THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PIIJLADEtiPmA, WEDNESDAY", APRIL 2G, 181.
THE KINK ARTS.
The Vnlon League Kerrptlont.
The third series of art receptions at the
Union League House will commence this even
ing, and will continue to the end of the week.
AVe understand also that arrangements will be
made to keep the collection open to visitors In
the daytime during a portion of next week.
The works exhibited at the first series of recep
tions were almost exclusively those of Phila
delphia artists, those at the second series were
largely from the easels of American artists out
side of Philadelphia, and those at the third
series will be both Amcrlcau and foreign, and
will be fur the most part contributions from
the private collections of connoisseurs of this
city. A private view given at the League
House last evening, enables ns to speak with
regard to the character of the exhibition,
although many of the pictures were unhung
and a number were yet to be received. It was
asy, however, to determine that the display to
which the favored holders of tickets will be ad
mitted this evening will be a remarkably fine
one, and that In high artistic qualities It will
average better than almost any art exhibition
ever given in Philadelphia, with the exception,
perhaps, of that of the Sanitary Fair.
The new works of Philadelphia artists are not
very numerous, but there are several attractive
figure pictures, landscapes, marines, and por
traits, by Messrs. Isaac L. Williams, W. II.
Willcox, E. Moran, T. Moran, W. T. Richards,
T. J. Fennlmore, A. G. Heaton, E. D. Lewis, J.
R. Lambdln, O. W. Uonarroe, E. D. Marchant,
T. Henry Smith, and others. A number of in
teresting pictures by Philadelphia artists that
are not new, among them several of Mr. Rolher
mel's most admired works are also In the exhij
bition.
There is an excellent representation of the
works of the Amerlcc-Europoan artists, and it is
a pleasure to say that these are almost uniformly
up to a high standard of excellence, and will In
every way compare favorably with the strictly
foreign ictures In the exhibition. Prominent
among the productions of American artists re
siding in Europe is "Arvlragus bearing Imogen
as Dead," from the fourth act of Cymbeline.
by E. n. May. This is a large and im
posing picture, vigorously painted, and much
better in color than is usual with this
artist. The figures are life-size and are
admirably expressive, rand the picture alto
gether Is highly poetical in treatment, and
finely illustrates one of the most beautiful
scenes in one of the most beautiful of Shake
speare's plays. Another American artist who
has made a high reputation in Europe
Is Mr. O. II. Boughton, now resid
ing in London. Two of his works in this
exhibition, "Brittany Peasants returning
from the Field" and "The Return of the May
flower" are excellent specimens of his style.
Mr. HeHry Bacon, formerly of this city, but who
is now residing permanently in France, is repre
sented by a couple of small works, very French
In manner and very good. These are entitled,
"A Gleaner In Normandy" and "An 'Ecrevlsse'
Fisher of Dieppe." Mr. Howard Helmlck, a
forme: student of our Academy of Fine Arts,
who has also been residing permanently In
France for some years, and who has successfully
cultivated the French stylo of painting, con
tributes four clever genre subjects, "The Select
Novel," "The Lunch," "A Page," and "Playing
with Edge Tools."
The exhibition Is very rich in fine specimens
of the best modern European artists, and espe
cially of the modern French landscape painters.
The "Arcadia," by Corot. a twilight scene with
a group of nymphs dancing In the foreground,
is exquisite in sentiment, and is, to our fancy,
the most poetical work in the exhibition. Near
to this hang pictures from the easels of Isabey,
Daubigny, Millet, Pilloty, Duprez, and Rousseau,
all of which are worthy of careful study. There
are also pictures by Vautler, Meyer von Bre
men, nerzog, L. Knauss, Professor Jordan,
and Henrietta Ronner. The characteristics of
the English school are exhibited in the works of
D. Maclise, C. Stanfield, C. L. Eastlake, J. B.
Pyne, C. R. Leslie, W. Collins, and T. 8. Cooper.
In fact the exhibition is a most interesting
one on account of the opportunities it affords
for a study of the different styles of the various
modern schools of art, American, English,
French, and German, and it cannot but afford
much gratification to all lovers of art. Com.
posed as the exhibition is, ia a large measure,
of gems from private collections, it is a gratify
ing proof of the artistic culture which exists in
this city; and if the gentlemen who display so
much taste and judgment in the purchase of
pictures for the adornment of their own walls
would only interest themselves in an active
manner in a great public art institution, we
might, without serious difficulty, obtain such a
one as would be a credit to the city, and which
would prevent ns from being thrown in the
shade by New York and Boston, where projects
for art institutions of the first Importance are
being pushed forward with much enthusiasm.
The Academy of Flue Arts.
