and before Coda man OF good Will
and also a good neighbor-prefer-
ably something of joiner" 1t
could not be said that Mr.. Wecter
debunks the great American heroes,
but he does relate the facts in their
everyday lives; the human folbles,
failures and shortcomings which not
only make them akin to the men OF
their own, but of all time.
Mr.. Wecter's English is pleasing
and satisfying-good American Eng
lish with a slight oxford veneer.
At the age of 22-he is now 35-he
went as Rhodes scholar to Merton
College, oxford. where he received
a B. Lift. A Texan by birth, he
has done no end of worthwhile
things. He graduated from Baylor
University. Texas. with a B. A;
then went to Yale, received his
M. A., then his sPhD.-holding while
at the latter university the Sterling
research fellowship in English. He
is associate professor at the Uni
versity of Colorado and writes for
several of the more scholarly and
conservative monthly and quarterly
magazines.
Hitler Said to Have
Painting Mellon Wanted.
Recently, in looking at the three
vermeers in the National Gallery.
a discussion arose as to whether
"The Lacemaker" was the canvas
In the Louvre in Paris with the
same title, or one listed among his
works as the Lace Worker" OF
the three pictures, The Girl With
a Red Hat The Smiling Girl
and The Lacemaker,' the latter Is
the one with the subtlist charm
It was reported-but not verified
that Herr Hitler had acquired Ver-
meers well-known painting, The
Artist in the Studio" formerly
owned by the Czernin family and
hung in Vienna, and which the late
Mr.. Mellon is said to have offered a
fabulous sum for, but it could not
be bought. The painting is sup
posed to be a likeness of the artist
himself.
It is related as an almost incon-
ceivable fact that the prolific Dutch
painter, Jan Vermeer, who painted
landscapes. town views, groups and
interiors with one or more figures,
was for two centuries completely
forgotten and his pictures sold
under the names of the more pop
ular De Hooch, Metsu, Ter Borch
and even of Rembrandt. It was in
1853 or 1860 that the French critic,
Thore, who sometimes wrote as 'W.
Burger" called attention to this.
Vermeer is said to have inter
preted life in terms of serene yet
radiant light. In the Metropolitan
Museum, New York, The Lady at
the Easement" is a beautiful ex-
ample of that Interpretation. It
intrigues one with its serene yet
radiant light, its contemplative,
atmospheric charm which seems to
partake of the climate and sur
roundings in which Vermeer paint
ed in the old Dutch town. The
'Iacemaker" in the Mellon Gallery
has this charm-perhaps bit more
subdued.
