NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
SOCIETY NOTES 
The famous painting by Eric Pape 
of Manchester, which is attracting 
great attention among New York art 
critics and leading painters of the 
country, was painted at Lookout Hill, 
the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Hays 
Hammond, at Gloucester, last Sep- 
tember, when Mrs. Grover Cleveland 
and her two daughters, Misses Esther 
and Marion were visiting the Ham- 
monds. ‘The painting, which is call- 
ed the “S.-O. 8.,” The Spirit of the 
Wireless, was posed by Miss Marion 
Cleveland, daughter of the late ex- 
President. It is an oil painting measur- 
ing 12 1-2x8 1-2 ft. Mr. Pape and his 
little son, Moritz Eric Pape, were also 
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hammond at 
that time. The large painting was 
executed in the large central hall of 
the charming bungalow where Harris 
Hammond, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. 
Hammond and John Hays Hammond, 
Jr., lives and works during the sum- 
mer season. The bungalow  over- 
hangs the great rocks and the water of 
Gloucester harbor at “Lookout Hill” 
and which is directly opposite to the 
entrance to Gloucester harbor, where 
an excellent opportunity is offered to 
study the sea. Mr. Pape seems to 
have caught the true spirit of his 
subject. Out of the clouds of the 
night through the roar and scud of the 
leaping sea, the Woman-Spirit is rush- 
ing along towards the shore and dis- 
tant dawn. Her head is foam-crested 
and her garments wind-racked; out- 
stretched hands tipped by the weird 
light—the electric spark, her face di- 
vine with the hope of saving souls. 
It is early, very early morning. The 
first golden light of dawn flashes 
across the sky and the veil of fog and 
we 
the clouds above are tipped by the 
pink and golden hues of the early 
morning light. The sea is mountain- 
ous and in the distance over the hori- 
zon tower several monster ice-bergs, 
like ghosts near which is shown, way 
off in the distanee, a great ocean-liner 
disabled with searchlight, streaming 
its misty shaft of light in the direction 
of the monster ice-berg. The ship’s 
port-hole lights are dimly 
through the fog and the ice-bergs are 
tinged with the first glow from the 
dawn. The great winged figure (for 
which Miss Marion Cleveland posed) 
is sweeping across a great wave which 
is thundering into the immediate fore- 
ground of the scene depicted. In her 
wake are other waves breaking about 
her in superb form. The sea is fair- 
ly leaping and she, the Woman-Spirit, 
seems to rise supreme in magnificient 
stateliness above the chariot like form 
visible- 
of the huge wave at her feet. Her 
wings are those of a gull and are of 
immense size, covering the greater 
part of the immense canvas. They 
are tinged by pinks and greens and 
yellows of the early dawn and the 
shades of which are of a delicate grey 
and purple. Her garment is wind- 
racked, is unlike any earthly material. 
It is of a combination of sea-weed, 
wave-forms, sea-foam, fish-like forms 
and dripping water. It is an opales- 
cent mass in coloring. In the sea, im- 
mediately in the foreground are great 
masses of broken ice, swept by the 
white foam and scum of the sea.

Epprg Foy In “Over Tur RIver.” 
Without a question of doubt, the 
appearance of Eddie Foy and his sev- 
enty-five players and special train load 
of gorgeous costumes, scenic and elec- 
tric display announced for Monday, 
Dec. 16, at the Boston Theatre is one 
of the welcome bits, theatrically, of 
the day. 
This immense organization, under 
the direction of Werba and Luescher, 
comes direct from the Globe Theatre, 
New York, where it broke all records” 
for laughter and box office receipts for 
a solid six months’ run. It is the one 
musical comedy attraction that does 
not boast of or advertise any particu- 
lar feature, because from a standpoint 
of music, life, laughter and beauty, " 
has many attractive novelties. 
Eddie Foy, himself, is a ove 
feature and recognized as the drollest 
comedian of effervescent, nati 
born humor on the American stage. 
He is a whole show in himself in his” 
latest merry novelty, “Over the Riv- 
er,’ and New York critics were unan- 
imous in proclaiming this latest role 
of his as his greatest success. 
The song hits are all whistling fa- 
vorites, while the “Cabaret” scene, 
with its riotous fun and the dancing 
“Berlin Madcaps” with their merry 
pranks, became the talk of Broadway 
during the engagement there.
