285 "REMBRANDTS"
ARE QUESTIONED
Van Dyke Says Etchings At
tributed to Master Pur-
chased Enormously.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 14.--Owners
of 2S5 of the 500 etchings attributed
to Rembrandt have purchased in error
work not entirely done by the famous
seventeenth century Dutch painter,
DIR. John c. Van Dyke, authority on
Rembrandt's works, says in his new
book. The Rembrandt Drawings and
Etchings." published by Charles Scrlb'
ner's Sons.
DIR. Van Dyke, whose Rembrandt
and His Schoor caused a sensation in
art circles when ii was published four
Years ago. declares that of the 500
etchings commonly thought to be Rem-
brandts. I3 are the work of Lievens
and Rembrandt in collaboration, is are
assicned to assistants. "a are declared
absolutely Valueless and not worthy of
discussion, l. are relegated because
they do not belong TO the Rembrandt
school and more than a hundred are
called the work of Rembrandt's pupils
and imitators. Only Is of the etch-
ings are genuine Rembrandt's, DR..
Van Dyke asserts.
Excluded as Spurious.
Excluded as not being genuine Rem
brandts are such well known etchingS
as the Hundred Glider" print, Christ
Before Plate" and the Three Trees"
The Hundred Glider" DR.. Van Dyke
says, was designed by Finch and
worked in copper by several hands.
The Christ Before PLATE" he asserts,
was designed by Koninck. The Three
Trees" was originally done by Pieter
de Witt and later ruined in the sky
and foreground by shop workers who
reworked the plate to produce new
states. A state is a stage of the etch-
ing process.
Some 20 of the so-called Rembrandt
plates, DR.. Van Dyke declares, still
exist in Paris. Most of these, he says,
have been reworked or changed by lat
ter.day etchers to make possible new
states to be sold to collectors. After
passing through half dozen shops, it
has become impossible to tell what of
them is really Rembrandt's, DIR. Van
Dyke avows.

WICHITA FALLS, Tex.-One of
the few woman oil operators in the

estate operator.
Beginning as a real estate broker
in Fort Worth. Tex, several years

Among the properties listed with her
for sale was a large block of acreage
in Reeves County. That was in the
days before that section of Texas be-

She acquired a large block of the
Reeves County land for herself, sub.
