| Paintings Show Ralph H. White As Connoisseur .Collection at the American Art Galleries Depicts Developmcnt of T a s k Fr o m First Inception Beauty His Primal Fancy fortest Piirchases Included P4ctures That Rcquired [ High Appreoiation of Art ???????? By Royal Cortissoz b The paintings brought together by .the late Ralph H. White, of Boston. and just now on exhibition nt thc I Hmerican Art Galleries, form one more ot those collections in which, as in a ; Ajstorical chapter, wc may behold a I characteristic phase of our sesthetic de ?velonment. Mr. Whito repeated in his : f-xperi nc# a familiar story. He began , by buying?the pictures he liked, pretty [ pictures, facilo Continental studies of eostumc, highly finished sentimentali ties. j Then as the years passcd he learned to like better thir.gs. and he ended by assetnhling the collection of a connois? seur. There are paintings here which l could have been acquired only bv an fostructed lover of the tine arts. They will invite spirited competition, we be lieve. when the sale takes place at tho Plaza on to-morrow and Friday eve nings. A Cnlt for Dauhigny Thc best qualities of the collection come out in the examples of the Harbi r.on school. Mr. White's "Paysage Britannique" is a souvenir of Corot's early period, an- interesting landscape in which the few trees and especially . the great oak in the fore'ground beau tifuliy disclose the master's gift for the delineation of form. Tho whole picture is a delightfully personal affair. From other owners there came, by the way, two later Corots ' Nos. 125 and 128), which are uncommonly beautiful things, small pictures, perfect in composition and perfect in their dinphanous tenderness. Mr. White found one conventional Rou.??oiu, the "Forost at Fontaine Folks?59c Saved! Yt's, and your patience at well! Sub icribe to The Saturday Evening Post Avoid the "all sold out" cry. Address postcard, Box A-829 Tribune. bleau," but U is superh in its handling of woodland mnsses. Its companion is the "Bridge at Macon," a painter's pic? ture. a raro example of tho delicacy which was also within Rousseau's scope. This collector had something like a cuit for Daubigny, .and evcry one of his six landscapes is a gem, cvery one following the artist's habitual mode of design, but all of them conveying fresh and iino impressions. Most captivat ing of all is tho "Landscapo With Figures." From another collector comcs tho re markable "Hameau, aux Dunes," a sketch painted on panel, which shows Daubigny in his most intimate mood. There is a singlo example of Dupre, the little "Fisherman's Home," as ex j ceptional a souvenir as the landscape just cited. One of the two figure subjects by Diaz belonging to the White estate, the "Woman and Child," is a good | piece, but more important than either of them is the landscapc from another collection, the "Approaching Storm," which is equally impressive in its de? sign and in its dramatic sky. Only one of the three Troyons, the ^'Ploughing," evokes favorablo comment;' Impressionism Lacklng Impressionism eviilently made no groat appeal to Mr. White, and from other estates not named in the cata logue come the few excellent illustra tions of the school that appear in the exhibition?Monet's beautiful "Coastal Landscape," Boudin's glittering "Dun kerque Harbor" and the exquisite "Dutch Canal by Moonlight," painted by Jongkind. Tho Dutch school at i large is interestingly represented. There are good examples of Mauve, | Bastert. De Bock and others. It is an i oasy transition on the same level, if I not to a higher one, from these pic 1 tures to the landscapes of the Ameri I can school. There are two small paint i ings by George Inness which possess ! Iino qualities and there is an earlier j work of his done on a large scale j which is a truly splendid page from i his history. This "Sunset on the River" dates jfrom 1867, a time when tho Hudson ? River influence should, humanly speak ; ing, have hardened his style and i squeezed the sap out of his work. But ' in the breadth and Juminosity of this j noble canvas the distinction of his ; prime is clcarly prefigured. With the landscapes by Inness we may group 1the three or four Blakelocks and the ; pictures by Wyant, Bruce'Crane and J. Francis Murphy. The American con i tingent well holds its own. Traversing the remaining works, one l is occupicil quite literally in separat | ing the wheat from the chaff, though ; even as wc say this we recall a curious .episode in the matter of the chaff. Any I thing of Vibert's would, as a rule, go automaticaNy into that category, but the observer rnust think twice before [ he thus dismisses the