lngs. "a in all. by Walter King Stone
of Ithaca, N. Y. opened in the Nat
ural History Building. United States
National Museum. on June 4 to con-
tinue until the 9th. Mr.. Stone is
one of the many-talented few being
not only painter but an illustrator,
decorator, teacher, lecturer and
writer.
Born in. New York State in 1875.
he studied at the Pratt Institute.
Brooklyn, and under Arthur Dow,
designer and painter. In time he,
himself, became teacher-assistant

University.
Among Mr.. Stones best-known
illustrations are those made for Log
of the Sun" by William Beebe and
for three books by Walter Prichard
Eaton, as we'll as for his own writ
ings. From 1893 to 1902 he was in
Washington, during half of which

National Geological Park. During

tice of this exhibition will follow.
In the Art Notes of last Sunday
the statement appeared that the
National Commission of Fine Arts
was established by act of Congress
in 1910. This was typographical
error and the date should have read
1910. The Star regrets the error.

BY ELENA DE SAYN.

A symphonic poem created by q
Russian on theme inspired by an
English poet is bound to excite Gu
riosity, especially if one knows that
the poet is Byron and the composer
no less a figure than Tschaikowsky.
Victor's release of Manfred" in a
volume containing seven discs, re-
corded by the Indianapolis SYM
phony Orchestra under Fabien Sc
vitzky, and containing exciting
pages of 'programmatic" music
should be gratefully acknowledged
because this stupendous work finds
its way but rarely into a concert
hall.
If TsChaikowsky. according to
data, found it difficult to think him.
self as Manfred that magician dom
mated by remorse at the loss of his
beloved. his music does not give this
impression. Yet, unexpectedly, one
comes face to face with another
TschaikoWsky. a sterner and much
more complicated character, posi-
bly, approaching the hero of Byron's S
fancy.
Those who love him as a master of
Russian folk art will not find his
familiar personality in this partic-
ular work, for Manfred" stands in
class by itself. The recording is
excellent. such as the name of Vic
tor guarantees. If one may take
exception to some stereotype read
ing by the conductor, who fails at
times to coax out greater despair
from his grunting BASES, greater
anguish from his violins or more
spirit in the ''vivace con spirito,"
the performance on the whole is
worthy of attention.

he Travelled and painted extensively
in Southern Spain, Brittany and
London.
He first visited New York City in
1885 for an exhibition Of his work,
returning to the Netherlands where
he made Amsterdam his headquar-

Review of Recordings

Borodine's symphony No. 2 in B
Minor" (Columbia) is another in
teresting Russian opus, this time,
because Of its national color. an out
come of exhaustive penetration into
native history by the composer. This
comparatively short work consists of
the material originally intended for
the opera prince Igor" which was
never properly completed. Epic in
character it is stimulating, especially
its first movement and the wild
dance of the last which Dmitri
Mitropoulos, at the head of the
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra
brings out with good effect. The
sixth side of the three records, con-
tains the Sailors Dance" from
Gliere's Red Poppy" Ballet.
Those who cannot account for
their mild interest in Mozart and
search in vain for the reason, may
find an answer in Prokoieff's "Clas-
sical Symphony in D Major, !Op. 25'
Victor, which. while catching the
spirit of the former, infuses it with
the Goth century wit and provides
the excitement which reflects our
modern way of life. Vladimir
Golschman with the St. Louis SYM
phony Orchestra makes the music
agloW with brightness.
Supported by Sir Thomas Beecham
and the London Philharmonic Or
chestra tColumbia), Joseph Szigeti,
violinist, gives an extraordinary ac-
count of himself in Prokofieffs vio-
lin Concerto in D Ma jor." the music
of which he infuses with beauty and
conviction. To do this work justice,
the artist must feel the sympathy
and confidence of the conductor
back of him, otherwise it is apt to
fall fiat,

I he Art World
William NJ. Chase and His Era

Mr. Chase took his first class abroad,
for sketching and better acquaint-
ance with the great masters. This
became yearly habit-summers
were spent in Spain and in Holland;
in Florence and Venice, Munich and
London. In London he came into
companionship with Whistler and
Sargent-both of whom painted him,
and he them. In Florence he met
and formed friendship with George
de Forest Brush, who was enam-
cured, more than he. with the Flor
entine school but with whom he had
much in common. 1t was the Span
ish school which allured Chase, to
whom Velasquez was the greatest
of masters. This was the influence
he handed down.
When Chase first established him
self in New York he took a studio
in the Tenth street building and
furnished it lavishly with antiques
acquired abroad and in this country.
His ambition was to have the finest
studio in New York, an ambition
which it is said he achieved Not
only did Chase do some of his best
painting there but made it a rendez-
vous for artists-painters, sculptors.
writer's and musicians. Here on one
occasion. Carmencita danced for the
delectation of Mrs. Jack Gardiner of
Boston and others, Chase and Sar-
gent acting as hosts.
"Friendip Callers"
Chase was always socially in
clined. He and his wife kept open
house both in New York and at
Shlnnecock. There were many
friendly callers Unfortunately
this very brilliant artist had ex-
travagant tastes and was therefore
constantly in financial difficulties.
despite his successful career. At
one time he was, like Whistler, sold
out" but on his last evening be-
fore this mortifying event he gave
an elaborate dinner at his home to
his friends as farewell to plenty.
Also it is recorded that before he
sailed for Europe. to economic, he
purchased three rings of antique de-
sign and execution, as the nucleus
of new collection. Money to him
meant nothing-beauty everything.
But above all things Mr.. Chase
loved to paint-no matter what, so
long as it possessed inherent beauty
and he had the ability to make
the beauty he saw manifest to all:
as for example in the English Cod"
now in the Corcoran Gallery's per-
manent collection. He was broad in
his sympathies and generous in his
attitude to others. 1t was he who
brought Manet to notice in this
country.
In appearance Chase was some
thing of dandy but he probably
felt that to be we'll tailored and i'm
pressive was due to his profession
the position he occupied For Rich
mond, Ind, on order, he painted
an excellent self -portrait-"Chase
in His Studio" Another and quite
different self-portrait was done
shortly before his death, which oc-
Cured in 1916. This was for the
Uffizi Gallery in Florence and re-
quested by the Italian government
very high honor.
The year after his death a list of
public institutions in which he was
represented was compiled and the
number of art museums in this
country alone was found to be eigh-
teen. Thus the little Indiana boy,
son of shoe dealer, who so ardently
desired to be an artist, was justified
Evening star., 1943-06-13

in his self-aSsurance and determi-
nation.
Chase was one of a galaxy of
stars and to those who knew him
best he shone most brightly. His
pupil Katharine Metcalf Roof has
written his life story with sympathy
and sincerity. What his colleagues
thought of and felt for him was
well voiced by Cecilia Beaux, fellow
artist, who said, He was always so
right; his judgment so dependable,
and his kindness and generosity
never failed 1t is we'll to be so
remembered.
