BOARD
Idiosyncracies of French Geniuses,
Works Are Now on Exhibition
' Two of tha most extraordinary gen
lusas of 'French art In tha last century
are represented by eahvaaes In tha
loan exhibition at tha Museum of Art,
which will remain open during the sum
mer months.
Qu stave Courbet, Whose portrait of
himself Is shown, waa the chief Insti
gator of tha overthrow of tha Vendome
Column In Paris la 171. A political
radical, atrongly influenced by Proud
hon and hla socialistic writings, Cour
bet took tha part of tha commune, and
led tha mob which tore down tha Ven
dome Column. Ha waa aentenced ta
alx months' imprisonment and made to
bear the cost of reatoration. It waa
thua neceasary for him not only to earn
his living by hla art, but also to use
It for tha reatoration of the famous col
umn. At that tlma ha waa already fa
mous, however, and tha government was
glad to accept his pictures in place of
a monetary compensation.
We are told that be was a strange
combination of conceit, blundering,
quick apprehension, a braggart, a radi
cal, a thinker, yet possessing a great
artistic Instinct . He himself says in a
leuer written in isou, wnen ne was si
years old, that he worked 10 years in
solitude, privation and struggle, his tal
ent unrecognised because he refused to
attach himself to traditions and to
schools. And In tha portrait at the Art
Museum lie shows himself aa the radi
cal, defiant, half fanatical realist ha
waa in life. It is a portrait which be
sides teaching us the fundamental
traits of Courbet'a technique. Is doubly
interesting as a revelation of tha man
himself the father of the realists, and
one of the real ploneara In nineteenth
century art.
In the salon or i860 courbet waa bit
terly attacked: his art was very severe
ly condemned; his critics could find for
nis pictures no epitnet too oriensive. in
1881, three years after his death, at a
sale of his pictures, seven of his can
vases ware bought for the French gov
ernment, amid great applauae. This In
OPPORTUNITY IN "MERRY WIDOW"
TO PLEASE BOTH EYE AND EAR
By R. A. W.
Candidly and without bias It may be
said ln the beginning that Mrs. "Merry
Widow," now visiting for a week at
the Bungalow theatre with her retinue
of maids, matrons, slaves and adorers,
ls a lady of muslo and merry enter
tainment. In making this statement it
must also be said candidly that her
moral training has been a little broad
while most or her associates have mod
eled theirs after the Journalistic ideas
of Paris, as set oul in different books
of present and recent vogue.
Every lady has a husband, and a
lover, or two. The scenes treat with
such episodes as dutiful wives disap
pearing into shady bowers with ardent
wooers, much to the discomfit of aged
husbands peeping through the keyhole,
with an educated bachanalia ln a
Parisian cafe and with the open In
triguing of all married women In the
cast with unattached officers of the
army- It ends with the soul kiss de
livered to the accompaniment of the
spotlight by a loving couple Just about
to leave the French cafe after a night
of revelry and wine. So, If a person's
sensibilities are not too tender for the
atmosphere, the show ls one that will
charm the eye and delight the ear.
To a person possessed of the sense of
sight alone it would be pleasing, for
the women of the company have pretty
faces and in the language of Mr. Mlsh,
superb figures, with the accent on the
superb. To a person possessed of the
sense of hearing alone, it would still
be pleasing, for the music Is captivat
ing and the voices are well balanced
and smooth. To a person possessed of
both eye and ear the "Merry Widow"
ls an entertainment composed of pretty
women, costly costumes, flowing and
seductive music, good voices and all
that.
APPEAL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO
MEMORIAL TO PILGRIM FATHERS
By R. M. Brereton, C. B.
An .nn..i la helnsr circulated on both
sides of the Atlantic for funds to es
tablish a worthy memorial to ine
arlm Fathers ln Southampton, England,
rrom wnence .cu .
which port was then, as it is now, one
of the two or three most Important
ports of communication between Eng
land and the United States of America.
To Southampton docks come the great
passenger steamers of the American,
the North-German-Lloyd, the Hamburg
American and the White Star lines car
rying many thousands of Ame,rla"8
every year, and many thousands of Brit
ons also leave Southampton on their
way to the great Republic of the west
ern hemisphere. It is amaslng that an
event of such eminent historical Import
ance "fraught with a pathos so mag
nificent" and also with a future so
great and so splendid, should have re
mained in England during the past near
ly 300 years uneommemorated by any
suitable and vistble monument
The present mayor of Southampton,
R O. Oakley, ln this too long oeiaymi
appeal to both the English and Ameri
can people states the arguments for this
memorial to the Pilgrim Fathers as
follows: "Britons who look with pride
upon the early colonial ventures of their
ancestors, and Americans who regard
with affectionate veneration the found
ers of their great federation must qual
ly desire to see so notable an incident
suitably commemorated. Here Is an oc
currence that was big with destiny
one of those cardinal events on which the
fate of both the old and the new world
turned. Its story Is full of romantic
Incident and dramatic contrast; the
greatness of its consequences set off In
effective relief Its lowly and incon
spicuous enactment.
Everybody Is Invited.
To commemorate the Pilgrim Fathers
all miy Join irrespective of nationality
or creed. For the Pilgrim Fathers, un
like tome of their contemporaries and
succaasors, showed a sweet reasonable
ness in their Independence, and a wide
tolerance ln their zeal for liberty, which
disarms as it in their own day dis
armed antagonism. They manifested a
lova for England and the English name
which endears them to their kindred in
the old country: they showed a. vigor, a
patience, a courage, a faith which com
mand the enduring reverence of the cit
izens of tha republic which they helped
to found. . '
They stand high above the unhappy
controversies which embittered the live;
Of their successors, and Britons and
Americans alike can gather in affection
and esteem both on tne kock oi Plym
outh, whert they landed, and on the
ouav of Southampton whence they
sailed.
rn tha awtaanth dav of September,
120, 103 Pilgrims finally left South
ampton in Ule Maynower, which
67 days of painful voyage brought them
to the promised land. A month was
spent in exploring the coast to fin a
suitable spot for a settlement. On the
twenty-second of December, 1620, Plym
outh Rock was selected, aiid John Alden
first of all the Pilgrim Fathers, set
his feet thereon. In any memorial to be
erected to the Pilgrim Fathers in South
ampton John Alden will claim special
prominence. Ha waa a Southampton
artist, a cooper by occupation. He is
notable aa the hero of the charming and
romantic episode ln New England s his
tory celebrated by Longfellow In his
famous poem "Tha Courtship of Miles
Btandiah?' . x. ,
mil. AtanAlah vii one of the leadlnc
soldiers of the Plymouth Bettlemenf.
Ha waa a WlQOWer. ana wmn.ru m mr-
rv Piiarim maiden "the fair Prls-
CUla," who waa an orphan. Being; a ahy
man he commissioned his friend John
Alden to plead hla suit With Prlscllla.,
dicates bla great power; today Gustave
Courbet la ballad, as tha father and tha
greatest of all realistic painters.
A different type of man from Cour
bet Adolpb MontlcelU waa no leas er
ratic and eccentric Unlike Courbet
Montlcelll made no struggle for recog
nition and it was only long after his
death that his real power waa recog
nised. The canvases were .the feature
of tha retrospective section of last
year's salon. Monsieur A. Sagllo had
spent a year In collecting the works of
Montlcelll, and from this exhibition, it
waa almost universally decided by crit
ics that this colorist Ls the peer of tha
greatest painter of his century.
When the German army was advanc
ing upon Paris, Adolphe Montlcelll did
not Join the artists' battalion, but set
out on foot for Marseilles' his home,
pain tin a- pictures for food and shelter.
One wonders what has become of these.
aad If ny of them were In M. Bagllo's
collection.
There is little doubt now that Montl
oelll waa not on the verge of Insanity
a great part of the time, yet he has
been called, nevertheless, by authorita
tive critics, the greatest colorist of the
oentury. His pictures have been called
"painted music"; hs used color only
for color's sake; fantasies in thickened
pigment, the caprices of genius, the

