bers. "Peking Minstrel" is another
instance-but here the face alone is
modelled, the figure in line. Likewise,
Mr.. Baldridge's color wood block
prints are out of the ordinary,
printed after the Japanese method,
but without obvious use of the key
block-or, in other words, boundary
lines for the several colors. All six
Of these are of scenes in Peking and
show not only the unique archi-
lecture, which is a feature of the
Imperial city, and the life which
surges there, but also the transform
ing light of morning, evening, winter,
etc. For these prints he must have
cut and used from six to a dozen or
more blocks apiece, but in every
printing each has been made to Coz
incide, there is no overlapping nor
broken outlines. To the layman they
seem so simple and obvious that the
skill and labor entailed are un-
imaginable.
Cyrus lie Roy Baldridge has had
an interesting career. After grad
uating from the University of Chi
cago in 1911, when % years Of age,
he went as a COW puncher on a
Texas ranch until he was caught in
the maelstrom of the World War.
During his four years service over
seas he sketched continuously and
upon his return published his draw
ings under the title Il Was There" I"
Then came two important events-a
visit to the Orient and marriage
with Caroline Singer, a writer. In
1924 they went to China and Japan
together, made new contacts, met
artists from whom he got the
Oriental point of view, learned the
art of wood block cutting and print
ing, and jointly published volume
Turn to the East" Mrs. Baldridge
supplying the text, he the illustra-
tions.
After short interval in New
York he set sail in 1927 for Africa.
The Negroes he met during the
World War from the French colo
nies and enlisted men in the A. E.
F., as well as those In Harlem which
he came in contact with while In
New York had interested him in the
race. He wanted to know more
After a year of hardship and perilous
adventure he returned to this coun-
try with about 800 sketches and
water colors and again in collabo-
ration with his wife published a
book on white Africans and Black
which attracted much attention be-
cause of scientific as well as artistic
value. Samuel insult of Chicago
bought the original drawings and
presented them to Fisk University
of Nashville, a Negro institution, as
a permanent record of African cul-
ture and people.
It is quite lately that Mr.. Baldridge
has turned to etching-but here, too
he has scored success. His Pagan

by Ill health and lameness aband-
oning his own social status he
plunged into the so-called bohemia
Of Paris and constantly frequented
the night clubs, cafes and dance
halls. Here he found many of his
subjects for painting and in this
utterly alien atmosphere, his genius
developed. The Chicago Art Insti-
tute, from which the collection OF
prints now on view in the Phillips
Memorial Gallery was borrowed,
owns his famous canvas, "A Dance
at the Moulin de Ia Galette." He
was an associate of Degas, but
richly endowed and successful. Ellie
Faure declares the art of both of
these men cruel, and that OF Tou-
louse-Lautrec also sinister, but
neither characteristic seems to ap-
pear excessively in his Autographs
and drawings-to the contrary,
while they move one to pity they
do not fill one with scorn. In feel
ing, they are intensely French, in
spirit artificial as the world they
represent, but in rendition surpass-
ingly brilliant. What a gift the
man, dwarfed as was his body, must
have had! What a pity that 1t
should have been dissipated!
In the larger of the print rooms
are shown chiefly his Autographs
in black and white, while in the
smaller room will be found two Of
his corolful posters and quite a
number of Autographs in color
several Of the race track. These
are impressive but not comparable
with the rendition in monotint.
Between the two rooms, however,
hang four small portrait studies
of men Of middle or old age-prob-
ably, though not necessarily, etched
rather than lithographed-and with
exquisite accuracy and feeling. In
one he has used the utmost economy
of line with maximum result-the
face he has set before us, once
seen. will never be forgotten. The
other three are more obvious but
likewise fully signif1cant-gens, col
lectors' items. If one may judge the
artist by his product, those who see
this collection Of prints by Toulouse
Lautrec will never hereafter doubt
his sensitiveness nor his powers Of
perception.
The exhibition will continue to
January 20.

Exhibitions Which Haze Just
Opened and Others
Scheduled for Opening.
The last of the week two inter-
esting exhibitions by local artists
opened, but too late for review in
these columns today. These are
water color sketches Of wild flowers
in our National Parks by Mary Vaux
Walcott in the foyer of the National
Museum at Tenth street and Con-
stitution avenue and of paintings by
Lillian Moore Abbot in the Women's
City Club on jackson place. 1t is
an interesting coincidence, these ex-
hibitions coming at the same time.
as Mrs. Walcott is the widow of
Charles D. Walcott, formerly Sec
retary Of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, and Mrs. Abbot is the wife of
his successor, Charles G. Abbot, the
present distinguished incumbent.
Both are very accomplished artists.

some instances the artist has found

host Of others who charmed through
their art and received popular ac-
claim. Artists in their own right, all
belonged to the last decades of the
10Th century, and the drawings that
Toulouse Lautrec made of them evi-
denced the wide chasm between
those days and these.
Whatever the lives of these sing
ers and actors, dancers, milliners
and Others may have been, they
strove pathetically to wear the

veneer Of virtue and respectability-
to be ladies and gentlemen accord
ing to the code. not to haunt in the
face of the public, from which they
received homage, either their pow
erty or their vulgarity. To be sure,
all were not of this type. Not few
were merely trying to hide marks
left by the age-old struggle with
poverty or the encroachment of
that other unconquerable enemy,
age. Upon these Lautrec smiled
sadly, as he lifted the mask, but he
lifted it relentlessly. How enor-
mously clever is his pencil! How it
pounced upon that which was cru
cial and recorded it with an almost

minute stroke. How effectively he
indicated dress and costume-the
befeathered hat, the gauzy ruff
conjuring them from apparent Moth
ingness. He had light touch, used
short tonal scale, and a line so
sharp and sensitive that they must
have been drawn with a pen rather
than the lithographer's crayon. And
yet he deliberately chose lithography
as his particular medium of express
sion.
