American Sporting
Prints by w. 7. HAYS

w. j. Hays. an associate of the Acad-
envy. has found an unworked field in the
domain OF art and the Brown Robertson
Galleries are aiding him to speed the
plough. He makes sporting pictures and
prints and they have put them upon ex-
nibition.
It seems curious that so little has been
prints in America, for we make a great
pretence of loving sports and always
have. Then, too, the artist who goes in
for this branch of work has certain
licenses that put as much spirit into his
mood as licenses always put into the
poets. The sportsman who will love his
production most will never think OF
comparing ii with the work of Albrecht
Durer or Hans Memling, but will con-
slider only how true il is in fact and how
many true facts il contains.
Mr.. Hays's hunting scenes are most
Enthusiastically placed against the genuine
American background. 1t seems anus
ing merely to see the pack pursuing
me fox pell-mell through an American
field of shocked corn. That in itself is a
hunting scene that never could take place
In England--the land that has raised
sports to the dignity of politics and poll
ties to the plane of religion.
In a Meet at Andrew Haight's" the
relocated huntsmen are seen assembling
at typical native crossroads in the
midst OF the usual modern assembly of
motor cars. and later these same hunt
ers are seen pursuing the willy fox
through hill and dale. It ought TO be a
particular pride to the hunters who
actually hunt the region Mr.. Hays de-
sc-ibes TO see themselves thus set down
in permanent print and collectors doubt

OF art which heretofore has been gen
orally fmported,

But Derain, Matisse, Braque.
Picasso and Marie Laurencin have
been known here already, and the
rush to Wanamaker's will not be so
much for their sakes as to discover
who the new people may be and how
they measure up to established stand
ards. Really it has been some time
since any authentic evidence has
come from the front, and there have
been plenty of signs that our anna
tours are becoming restless.
Well, the chief of the new names
are these: Maurice Utrillo, Georgia
de Chirico, Survage, Herbin, Irene
Lagut, Helene Perdriat and Jose de
Togores, and it can be said at once
that each Of these new artists achieves
personality, that they add color and
refinement but no new direction to
the movement. Modern art remains
as it was before their advent and the
original leaders are not yet eclipsed.
Utrillo is a sort of variation of
Maurice de Vlaminck, with the same
nervous, brittle touch; De Chirico
works a curious vein of dramatic
fantasy, and there is suggestion in
his manner that he may go the way
OF Picabia--that is, to Dadaism-and
Survage is a refinement upon prague
The Guitar ct Nerre" of Georges
prague is to my mind the finest piece
of abstract painting in the collection.
Tt is rich in color and splendidly dec
crative. Quite as robust and authori-
tative. however, is the landscape by
Jean Metzb1ger, and there also GER
tainly will be intelligent partisans for

the water color by Matisse; the hand
some landscape, Venice" by Raoul
Duffy. and the flower pieces by De
Vlaminck and De Togores. Painters
who have what the dressmakers call
"chic"-and it is totally different af-
fair from the thing that painters call
"chic"-are WILLARD, Bonnard, Rous-
loved Of the boulevards, and it has long
been a mystery why no one has i'm
ported them for the pleasure Of the
boulevardiers here, for we have boule-
vardiers, plenty of them.
The collection in addition to being
we'll chosen is well hung. There has
been a suspicion that these modern
works Of art required white or al
most white background to achieve an
impression. The Belmaison Gallery is
hung in blue. yet these abstract paint
ings more than hold their own upon it
and there is no hindraIce whatever to
come between the anxious student and |
these latest outpourings from Paris.

pecially lively portrait by this last

this country for his witty "reminiscences

Rupert Canning
Company Broke;
Assets Short

Portland, Or, Mar. 1.-THE A.
Rupert company. which operates a
striD~ of canneries in the VILLAIN
ette valley and in southern Oregon,
was today placed in the hands of a
receiver in state circuit court.
Shrinkage of about 35 per cent In
the value of canned goods was held
by complaining creditors to be re-
sponsible for the company's alleged
financial distress.
Circuit Judge Kavanaugh ap-
pointed Lloyd L. Multi to take
charge of the affairs of the com
pany. The complaint was made by
the Eugene Fruit Growers associa-
ton.
According to the petition of the
Eugene association, the company
owes it $11,894.
The petition also asserts that the
federal government has threatened
to take action in order to collect
$4,000 said to still owing on the
company's 1919 income tax.
The company's assets were esti-
mated in the growers petition at
100000 in canneries and q stock
of canned goods and material worth
$3.50, 900.
The liabilities were placed at
$4,000 in open accounts and
$67O,00o owing to other creditors.
For six weeks the company has
ben unable to meet its obligations.
according to the petition, which
asked that receiver be appointed,
in order to avoid a multiplicity of
suits growing out of the firm $
scattered activities.
