Some Current Art Shows
In the Local Galleries
Fuchs in Dual Exhibition; The Guild of American
Painters; Interesting Wood Engravings;
The Return of Frank Burty

Hayes Miller. The prize, which is an
anonymous picture, will be drawn for
by the three. Artists were not competing,
but amused themselves by guessing.
Among them two were successful in
heating the records Of the competitors
Louis Bouche, who guessed all but
three. and Mr.. Halpert, who knew all
but five Of the thirty-nine.
Frank Burty, whose paintings were
last seen in this country in 1914, has
sent collection Of oils and water
colors to the Drummer galleries. He
has altered his course considerably
during his absence, making for greater
originality. Several Of the former
works sent with the new ones make
possible this comparison. He is not
to-day so bound up in the formulas Of
the French moderns as when he was
aligned with Picasso. He has, how
ever, always been appreciated for his
personal color and his interesting de-
sign. His pictures Of the not very color
full landscapes Of the Pyrences and
the quaint village life Of these noun
tains suggest love Of detachment.
His color runs sometimes to monotony
of Rrays and browns. And though his
surfaces are trife hard. they some
how seem to reflect the proper feeling
of these picturesque attitudes. The
artist, though American born, is q
Frenchman by residence, having lived
for many years In France.
A rich and fluent use OF color is
everywhere manifested in the land
scapes Of ]. Lars Hoftrup, which are
being shown at Mrs. Malcom's gallery.
The artist paints evenly and with
distinction. Only where he encoun-
ters the more difficult problems
Of massed color, as in "Connecticut
Woods" is he ineffective. One painting
which commands the entire room is
the winter tree and house composition
called January Twenty-first." Mr.
Hoftrup has found charming compo-
sition and rendered it in rich tone.
The artist has a genuine feeling for
the primitive aspect Of nature, and
wherever he can bring his rich greens
into play his pictures count. The ex-
hibition is to be continued until De-
cember II.
An interesting exhibition Of small
landscape and waterfront paintings by
Hortense Budel will be on view
to-day and tomorrow at the Van Bos-
kerck Studios, rs Washington Place.
Indian myth and legend collected
from the various tribes Of the West
are the subject of a novel exhibition
Of paintings by F. Overton Colbert at
the Montross gallery. The.artist, him
self Chickasaw, interprets these
stories of primitive belief from ma
tive's viewpoint in terms Of fanciful
and grotesQue symbolism. He makes
a striking use Of color and as a de-
signer his arrangements often rise to
heights of creative imagination. Vari-
GUS Indian sources, including the Hopi.
Chickasaw, Zuni and others, are drawn
upon for subjects. Each painting is
accompanied by descriptive passage
giving the story interpreted in the
painting.

Rudolph Ruzicka has a large and in
teresting exhibition Of vignettes In
wood engraving at the Anderson GAL
leries. This consists Of intimate views
Of New York, architectural studies and
a few portraits, all Of which reveal the
artist in a rank quite by himself.
Manhattan" and Liberty Street" have
stately dignity, but the beauty Of
Ruzicka's method lends itself just as
we'll to less imposing forms. His sim
plicity of treatment is heightened
throughout by beautiful modulations
Of tone. 1t is this feature in the print
Ing that provides much of the charm
Of the prints. In case is collection
Of volumes by the Grolier Club, Scrib-
ners and the Carteret Book Club illus

cravings, and there is, too, wall de-
voted to some recent attempts in water

significant that he and Ruzicka started

to order; that both manifested an an
probation Of the higher art forms and
found way to give expression to
them. Shaler commenced, as his early
examples show, by painting academ-
ically. But he quickly forgot this and
took up the cause of the "mod-

The Ferargil Galleries have just
placed on view group Of marine
paintings by Alexander Bower which
have power and feeling consistent with
the rugged nature Of the settings. The
ocean at peace has small place in this
exhibition, which consists Of ten sub
jects. The artist takes particular de-
light, it seems, in interpreting the
subtle changes in atmosphere ever
present where land and sea meet. There
is savoring Of the Maine coast, of
the locale as we'll as the subjects which
Homer found SO much to his liking,

of the rock masses that they have good
structural character and stability.

