HOW HE WAS DISCOVERED
AMERICANS WERE FIRST TO REC
OGNIZE MtJNKACST'S GENIUS.
Story of the Painter of "Christ Be
fore Pilate," Who Died In a
SitIm Ibbbilc Asylnm.
The recent death of Munkacsy, the cele
brated Hungarian painter, in an insane
asylum at Bonn, Switzerland, has been
received with much sympathy in Amer
ica, for it was In this country he won
that recognition of his genius that ena
bled him to rise from real poverty and
obscurity to a commanding position in
the world of art: to exchange a carpen
ter's bench for a luxurious studio, and
Bohemian rovlngs with penniless artists
for mairlage with a countess. His two
great masterpieces. "Christ Before Pi
late," which is so inseparably associated
with his name here in America; and
"Christ on Calvary." are owned by John
Wanamaker. It was Philadelphia art pa
trons. Indeed, who purchased his first
great work? "Last Day of a Condemned
Man," which now hangs on the walls of

The life of Michael Munkacsy Is one
of the most striking of the many, ro
mances in the history of art He was bom
In Hungary in 1846. the son of a petty
official In the Austrian customs. His fa

and the family was ruined. The father
died and Michael was adopted by an
aunt who was soon after killed by a
band of robbers in her own house such

days. An uncle next took charge of him.
and at 8 years old he was apprenticed to
a carpenter. He was given no education
and taught himself by studying at night,
by which means he nearly killed himself.
His natural bent for drawing led him to
paint portraits of his peasant neighbors,
and he succeeded so well at this that, he
determined to try his fortune In the large
cities of Europe. One art center after an
other he essayed in turn, but only to
meet rebuffs, for his nationality was
against him. The academics everywhere
shut their doors to him because of his
taste for realism, not Idealism or class),

Its favor.

He -finally arrived at Dusseldorf. and
there in the late '60s, he was discovered
by the two Phlladelphlan art connois
seurs. Mr. Wllstach and Robert Wylle.
who had gone abroad for the express
purpose of collecting pictures. They found
the young Hungarian carpenter, then 21
years old. at work, at his trade, and In
his own humble, poorly supplied atelier,
painting peasants on box lids and making
the genre studies which, while beneath
the notice of the high authorities of the
school founded by Cornelius, then still
dominant in Germany, at once caugnt
the attention of the two Phlladelphlans
by their truth and naturalness. For,
though fortune and success seemed as far
oft as ever, he had Joined with the stu
dents and painters of the city In their
more or less Bohemian jollities, assisted
at dramtlc fetes, played pranks, at the
carnivals, sang Hungarian songs to his
friends and generally made merry wltn
them.
When Mr. Wllstach offered the young
painter a commission ,for a large canvas
the sky must have seemed to be falling In
Dusseldorf. But Munkacsy was not a
man to fall In either imagination or
courage at such a Juncture. He took his
subject from the Hungarian custom by
which a prisoner under sentence of death
receives and bids farewell to his friends
and relatives, and to this subject he stuck
In spite of all Dusseldorf. For all Dussel
dorf, that Is to say, the people who were
Dusseldorf to him. his artistic friends
and advisers, were naturally doubt
ful whether a young painter could step
at once from box lids and. bits of genre
to a strong, audacious and difficult com
position. But Munkacsy's self-reliance
and spirit were not daunted. He began by
preparing with his own hands the panel
on which, as a carpenter, be meant to
paint his picture, and that panel he made
6 feet by 4 a bigger surface, per
haps, than all the box l!d? he had ever
painted. Once he had made bis start
the objections of his friends -were turned
Into confidence and encouragement and It
soon became apparent that Instead of a
rash experiment, here was a thoroughly
mature product firmly knit together,
thoupht out In dramatic sequence and
worked into a thrilling pint. The mas
tery was amazing, and all agreed thai
Dusseldorf had not for long years seen a
work so true and strong.
"Tiro Month Hanging- and a Medal."
Before the picture was completed Mr.
Wllstach accepted It and paid the painter
the sum agreed upon 5000 francs a price
that was then munificent Today it is
worth at least 730.000. It Is said that after
the completion of the painting Munkacsy
fell into a reaction ot nervous despond
ency, and that great pressure was nec
essary to induce him to carry out his
project of sending it to the Salon of 1S70.
The encouragement of Mr. Wllstach and
of his friends, however, prevailed, and
the picture went to Paris. There Its suo
cess was Immediate. "Cham." the greai
caricaturist, gave it a place In his annual
pamphlet on the Salon, with the legend,

