Gently BroughtFron7 Germany

Mr.. Michael Friedsam Is the purchaser
OF the two important old masters which
it was announced last week had been
acquired by q New York collector
through the F. Kleinberger Galleries,
and which were recently brought to this
country from Germany. One of them is
"The Saviour" by Albrecht Durer (1471-
1929, q famous work by that master,
and the other is 1.-THE Rest on the Flight
Into Egypt" an equally well known
example. by Quentin Matsys Of Antwerp
I460-15S0).
These two treasures, primitives Of the
German and Flemish schools, still
further enrich a collection which is al
ready one OF the most important In the
United States, as regards numbers, scope
and intrinsic artistic merit.
Mr.. Friedsam Is building a new home
on the south side of Slxty-eighth street,
near Park avenue, which is especially
designed to be a home for his art COL

TED SHAWN GIVES
MATINEE OF DANCES
Robust Exponent of Art Is
Aided by Three Girls.

Ted Shawn. described on tho pro-
gramme as American Man Dancer" ap-
peared at the Apollo Theatre yesterday
afternoon with three young women to
vary the monotony Of SO much mascu-
Unity. Nobody is likely to mistake Mr..
Shawn for anything but a man dancer.
His robust leaps all but shook the stage
even If they did leave the dancer bit
breathless.
Mr.. Shawn did not limit his perform
ance to the usual restrictions Of the
dance. He began with first part
which wa. supposed to represent g.
church service. Everything was on the
programme from the doXology to text
for a sermon. Impressive as the pro-
ceedings may have been to the e3oteric
among the spectators, the novelty would
probably fail to prove q satisfactory sub
stitute to the orthodox.
Before he reached his "Toltec Dance
Drama" entitled "Xochitl," Mr.. Shawn
with his bare legged assistants per-
formed various dance visualizations."
The term was, according to the pro-
cramme. invented by Miss Ruth st.
DeDlS III OTuST 10 dNOiu lie ODJtCllOH-
able words 'interpretative' and 'clas-
sic'.' Why Miss ST. Denis finds the
words Objectionable was not explained,
but it is perhaps enough that the mat
inee left not only art but letters in
debted to her.
Mr.. Shawn danced a curious interlude
which must have been excellent exercise
for the calves and then whirled a cloak
about in q seguidilla. Then he danced
with n group evidently typifying the
spirit of revolution to wind up. All
were equally impressive and about as
much undressed Changing costumes in
izations" always leaves untouched the
area Of pelt which Is the most impor-
tant detail of dress in these dances.
Mr.. Shawn, with Misses Bowen.
Graham and May seemed to demon
strate that the features OF this school of
dancing founded on the Arm principle
OF almost complete undress, were rapid
ity of movement, rigidity Of outline and
a general avoidance OF the beauties that
ballet dancing has always struggled TO
impart. There is little or no finish In
the movements, but sense of rhythm
and exactness is taught. The liquid
curve, the melting grace OF pose or out
line are, however elements of dancing
with which the st. Denis school APP
parently troubles itself but little. Yet
much that the programme offered yes
terday might provide entertainment on
musical comedy or vaudeville pro-
grammes.

ALLEGED SHOOTER
OF TAX|.DRIVER
IS OUT ON BOND
Victim of Assault is Still in
Hospital But Will
Recover

II. A. Tabor, who is charged with
shooting John Maschiotra, taxi
driver, at First street and Santa Fe
avenue about ten days ago, and who
since that time has been confined in
the county jail, was yesterday rclcas-
cd on a $4,000 bond signed by him
self and Isaac Freund.
This was the case wherein several
men and women alleged to have been
drinking at a road house. called upon
Maschiotra, about 3 o'clock one morn
ing, to bring them back to the city.
He did so, and. according to the story
he told friend after being taken to a
local hospital Tabor repeatedly
punched the driver in the ribs with
his pistol, and made much talk about
how he was going to kill the driver
and others. But Maschiotra said he
paid but little attention to the talk or
actions of Tabor for the reason that
the proprietor of the road house had
taken the gun away from him while
there. and emptied it. Maschiotra
did not know that Tabor had reloade cd
tho gun after 1t was returned to him
for the home trip.
The shot entered the taxi mans
side, and for a time the injury was
looked upon as serious; however, it is
now said that he is getting along SC
well that hope is strong for his re-
covery. The charge against Tabor is
assault to murder. a
