Current Observations
About Art and Artists

The Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts proposes to exhibit in it's
galleries from April II until May 8,
1923, the best examples obtainable of
portraits by the eminent American
artists, Charles Wilson Peale, Rem
brandt Peale and James Peale, says a
preliminary announcement from the
secretary, John Andrews Myers. In
order that the exhibition may be as
representative as possible, the manage
ment of the Academy requests the
owners of such portraits to communi-
cate at once with the secretary stating
whether the Academy may rely upon
their cooperation. A list of the titles
of portraits available, with the approx
mate sizes of frames, would be of great
assistance in arranging the exhibition,
the circular concludes.
A late series of paintings done off
the coast of Bermuda is the feature of
an exhibition being given by Nicolas
Macsoud at the New Monterey Hotel,
Asbury Park, N. J. Included, also, are
number of portraits and miniatures
and paintings of the mystic East.
September is the closing date of the
show.
A portrait Of the late Joseph Hodges
Choate, painted by Mrs. Ellen Emmett
Rand, was unveiled last week in the
Merchants National Bank, Salem,
Mass, which stands on the site of the
house in which the statesman was horn
Miss Mabel F. Choate, of Stockbridge.
daughter of Salem's distinguished son.
presented the painting to Henry M.
batchelder, president of the bank, and
at the dedicatory services on Wednes-
day number of prominent New Eng
landers were speakers. These included
Miss Choate, Congressman A. Piatt
Andrews, Of Gloucester; Judge Alden
r White, of Salem; Charles A. Choate
)r, OF Boston; the Hon. Michael T..
Sullivan, president of the Essex BAR
and Judge Charles A. Murphy, presi-
dent of the Salem Bar Association.
"A loan exhibition of Danish photoy-
raphy, contributed by members Of the
Copenhagen Photographic Amateurs
Club, is being shown at the Art Center
under the auspices of the Pictorial
Photographers of America.
A fine group of drawings and na;nt-
ings by j. M. w. Turner together with
other famous paintings of various Eu-
ropean schools belonging to the COL
lection of the late Ralph Brocklehank
was set for sale last Friday at Christie,s
auction rooms, London. There were
twelve examples by the famous English
water-colorist in the lot, including a
view of Pembroke Castle" London
From the Battersea Fields" "Fruelen.n
or Lake Lucerne; "Constance," a view
looking down the Rhine, and, perhaps
the most interesting of all, "The Bea-
con Light" This was painted when
Turner was approaching his last phase.
and, according to an account in "The
Daily Telegraph" will cause a stir"
This Beacon Light" is one of those
communings with the mighty forces of
nature which utterly bewildered the
middle nineteenth century critics and
reduced them to such impotent STRIFE
lures as "Soapsuds and Whitewash !"

by P. de Whit and panel by Hans
Memling Heads of Jews and Roman
soldiers"-also were to be sold.

with his publishers. In 1854 he wrote
to Escudier, editor Of the Gazette

with his publishers. In 1854 he wrote
to Escudier, editor Of the "Gazette
Musicale:
MANY years ago I formed a very
favorable opinion Of the talent Of M.
Cesar Franck, after listening to his
trios, which to my mind are most re-
markable and far superior to other
works of the same character published
in recent years. There are also many
beautiful pages in his oratorio Ruth
which bear the stamp Of an admirable
and we'll sustained style"
From Rome List also wrote to Ca
mile Saint-Saens praising the young
French composer for his Veni Gre
ator and his second concerto, later pro-
viding substantial encouragement re-
garding his mass. He not only helped
this composer in conversation and let
tiers, but by presenting Samson ct Da-
lila' for the first time at Weimar.
List was greatly interested in the
career of the Italian Sgambati, and
told the Grand Duke of Sake Weimar
that he considered him an artist of the
first rank. To Craig he wrote:
ut is great pleasure to be able to
tell you of the pleasant impression by
your Sonata, OPP. s. This music shows
a vigorous talent for composition, we'll

couragement which you deserve. They
will not be lacking elsewhere and
should you come to Germany this
winter, I cordially invite you to stop
at Weinar so that we may make each
others acquaintance"
1t was again List who recommended
smetana to the Leipsic publisher
Kistner, and who first at Weimar, then
in Rome, guided the bubbling spirit of
his young Spanish disciple, Isaac AL
beniz.
"Glinka, Borodine, Rimsky, Cesar
Franck, Camille Saint-saens, sgam-
bait, Grieg, smetana, Albeniz," ex-
claims NJ. Jean-Aubry. "The fathers of
the new musical schools Of Russia,
France, Italy, Norway, Bohemia and