the sketches he could find in Munkacsy's
portfolio, left the first of the orders that
now came pouring in for new works, and
fame -and fortune had come to the young
Hungarian almost in a day. A little later

he entered upon his artistic career In ear
nest, and after some years of work amid
German surroundings, removed to Paris.
Gloomy Mhrtm" Imagination.
"The Last Day of a Condemned Man,"
as it was Munkacsy's first great painting,
so It still remains the strongest example
of his earlier style. It shows the influence
of Knaus, of Dusseldorf, the great au
thority on genre, but in it, as Is natural,
his gloomy Magyar Imagination shows
most powerful and most unaffected by
any artistic -environments. His work at
Dusseldorf was even more realistic and
gloomy, but in "The Night Prowlers" and
"The Old Buttermaker," exhibited at the
Viennese International Exhibition, awful
and desolate as they are. there Is wanting
something of the human touch apparent
in the "Last Day of a Condemned Man."
During this period Munkacsy was sjill
pressed for money, but after his marriage
and removal to Paris his circumstances
became greatly Improved.
The pictures which then followed were
In striking comparison to his earlier sub
jects. The Influence of the Knaus school
of genre, lively, fluent In color and peace
ful in subject, became once more appar
ent. The "Studio. ' a picture of Munkac
sy and his wife seated before an easel,
may be cited as an illustration of the
transition, and while preserving this feel
ing, he next exhibited a certain submis
sion to Fortuny, then the rage in Paris,
the effect of whose style Is marked In the
well-known "Two Families." the mother
and children grouped In argorgeously fur
nished rooja about a pet dog. who drinks
with her litter out of a saucer on the
floor. '
This period, however, was only tempo
rary, tor his latest works are once again
conceived in lofts Imagination and ex
pressed with somber power. After "Milton
Dictating 'Paradise Lost to His Daugh
ters." for which he received the iredal of
honor at the Salon of lSTS.and in which a
great historical theme was treated with
noble naturalism, he entered upon the'
field of sacred art His two recent enor
mous canvases. "Christ Before Pilate"
and "The Crucifixion." won him fresh dis
tinction at the hands of the jury.
Munkacsy was of unsound mind from
the time he hsd' a stroke of paralysis of
the spine in 1ES6. For two years he was
carefully nursed and attended by the most
skillful physicians, but last Spring 1c be
came violent and was reaiovd to an
asylum. There he grew gradually weaker
until death relieved him of suffering.

