chances are that this "unkindest cut"
will operate
For his work, though commendable,
Is not exciting enough in itself to be
talked about. Mr.. Lachman began life
as a photographer, and 1t is possibly
due TO that that his landscapes are
largely typographical He has a sure
eye for the pretty scene. The bridges
he selects to paint In old villages would
pass anywhere as artistic, and the
quays and towers and ruins are all Al
in themselves.
The fame of the very great land
scapists is not founded much upon
their versions of the haunts of the
tourists, and the reason why is made
plain by James Arlington Symonds
when he explains why few first rate
landscapists waste much time upon
the Bay of Capri. The point need not
be insisted upon. The obvious has its
dangers. and Mr. Lachman Is far too
intelligent not to progress beyond it
as he goes on.
Deraln is such an important figure
in the world of modern art that the
exhibition of his work now available
in the Drummer Galleries deserves to
have many visitors. In many ways it
exhibits Derain's powers to advantage.
There is a landscape called lie
Fleurie" in his most noble style. and
one of the Parliament Houses at
Night" that is vigorously colorful.
There is something that cannot be de-
fined in Derain's still lifes that is i'm
mensely impressive-a certain loose
ness and largeness of style-and two
of those in this exhibition are espe-
cially distinguished. Mr.. Brummers
show has been helped by discreet bor-
rowings from Mr.. John Quinn's collec-
ton.

of course, is not the important point
The question is what were they doing
there in such place at that hour Of the
night unchaperoned?
The drawings for "a garden Enclosed
is my sister, my spouse; spring shut
up, fountain sealed and for Thy
lips are as thread of scarlet" are
among Mr.. Wilson's most interesting
achievements,
Mr. Wilson paints with a free inven-
ton and at times with a disturbing
thinness. 1t is impossible not to COM
pare him with the late Paul ThevenaZ,
for the aspirations of the two artists
Rave something in common. The severe
training that Mr.. ThevenaZ managed to
digest in youth and to forget in his
workshop gave him an ease that Mr..
Wilson may well ponder over before he
piunges deeper into his Bible studies.

is an endowment rather than an ac-
quirement; but he also followed reliS-
iousy the spirit of Cfateaubriand's
dictum. It may be that he could not

thing that it appears now that lie

Now, although all of these sculptures
are excellent and several of them are
much more than that, it does not fol-
low that the best use of them is to
add them to sculpture department in
a museum. In spite of their success
Degas's fame will rest upon other
things than his sculptures, and in
fact, sculptors themselves have moth
ing to learn from them that they
could not learn from the famous
pastels. Degas is important enough to
have a special little memorial room
devoted to his processes of work, pref
erably in Paris, where he lived, and
in such place as that l would put
these bronZes. There they would be
a lesson not for sculptors so much as
for painters, who would be reminded
that there is more In the art OF paint
ing than mere painting.

Emma Ciardi was born in Venice in
1879 and enjoyed the advantages of
some training from her father and of an
intimate acquaintance with his work,
but on the whole she appears to have
developed her art without special acad-
emic instruction and her subject matter
Is of remarkably original character.
She has devoted herself largely to sub

palaces OF Italy as associated with n

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-There is
just one set formula to be followed
in selecting an all star team Of any
kind and il is quite brief and to the
point. 10 wit:
Disregard your sense Of humor. if
any It is the only serious joke in
this fitful existence.
As we write this, we have at hand
the first of all-Eastern selections TO
appear in print They made abso-
luteiy not the slightest mention of
Gouinlock, Of Cornell. who looked
like the best end Of the Eastern cam
paign in the Penn game last week.
1t only serves to emphasize the point
that this selection business is a
catch-as-catch can enterprise at
best.
That was an honest difference of
opinion. 1t is not always so. how
ever.
Only Part Of the System.
1t may be noted as time goes on
that few players from the Navy.
Penn. state Lafayette, Pittsburg and
W. < J. will appear on the teams
named. Do not be affronted 1t is
only a part of the system that calls
for the critics to follow the obvious
in selecting only players on winning
teams. Apparently a man, however
accomplished. cannot hope to play
good football for a loser.
In eKtenuatlon of any breach OF
good eye sight. we may have seemed
TO commit in setting forth our var
ious choices we will say that nine OF
them are the result of personal OBJ
servatiOn and two others purely
hearsay. We have been informed by
many experts, however, that Cuban
Of Brown. is the best tackle and He
witt. of Pittsburg. the best line
cracker in eastern football There
fore. they are named as a concession
to the conventions.
The selection OF Gray. OF Prince
ton. at end: Cross. Of Yale. at guard:
Garbisch, Of Army, at center, and
owen Of Harvard and Kaw. of Cor
nell. in the backfeld. was pre-or-
dained They were the noteworthy
stars in their positions of the east
eTn season.
CNNA Id -til
Owen ran some 81 yards against
Yale and perforce will be selected or
nearly every team. We like 10 fee
that we would have named him. il
the performance covered only 81
inches. There is too much of dis
position 10 select a star for what he
does on one play or in one game
preferably a game
For this reason the fact that
SnIythe ran wild against the Navy
is only incidental to his selection as
first team quarterback. There We're
two real Quarterbacks in the east
namely. Smythe. Of the Army and
Buell.. Of Harvard
Other outstanding figures not al
ready mentioned include Carney
Bolles. Parr. Barchet. Cullen and
Conroy Of the Navy; Hanson and
Ramsey. OF Cornell; Comerford and
Heaphy Of Boston College; Robert.
son. Of Carnegie Tech. Thurman. and
Miller OF Pennsylvania; Cruikshana
