HOMER SAINT GAUDENS
CONDEMNS FRENCH ART
Son of Famous Sculptor Calls
Modern Work Insincere.

French art OF to-day was condemned
as insincere by Homer Saint Gaudens,
son Of the famous sculptor and assistant
director of fine arts OF the Carnegie In
st;tute, Pittsburgh, who arrived yesterday
on the steamship Baltic after having
selected 1s5 representative paintings on
the Continent for the international ex-
hibition to be held at the institute on
April 81. Mr.. Saint Gaudens and
Charles Woodbury. and Charles c. Cur
ran, American painters who aided the
director in selecting the canvases, re-
turned TO the United States convinced
that American art OF the last decade Is
ot as high quality, II not higher. than
that produced on the Continent and in
Great Britain.
The cubist movement rapidly Is dying
out in France. Mr.. Saint Gaudens said.
The erratic tendency Of the youthful
artists of the Continent has. for the
moment. shaken the confidence of the
more conscientious workers and the re-
suit has been that Trench art is for the
moment cursed with insincerity, and
while possessed of occasional brilliant
flashes in one place and we'll trained but
rather shalcy tecbnic in another is far
from presenting the homogeneous whole
as OF old"
Mr.. Saint Gaudens and HIS artist CO.
Judges have arranged with the aid Of
Comte 6e Beaumont in Paris, a retro
spective exhibition to show the French
the caliber of American paintings OF
the canvases selected by the committee
eight are by hitherto unknown artists
OF France and Great Britain whose cam
vases were submitted on a chance and
were passed by the jury. There also is
n canvas by Sir William Orphen the
British painter. which Mr.. Saint Gau-
dens feels may cause some comment
when It is placed on exhibition in Pitts
burgh. 1t originally was painted for
the Irish Board of Agriculture and was
called Sewing New Seed" but the Irish
took exception to the way a boy In the
picture looked at an Irish colleen. while
a second girl sewed the seeds The
canvas later was sent to, Australia.
where exception also was taken to it in
rather forcible manner. According TO
Mr.. Saint Gaudens vitriol was thrown
over 1t and it was ripped with a PEN
knife.
or interest to the art world generally
olso was word brought by Mr.. Saint
Gaudens that the Japanese are making
extensive art purchases In Europe. His
information IL that Kojiro Matsukata,
Eon OF the former Prime Minister Of
Japan. has been delegated by the Japa-
nese Government to make the purchases
for an Occidental museum which will
he twice the size of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. Mr.. Saint Gaudens
said It is common talk in Paris that
the purchases of Mr.. MatsulSata al
ready run into the millions.

Actors Equity Now
 100 P. C. in Control
Members of Dramatic Profession Now Realize Benefits of
 Unionism.

New York, Jan. 27.-The last of the theatrical managers to recognize the Actors Equity Association has come into the union fold, making Equity 100 per cent. strong in the theatrical profession. There is now not single company playing in the United States which has a mixed cast Members of the theatrical profession realize what Equity has done for them, knowing as they do the awful conditions which prevailed in their profession before they were organ ized. Every member of Equity, big and little, at some time in his career has felt the need of friends in strange communities. Now they have those friends in every town in the land be- cause they are part of the great la bor movement. The presence of this movement has had most salutary influence on the conduct of careless managers who otherwise would give little thought to the comfort or con venience of the actors in their com- panies. It may be noted that since the coming of Equity into the theatri- cal profession the Stranded actor" joke has disappeared from the fun ny" papers.