He adds that modern Germany might

List, for the destruction of the musical
monopoly Of Germany is partly his
work as the moving spirit in awaken
ing the national musical consciousness
of Europe.
Before discussing the music Of Spain,
Italy and England, M. Jean-Aubry pays
homage to Chopin and Debussy in sue
cesslve chapters. The mass of material
already in print regarding these two
musical personalities and their works
does not make the French writer's re-
cent contributions less valuable, but
these chapters are of less Importance

RUSSIAN TRADE
IS HNMPERE BY
SOVIET POLICY
Only a Few Ships Now Call
At Odessa, Which Port
Used to Be Visited BY
700 Vessels Yearly.

Odessa. March 31.-The econom-
io deadlock from which Russia
is now suffering can be seen best at
such port as this. The wide sea
is at the gates of this once rich city.
yet barrier more potent than
water separates the land from new
prosperity. This barrier is politics
and the result of politics.
Free trade between the citizens
of Russia and the outside world is
not now possible between individ-
uals. Russians must deal with for
eigners through the foreign trade
board. headed by Leonid Krassin In
London. This policy Just now is
blocking trade prospects here as
elsewhere.
To this port once came yearly
700 ships. Today few Greek
trading ships call here from Cen
stantinople carrying flour and
sugar. Now and then a British
vessel delivers a cargo of coal paid
for in London. American vessels
are landing seed grain purchased
in the same manner.
Local business men say there can
be no real trade with Russia until
all the communist regulations are
thrown overheard, private property
fully recognized a stable money Sc
cured and Russia restored to pro-
duction, through longtime foreign
loans.
These men are not anti-com-
munists just for the sake Of poll :
tics. They want the communists to
stay in power, provided they will
make trade possible. They say
the communists are the only people
capable Of holding Russia together,
that any new government would
mean another revolution and more
ruin.
The first task of Russia and
especially of agricultural Dkraine,
rs to grow wheat Here in Odessa
there are still the representatives
OF a half dozen American, British
and German agricultural implc-
ment firms. In the old pre-War
days they sold each millions OF
dollars wolth Of machinery. To-
day they are ready to begin again
under right conditions.
Their agents could save mex
years harvest In this granary OF
Europe IL free trade were permit
ted. Their steam plows could do
the work of the horses killed off
under the communist regime. They
could get spare parts and repair
the old machinery now in the VII
lagos.
But this they are not permitted
to do. The government, if it sup
plies such machinery by payment
of gold abroad. Is obliged to turn
it over TO inexperienced farmers or
ones without capital. Machinery
bought by the government in small
quantities has, in certain parts OF
Russia, been resold by the receivers
lin order to get bread.

MINERS IN n. NJ.
NOT LIKELY To
JOIN WALK OUT
Properties in Northern Part
of the State Are Worked
BY Non-Union Men; No
Trouble Feared.

Ration, N. NJ, March 31.-There
Is little danger of a great walk out
of the coal miners in northern New
Mexico. Practically all mines in
this section are open shop mines
with the unionistic attitude very
much in the minority. The Off
cials of the larger companies have
no fear of general walk out or
trouble of any sort from their men.
The mines have been running for
only one and two days a week dur
ing the past year and those who
are still on the Job have no desire
to quit under the conditions that
have prevailed in the past. There
are about 1900 miners employed in
this section between the two great
coal companies, the ST. Louis,
Rocky Mountain and Pacific com
pany, with general offices in Ration
and the Phelps Dodge corporation
at Dawson. There are several
smaller concerns which employ
very few men.
It was impossible to determine
today just how many of these men
would strike tonight.
The average daily production OF
coal in Colfax county is about 5000
tons. 1t is estimated that nearly
two-thirds of this amount is ship
ped out of the state. The Colfax
county coal field is probably the
largest in the state, IL not the en-
tire west. 1t is estimated by geolo-
gists that there are 50,S05, 900, 100
tons of unmined coal in this dis
trict.
