Mount Vernon Place
Church Gets Pointing

A beautiful sWest Virginia land
scape. painted by Garnet JeX. was
recently hung in the parlor OF the
Mount Vernon Place Methodist
Church. Massachusetts, avenue and
Ninth street. It is a large painting,
approximately IS by so inches in
dimensions, with handsome frame
carved for it by Massachusetts,
painter. Lester Stevens of Rockport.
The painting suggests the theme.
II will lift up mine eyes unto the
hills. whence Cometh my strength
Four ranges of mountains stretch
into the distance. with the farthest
misty blue. and the colorS of the
nearer ranges varying under drifting
clouds and patches of sunlight.
They are reflected in the fresh
green-blue river in the foreground,
on the bank of which are trees in
the vivid red and yellow foliage of
autumn. Actually. the subject is a
view of the south branch Of the
Potomac. Mr. JeX explained. with
which he is familiar in Pendleton
County. w. Va. below the Smoke
Holes famous for its scenery and
fishing. The river flows through
high ranges of the Alleghenies. the
most distant range in the picture is
Big Allegheny" the highest in that
section.
With several other Washington
artists. Mr. JeX camped and painted
there in the summer of 1885. He
chose an autumn view of the scene,
however. as the warm colors are
more harmonious with the color
scheme of the room.
The painting gift is part of
memorial undertaking by Mrs. J. w.
Smith. president of the churchs
chapter of World Social Service.
Her late husband. a minister of the
Methodist Church South. had
churches in Baltimore and several
cities in Virginia. She is furnishing
las memorial the reception room
or parlor in the Mount Vernon
Place Methodist Church. The
theme of the painting by Mr. Jex
was also her idea. and will. they
hope. awaken in those who see it,
senSitiveness to the peace and beau
ty in the world, in spite of wars

by the beautiful print of Thomas
Mexican of Delaware. engraved
from the portrait attributed to Gill
bert Stuart. the original of which
is also included in the show. over
the mantel in the north gallery.
Incidentally. the handsome Chip
pendale sofa at the opposite end
of that gallery belonged TO Mexican.
Foreign born engravers represented
with Signer's portraits, include two
Englishmen. Henry Bryan Hall and
John Sartain. both born in London
in the same year. 1908. who began
their careers there. Hall achieved
a fine reputation. in fact, with
such work as a large plate of the
coronation of Queen Victoria. before
he came to the United States. He
was a skillful craftsman and pro-
duCed many competent engraved
portraits of great Americans. largely
! of the Revolutionary period. He
! often used etching in his works,
( as one can see in his portraits of
/ John Adams. Massachusetts, and
William Hooper, North Carolina.
The latter was one of series done
for DR.. T. A. Emmett, who compiled
a book of such plates. Lewis Nor
ris. New York, is an example of
Halls engraving.
Beautiful Print.
John Sartains portrait of George
/ Clymer of Pennsylvania, engraved
| in mezzotint. is the most beautiful
print in the exhibition. Clymer,
the signer. was also first president
of the PENNSYLVANIA Academy of the
Fine Arts in Philadelphia. 1t is
appropriate that his portrait was
so admirably engraved by an out
standing artist.
John Sartain's son Samuel fol-
lowed in his footsteps, as we see
by the mezzotint engraving he did
of George Read of Delaware. Sam
uel was born in Philadelphia in
1880 and the family has been promi-
nent in that city's art circles for
more than a century. He had
sister, Emily, for many years prin-
cipal of the Philadelphia School of
Design for Women, and a brother,
William, a painter.
The Sartains and Asher B. Du-
rand were artists of greater reputa-
lions than the others represented
in the D. A. R. exhibition. Durand
produced many superb line engrav-
ings. including Charles Carroll of
CarrolltOn, from the painting by
Harding. Durand is best known
today as a member of the Hudson
River school" of American painters,
not particularly distinguished for
/ the excellence of their work, but
properly remembered as pioneers

States made them the beginning of

confines of the Coolidge auditorium

parks extensive natural amphl-
theater
But for all its ranking as veteran
quartet. its members are surprisingly
Youthful - from Jacques GORDON
himself right on around the group.
The explanation is simple. Through
the wears. the makeup OF the
quartet has changed slightly from
time to time. with Gordon remaining
always the nucleus: and Gordon
himself was only 81 when he Or
gained the quartet. He was even
then the concert master Of the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Be
cause he had been a child prodigy.
he had the experience behind him
TO warrant his holding such KEY
symphonic post at such a youthful
age. In 1920. he resigned that posi-
ton to give all his time to chamber
music and to his career as a concert
violinist
How faithful he has been TO the
art OF the quartet is best testified
bv the fact that in 1888 he received
the highly priced Elizabeth Sprague
Coolidge Medal for distinguished
service to chamber muse. Thus far,
he is the only instrumentalist to be
so honored.
Weiss Played With symphony.
The quartets second violinist is
another member in whom Washing
ton can feel a particular interest.
At 10. Samuel Weiss became mem
Der of the National Symphony
Orchestra. He played here for two
wears before he left to Join the ST.
Louis symphony But the deep at
traction which chamber music had
for this talented young player drew
him first into the Phil-Sym Quartet
and finally into the Gordon group.
William Lincer. the viola player,
was like Gordon. child prodigy.
He gave his first recital at the age
of 7. But for all his many appear
ances as viola virtuoso. his feeling
for quartet playing is strong enough
to make him submit to the sub
mergence of self. the discipline. and
the endless practice required OF
members of such a unified group as
the GordonS.
The fourth man in the quartet,
Fritz Mage. is another virtuoso who
has as well extensive orchestral ex-
perienCe. As first CelliSt with the
Vienna Symphony Orchestra. he
has played under such famed con-
ductors as Bruno Walter and Felix
Weingartner. AS virtuoso. he was
prize winner of the International
Competition for Cello held in Vienna
in 1887.
Probably no other group has intro
duced as many modern chamber
works as the Gordons. particularly
works by American composers. At
the same time, C. C. Capped, mana
ger of the Starlight Chamber Music
Series, has been officially honored
for his contribution to the develop
meht of American music So it is
highly appropriate that this combi-
nation will introduce in Washington
next Tuesday evening a new work
by a gifted young American, Robert
Mcbride 1t is amusingly tittfeId
wise Apple Five" and subtitled
"A Quintet of Today" The fifth
instrument for which it is scored is
the clarinet. and Mcbride himself
will play the clarinet for the Merid-
ian Hill Park performance.
Trained With Jazz Bands.
The young composers early train
ing began in local theater orchestras
and jazz bands in Arizona. His
formal studies in composition were
made at the University of Arizona.
