Glacial British Melt When American Chorus Girls Display Beauty to

i
 London, April 4.-Slender ankles, after all, are the best diplomacy And the American chorus girls, who have been imported here, are cement l ing Anglo-American understanding in way undreamt of by ambassadors and such.
 In the League of Notions,' C. B. Cochran's latest theatrical production, there are ten of them; and English men, who as a rule are not lavish in their use of superlatives, describe them as the 'willowiest, lissomest, and gracefullest girls" who ever across London's boards. Not only English men, but English women, too are loud in their expressions of ad- mration for the American type of Womanhood, which differs quite a lot from the English product. Cochran has been particularly happy in his selection, and his American girls, conforming as they do to the "Kirsch- ner' type-tall and slender-make a striking contrast to the ''petite" Eng fish girls who are part and parcel of the same show.
 However, the conquest of London has not been left to American chorus girls only. Those stars" which America has spared from her own great Armament are shining brightly over here. The Dolly Sisters and the TriX Sisters are making a hit, while the two biggest successes of the past season were Paddy the Next Best Thing" in which Edith Day scored such prolonged triumph.
 There is some flavor about Ameri- can talent which never fails to please the English palate. The Prince of Wales is certainly not immune from the American lure. At a recent dance of Lady Lavery the TriX Sisters were sorted out by the Prince of Wales for special attention. He danced with one of them and insisted on hearing excerpts from their "act," and went on applauding and pleading for more until they had finished the third number.
 AIOIHcI CUul pIcCt anu lllulN IuudI American success was scored by Mary Nash at the Oxford Theatre, in "The Man Who Came Back" In London's smartest bathrooms, the American demonstrator is to the fore. At the Savoy Hotel, Leonora Hughes, with her partner, Maurice, held the huge ballroom spellbound each night-and many Londoners went just to watch them dance, without any intention of ] joining in the whirling throng them selves.
 Elise Janis makes a musical com plaint, entitled "It's All Wrong at the Queens Theatre-and while this finds little favor with Americans in the audience, Londoners clap and en- core and pronounce it "hne!"
 Managers are at loss to know whether it's the American ankles or the accent" that so completely wins Londons favor, but the favor is won beyond doubt, and those programs announcing an English and Amer ican Company" are practically certain 1 to play to full house.

 . <. <. ' <: <" < <. ;. ;. ]. ]. Ws. gAkSS%/% Capt. John n %<Ssssa 11er[N Smith. It was - his in q om- itable spirit which enabled the settlement at Jamestown to sur vive the privatlOns and difficult ties that encompassed it during
 those first years. There in 1907 was made the first permanent
 English colony in America. The charter given by King James I
 to what was known as the Lon- don company, under whose aus piceS Jamestown and the later
 Virginia settlements were found-
 ed, designated that this colony should extend POO miles north
 mil AF T Point Comfort and stretch west ward to the sea. Under the reign of Charles II it was considered such an important colony that it was called the fourth dominion of his empire, that is, England, Scotland, Ireland and Virginia. From this Virginia was often called the Old Dominion. The name Virginia itself means the ] virgin land and was so called after Queen Elizabeth, the "Vir- gin Queen" The early govern ment of Virginia is of great in- terest. At first communism was
 tried, under which system the
 land and all property was owned
 in common and all profits were
 divided equally. This proved
 disastrous failure. In 1919 the first real representative govern
 ment in the colonies was estab-
 lished, called the house of bur-
 gesses, which continued in force under varying fortunes until Vir-
 ginia joined the Union and be- came the tenth state in 17SS.
 Much might be written of the
 character of the early Virginian
 settlers and their great influence on American life. From Virginia
 has sprung two other states,
 Kentucky and West Virginia.
 Even so, the states present area
 is 42,627 square miles. Politi- cally the Old Dominion state is
 entitled to twelve presidential
 electors. This is about the aver age of the southern states.

It was Mariette, we believe. the
famous French courtier and collector
VINO put into words the secret of the
drawing, saying that it revealed the
purpose of the artist in it's first
"eclosion' or Matching. This observa-
ton applies particularly to the study
made fer picture, and, of course. a
large number of the old drawings we
possess were SO made. But there is
more at stake. The exciting thing
ABOUT drawing by true artist is that
IL dlscioses his individuality as q thumb
print might do the trick, giving an
utterly spontaneous impression of his
style. There is nothing in art that is
more decisive, and by the same token,
there is nothing subtler. The student
finds this out in the French school. if
anywhere, because there individuality
had always to reckon with tradition,
the master has had to place his thumb
print upon a mode. If he were indeed
a master he could do it, The exhibition
now at the Wildenstein gallery clarifies
the point
1t Is pure eighteenth century. The
forty or fifty drawings presented make
an absolutely hawless harmony. All.
these men confess to the same inhu-
ence, which is at once that of the court
and the academy, OF high bred elegance
and relentless technical discipline
Your typical eighteenth century

ious, sensuous society; he met the taste

They were less drastic in the sphere of
painting, but there were ways, never
theless, of enforcing a standard Of good
workmanship. If eighteenth century
French drawings are delightful it is in
large part because the men who made
them knew their trade.
In the measure of their genius they
enriched sheer efficiency with an accent

of them all, is as original as he is

the individual triumphs over the
school. Boucher accepts what we NAV
call the common denominator of French
craftsmanship, but it is no stencil in
MS hands. He sutfuses it with his
own force and energies the possessor
of n style.
To trace this strictly personal ele-
ment in drawing let the observer COM
pare, for example, Fragonard and
Pillement. The italian Villa" by the
former, an interesting sangu.ae, does
not by any means show us Frago at
AIS best, but there is a touch in it be-
side which the villa sketches by PILE
ment shrivel up into a kind of facile
prettiness. There is, to be sure.
enough of prettiness in the school. Not
all the men in the Wildenstein exhibi-
tion are masters. Some of the minor
hgures give US only thin echoes of the
enchantment Of the school. But the
SHOW at its best is impressive. Witness
the Figures in an Interior" evidently

reminder of the fact that the period
was not one of boudoir scenes alone.

Flowers" dull performance). and
When Gabriel de Sant-Aubin made a
similarly Independent move it had
notable results. The figures in this
sketch are brilliantly drawn, the scene
Is vividly realized, and, above all, the
fragment is lifted to a high plane by
that magic of touch to which we have
alluded. Like Vatican, with his hints
OF the weight and solidity of Rubens.
Saint-Aubln veers away from the arti
i'clality of his period and achieves the
distinction of masterful strength. Ira
dition claims him, yet cannot dim his
natural fire.
