Albert jr, and Edmund
Greacen. Frank Tenney Johnson, John
Alonzo Williams, Harry Townsend and
John Newton Hewitt are seen in
more experimental vein. At any rate
they show difficulty in changing their
established gait. If one thing is more
noticeable than another, however, it
is the absence of modern influences.
Exponents of modernism haven't so
much as "lookin" here.

For a long time we had taken for
granted the existence of the Paulist
Choir School at Libby Castle. Now and
then there has bean occasion to observe
and commend the result of Father Finn's
labcrs at the annual public concerts
given by the choristers under his direc-
ton. Our interest in the music of the
Roman Catholic Church was stimulated
by the Congress of Gregorian Chant
held last spring at the Cathedral by
the monks Of Solesmes. This interest
was revived by the recent announce
ment of Father Finn's summer mas
ter's course to be given at Libby Castle
beginning July 5. The site of the
school intrigued US. Even in cold type
there was q certain historical fra
GRANGE about the name Libby Castle.
TO an inhabitant of the Village, bored
by the monotonous pseudo do-Bohem1an-
ism implied by such signs as the
Purple Parrot, Nell's Nest and the Mys-
tic Moon, it supplied refreshing con-
trast, and suggested hitherto unex-
pIored possibilities. Might there not be

terviewing famous beauties, politicians,
painters, sculptors, stars, playwrights
and musicians of the long and short
haired variety there was the temptation
to add q priest to our collection. So
the day and hour of the appointment
having been duly agreed upon we set
forth last Thursday morning upon the
adventure.
Most adventures in New York begin
iii the subway, and this one was true
to form. But Father Finn is thought
full host, so motor was waiting at
the 1S1st Street station and the final
lap of the journey was luxuriously ac-
complished. Fordham people refer to
New York as "the city"
"When you get to the Castle you
won't want to go back to the city at
ALL" said the chauffeur with an ancour-
aging smile.
And we didn't.
Libby Castle justifes all the pos
sibilities of it's aristocratic name.
It's height commands fine view of the
Hudson and the Jersey cliffs. Its
grounds lend dignity and aloofness to
building which suggests the Old
World. Near by are George Grey Bar
nard's cloisters and the former Billings
estate.
Lloyd Rand, Father Finn's secretary
and general master of ceremonies at
the Castle, was waiting to conduct his
