NEW YORK LETTER.
Honors to Joseph Jefferson—A
Countryman’s Criticism-
Three Notable Paint*
ings—How a Shoddy
Gentleman Succeed
ed in Purchasing
One of the “Old
Masters.”
New York, Nov. 15th, 1895.
Editor Times-Entehfrihk :
A short time since the theatre
managers and leading actors in
this city purchased and presented
a “loving cup” to Mr. Jefferson
as an expression of their esteem
for him as a friend ard an actor.
The spe iches made on the occa
sion, and the response by Mr.
Jefferson were of a high order of
merit. There is no living actor ip
America who stands so high as
Mr. Jefferson in delineating the
simplicity of nature. As was said
of a certain poet:
"Why, ihy vervo swells with stuff so hue anti
smooth,
That thou »rt even natural in thine art."
On seeing Mr. Jefferson in Rip
Van VViukle, one would say “that
is no acting at all; it i i only natur
al.”
The great actor, Garrick, once
said that a countryman, who had
never before been to a theatre,
paid him the finest compliment he
everreceived. This countryman
had come to London to visit a
cousin and was taken to the thea
tre to soe Garrick play Hamlet.
After the play the city cousin
asked wtiich part he thought was
acted best. The countryman said
he thought the king was acted
best. (The king lias little to do
save to strnt about.) “Why," euid
the city cousin, “we think Hamlet
was the best piece of acting.
Didn't you see how he acted when
the ghost came in ?” The coun
tryman replied, “Ho, that was no
acting at all, I should have doue
just so myself if I had seen a
ghost!” It was all so perfectly

natural it did not seem like act-
ing."
And this reminds me of the
criticism of another countryman.
An artist of London had painted
a beautiful picture. It was a row
of pigs eating out of a trough.
All London was talking about it
aud going to see it. A country
man, on visiting the city, went to
see it. He knew nothing of art,
but after looking at it some time,
be casually remarked : “Who
ever saw so many pigs mating out
of a trough that some of them
didn’t have their feet in the
trough!” This criticism killed
the picture. It was beautiful but
lacked nature.
And this reminds me. An aris
tocratic gentleman of England,
who was remarkably close-fisted
and penurious, engaged an artist
to paint a picture on his stair- case.
He said he wanted it to represent
“Pharaoh and bis host drowned in
the Red Sea.” The artist, know
ing that he would get but a trifle
for his work, painted the whole
staircase over red. After finish
ing it he called the gentleman to
see it. “Well,” said the gentle
man, “where is Pharaoh and his
host?” “Oh,” said the artist,
they are all drowned and at the
bottom of the sea. You couldn’t
expect to see them if they were
drowned 1”
And this reminds me. In the
Sistine Chapel adjoining tbe ca
thedral of St. Patera at Rome, 1
saw, many years ago, two paint
ings by Michael Angelo, one on
each side of the altar, painted on
tbe wall. One represented heaven
and the other hell. Hell is full of
all horrible things, men, women
aud children writhing in agony
among smoke and Dames. In
heaven eveiything is bright and
beautiful. After finishing the
pictures, Michael Angelo returned
to his home in Florence. One of
the Cardinals was displeased with
some parts of the picture of heaveD
and asked the pope to have an
artiBt put some drapery on the
nude female figures. He kept j
dinging away till the Pope finally
consented to let the Cardiual cm-I
ploy an artist and the work was'
done. When Michael Angelo re-1
turned to Rome and saw the liber
ty that had been taken with his
painting, he told the Pope he had
not quite finished it. And so he
went and painted a full length
likeness of this Cardinal and put
him in hell, surrounded by scor
pions and all sorts of horrible
things. On soeing it the Cardinal
was furions aud asked the Pope to
have it painted out. “No," said
the Pope, “I have some power
over purgatory but none over bell.'jj
And there I saw the picture, some
years ago, and the poor Cardinal
iu hell as he was originally paint
ed by Michael Angelo.
And once more this reminds me.
On returning from Europe many
years ago, 1 became acquainted
with an eminent physician on the
steamer. (find, by-the-way, this
is true.) He said that during the
late “unpleasantness” between
the north and the south, a man
had become suddenly very rich by
the manufacture and sale of shod
dy cloth for the army. He then
went to Europe with his family.
While there he determined to fur
nish his house with fine paintings
so he might rival some of the “big
bugs” of New York. After pur
chasing many modern pictures of
a certain artist, he said to the
aitist, “Now I want some of the
‘old masters,’ I don’t care about
the price.” The artist said it
could not be had as none were for
sale. A few days after this the
American over-heard two gentle
men at his hotel talking about
paintings, when one said, “I have
heard that one of the ‘old masters’
is about to be sold.” The Ameri
can pricked up his ears, and asked
them where it could be seen. The
reply was, “that picture is not for
you, the price is too high.” But
Dually they gave him the place
where he could see it. The cus
todian told him the same, “too
high for you !” Well, ho must
see it anyway. He was directed
to pass through room after room,
and in the last room he would find
it all alone. The American spent
half an hour in examining it. On
coming out he inqui ed the price.
“Too high for you.” “Well, the
price I” “$3,000," said the cus
todian. After dickering some
the American offt red $2,500,
which was accepted. “Now,”
said the physician who told me
the story, “I saw that very picture
and it was offered to me for $7.50,
and I wouldn’t take it. It was a
poor imitation of one of the old
masters,”
Once more and the last. A bit
