main through February l6.
More than 40 works from this col
lection were shown at the National
Gallery of Art in October, 1914, as
q loan exhibition from Mr.. Adams.
It included some of the outstand-
ing prints and drawings, which are
again on view. Among them are
the noble portraits OF Auguste
Rodin. Cardinal. Manning, Dalou,
the sculptor; Hector Berlioz, COM
poser; G. F. Watts, English painter,
and a self-portrait. These etched
portraits by Legros are superb and
have been compared to those OF
Van Dyck. Legros was himself a
magnificent subject for portraits by
other artists. His handsome fea-
lures, intelligent and benevolent
expression and patriarchal beard
gave him Biblical appearance. as
one can see in the etched young
head of him by Bracquemond, and
the -lifesize bronze by the
French sculptor Dalou, as well as
in three self-portraits, one etched,
another a beautiful pencil drawing,
soft and silvery, when he was grow
ing old, and the third, another etch-
ing, retouched with sepia, showing
him in 1906 (aged 69).
Painted Church Fresco at IA.
Alphonse Legros, born in Dion,
France, in 1897, showed such extra
ordinary talent that at IA he was
engaged to paint a fresco decora-
ton in church at Lyons. After
such practical application as ap-
premiership to house decorators and
scene painters, he went to Paris
while still in his teens, studied
drawing with Lecoq de Boisbaudran,
and subsequently attended the Ecole
des Beaux-Arts. At 20, he began
to exhibit in the Paris Salon, and
to produce his first etchings; was
invited to join the little group of
'realists" headed by Courbet.
About 1860 Legros made the first
Of many visits to Spain. A fruit
of this initial trip was Lies Chan
tres Espagnol," on view in the pres
ent exhibition. A few years later,
on the advice and with the assist
ance of Whistler, Legros went to
England, and from the middle Cos
to his death in 1911, he made his
home in London, became natural
ized British subject. He made his
living with his etching and teach
ing, first as a master of engraving
in the South Kensington School of

Alec Templeton Here
On Thursday Evening

Alec Templeton, composer pianist,
will give a recital in Constitution
Hall Thursday night as one of the
attractions of G. c. Cappels con-
cert series. As has been his custom,
Mr.. Templeton will divide his pro-
gram into two parts. The first will
include compositions by Bach, Cho-
pin, Debussy and Ravel, and the
second, his parodies and IMPROVE
tsations that have delighted concert
and radio audiences.
Two new works are included In
this part of the program, Tampa s
No Grampa" and "Humoresque-Re-
harmonized." For his serious num-
bers, Mr.. Templeton writes his own
program notes in a simple, terse
witty tone. OF Rameau's "Petit
Poulet," he says that it is the only
chicken known to cackle in orthodox
sonata form. Another number or
the program will be his "Serenata,
a musical portrait of his wife.

Lawson and Jones
In Joint Recital

Warner Lawson, pianist, dean Of
the School of Music of Howard Uni

head of the violin department Of the
university. will give joint recital
in the National Gallery Of Art to-
night at 8. ,.,
Mr.. Lawson began his studies with
his father, DR.. r. Augustus Lawson,
and, after under graduate work at
Fisk University, took graduate
courses at Yale and Harvard. He
coached extensively with Artur
Schnabel in Berlin. Mr.. Jones won
many competitive contests since he
began study of the violin at the age
of 8. Later he attended the New
England Conservatory of Music and
the Ecole Normale de Musique in
Paris, and studied in Budapest. He
was a protege of the late Myron T..
Herrick, at one time American Am

most famous plate, Death of the
Vagabond," with its tragic dual
implication and its dramatic force
so admirably conveyed by the COM
position. Also on view are two OF
five versions Legros made of the
allegorical theme, Death and the
Woodcutter.
An interesting aspect Of the pres
ent exhibition is its demonstration
of the way Legros worked, OF how
carefully he built up a subject, or
changed it for greater impact. In
quite few instances, several states
of plate are shown, or the original
drawing and the subsequent print.
Although Legros left France in
his 2Os, and never returned there to
live, his native land remained a
potent force in his art, as one can
see from majority of the prints
and drawings on view. These
serene and lovely glimpses of 10Th
century French countryside are the
kind of art most of us like to live
with. Legros' handling varied
greatly; sometimes it was as coarse
and broad as quick sketching, again
| it was as fine as steel engraving
This command of technique enabled

|TheHarmOnica
Is Elevated by
|Adler's Skill
By Alice Eversman

4 new slant on musical interpre-
tation will be given this afternoon
when Larry Adler on his harmonica
and Paul Draper, tap dancer, will
give . joint recital in Constitution
Hall. The program will be strictly
classical, but the chief point OF In
terest will be the artistic sensibilities
of these two young men as expressed
through the lowly mouth organ and
through the clearcut and meaning
full steps Of the dance. What other
artists have done by instrumental
means of great complexity will be
duplicated in the dignified and pol
ished performance for which Adler
and Draper are famed.
The mouth organ is an instrument
particularly favored by Americans.
The solace and joy it has brought
to many weary servicemen during
the war can never be estimated and
at some time or other every Ameri-
can boy has found 1t his greatest
treasure. But that it could reach
the status of concert instrument
was never considered until Adler
began his series Of concerts in New
York. Then it was discovered that
this simple toy Of childhood could
rank equal to the finest and most
costly Of instruments when In the
hands Of a real artist.
Yet, although its possibilities lie
exclusively In the skill and taste Of
the performer, it attained certain
amount Of popularity In the early
part of the 18th century when books
Of instruction on playing it were
printed.
The name "harmonica" Is usually
associated with the instrument per-
fected by Benjamin Franklin, who
became interested in the fad Of
playing on the musical glasses. In
the middle part Of the 18th century,
all London was trying its hand at
this simple arrangement whereby
the amount Of water in glass de-
termined its tone and the playing
consisted of moving the finger
around the top. When Franklin
made a more scientific model, some
famous performers developed and
serious musicians wrote works for
it. Among these were Mozart and
Beethoven, the former writing an
Adagio and Rondo and the later .
little number that is now museum
piece.
Adler will play works by Bach.
Mozart, Debussy and the "Carib-
bean Concerto" written by the
French composer Jean Berger espe-
cially for the artist. 1t is said to
be the first work of Importance ever
composed for the harmonica. But
serious musicians of today have
been impressed by Adler's musi-
cianship, notably Ravel after hear
ing him perform his ''Bolero," and
Fritz Kreisler, who gave him per-
mission to play his Caprice Vien-
nois."