When Mr.. Emil Fuchs made his exhi-
bition at Cartier's last winter, appear
ing as both painter and sculptor, he
left the impression that he was more
at his ease in the pecond role than In
the first. He confirms this impression
in the new show which he has arranged
at the Knoedler gallery. From his
score Of canvases there are only two
or three which detach themselves as
above his rather commonplace average.
The "Roshanara" is really handsome
performance, we'll designed and we'll
painted. The "Miss Katherine Owen"
is also good. Otherwise Mr.. Fuchs
gives the best account Of his talent in
number of animated sculptures. AMI
nation is, indeed, his leading virtue.
1t tells repeatedly in his adroitly mod
eled nudes and in his piquant busts Of
women and children. The "Phryne," in
dark bronze, is an admirable piece Of
work. There is some strength, too, in
several Of the heads Of men. Mr..
Fuchs has an engaging fluency.
A bright spot here and there through
the exhibition of the Guild of Ameri-
can Painters at the Babcock galleries
elevates the general tone to a little
above the mediocre. With the cxcep-
tion Of Arthur Freedlander's "The
Daily Grind" it is conservative. This
picture is ably drawn and presents in
good character group of Interestingly
posed figures. The portrait "pierrette,"
by the same man, lacks the distinction
in style that the other possesses. r.
x. Detwiller leans rather feebly toward
the expansive subject, and his pano-
rama Of New York roof tops is quite
unnecessarily harsh in outline. Will
liam Z. B. Starkweather is the opposite
type, who likes to shorten his vision.
By doing so. however, he produces a
delightfully."- intimate closeup" in the
instance Of "Grandmother's Garden"
John E. Costigan is perhaps one Of the
most favorably known of the lot, but
though he seems somewhat lost in
technique in din the Woods" he in
stills sense of poetic grandeur in
"Study Of Sky" The manner of George
Pearce Ennis, suited to the rigorous
aspects Of nature to which he inclines,
Ris nevertheless unduly bald and unrc-
lenting in severity. A striving for the
reverse effect is felt in the "House in
Garden" painted by Fl. Vance Swope,
which Is mellow in color and altogether
charming in composition. Other cxhib-
itors are Bella Mayer, Henry S. Eddy,
Oscar Julius, Ernest D. Roth, G. j.
Stengel, Richard M. Kimbel, Frank
Hazell and G. L. Berg. The exhibition,
which will shortly go on tour out Of
town, is destined to receive there the
same favorable recognition accorded the
last show in nearly score Of cities.

Fire Islands Cellars
Tempt Wet Burglars

More than fifteen cottages in the
Saltaire colony on Fire Island have
been broken into and robbed in the
last three weeks, it became known yes
terday. A private search and attempt
to discover the marauders, who are be-
lieved to have been tempted to the
fashionable colony by the well-stocked
cellars, was begun by the islands sum
mer residents some time ago.
This search has resulted in placing
two men under suspicion. They are
reported to have been seen leaving one
of the cottages week ago by Patrick
McFall, the watchman who resides on
the island during the winter months.
McFall, accompanied by Michael Cof-
rey, a carpenter employed on the
island, set out last Wednesday night
to discover the cause of the frequent
robberies. McFall reported he and his
companion were hiding behind sand
dune, when they saw two figures MAX
ing their way along the beach, carry
ing bags. The watchman ordered them
to stop and when they failed to heed
his command, he fired several shots.
McFall says he recognized the men and

Nine dollars and ninety-five cents,

Legislative L Aid Sought
Hold-Up of IL Members
of Golf Club Is Climax
of Many Recent Outrages

