ART AID - -

ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE , Within the past two years or more the writer of this column has frequently, in the public prints of the town, called attention to the abominable, hideous and altogether unpardonable sign board which is placed at the beginning of what , used to be the road round the cliff in West Richmond. This hoarding is a disgrace to the city and will remain a disgrace as long as it is permitted to stay there. It is not because it is this particular sign board. It is because it is any sign board. One of the amusing phases of what is termed "progress" is the thing that is often regarded by that much abused term. A beautiful driveway is closed up, filled with ashes, old tin cans and all sorts of unsightliness. It is now universally admitted that this closing up of the road round the eliff was an artistic crime or rather a crime against art. The setting up of the sign board or the permitting of it was equally heinous. ' The latter should be remedied. The Russian government will make no display at St. Louis. The building which was in process of ereetioii Avas ordered pulled down, and this was accordingly done. The Japanese, however, are going on with the disposition of their exhibit which will.be one of the most interesting and elaborate, especially in its art departmenr, at xne exposition, mere is now on at the llerron Art Institute, at Indianapolis, an interesting exhibition of Japanese paintings by Nakagawa, a well known young Japanese artist, whose work is being exhibited in all the principal cities. Nakagawa represents the modern school of Japanese art, and is one of those who exhibited in Boston several years ago, attracting great attention at that time. These paintings were first seen in Detroit, then in Toledo and Columbus and now in Indianapolis. Nakagawa himself arrived in this country in October last. The dramatic criticof the Journal recently had something to say about audiences as well as actors and especially emphasized the assinine habit many frequenters of the theatre have of laughing at inopportune times in the presentation of an effective piece of theatric art. This was pointedly exemplified in Indianapolis not long since at the time that splendid actor, Forbes Robertson, was giving "The Light That Failed," a dramatization of Kipling's book of the same name. One of the most pathetic scenes was effectually ruined by the idiojtie giggling in the audience of some sappy school girls who evidently thought Robertson was trying to be funny a la the vaudeville of which Indianapolis is so fond. The hero of the play, a great artist, going blind, despairingly aware jof the tragedy that is fatefully stealing upon him, all that he cares for without his reach has been drinking hard, and knowing himself drunk tries to walk steadily across the room for the purpose of getting something from the chimney piece, all of which fits into the motif of the play and is as pathetic a thing as could be imagined, and is done

with dramatic intensity but all spoiled by the incomprehensible snickering of a parcel of silly women. It is this sort of thing that drives the dramatic artist to madness. - Forbes Robertson, - admittedly one of the leading English actors before the public, has won for himself in his present tour of this country, reputation as being one of the greatest of contemporaneous actoi-s. In "The Light That, Failed" he gives an absolutely flawless impersonation of Kipling's hero a wonderful, compelling convincing, appealing piece of art. BuUin Hamlet Robertson shows that he possesses the genuine quality of greatness, if it could be called a quality greatness in his daring, original and unique interpretation of a character celebrated in both literary and dramatic art; daring because of all the other interpretations it has been given by some of the greatest names in the "history of the stage. Critics agree that Robertson's Hamjlet eclipses any impersonation of this i i i ii it cnaracier seen ai in is or any otner day. He makes it intensely human, vitalizes it, gives it such exquisite atmosphere as heretofore undreamed of. Robertson's personality is, of course, fortunate, for he does not have to "make up" for the part. Gifted with tremendous magnetism, wonderful and exypressive eyes, a voice of astounding range in the manifestation of emotion and replete with exquisite modulations and tender cadences, Robertson is an ideal Hamlet in person, but with his conception of the character and his evident scholarship his impersonation is a great one, an almost faultless bit of Beauty. It is great, wonderful and impressive Art. " "The Craftsman" belies its name for it is rapidly becoming one of the most notable art magazines published in this country. The March number is, perhaps, the best put out, from a certain standpoint, its leading article with the great French sculptor, Rodin, for its subject, being a notable one.

The writer can remember a few years back when stoutly maintaining that Mr. Conner was a good deal of a genius and perhaps the greatest ol! the Richmond Group, which was then not so designated, that she was politely sneered at, for such a position, by sundry of the local elect. That Mr. Conner is a great artist, was, however, fully demonstrated by the plaudits his work received at the great exhibition of Indiana Art at Tomlinson Hall last spring and if any one still: doubts it let him look up Mr. Conner's pictures in the Indiana Building at the World's Fair. Mr. Conner is a wonderful colorist and his extraordinary handling of medium is the marvel of all artists. Charles Mulford Robinson, the well known writer and civic reformer discourses entertainingly in the current "Atlantic Monthly," with reference, to various matters of general interest. Mr. Robinson is the author of "Civic Art." Deafness Cannot be Cored ly local application as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous services.
