Sue Ifarvard's Voice Clear.

That Sac Harvard could sing was
obvious from her recital at Aeoiian
Hall Thursday evening. There were
also obvious imperfections: Miss Harv-
ards soprano was strong, with pene-
trating, far-carrying louder notes, but
these were apt to have q hard quality,
{. metallic edge with occasional
tremors. On the other hand, her notes
OF medium strength or soft notes had
delightful clearness Of tone, subt!y
shaded, especially in passages fading
to silence, while their quality was not
impaired by an apparent effort in
breathing with an occasional cough.
Versatility in expression and dietion
was shown in the program, which added
to religious Bach air, "Porgi Amore"
from "be Nozze di Figaro" and French
and German songs three numbers in
Welsh, folksongs of plaintive charac-
ter. and declamatory number, "Lsnd
Of the Harp" by John Henry. Among
American numbers Corinne Lawson's
"Lazy Song" sung with an appropri-
ately languid grace, was the most ap-
prsciated.

shadowy romance. He savored it's pic
turesqueness to the full, yet the many
designs in this exhibition at the
Knoedler gallery show that he never
forced it. never carried that dangerous
facility of his too far. Venice gave him
his favorite inspiration, but he made
his travel notes with the same easy
firmness and clarity in France, Holland
and England. Occasionally he relin-
quished water color. A number of
charcoals are in the collection under
review, including the set that he made
in the London haunts of Dickens. In
color and in line he is the same accu-
rate observer, the same tactful chooser
of the right pictorial theme, the same
accomplished worker. Though the
high-erected triumpks of technique and
style were denied him, he was, in his
modest sphere, one of the most justly
successful artists we have ever had.

ment made the ensuing operations
easy. They were undertaken in q field
which has been only specifically ex-
plored and Count Prorok and his col
leagues soon won substantial reward
for their efforts.
They uncovered the. remains of a
Roman palace in which they found
seven mosaics in perfect condition.
In some Punic tombs they came upon
jewels ard pottery of 700 B. C. They
brought to light temple of Tanit,
discovering urns, inscriptions and vo-
tive altars, many of which were of pure
Egyptian origin. In hundreds of the
urns were the bones of little children,
sacrifices to Tanit and Baal. Some of
this material, enabling the archmolo-
glsts to fix dates, would seem to place
the founding of Cathage at the period
OF the destruction of Troy. Treasure
lies only two or three yards below the
surface and thence, through layer
after layer, the record of one civiliza-
tlon after another goes down through
periods of military destruction or the
sheer wastage of time. It is an end,
lessly storied city that lives and dies
and comes to life again upon the an
cient site. 1t has Queen Dido among
its figures, Hannibal, Scipio, st. Angus
tine, st. Louis of France and SO on
through an imposing list. Carthaginian
and Roman, Vandal and Christian,
Egyptians and Byzantines have all had
their day there. Their traces lie buried
in night that is not impenetrable,
that only needs energy and knowledge
to be pierced.
1t is Count Proroks object to enlist
American support, hoping to find it
among our museums and universities,
and then to start upon systematic
campaign of excavation. The French
have authorized his project, and he
even has the blessing Of the Pope upon
it. He has engagements to speak on
the subject before several learned
bodies here, and on November Id will
lecture at the French Institute, show

of films. The latter convey vivid
sense of the difficulties involved in
digging and in turning over the soil.

fullness Of proportion that speaks
rather for practicability than beauty.
The feeling for ornamcntation is
meager but robust and given to clus-

that an artist should know the rudi-
ments, know them and master them.
Nothing, possibly, save the possession
OF something worth saying.
Going slowly through this collection
we pause now and then before mic
ture which seems to have a little more
in it than the humdrum excellence Of
careful manufacture. There is brisk,
though shallow, cleverness about the
figures Of NJ. Jean Gabriel Domergue.
He cannot bend the bow Of Boldini, but
he can play effectively with much the
same sort Of motive. There is faint
suggestion of an attractive personality
in the work Of NJ. Antoine Calbet. His
little nudes, done in water color, detach
themselves from their surroundings
with some charm. There is unusual
merit in the luminous French and
Venetian Impressions by M. Louis
Montague, and the same qualities of
fresh light and color lend mild sig
nifcance to the paintings by Lieuten-
ant Fare. We note one or two other
salient types--M. Desire-Lucas, the
painter of "The Blacksmith Shop; M,
jacques Blanche, in his gorgeous flower
piece, decoration very handsome In
color; Mr.. Rupert Bunny, skilful de-
lineator of the nude. The rest of the
show is made up Of work we'll done

The French Salon has it's respiendent

would have been given to this exhibi-

say, Besnard. The rank and file are

Hopkinson Smith
A Collection of His Water Coll
Ors and Drawings

The memorial exhibition of works by
William NJ. Chase recently held at the
.Ferargil gallery is followed by one
dedicated to F. Hopkinson Smith at the
Knoedler gallery. It is pleasant se-
quence. These men were contempo-
raries belonging to the well estab-
lished regime in modern American art.
Chase was, Of course, an infinitely
more significant artist. He was a
born painter, who tried many modes
and was effective with them all Smith
was faithful to one medium and one
manner, to one type of picture. But
he shared in Chase's disposition to
produce a likeabIe design, picture
agreeable to live with. He had, for a
man who was trained as an engineer,
an amazing facility in water color. He
was, il anything, a shade too facile.
It was that incompatible humorist A.
q. Frost, we believe, who drew d
earacia caricature Of characteristic
Smith and appended the legend:
You can bet your bottom dollar, we're

A little paint. little work, andsiots of

Bat the good-natured fling pointed
to no fundamental defect in Smiths
method of conaposision. He knew what
he was about. II ne sometimes psac-
ticed q notable economy Of means ne

suits. There was certain amodnt o.
Injustice in some quarters about the

instances give promising account Of

At the Durand-Ruel Gallery there is
an exhibition about evenly divided be-

Henry Moret. Both represent the
movement initiated by Claude Monet,
though D'Espagnat would seem to have
felt also the influence of Renoir. They
are types Of color enriched and mel