AS result Of the hold-up Of seven
men guests, nine women and a chauf-
feur, on their way home from the
fashionable Baltusrol Golf Club at
Springfield, N. j., early Sunday morn
ming, and the wounding of one of
the men, the Governor and Legislature
will be called upon for aid in sup
pressing banditry in the northern part
OF the state.
Governor Edwards will be asked to
revive the wartime home defense or
carnations for patrol duty, according
to J. Osgood Nichols, president of the
Short Hills Association. Prosecutor
Walter. L. Hetfield. of Union County,
who is chairman of Governor Edwards's
anti-crime committee, said yesterday
that he would call a meeting later in
the week in Trenton and will suggest
that the Legislature be asked for an
appropriation for special police to act
under directionsof the committee.
Five Bandits at Scene
Robert S. Huse, of 575 Westminster
aAvenue, Elizabeth, who resisted the
thugs and was shot in the arm and
back, was reported to be making en-
couraging progress at the Elizabeth
General Hospital yesterday. He will
not lose his arm, surgeons said after
an X-ray picture had been taken.
Members of the party who gave out
the first statements of the hold-up said
that only three of the highwaymen ap-
peared when the three motor cars CON
tanning Che club members and their
guests were halted by caddy bench
and other distractions that had been
placed in the road near the clubhouse.
Other victims said yesterday two addi-
tional bandits were at the scene,
though all five did not take part in
searching the men.
The actual work was done by three
men, the others remaining in the back
ground. There is no doubt in the
minds Of the entire party that the work
of robbery was halted before the plans
of the robbers had been carried out
owing to the resistance of Mr.. Huse,
who aimed blow at the robber who
held him up. Mr.. Huse's foot slipped,
however, causing him to fall, and he
was shot before he could regain his
feet.
John Galatian, chief of county de-
tectives, believes the hold-up was the
work of gang that has been operat-
ing unmolested in northern New Jer-
sey since early in December. There
are five members in this gang, accord
ing to Chief Galatian. At the end of
their hold-up of the Baltusrol Club
members the three bandits who did the
actual work fired several shots in the
air, which is believed to have been
signal to others.
Long Series of Crimes
Chief Galatian says the crimes at
tributed to this gang of robbers are al
follows:
Hold-up of two trolley cars in Sum
nit January 26; hold-up of a one-man
trolley at Union January 8; hold-up of
six motorists at Bloodgood's Crossing,
Clark Township, December 27; hold-up

entered against Miss Loyacano, and
she was taken before Magistrate Joseph
r. Corrigan. When asked for her ex-

Japanese Screen
Actors Routed i'm
Chinatown Riot
Barrage of Milk Bottles Is
Too Accurate for Invad-
ers Who Seek Color for
Picture i'm Mott Street

The Chinese New Year was cele-
brated in Chinatown yesterday by
forty Japanese moving picture folk, a
half-dozen American screen actresses
and camera grinders and some Italian
bands and hurdy-gurdy players.
The moving picture outfit arrived
first. They came down to grind out a
good old Chinese melodrama and
thought they might as we'll take ad-
vantage of the Oriental street deco
rations with which the Chinese might
be expected to usher in the year 1903.
This was their first delusion. The only
decorations were a few American flags
and a Chinese flag on Doyers Street,
near the midnight mission. The cam
eias were set up facing that.
The second deltssion was that the
Chinese, like American film fans, could
be expected to mistake Japanese for
Chinese. This delusion was shattered,
along with some empty milk bottles, as
soon as the japanese, In Chinese cos
tunes, were seen violently pulling the
white actresses into dark Railways,
flashing daggers and generally acting
the way the Chinese are supposed to do
in pictures and on the stage. 1t took
the American Chinese of Chinatown five
minutes to put the Japanese Chinese to
rout toward williamsburg Bridge, using
American milk bottles.
The Italian musicians succeeded the
japanese in Chinatown. They played
on street corners and collected nickels
from American sightseeing buses,
whose Chinese lanterns gave the sec
tion Mongolian touch.
Yesterday, the residents of China
town settled their debts as usual on
New Years, exchanged cards, closed
stores and played games, but dragged
no paper dragon through the streets
as of yore.
The Chinese residents were all in
their meeting halls, quietly playing
games, and the streets were darker
than usual. Early last night the only
people on the streets were 400 Ameri-
cans out of work, waiting to enter the
mission hall where the unemployed
sleep.