charming Span ! ish study, "Entrance to the Monas tery." j This is not the typical, mechanically painted Vibert at all, but a labor of love executed by a true artist, who was for once moved sirnply to please him? self. It belongs of right in the com ; pany of those thoroughly artistic things which we note in the more mis cellaneous wing of the exhibition, things like the two lovely Monti<?ellis, the bit of still life by Vollon, the capital landscape by that little known painter, Marilhat, the pictures by Isa bey and tho several characteristic paintings by Jacque. The space at tho American Art Gal lerles not occupied by pictures is filled to overflowing with tho porcelains, early pottery and other Oricntalia left by the late Ernest A. Bischoff. These. things aro to be sold through ilvo afternoon sessions which bogun yester? day. The collectien is supcrior io thst which might ordinarily bo expected where the stock of a dealer is con cerned. It begins on the thrcshold with a really remarknble group of large Ming statuottcs, including an oxtraordinary pair of monumcntal lions, all of these objeets notablc for their rich glazing, and it culminates in the uppcVmost room with an amazing display of blue and white. Between these two spoctaculnr groupa there lio any number of beautiful snuff bottles in various substances, many fine works in bronze and other metals, important Buddhist carvings and glow ing companies of ainglo color glazes and decorated porcelains. There aro also half a dozen huge carvod and painted screens. There aro more than a thousand numbers in the catalogue, a rich array of treasures of an unusu ally uniform quality. -.

Sealed Tigfif ept Right A4 Film Censorship Opposed by Mayors In 4A Free Country' System Declared to Invitc Abuses; City Ordinances to Prohibit All Improper Posters Are Advocated From a Staff Corrcapondtmt ALBANY, Feb. 24.?A special com? mittee of the New York State Confer ence of Mayors reported to-day against legislation for state censorship of mo tion pictures. The committeo has been investigating tho motion picture in dustry for weeks nnd has come to the conclusion that "logalized censorship of the lilm is a dangcrous departurc in a free country." The report declarcs the only promLs ing mothod of regulating tho produc tion and exhibition of motion pictures "so that the public shall receive tho greatest possible good from this art is now in operation in the form of the na^pnal board of review." It recom mends, however, that cities enact ordi? nances which will control by licensing the 1 per cent of films that do not come under the aupervision of the national board of review, and govero ing display advertising in front of the | places of amusement. It would prevent misrepresentation of a picture or the advertising on post I ers of "the female form in the nude or \ clad in one-piece bathing suits, tights, j or other lascivious and suggestive cos | tumes." It would also prohibit posters j depicting matter of an immoral or in decent nature, offensivo acts of vio lence or of human torture, calculated to incite riot. j In its rccommendation against legal i/.ed censorship of the lilm tho com? mittee says: "It is no less dangerous than a cen i sorship of the press or the stage, for I it places a ban upon ideas. Tho in I decent, improper and immoral film can be eradicated by the samo methods as ? are used against indecent, improper i and immoral books or plays. lt may ! make tho passing of films a matter ! of political influcnce and result in con j sequent abuses of pow.er. lt does not j rotlect public opinion but merely the ; personal views of the censors them . selves. The experiment which has been i tricd in other states does not warrant | New York making such a radical de I parture from the principles upon which j our government is founded. Nor does i there appear to be the necessity for ? that departure. Great as has been the j improvement of the film in recent I years, it would be greater and more | rapid were the menace of censorship eliminated and the art allowed to de velop along its natural lines, governed by common sense and the good taste of the American people." Grace Northrup, Soprano, Heard in Song Recital Grace Northrup, a soprano who pos sesses a light voice of pleasing quality and some srnso of etyle, gave a recital yesterday afternoon at Aeolian Hall. She was best in the opening Italian group and notably in "Quel Ruscelletto" of Paradies and Legrenzi's "Che Fiero Costume,'' which she gave with con siderablc flexibility and command of legato. Other composcrs on her pro? gram were Chausson, Laparra, Grieg, Rachmaninoff and Moussorgsky.
