Weir
A Memorial of the Artist and
the Man

The Century Club has produced a
volume in honor Of Alden Weir, edited
by Mr.. j. B. Millet. 1t gathers together
diversity Of contributions. There are
critical papers by Duncan Phillips and
the present writer. Weir's fellow
painters, Emil Carlson, Childe Hassam
and Augustus Vincent Tack, add snec-
dotes and tributes. Mr.. Millet gives an
account Of Weir in the Tile Club. His
characteristics as fisherman are ira
versed by Mr.. H. de RaasloR. and reap
pear in chapter by Mr.. c. E. s. Wood.
A complete list Of his paintings is In
cluded, and generous number Of them
are illustrated Tho book has been
handsomely printed at the Merrymount
Press.
There are some Illuminating frag-
ments Of "Reminiscences in these pages.
Mr.. Hassam tells one more story of
Weir's influence on tho promotion Of
good artistic enterprises He speaks of
"Weir's being in Durand- Ruel's Paris
gallery one day when Stanford White
came in. 'McKim's doing library for
Boston Who's the man to make big
mural painting?' asked White. why,
Puvis, Of course!' exclaimed Weir.
they went from there to the Place
Pigallo, found Puvis de Chavannes, and
we know the rest" There are other In
stances given Of Weir's taste, force
by itself, one Of those things for which
we are as grateful as for his paintings.
Carlson has a good passage on his
friends technique. "Dont draw too
much, Is Weir's motto; don't color too
much, the color must be felt, not seen
80 the drawing" There Is no formal
ity about these various essays. They
are assembled to make "An Apprecia-
tion" having the warmth and discursive
character of personal tributes. But
they have certain unity and consti-
tute to some extent record. The list
OF paintings rounds out the document
sry significance Of the book.

Veronese's ''Juno''
A Gift Made by Belgium to
Venice
By Agnes r. Mackenzie

By Agnes z. Mackenzie
ROME, Dec. 1.-THE Paul veronese
ceiling panel representing "Juno dis
pensing her gifts on Venice" which
Belgium returned to Italy in the spring
of this year, has now been put in its
place on the ceiling Of the Ducal Pal
ace in Venice. This panel was taken
away nearly 124 years ago by Napoleon
1t has been In Belgium since it was
assigned to that state by him in 1899.
For the last hundred years the panel
has been on view in the Museum of
Brussels. The value placed upon 1t
may be gauged by the detail that when,
ten years ago, Italy wished to nego-
tiate for its return to the Hall Of the
Council of Ten in the Ducal Palace,
Belgium demanded in return superb
portrait by Van Dyck. which Italy
could not spare. But the war changed
this point Of view and the Belgians
were satisfied with another valuable
portrait.
For 124 years the ceiling Of the Hall
Of the Ten was decorated by a copy
made in 1860, when Venice was in the
possession Of Austria. Now the oripi-
nal is in its old place, much to the
satisfaction Of all art lovers. This
panel Of Juno forms part Of series
ordered by the Venetian Republic. The
order was given about 1853 to q medi-
ocre painter of Castelfranco who. ow-
ing to his departure from Venice,
handed over the order to Paul Veronese
and Giambattista Zelotti These panels
are in Veronese's best style, though
they were his first important commits
sion. By some critics the Juno panel
is considered his masterpiece, being
painted when he was full Of youthful
ideas. Not only is it a wonderful
study in color, but the composition is
a marvel Of beauty. 1t is seven feet
long and four wide and represents the
goddess holding precious vases from
which she has bestowed Jewels, gold
and the ducal crown on the waiting fig
ure Of Venice. The latter is repre-
scnted by the figure Of young woman,
leaning on the globe and accompanied
by a symbolic lion.
Although it is generally believed that
the idea of definitely presenting this
much desired painting to Italy was due
to the kind offices Of the Minister of
Fine Arts, in reality it was quite by

A Futurist Poet
And the ss'Theater
OF Surprises
From 4hs rr4bunc.s European Burcau

From 1T,s Trtbunc's Europedn Bnrcnn
ROME, Dec. 17.--Signor Marinetti,
the futurist poet, presented to Ro-
man audience recently his idea Of what
play should be- He called it the the
ater of surprises, which t was, in more
ways than one, as the audience vigor-
ously protested at paying high price
for what they termed an idiotic per-
formance. This futurj@,4 play consisted
of several small-a.. tableaus, as ac-
tions were supposed to speak louder
than words. The show commenced
with the orchestra, not in it's usual
place, but part of it in one box, an
bone player was seated back in the par
quet seats among the audience, who OBJ
jected to this musical scheme by yelling
and shouting. The Salone Margehita was
crowded, while queue trying to get in
reached for half mile outside the the
ater.
The majority Of the spectators, re-
membering Signor Marinetti's lecture
at the Castanzi, had brought along in
their pockets a goodly supply of toma-
toes, beans and potatoes, which they did
not throw at the actors until after two
Of the tableaus had been given.
One Of these was called "The Thou
sand Lights" A page carried this in
scription on a signboard, which the
audience read. Immediately the lights
went out and the spectators yelled
Light! Light" Then the light was
turned on an absolutely empty stage.
This first sample aroused the anger of
the crowd, who threw vegetables, but
hit no one. Then the second tableau,
Death" represented q man on bed,
with his wife kneeling by his side; q
doctor enters, shakes his head laconi-
cally and repeats the word dead!
Dead!" The mans face is covered with
sheet. The doctor leaves, then the
wife rises and, turning, one sees on
her back placard with the words sTo
Let"
After this second tableau the audi
ence became seriously annoyed and
yelled at such length that the perform
ance could not go on. Signor Mari
netti very pluckily came on to the
stage to explain that the best plays
were still to be given.
naFfacf f,,Si11oIa
beans and potatoes greeted his words.
He managed to dodge the missiles
very cleverly and continued talking.
AS the audience had used up their
youth leaped to the stage
and three times managed to jump up
and gather goodly supply Of much
battered vegetables. After his third
effort a youthful futurist who had
taken Signor Marinetti's place with
we'll placed kick sent him into the
middle Of the parquet seats.
For three hours this yelling and
shouting continued, until midnight,
when the performance, according to
schedule, should have finished had the
actors been allowed to continue. The
notified the audience that
the theater was closing and they were
forced to leave the building. Many
went home quietly, but about two hun
dred waited until Signor Marinetti, in
MS evening suit and straw hat, left
the building, surrounded by his
friends. The audience. MANY of whom

chance that Signor Fierens Geveart,
conservator Of the Brussels Museum,
heard Of Italy's aspirations. He was
on holiday in Venice and, while Wis
iting the Ducal Palace, under the tute-
lage of the director. Signor Ungaro,
was shown the copy Of the Veronese in
the Hall of the Council Of Ten. He
promised to bring the matter before
the Ministry Of Art and hasten the
return OF the original. AS M. Geveart
is also president Of 1.-THE Friends of
Italy" in Belgium he took a personal
interest in the matter, and in less
than year the panel was returned.
This courtesy on the part Of the Bel
gian government has done much to
strengthen the already friendly feel
ings between Italians and Belgians.
