No actor before the Broadway foot
lights has so won himself in the grace
of the playhouse patrons, than Louis
Wolheim, who plays the star role in
"What Price Glory" -
As interesting as the play, is the
life of Wolhcim himself. Wohcim was
formerly instructor in mathematics
and football coach of Cornell Univcr-
sity.
That he must have been good

play the manly game of football as it
should be played.
But his depressed proboscs rather
contributes to the effectiveness of his
part as hard-boiled captain in the per-
formance.
Last week, Wolheim was treated to
surprise. After the show was over,
stranger came behind the curtains
and handed Wolheim a $50 check.
1t seems that some ten years ago,
Wolheim, who was in Mexico, met a
New Highlander, who had lost all Of
his property in one of those revolu-
tions which were then almost daily
events. The New Englandcr had not
even enough money left to get back
home
Wolheim handed him $4,000.
"What is your name and addrcss?'
asked the New Englander, $50 that |
can repay you"
Forget it," said Wolheim.
Last week, the New Englander hap
pened to stray into the Plymouth and
saw Wolheim performing. Tho

identified him at once, and came be-

which they graduated. Dr. Lipman,

tural school at Woodbine, from whence
he graduated.
But at the Woodbine school, Mar

AftG his graduation, however, Mar

from which The Scribe in its final
form evolved as the Isracls master
piece.
Besides the scribes there are at
least two other subjects which are
famous examples Of Israels' art. In
4 Nan of the Aneiopt Race, the ar
tist has caught an oxquisitely quizzi-
cal expression which many an art
student has journeyed to The Hague
to study and admire. What another
might have seen as merely trading

a sympathetic study, A Son Of The

spoke Of his genuine pleasure in COM

could learn of historic Jewish places
on his journey, or with whom he
could renew the employment of the
Hebrew vernacular.
lsracls is most generally compared
with Rembrandt and Millet. His debt
to Rembrandt Israels never tired of
acknowledging. One day Israols was
asked whether he thought certain
canvas was genuine Rembrandt. He
looked at it, and said: "No. l could
have painted that myself. could not
paint a Rembrandt" But despite
1sracls' modcsty in the sight of Rem
brandt, Israels is by no means an
imitator. 1sraels' mood is softer than
his great predecessors; there is far
more of Jewish "Rachmonos" in
lsracls' than there is in Rembrandt.
lsraels is also entitled to immortality
for his etchings, which would require
another article to discuss. Above all,
Isracls will live in the history of
Dutch art for his warm personality,
which enabled him carry his age with
him in return to the love of simple,
homely, contemporary models for the
artists brush. If the art of Holland
may be said to have had revival in
the nineteenth century, Israels will
be credited with having largely
achieved it for his country.

Where Romance Gave Way to
Realities
A Note on Josef Isracls, Painter of
Peasan'ry

Today is the fourteenth anniver-
sary of the death of Josef lsraels,

teenth century Holland. In the artist
world of Europe this is n day for re-
calling a potent and beloved figure.
who, for a quarter of century, held
sway as the grand old man of CON
temporary painting.
The art of Israels is in striking de-
gree reflection of his personal ex-
pcricnces and their influence on his
outlook upon life. One phase of this
connection between his environment
and his art is special interest to jew
~, as will be seen later.
The son of banker in Gronigen,
small city in north Poland, the fu-
ture artist had financial career def
initely mapped out for him by his
father. But the sphere of banking
had no attraction for the young man
whose romantic inclinations ex-
pressed themselves in an early ac-
quired love of paint and brush. The
talent proved too vivid to be denied,
and Israels, at the age of twenty,
found himself studying under Jan
kruseman, a master with penchant
for careful detail and pure color. As
the young man Israels made his re-
quired rounds Of the Trippenhuis gal
leries in Amsterdam, he was stirred
| by the boldor and more virile work
of those seventeenth centuries mas
ters, who, led by Rembrandt, immor-
taize1 the homcliness of the Flemish
peasantry on canvas. But these sub
surface disturbances within him ap-
parently disappeared under the guild
ance of Jacques Luis David, under

ings such wcll-worn titles AS Hamlet
and his Mother; Prince Maurice OF
NosSGa beside the Body of his
Father; The Temptation OF EUo, etc,
The workmanship in the early efforts
is smooth and formal, the color pure
the detail worked out with painstak-
ing care. But it is not the Israels OF
Kruseman-David predictions whom
the world will remember; he was des-
tined for far different niche in the
world Of art.
The change in lsraels' life which
enabled him to take not only himself
but the art of his country, came in
his twcnty-sixth year. Forced by a
serious illness to leave Paris and take
a long rest, he was sent for an indefi-
mite period to the little fishing vii
lage of Zaandvoort. Here was COM
plete contrast to the gay atmosphere
of Paris. Here was life shorn of all
frills: primitive struggle for exist
ence, all too absorbing to be bothered
with reflections on a classical or ro-
martic past. In these simple, serious
fisher folk Israels awoke to a new un-
derstanding of the seventeenth cen
tury Dutch masters. 1t was one thing
to have looked at a Rembrandt can
vas of a peasant woman from a re-
clining seat at the Trippenhuis in
Amsterdam. 1t was quite another
thing to discover the significance of
Rembrandt through walking and liv-
ing with the realities on the Iaand-
WORT sands. Rembrandt, who had be-
fore been for Israols an heroic figure
from afar, now became Israels, a
great preacher, calling upon his dis
ciple for Holland those days of its
prime when Dutch artists were not
afraid to revitalize the art of his
country by bringing it back to a
vivid and inspiring Interpretation of
contemporary life. Here, all about
him, were poignant realities that
needed seeing eye to penetrate and
a bold, courageous brush to bring
forth in bold relief. Israels felt a call
to ally his life with the lives of the
peasants; and his work from the time
of the Zaandvoort visit well exhibits
how faithfully Israels served his new
ideal.
There is nothing eliminate or over
gentle about 1sraels' handling of his
material from this point on. He has
