someone starts to sing. Pre-
sumahly you have paid your
money to have a good time at

a right to carry on according to

If your good time happens

you don't have to. I think that
you will find legal precedent
for this stand.
Things have reached a point
in night-life en- terrain m ent
where anybody who gets up and
sings is considered a great art

connoisSeurs in the audience. It
has also reached a point where
a great many people get up and

that I am against shuShing,
except at concerts and private
musicals. On the other hand
well, I don't know what to
think.
Certainly when lot of peo-

hear someone sing or play, or
even get up on q stage and act,
then whispering or roaring or
any other unmistakable dis
fractions on the part of a few
individuals, are distinctly mat

If you didn't want to listen,
you didn't have to go. I can,
at any time, give you the ad-
dresses of 10 other places where
you can go and talk your head
off, if you only would. I once
offered a woman in back of me
at the theater the price of her
seat if she would go outside and
falkland she took it. That will
give you an idea of how bad a
Shusher can be at my worst.
Then, too, in a private house,
where the host has a right to
inflict any torture on you that
he may see fit after you have
wolfed down his lobster New
burgh, the least that you can do
is to tiptoe out if the singing be-
comes too uncomfortable. You
may feel that he has taken un-

There he stands, with the con-

could stand in her way.
She took the long chance
against death or capture and
one night a packet, all lights
out, dashed through the line of
Sentinels and carried Mrs.
Whistler safely to her "Jemie."
In her letters, recently dis
covered, she tells of the day that
he said: Mother, I am going
to do your Portrait"
Jennie" she wrote, "had no
nervous fears in painting his
mothers portrait, for it was to
please himself and not to be
paid for in coin; only at one or
two difficult points 1 heard him
calculate: No, I can't get it
right; it is impossible to do it
as it ought to be done, per-
fectly.'"
And later in another letter:
ooh, my grateful rejoicing in
spirit as suddenly my dear son
would exclaim: oh, mother, it
is mastered; it is beautiful and
he would kiss. me-"
Whistler called the painting:
"An Arrangement in Grey and
Black" Of his 600 works it is
the most popular, having that
universal appeal of other
masterpieces, such as THE Last
Supper" "The Song of the
Lark" and Mona Lisa" New
York and Philadelphia saw it in
1881 but no one would pay the
$1,000 to purchase it.
Two years later, upon the in.
Sistence Of Georges Clemenceau,
the French government bought
it for $500 for the Luxembourg
Museum and whistler, forced to
part with it for lack of money,
took rooms near the museum so
he could be near the picture

The French sent it on eXhibi.

year. It has since returned to
France, but it is kept before
our eyes by Mr.. Farley's repro

postage stamp. The old lady in
black with her gray cap and
handkerchief sits serenely for
the ages. She is symbolic of
mother and grandmother and,
as Keats said of the Grecian
urn, her loneliness increases, she
will never fade into nothingness.
The finest tribute to the
painting came, I think, from
young woman in England. She
had been a prior maid in the
Whistler home and she wrote
the following to a London pub
LEGATION:
81 was about 20 when 1 en-
tered their service and 1 asked
the cook about that old lady
who looked so sweet and kind,
but who had made no move
when I was shown the dining
room. The cook laughed much
at my mistake. She told me
that 1 had seen no old lady in
flesh, but that 1 had seen a pOr-
trait Of his mother. But 1t was

This year is the centenary of
the birth of James Abbott Nc
Neill Whistler and the event is
being celebrated quite fully in
England.
Over here in his native land,
nothing much has been done,
save that Franklin D. Roosevelt
and James Aloysius Farley put
Whistler's portrait of his mother
on a three.cent postage stamp
and aroused the wrath Of artists
by sticking in a vase of flowers.
Whistler's place is secure. To-
day no critic says, as John
Ruskin did, of his work: II
never expected to hear a cox
comb ask 200 guineas for fling
ing a pot of paint on the pub
lies face"
Ridicule for this American
dandy was the order of the day
in Victorian England. They
laughed at his mannerisms.
They Knocked at the idea of al
lying art with music and nam
ing his etchings and Autographs
arrangements" "nocturnes"
and symphonies" rather than
the usual descriptive titles.
A few, of course, recognized
genius in the Whistler style of
subordinating brilliant colors
and minute detail to the ar.
rangement of tones. But the
majority turned thumbs down
and the artist, by his eccentrici-
ties, his frankneSS and his sharp
wit, did everything he could to
widen the breach between him.
self and the conservatives. AS
a result, he was always before
the public in controversy and
never ahead of his creditors in
funds.
WhiStler'S career falls in with
that of Edgar Allan Poe, his con-
temporary and another genius
without much honor during his
lifetime. Their early lives run
parallel and if Whistler was to
go on to fairly old age it was
due largely to the fact that he
had q mother with him for 40
odd years and Poe did not.
Whistler was born in Lowell,
the son of an American army
engineer, on July 10, 1884. His
father died in st. Petersburg
where he had a commission
from the Car to build the rail-
road to Moscow.
Mrs. Whistler declined the
Emperor'S offer to make her
boys pages at the court and she
returned with them to America
to fit James for an army career.
At II he tried for West Point
and flunked out because his ar
tiStic mind could not grasp the
exact formulas of chemistry.
A short term in Washington
followed where ne made draw
ingS for the coast survey and
then he was off to Paris to
study art on a $300-a-year al
lowance from his mother. His
was the typical existence of the
Latin Quarter-study, hunger,
love affairs and the selling of
paintings for meals and lodging.
Whistler was not one to fol-
low the accepted standards Of
art and after four years he de-
scended on London to offer to