poem for the beauty of aound alone, and
you look at Montlcelll'a plcturea only
for the beauty of pure color.

was awakened by Delacroix, and some
of his work ls not unlike that of Dial.
At the Art Museum we are given the
opportunity to atudy six of the Mon
tlcelll canvases, and to examine his.
peculiar technical method.
The paintings by Montlcelll have been
lent by Mrs. W. H. Lartd, AVllllam Ladd
and Charles Ladd, while those by Cour

charming old codger full of drollery.
His wife, last night played by Miss
Oeorglna Leary, ajid who, as the am
bassador tearfully admits runs "a dead
heat" ln .the kissing game with an
other woman's husband, is possessed of
much voice and a charming personality.
The two real vocalists of the aggre
gation, however, are Mabel Wllber, the
merry widow, and George Dameral. the
prince. Miss Wllber sang her way Into
the nearts of her audience last night
with the one song, "Villa," alone, which
was one of the sweetest melodies heard
on a Portland stage ln many a day.
Mr. Dameral was struggling with a
cold that took the edge off his voice,
but in spite of It he made It plain
that he has a good one and knows how
to use It. Besides having voices, these
two also have ability to act.

All unknown to Standlsh John Alden,
being a "hopeful and pleasing young
man, was also in love with tns maiden,
yet he faithfully fulfilled the proxy-
courtship for hla friend. But Priscilla
would have none of this second-hand
wooing, and with her eyes she showed
her preference for John Alden- oirly. SO
they were married, and lived together
long and happily, and left 11 children
to perpetuate their memory and name.
John Alden died" at the age of 88. and
was the last of the Pilgrim Fathers to
bo laid to rest. In this appeal from the
mayor of Southampton it is requested
that all contributions to this memorial
fund be sent to him R. G. Oakley the
treasurer, at the Municipal buildings,
Southampton. Other communications
respecting the memorial should be ad
dressed to the honorary secretary. Pro

rain which create tho mighty flow of

tributions of millions of Americans who
revere, the memory of their Pilgrim an
cestors and founders of this great re
public of tha west unite with those of
England to raise a befitting memorial
