A COLONNADE AT THE OLD PALACE AT GREENWICH

Gallery notes
It is a hopeful sign of increasing
art interest when we observe through¬

out the length and breadth of the

land new institutes of art being built or old

ones being converted into better forms, mu-
seums being planned and erected, besides
numerous galleries springing into being. Here
in New York, where there is less need nu-

merically for new galleries, we take pleasure in
recording the Milch Gallery at 108 West 57th
Street, which bids fair to outstrip most of its
competitors in its admirable arrangement and
completeness. Its destinies are under the con-
trol of Mr. Rehn, whose knowledge of art and
artists, geniality and good business ability will
go far to bring success. They have opened pro-
ceedings by a show of paintings by Inness,
Fuller, Rehn, Sully, Blakelock, Murphy, Wyant
and Ryder, and their selections have shown a
decided demand for quality.
Several artists are no longer with us. The
death of William M. Chase, quickly followed by
that of H. W. Ranger, Gedney Bunce and C.

Noel Flagg, has caused wide-spread comment and
regret. A commemorative article upon Mr.
Chase, with reproductions of some hitherto un-
published paintings, kindly placed at our dis-
posal by his widow, will shortly appear in these
columns.
The enrollment of Mr. Martin Birnbaum in
the firm of Scott & Fowles is guarantee of some
interesting exhibitions during the season. A large
assortment of never exhibited Augustus Johns’
works will certainly go far to block traffic on
Fifth Avenue when the day arrives.
The New York Water Colour Club and the
National Association of Portrait Painters for the
greater part of November have attracted visitors
to the American Fine Arts Building, the Vander-
bilt Gallery being devoted to portraits. Space
only permits one illustration and Gold. Jacket, the
work of De Witt M. Lockman has been selected,
not with the claim that it was the best picture
there but as a well-painted, well-patterned por-
trait that has created very great interest. The
Thomas Eakins canvas is a masterpiece of
draughtsmanship and dimensional force, a ver-
itable warning to the more modern men who
