Rarities From American Home on View
Furnishings From Important New Jersey House Ex-
hibited at American Galleries

Practically all the artistic furnishings
Jersey were placed on view yesterday In
the galleries or the American Art ASso-
citation preparatory to their sale at auc-
ton beginning Thursday. Apparently
this country house was OF class COM
parable In Europe to a chateau or pal
ace. since the only adjective that applies
to the furniture Is "palatiaL"
In the main entrance hall are shown
the salon fittings. Thege include a
carved and gilded Aubusson tapestry set
from the collection of the Princess Ma
thilde Bonaparte OF Paris. the famous

pair of truly splendid gilt centre tables,
decorated satinwood cabinets. mounted
acajou commode also from the Princess
Mathilde. and a number of Aubusson
hangings.
A group Of small gilt bronze statu-
cites by J. L. Gerome probably head the
list OF the objects of art. Gerome was
already famous painter when he first
began to do sculpture, but many critics
thought his lasting fame would rest
upon his statuettes The clear mentality
OF this artist fitted him to interpret such
a decided character as Napoleon, and
his chief piece Is an equestrian statuette
of the Little Emperor
In the dining room division there is
much old silver and fine linen. Many Of
the big ornamental pieces are by the
French silversmiths the Maison Odiot.
There are giided silver candelabra,
gilded silver epergnes. sauce tureens,
wine jugs, piatters, service plates, coffee
and tea sets and sets of gilded silver cut

housekeepers
The porcelains include q large deco
rated group of O coach and four in the
Capo di Monte style: mounted vases In
the Sevres style: Crown Derby vases by
lie Roy, Gresty and Albert Gregory, and
many figures in white bisque. There IS a
Louis Philippe mantel set Of clock and
candelabra. an important tall clock and
many pictures.
Among the paintings are works by Ed

MINISTER'S DISCUSS
STATE FILM CONTROL
Clergymen of the City Hear
of Menace in Pictures.

If the motion picture commission bill.
which comes before the Legislature al
Albany to-day, is favorably received,
clergymen believe that turning point
IN the battle for a national standardiza-
ton OF pictures win be won.
Canon Chase, chairman OF tho Church
Federations law enactment and law en-
fcrcement bureau. stated as much yes
ierday at meeting OF clergymen at -
Madison avenue. He said that as New
York State represents IL per cent. Of
the motion picture business, and Penn
sylyania, which has had a commission
since 1913, represents per cent, the
Two combined would control one-fifth or
the showing and should, therefore. be-
come a strong force In the bette-rrc
{; mpaign.
Canon Chase had invited the Rev.
clifford Twombly, rector OF st. James'S
Church at Lancaster, Pa. 10 explain
some OF the features against which the
pennsylvania commission Is waginG
warfare.
Mr.. Twombly had come prepared with
a bunch OF scenarios, deleted and unde-
leted. These he read TO the audience,
pauslng now and then to call attention
to some particularly atroclous scene
which forty out OF the forty-eight Statcs
permit TO be shown.
The greatest number OF eltminauonB
made in any one film by the Pennsyl-
vania commission Is fo-ty-nlne, accord
ing 70 Mr. Twombly. he read the titles
OF a score OF films. practically all OF
which have been shown on Broadway.
and then gave the number OF delctions
in Pennsylvania. These ranged from
seventeen to the number previously men
toned.

national board made two minor elimina-

country are the greatest menace We
have ever had TO meet. The church is

II is my opinion that 40 per cent. Of

harmful influence on the public mind

spring waters OF the nation.
