She appeared In the Paul Steindorff-directsd production of Stabat Mater, and at the annual College of the Pacific spring festival' under the direction of Warren D. Allen.

So was Barnum. One was right. 0 0 VISITORS to. ths Oakland Art Gallery have been excitedly effervescing with praise this last week for the 26 tempera palntifrgs by the indisputably spectacular Oct togenarian, Clivette. We stand by patiently (patiently?) and wonder.

Yet we expected all this. It has gone before, the country over. Advertising hath wondrous charms to convince susceptible public. All except those who have really made a study of Olivette's Perhaps the trouble with us Is that we've studied him too carefully. But it seems that we are far from alone.

One thing we must say I that Clivette has evoked about as many pros and cons as any artist we know of. So we gladly give you the other side. There is much of Olivette's lite that is entertaining and sensational to relate. We are informed that some sixty or seventy or eighty or a hundred years ago (our Informant didn't seem to be sure), at the age of1 five, Merton Clivette ran away from home to join a circus. He Is' claimed to have become, famtd a utiruitf nen ne set m) world afire (we know because we have been told it is so) as a magician, and two continents went into convulsions over his weird gift.

Even such monarchs as the Ctar of Russia and Queen Victoria are said to have succumbed to his feats. He wrotA hnnka rtn mjilA mil books of fiction and verse, (We are I not assured that any one read them). With his own troupe, Clivette traveled twice around the, world, and studied Oriental art in China and Japan, so they say. He Is supposed to have been a Personal friend of Whistler, of Rodin and Degas. "Clivette painted all his life long, but very seldom sent any of his works to exhibitions," says an admirer.

"Now and then he would send In one painting on which he would place some fantastic price 850,000 or 1100,000." (How come, then, that we never heard of this great Clivette some fifty years ago? But then, advertising in those days was almost exclusively da-voted to patent medicines not patent art.) The admirer we quoted above continues; "Two year ao Mr. George S.

Starr 6t San Francisco will be on exhibition at the Stanford Art Gallery through January 27. Starr has been successful Heljman, a well-known art critic, and at the time president of the New Gallery, saw some paintings by Clivette. Struck by their astounding power, he gave an exhibition of Cllvette's works at the New Gallery, in New York City.

When the exhibition began, forty paintings in oil and tempera were hung on the walls. Within three days almost all of theso were sold, and other paintings brought In to take their place. By tho time the three weeks' exhibition was concluded, eighty-two paintings by! Clivette had passed Into the hands1 of collectors and, what 1b more significant" (and curious), "fellow artists. Such a success was unprecedented, in the nnnnls of American art, and the 'old magician' had leaped Into fame at one bound." So you see, Clivette was bound to succeed. But read further "Among the artists who admired and who in many instances pur Chased Olivette's workso were Jo Davidson, Paul Manshlp, Gaston Lachals, Maurice Sterne, Eugehr Higgins, Paul Burlln, James Scott Edward Bruce, and a host of Others.

A. C. Goodyear, Otto II Kahn, Robert Underwood Johnson and other well known collector were among the laymen who bought Clivette paintings. The concen sua of opinion was that the ele mental vitality in Cllvette's work was of a nature that no other llv lng artist could approach, and that his sense of color was almost as astounding as his power for ex pressing movement." What Is th matter with the concensus of opinion today, then? Is it that we know Clivette better now? But we further: The season after his phenom enal success In New, York, an ex hlbltlon of Cllvette's paintings was given in Paris at the galleries of Bernhelm Jeune Co. The Paris art critics and th Paris public Were excited by Cllvette's talent." But then, so are we.

Yet: "Various art critics bought his painting and almost all the critics wrote concerning nis work. (We're called one of those things and we're writing, too.) Still: It may safely be said tnat since the days of Whistler no American artist has received from the Paris public and the Parisian arrworld the attention that was given to this strange genius." don't know about the atton tlon to the genius, but certainly the bay cities are giving attention to Clivette. Odear. Odear. Clivette.

Well, anyway, we ve given you botn sides: ono well done, one rare or I it raw? give up. You have until Jan uary 81 to decide for yourself. But, in ail seriousness, we wisn to add that Clivette aeems to us to a quite' clever, superficial, flippant wielder of a.fasalle brush; man who ha succeeded In de ceiving large portion of the pub lic and some critics Into thinking that he Is an artist, instead of a good house painter gone wrong. rpO signalize the great change -L that was expected to take place through complete re-decoratlon of the Oakland Art Gallery, It was planned to hold one of the finest exhibitions recently brought from Europe by Mme.

But it became advisable-to defer changes In th gallery until autumn, and also to withhold the preoious Feinlngers until that time. However, by way of partial com pensation, twenty-three block prints and etching by Felninger occupy one of the galleries, and another gallery Is hung with water colors, pastels, block prints," drawings, lithographs, and etchings by (even renowned.

0 GIFTS totalling over $2,000,009 in value, made to th California Palace of the Legion of Honor by Henry K. S. Williams and hi wife, have been announced. The gifts comprise a million dollar art collection consisting of fifty-three paintings by European masters of various schools end periods, together with number Of articles of furnltur and four tapestries. la addition, Williams has created a trust valued at another million dollars, with a New York bank, thl trust being Invested In securities from which the Income, and later i the principal, will ultimately be used to purchase additional work of art for th Palace.

The only condition of th gift are that the works shall be pre-served in a room at the Palace, on exhibition to the general public, "and that the collection shall be known by her name." (Mrs. Williams?) (And here comes the inevitable Joker. It seems that every gift simply must have strings attached.) "Th paintings purchased shall be in oil, and th work done outside the United States, Of painter of British, French, Dutch, German, Austrian, npanisn, or "aiian P' tapestries purchased shall he of th classes known a Flemish, Gothic, and Beauvale, and shall have been made prior to 1800. Th bronie 1 purchased shall be relatively few in number, and the work done outside the United States, by artists born outside the United States." At the expiration of the thirty-year period above referred to, and within the succeeding five yeu, "the entire trust estate, both pi 'n-clpal and Income, shall be expended in tha purchase of paintings, tapestries, and bronzes of the above descriptions, Which shall become the property of the California y-ace of the Legion Of Hono' Weill i This Is a an admirable gift. But it is blighted.

And It benefits are, in great part, nulll- fled, because of the conditions imposed by the donors. Two million dollars given without conditions for the purchase ii works of art could, if Wisely used, of Incalculable profit to the community. Given as it Is, it wJI necessarily be dissipated In th acquisition Of "old masters," not ot the first quality, since the best ar not for sale. "LlttU masters" ot the long ago, and work by com-, paratively recent Masters whdse work will have had time to reach the extravagant prices duo to the false values created by collectors after th death of the artiste. However many thanks to all donors.

But all hall to makers of great gift to our galleries who Way have the, wisdom to give without ham perlng strings.