It was hoped by the friends of art in this
city that when the directors of the Academy
of Fine Arts sold their lot on Chesnut street,
between Tenth and Eleventh, with the avowed
intention of procuring a better site and putting
up a building larger and belter adapted to the
uses of the Institution than the old one, an en
tirely fresh departure would be made, and espe
cially that an earnest effort would be made to
secure a greater amount of popular sympathy and
snpport than heretofore, which would enable the
Academy to be what it professed an art school
as well as an art museum. The defects of the
system upon which the Academy has been
managed for the last three-quarters of a cen
tury are radical, and as its directors have
chosen to make it a close corpora
tion, and to jealously guard against
any oute'de Interferences, so they now
find that the publle at large, Including the great
manufacturing interests of this city which,
whether they know it or not, are deeply con
cerned in the existence of a properly conducted
art school are perfectly Indifferent to the fate
of the institution, and will lend no assistance to
Us revival. The directors have purchased a site
which la in many respects a very suitable one,
but they have been enable to obtain any contri
butions towards a new building, and every at
tempt thus far made in this direction has come
to nothing. In fact, the public are strongly
convinced that the Academy of Fine Arts is, in
no proper sense of the word, a public institu
tion, and that the chief end of its existence bat
been, not to educate American artists, but to
enable a small coterie of very respectable and
eminently worthy gentlemen to enjoy a certain
distinction as art patrons. If this
bos not been the end for which
the Academy has existed, it is all events about
the only practical result it has accomplished; for
its alumni who have achieved permanent suc
cess have almost without exception been those
who have finished their art education In Eu
rope. It is. no-wonder, then, that it has been
found Impossible to raise money for a new
building, especially ns no effort whatever has
been made to secure the co-operation of the
public at large, or to exclta a general interest in
the project. More than this, the old sqaabMo
between the artists and the Academy has been
transferred to the Board of Directors, and the
house is now divided against ltaclf.
One party Insists upon devoting
its energies to the establishment of an art
museum in the Park, and the other is deter
mined to stand or fall by an Academy of Fine
Arts in the heart of the city. Each party is able
t advance many sound arguments in favor of
its pet plan, and each party Is determined to
rule or ruin. The long and short of the whole
matter is that the affairs of the Academy are in
a hopeless muddle. Not enly is there no money
to be had for the erection of a building, but it
Las been found impossible to carry on the
schools any longer; so the instructor has been
dismissed, and the Academy of Fine Arts Is to
all intents and purposes dead and buried, with
but a limited hope of resurrection.
This condition of things is lamentable on
many accounts. Most intelligent persons will
readily admit not only the desirability but the
necessity for an art institution in a great city
like this; and the vigorous manner in which art
museum projects are being pushed In New York
and Boston renders it of extreme importance
that something should bo done at once in the
same direction In Philadelphia, especially in
view of the centennial celebration which
is rapidly approaching. The Academy
of Fine Arts collection, with all
its defects, is decidedly the Kost important in
the country, and it is an admirable nucleus that
should by all means he made use of in starting a
new art institution, if it is possi ble to do so.
The Academy of Fine Arts, however, has always
stood in the way of those who were disposed to
start a live institution, and rather than it should
continue to do so, it would bo much better to put
aside all idea of utilizing its collection, and to
begin anew without paying any regard to it
whatever. If the gentlemen who have the affairs
of the Academy in charge, however, are dis
posed to take an entirely unselfish view of the
situation, and to adopt a truly liberal policy,
they may yet be able to do something. They
all have much influence, which, if rightly exer
cised, would secure the aid of many who are
now either indifferent to all art projects or who
hesitate to support any enterprise of doubt
ful advantage. There Is no time to
be lost, however, for the idea of a new art insti
tution is increasing in popularity every day;
and if the Park faction of the Academy board
is shrewd enough to avail Itself of the advancing
tide of public opinion, it will soon be afloat on
the high sea of fortune, with every prospect of
accomplishing Important results, while the con
servatives will be forced to remain where they
are now, stuck fast In the mud, with nothing to
do but to pass their days in gazing regretfully
at "Death on the Pale Horse" and other works
of high art now adorning the walls of banks
and warehouses, and echoing in their souls the
poet's words:
"Of all tne sad words of tonarue or pen,
The saddest are these It might have been."
MUSICAL. AWD DKAMATIC.
The City Amusements.
At Tna Academy of Music a representation
of the brilliant spectacle of The Black Crook
will be given this evening. Independently of
the beautiful scenery and gorgeous dresses and
accessories, the great number of features intro
duced in this spectacle make It a very entertain
ing exhibition, the popularity of which is well
oeservea.
At thi WiLsuT Mies Ella Barns will this
evening personate tbe "Lady Elizabeth" la Tom
Taylor's drama of 'Ihcixt Axe and Crown.
At the Chesnut the performance this eve
ning will be for the benefit of Mr. Charles R.
Thome, Jr. The drama of The Two Friends,
the play of Dreams of Delusion, and the farce of
A Hull in a vntna triop will constitute tbe en
tertainment. Air. 1 borne is an actor of fine
talents, who has achieved a reputation of which
be may well be proud during the brief time he
has been at the Chesnut. We hope he will re
ceive the compliment of a crowded house this
evening.

large audience. Mr. Lennox Is a comedian of
great ability, and he is a well-established favor
ite with Philadelphia olaveroers.
At the Arch the benefit of Mr. W. H. Wallls
will take place this evening, and we hope that
a proper recognition of his merits will be made,

please the public. The comedietta of Matri
mony, Mr. Craig's piece entitled A Dress Re
hearsal, the farce of The Wedding Breakfast,
ana uraig s burlesque ot JJon Juan win De per
formed. Messrs. Holmes and Trefts. the box book
keeper and the ticket-taker, will have a joint
benefit to-morrow evening, when an attractive
bill will be presented.
Tbe benefit of Mr. Adam Everly on Saturday
erening next ought to attract a very large audi
ence. The bill announced for the occasion is an
excellent one. and Mr. Everly is well known to
be a most refined and artistic actor, whom it
will be a pleasure to see ence more on the Arch
street stage.
