A small but very choice collection of paintings by masters, both ancient and modern, has been brought together by the Art Committee of the Union League Club. and will be opened to members aud their guests this morning at 10 o'clock.

There are only twenty-one pictures in all. but each represents a master in one ot Lis better moods Among the painters are Rembrandt. Van Dyck. Frans Hals, Gerard Terburg, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Hans Holbein, Corot. Dupre.

Zlem. G. D. Leslie, Al bert Moore, Montlcelle, Alma Tadema, and Bouguereau. The place of honor, In the centre- of the left wall, has been given to the Rembrandt, the portrait of a young girL Upon the left is hung one of the most charming of all the pictures, a portrait of Frans Hals by Van Dyck.

The painter Is represented as paus ing, with his palette knife resting In the paint, to regard the- visitor. At the left of Frans Hals la a Dutch genre picture of Gerard Terburg' a woman, apparently a serving maid, meditatively lifts to her lips a wlngolass. which has evidently done for a gentleman, sleeping, near at hand, with his head upon the table. "The light shim mers and gleams in the glass. Beyond the Rembrandt is a head by Hans Holbein.

The subject is not agreeable, but the painting Is in the artist's brilliant style, and very little cracked. In the cor ner there Is one of Frans Hals's little heads. and beyond it a characteristic landscape by Jan Wynants, with the figures filled In by Wouverman. The work of Sir Joshua Reynolds is rep resented by a portrait of the Bishop of Rochester. His Grace is represented In his best clothes, with much lace, carefully pain tea.

jxcept in tms picture, tne pigments used by the older men, although occasionally rich and warm, were not bright. There is an odd contrast in the lively tones at the modern end of the gallery. At the right of the entrance are Albert Moore's Com ing Storm and Aima Tadema's The Col iseum." The first represents three or Mr. Moore's warm-haired girls, or. rather.

Mr. Moore's girl in three positions, seated upon a marble bench to wach some Jightnlruc. The color scheme, wherein white and light green predominate, is as pleasing as flowers that bloom in the Spring, and the crink ly natr or tne maidens ana tne muiutorm folds of their soft drapery are flawlessly painted. The effect of the picture is one of perfect harmony, yet one asks whether it wouia nnany oe insipid. Tne Alma Tadema la enhanced by a striking frame.

The sides are pilasters, and a pediment crowns tnem. Tne subject is a scene upon a housetop in Rome, with the Coliseum in the background. Two wo men of the sunniest Roman type of beauty are eagerly watcrung a trlumpnal procession that passes in. the street below. In the middle ground is a bronze statue of a kneeling woman, and at either Bide are great marble vaseB.

Next hangs a picture by G. D. Leslie of children and a dog at play upon a lawn. M. Bouguereau's Innocence looked upon as one of the best examples of his work that has ever been shown here.

It represents a woman with a sleeping baby and a lamb in her arms. Critics say that the conception, not particularly strong, is poetic, ana tne tecnnique is marvelous. The flesh tints are as clear as any the artist has painted. For tne rest or tne pictures, the Corot is a corot. and only vanes from all the other sunset pictures of Venice by the same artist in that its sky is a little more translucent than usual.

The Montl- celli. was Dainted in a happy vein. The exhibition will be open from 10 to 5 clock, and again' in the evening, daily throughout the week. TATA-T0T0 IN GERMAN. An Operetta-Vaudeville at the Irvine Plnce Theatre.

To judge by the constant laughter and applause from the audience which crowded the Irving Place Theatre last evening. "Tata-Toto," the vaudeville or operetta-vaudeville, was as entirely satis fying as Director ConIed could desire. The piece is down on the programme as a vaudeville, but the plot running through it is too clearly defined to make the word entirely applicable, and there are enough bright, attractive songs brought In here and there to warrant its being called an operetta, though there was more dialogue than is usually to be found In the operetta proper. Tata-Toto is a translation from the French, bv Victor Leon, and it retains much of its French piquancy in the German version and that characteristic Is trans mltted vto Frulein Elly Bender, the visiting star of the caste, and even more to Fniuleln Reichardt, who played Cesarlne and was pretty, dainty, and in a French maid's part, though an exact defi nition of her role might be difficult to give. Tata-Toto was very well gowned where it was gowned.

The plot of the play Bathers about Tata-Toto the dual (part of a harum-scarum scuooiooy, 10-iu, ana ma twin and young lady sister, Tata. The play begins with Toto at school, and- ends with some very much mixed up elopements in which Tata is Toto and Toto is Tata, and Frauleln Bender, with a little help from a confederate, does some very ciever worn. There Is a distinctly French touch In the last act, where Tata Is undressing to be Toto and Toto Is undressing to be Tata, and both appear from time to time in various staees of undress. The real hit of the evening was made by Herr Link, as Schuiinepector Bianchet. In a vaudeville dance, bringing in most of the well-known dances or variations of the vaudeville stage.

That may have been because the clay was styled a vaudeville, and that Was the most distinctive feature of the nlav as such. Tne applause was spontaneous and hearty. Herr Senius, who took the part of Hchulaufseher Cabestan, wps also well received in a topical song. The first act was particularly interesting from the costuming of the chorus of schoolboys. The coloring was effective, but the make of the garments was everything not expected In that connection.

It was evident that an effort had been made to conceal the faf that women were on the inside or those coats and trousers. The trousers were of hrlzht red. reaching to the heels, loose and baggy, and the blue coats were as straight nn and down as they could be made to ap pear in garments loose and wrinkled. The cart, but as a general thing in the chorus the only design is to fit the figure. The vaudeville as a whole was bright, vivacious, and attractive.

In thirty minutes Dr. Potter returned and held a whispered consultation with his secretary.
