The Spirit of Christmas
According to Biblical authorities, one of the most significant demonstrations following the birth of the Christ Child was the presentation of gifts by the Wise Men. The giving of gifts has continued as a delightful custom in ceremonies honoring His birth. For the Wise Men of today, the spirit of giving has become an important part of the spirit of Christmas. Giving has always been a common bond which practice helps to unite all religions. The normal reaction of the civilized man who sees a fellow human hungry, cold and homeless is a wish to give such a sufferer food, clothing and shelter. It is a spontaneous humane response calling for our action to supply the need of others. An excusable satisfaction is ours when we are able to witness the direct result of our giving. Generosity is a normal, good impulse and it is an important part of the character in all good humans. The American is notoriously good-hearted because of his indulgence in the trait of giving. Part of our deserved compensation is the opportunity to observe the good our gift produces. By direct giving we are also assured of a one hundred percent return on our investment. The search for a proper recipient plus the personal effort entailed in the search gives one a deserved satisfaction because of accomplishment.
A collection box passed in a theatre with a bright light exposing one’s action, when the box passes without dropping a coin, leaves one resentful toward methods which force giving. Whenever a pressure method is used by paid workers to extract money, there may be excusable antagonisms. Tremendous amounts of money raised in the name of charity are forced from people by fear campaigns. These surely are not in the spirit of Christmas giving. Forced giving robs the spirit of the gift. Perhaps these methods which are the results of high pressure sales methods are as Christ would wish. A study of his “word” will leave the reader with a justified doubt of his sanction. When one is forced to give, the normal reaction is to give as little as possible to “save face.” But when one gives of his own free will, the donor is more apt to stretch his gift to capacity. We are speaking of christian practices because this is a Christmas message. Similar practices are the custom in all the major religions.

—————– Salmagundian ————————
In our Christmas spirit both the: recipient and the donor is benefitted. Each one of us is to a degre:e divine and this divinity is partially determined by the desire to help one’s fellow man. Think where you can personally do the most good on Christmas Day and then make the good deed a habit during the remaining three: hundred and sixty four days of this year. If everyone docs his part by demonstrating his good will toward men, “Peace on Earth” will be the universal reward.
Our Oasis
Was your throat ever so dry from thirst that the act of swallowing was a painful effort? Perhaps this thirst was experienced in a sick bed and you were relieved when the nurse gave you just a sip of cool water through a glass tube. Perhaps your thirst was quenched at a spring after a long hike on a hot day. Maybe- you have sweltered all day in a shell hole and your buddy’s canteen saved you. Or perhaps you were one of those wonderful restless souls who became: acquainted with the desert. Perhaps your throat was parched by the: dry heat and your thirst was satisfied at an oasis. If you have had such an experience, the significance: of the word “oasis” is then meaningful.
We have an oasis in our club. Hold everything! This is not an ad for the bar ( excellent drinks served at reasonable prices) . We really have that therapeutic oasis for which a mentally thirsting humanity is searching. We have something for the jumpy high-pressure business man who knocks over his drink when he hears the telephone ring. We know how to make a fellow who has tried to sit on sixteen parts of his anatomy in fifteen seconds relax and enjoy it. We have the release for the chap whose: springs are so tightly wound he cannot make them function logically. For the artist whose craving for understanding and appreciation can only be gratified with his kind of folk, we have companionship. Now with all this build up, what are we trying to sell? Those who have been club members know that we have one commodity. That commodity is the intangible, indefinable something that for the want of a better term, we call “spirit.” Herc in the club we are transported to a lush, friendly, cultural oasis located in the center of a grinding economy desert which drives strong men nuts. When one enters the door of “47”, values change. Inside the door it is what
6
——————————————————————————–
—————– Salmagundian ————————
[drawing of two members and a bartender in our bar]
a nun does that counts, not what he owns. The impromptu choral songs, the barber shop quartettes, the Dutch Treat Table with con,·ersation ranging from the latest ( or not so late) stories to relativity and atomic fission, the “aged in the wood” mellowness of the grill, the friendly games of chance ( open to any beginner), the quiet reading room and lounge-all these phrases, almost without meaning in their written form, are filled with mental relaxation for those seeking .1 temporary escape from our life of tension.
Go to the Library which contains volumes of the choicest art literature. Choose a book and see how quick you can lose yourself in the undisturbed flight of an unlimited imagination incited by universal art and literature. “To sleep, to sleep, perchance to dream,” and who is to say you nay.
Perhaps we are slightly selfish. Perhaps we are just thoughtless when we fail to invite our good friends to participate in the enjoyments of our oasis. If our friends are the type who appreciate the
7
————————————————————————————————
—————– Salmagundian ————————
values of such intangible benefits, why not permit them the privilege of joining us at our oasis? Don’t forget the password, “What’ll yah have?” You know, some people thirst for tangible spirits.
Don’t Trust a Business Man
Perhaps one exception should be mentioned. You can trust a good business man to get full value for his money. If you visit our grill at lunch time, you will know why the place is packed with astute business men. They know values and quality in food, therefore they have lunch at our club! ! !
Follow the Ladies
Tuesday and Thursday nights, by increasing droves, they are filling the grill. One snappy member suggested we take out the two center tables and clear a space where some conservative “hoe down” might be attempted to the accompaniment of “platter music.” Talk for a while and “shake the fodder down” for another “fillin’ “!
And how does this sound as selections from tonight’s (Tuesday, November I) Menu? Potage Magdealaine, shrimp cocktail, celery, olives and radishes, etc. for a starter. Then sea food a la Newburg, turkey with fix ins, roast beef, and a most delectable omelet to choose from as an entree. Vegetables qs ad sufficient. Buns baked in our own kitchen, Italian bread and Ry-Krisp for those whose diet permits. A Walldorf salad which the Waldorf should reclaim, and then-(force it on me), dessert was cherry parfait, Dutch apple pie a la mode with coconut pumpkin pie and other foods too fattening to mention. A real cup of coffee and if you speak pretty, a second cup a la Schraffts, except you don’t pay extra for it. Around a buck and three quarters for the whole “kit and kaboodle”. Your tip? a nice wad of the folding stuff for the faithful and gracious staff at Christmas time. If everyone got smart and followed the ladies on Tuesday and Thursday nights, we would have to put up the old red plush retaining rope at the head of the stairs leading to a packed grill.

