ORKOON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 2K, 1912. .'i i PUT PANTS ON G eek Sculptor Putnam States That Flourcs Were Designed According to De sires of Arciiitccts Frisco Police Arc Shocked. Arthur Putnam, the Snn Francisco sculptor, now recuperating here from ti stroke of paralysis, when informed thnt the police of Snn KrnncUco hnil demanded thnt somo of his statues venr clothes, stated thnt the work complained of consists of four panels Itortrnyiiig sntyrs and nymphs danc Inp. Ho hail never seen the complet ed panels, ns ho wns stricken shortly after dcsijninp them. They were modeled along lines desired hy archi tect and builder. Under the enption, "Art on Bnrbnry Const Receives Knockout Blow," the Snn Francisco Chronicle of January 122 contains the following with illus trations of the art in questien: Uknsc Is I.ssued. High art on the Bnrbnry Const has received n knockout blow and the ef forts of the proprietors of one of the enfes of "Terrific street" to up lift the frequenters of that thorough fare hy giving them examples of the genius or. one of ban Frnnciscos foremost artists, have been rudely frowned down by the police. They would put store clothes ou Greek satyrs, fauns and nymphs. Coincident with the opening of n enfe, supjMJsedly a prototype of its famous namesake of the Montuiurtre, Paris and ns much like it ns it s like anything else it occurred to the proprietor of the place thnt four large panels in front of the cafe could be utilized for artistic purposes. The usual Bnrbnry Const artist confines himself strictly to the portrayal of Indies of opulent charms, tinted only in the matter of clothing and of bright, not to say noisy, coloring. With an eye io the desirability of educating the "Coast" to the finer lines of art and beauty, the owners of the cafe decided to employ the best talent available and Arthur Putnam was engaged to model four flue pan els. The only instructions given the artist were thnt they were to be artistic nnd symbolic of the pleasures to bo found within the resort. The re.snlt was four pnuels in relief, show ing wood nymphs and satyrs gambol ing in the mossy dells. "Klltlcs" arc Ilnrrcd. Installed in place, the pauels attract ed considerable admiration nnd while pome earping critics who ventured into the place because they believed that the reliefs advertised the style of entertainment furnished, when en lightened, demanded redress or un dress and hnd to be led gently, but firmly into the outer nir. All went well until a few days ago, when the Anthony Comstock eye of a police man lighted upon the panels. "Ha' ye got anything inside here like ye are advertecsiu' in the frotit?" he asked. "We liavo not; 'tis not an advertise ment, 'tis ar rt." "It ha' the looks o' an advertccs ment ta mo. Who arc they)" "The artist feller said the gent's numo wns Satyr and the loidy'b Nymph. lie didu't tell me their lust names." "I'm fetill of the opecnion 'tis an ndvertcesmen an' I might run ye in for trick an' device; but I'll tell the Cap'n." He did, and the captain saw them too. "Th' Cap'n suys dress 'em uj put dues on 'em." The proprietor saw the finish of his expensive works of urt. "AH right; I'll put kilts on tho man mi' " "Ye will nn; 'tis nu respectable kil ties thot will go on a benstio like that. Put him in knickies, puttees an' spats an' ye like but, mind ye, nn kilties. Ye ha' owcr duys in which ta design th' costumes." Puzilctl Otcr Draperies. And there tho mutter stands. Tho drapery for the Nymph may bo eusily devised but for tho son of Hermes and Iphthiinu he is undecided between the designs of Homer and Hesiod; then ugaiu "it" might not be a Satyr after all but a Faun or Pun anil honco ho might again offend tho urtifcliu honso of tho department by dressing a Fntin in tho costume of a Satyr. Ho admits not having read any of the old vritor8 in the original Greek not hinco ho has opened tho bur ut leant nnd so far ho has not been suc cessful in securing information from the tracklayers on tho United rail roads. But tho ukaso from tho Central sta tion stands, (ho four panels must bo druped or removed within four duys and tho proprietor has about decided that tho most likely solution' will bo tho placing of canvas overalls on the figures. At tho sumo timo nu appeal has been sent to Park Commissioner and Artist Eurl Cummings, who is asso ciated with Putnam, and he, it is said, has promised to take the matter up WAR IN CHINA TO BE RESUMED ..m i i Royal Family Sells Treasures to Pro cure Revenue Premier Yuan Shi Kal Resigns Another Deluge ot Blood in Prospect.