tralto quality, the tone being mezzo
soprano. The basses, too, lack the so
nority In the lower register of the south
ern basses. On the other hand, the so
prano and tenor power is very fine in a
brightness and ringing tone, produced with
perfect ease. A theory Is that the farther
north one proceeds the clearer and strong
er all sounds becone; tho chirping of
crickets, the song of the birds, the rustle
ot the leaves and the soughing of the
wind, are cited as examples. Be that as
It may, I feel sure as to the fact that
Scotch choirs. In point ot energy and bril
liancy, excel those In London.
The famous Sheffield festival choir Is
now held up as the pattern of all that Is
good in enthusiasm and performance. It
is a north of England choir, and belongs
to England's most musical county.
Every voice Is tried for time, tune, qual
ity and reading, the judges, six In number,
being stationed behind a screen, and it is
remarkable that SO per cent of the suc
cessful candidates prefer the reading test
on sol fa. The director's views of abso
luto pitch are that the average person
cannot acquire it, especially as "brains
j are a scarce commodity" with the general
run or people wnen music is concerned,
and it Is here that tonic sol fa steps in
to "help a poor dog over a stile."
NEW STAItS AXT PLAYS.
Encouragement Offered to Clever
Actors and Playwrights.
At the present rate of accumulation cf
new stars with their own plays, says the
Music and Drama, of Sah Francisco, there
is a bright outlook for the early addition
of 50 cr more combinations to the army
of attractions touting America. The, am
bitious actor of a score of years ago had
to pinch his own modest Income. and save
it by little bits to accumulate capital with
which to Induce a manager to launch him
as a star. Today it is the speculative
manager who has his eagle optic fixed
upon every bright young player 'who has
made a. hit in a special line of business
and the capital necessary to procure a
j suitable play, with the always requisite
' pictorial printing, is easily obtained.
j No other venture i3 as secure f rem heavy
loss, or more likely to pay handsome prof
its for the speculator. To begin with.
the manager receives the lion's share. If
j not the whole, of the profits, until such
time as he Is reimbursed for cash outlay,
and then the star begins to get a share.
If the play is then discovered to be un re
munerative, the speculator sells out to the
star and looks for another investment and
so they go. Reference to the prophecies
and the reliable advance notices in tha
theatrical Journals of the East will con
since the reader that mere Is likely to
be an overplus in the supply of stars with
new plays.,

''Flanks" Apollo Engagement.
Director Wild and Secretary Evens, ot
the Chicago Apollo Club, are highly in
censed over Mme. Gadskl's repudiation ot
the contract, made last October, calling
for her appearance as chief soloist in
Massenet's "Mary Magdalen." given by
j tho Apollo Club at Its recent concert.
i Mme. Gadskl claims that she has not been
j able to properly prepare herself for the
J performance, though she has had six
months time since she signed the con
I tract. It Is known thatshe learns Eng-
nvii wim some auncuuy, put tne Apoiius
feel that she should have known at the
outset whether she could have mastered
the part or not This Is the third experi
ence that the Apollo Club has had "of the
sort. Plancon and Gauthler likewise re
pudiated their contracts at the last mo
ment for one reason or another. The
greater the artists the more liberty they
seem to feel to break their engagements.
The feeling Is becoming strong here that
artists signing to appear in Important
concerts should deposit a forfeit in case
of their nonappearance. Under the pres
ent loose system, organizations like the
Apollo Club, when they prepare a work
for performance, must not only engage
their principal soloists, but a full cast or
substitutes as well. Miss Helen Buckley,
the well-known Chicago singet, was se
cured to replace Mme. Gadskl.
Mesn Trick.
A lot of stage money, advertising a late

the doorkeeper, swept the crumpled bills
Into a corner. Henry Bela5co, guardian
of the main door, walked over and picked
out a gerfulne 510 bill from the lot and
! the attaches of the house had to carry
j Ice water to Kennedy for an hour. Be

In the wide square the sound of waters leap
ing Conjures a dream of some far upland spring.
And throurh the trees that all the space en-
Tine.
A whisper ot some woodland god Is creeping;
Poor banished Nature keeping
A little foothold here hath wooed the air
To enchant the clrcllnr roofs with macla
olelfrhts.
To make of them a. say pavilion fair.
Bedizened with all lovelr opal lights.
TranaflEured to men's sights.
And far beyond the stately tower that liftji
Its steadfast stories where the cloud-rack
shifts.
The Surrey uplands heave their plumy crown;
And the faint fragrance of their hawthorn
drifts
E'en through the emoke-vell brown.
And Pan breatfcea on the town.
For token unto men, lest they forget
To worship Mother Earth, whose milk Is la
