MI EXHIBIT DREW
HT OLYMPIC
CROWDS
STADIUM DESERTED WHILE
THE FRANCO-BRITISH SHOW
WAS LARGELY AT
TENDED
RARE PICTURES ON VIEW
French Paintings Disclose
a Greater Sincerity Than
Those of Englishmen.
LONDON. —Everyone fancied that '.hi
great attraction of the Franco-Britisn
Exhibition would be the Stadium with
the Olympic games. And what has
happened?
As a matter of fact, the Stadium was
frequently deserted, while the stu« 'o
palace devoted to French and English
art has awakened Immense Interest.
The national exhibits are beperately
grouped, and it is well for the more re
cent painters of Great Britain that they
are not forced into close comparisons
with thier French brethern. Fortuna
tely for the Britons, the dead masters or
both nations have been admitted to the
exhibition, but the French hflve availed
themselves only sparingly of this li
berty.
The British, on the other hand, have
drawn unhesitatingly upon their masters
of bygone generations.
Yet, even with th© tremendous edvan
tage to the British exhibits of having
supplemented the galleries of living
painters with a museum of retrospec- !
tiy© British art, 1 saw more life and i
more truth in the French art section.
Both, I make haste to add, have
nobly in their fight for honor. In fact in
this Franco-British palace one suffets
from a positive plethora of a.ti&tic
wealth.
FRENCH SCHOOL IS
SUPERIOR TO ENGLISH.
What most impressed me was the su
periority of the French over the British
school in the matter of sincerity. One
sees that, while the British school lias
labored more or less steadily for the
past hundred years to atain beauty of a
! conventionalized kind, the painter across
! the Channel have worked in the direc
tion of truth.
Nor do the tendencies of the two
schools seen to be changing to any
marked or noteworthy extent. Only the
Ideal of beauty of many of the British
painters has of late degenerated into an
Ideal of prettiness, while the French iiow
strain at times less after what I might
call truth tastefully edited than after
realism.
With rare exceptions, too, the BrUish
painting lack the temperamental quality.
They are seldom bold, more seldom rug
ged, never compelling.
In the French galleries there are
paintings which at the first glance
startle one. But they are usually the
results of temperamental sincerity.
As Instances of supremety British con
ventionalized art I may mention the
“Bower Meadow” of Rometti and “Le
Chant d’ Amour’’ of Burne-Jones. The
compositions painfully and most serious
ly ordered on the pattern of the early
Italian masters, the figures all artfully
posed, the original humanity of the faces
replaced by idealizations.
To preceive what comes of the T#er<
worship of prettiness in art, you need
only look at the works of Poole and Mor
ris—all grace, all sickly loveliness and
‘ simpering charm. One of the worst

WANTS
Woman Who Can Keep
a Secret
Mias May Dowling, the
official telephone operator
of the Republican head
quarters in New York. She
was picked out for having
the ability to keep a secret
famous portrait by Carolus, Duran,
Bonnat, Benjamin Constant and Duez;
two Rosa Bonheur, and many more de
lightful canvases.
Taken as a whole the French pictures
and the French sculptures in the exhibi
tion are singularly sane and honest Few
! of the perverse eccentrics who flaunt
i themselves yeear after year on the walls
jof the salons have been admitted Lo tne
j galleries, while if one may judge from
j the dency of almost all the compositions
on view-, the juries responsible must have
selected the exhibits with a predeter
mination not to call a blush to the most
sensitive cheek.
In one of the rooms, I was glad to see
“Les Foins,’ (“The Haymaker.”) a work
by Bast Jen-Lepage, which, twenty years
ago, caused excited controversy. Timo
has mellowed and dignified the realism
of the painting. The peasant gurL who
stares at vacency, while her male com
rade, stretched out on the haytield,
snores in peace, has lost much of the
coarseness which shocked one when tho
picture was first exhibited. She seems
less bestial.
Picquant by the contrast is suggests
is the charmingly delicate “Young Wo
man at the Water-Side,” by Heilbutt.
It was hardly kind to send no better
example of Puvis de Chavannes than his
“Beheading of John the Baptist.’ The
John who kneels in the center of this
[ composition, awaiting death by tno
sword of Herod's myrmidon, hus little
in common with the hero of the Salome
episode.
MANIAC, WITH RAZOR,

Stiles, seeing he had a maniac to
deal with, told him to watt, and go
ing from the room, summoned the
police. After a struggle the man wai
locked up and taken to the county
jail.