The “Musikers” Are Coming to Life
“Gimme a buck.” “Why?” “Wanna buy a geetar.” “Sold for a buck,” said the doe. Well, it seems we got a guitar player and it seems we got some singers and like the meeting of two Greeks, we start a restroom – fer singing purposes only. Now how about that? We got the makin’ of a orchestra if’ en we only had a fiddle and pianer. One of them pup-sized pianers would be jake. A little impromptu vocalizin’ after a good mell and a short snort would be right friendly. Keep at it, Ferdie, ya got a good start.
1937 – Chateau Yquem
Did you know that down deep in the cellars of this salmagundi, we have some excellent wines of all types. A selection that will meet any taste requirement. Still or sparkling wines, native or imported, with a range of prices that goes from top to bottom. Our tops are less expensive than similar vintages can be purchased outside the dub. When you have your next private party, ask Mr. Foley to help you in your selection. Even better, don’t wait for an occasion, but try some with your dinner tonight and then select one which you wished served the next time you want something special.
HENRY O’CONNOR
That name in Salmagundi and Artist Fellowship signifies artist, gentleman and friend. Honors and merited praise are no novelty to Henry but while such demonstrations of appreciation are deeply touching to him, his personality retains its homely friendliness. Presiding or serving is accomplished with equal graciousness and efficiency.
To quote from the Program of Presentation of the portrait of Franklin Delano Roosevelt by Henry O’Connor to the National Democratic Club:
“Henry O’Connor, the artist who gave us in living colors, the features and bust of our late President, is famous for his portraiture and symbolic work. He is a brilliant and well-known portrait and figure painter, whose name is recorded in ‘Whose Who in American Art.’

A pupil of the distinguished Joseph Decamp and Abbott Thayer, Mr. O’Connor is a former president of the Salmagundi Club and for the past five years has headed the Artist Fellowship incorporated, a charitable group which was organized in 1869 to aid indigent artists.”
We appreciate the honor which has been brought to the Club and to Henry O’Connor by such a distinction.

VICTOR PERARO
An American mother and a French father produced our “Vic” in the year 1870. He was born in the city which has cradclcd many noted artists, the Paris of France. It is said that his interest in painting started when he and his nurse took refuge in the Louvre during the sudden showers. This informal and perhaps unusual introduction to art, ripened into a love which led to the E’chol des Beaux Arts. In the United States, the Art Students’ League and the National Academy of Design were honored to have Victor as a promising student. Like many of the best of teachers, he was employed as an illustrator for magazines and newspapers. The New York Herald. New York World, New York American, Harper’s Weekly and Magazine, Scribner’s Magazine, the Century, plus books have printed the fruits of his artistic mind and hands. His own books have reached the peak in the number of publications and sales. The galleries in which his pictures are among the permanent exhibits include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Smithsonian Art Museum, Washington, D. C., Historical Society Museum of New York and the Museum of the City of New York. In Paris, France, one of his larger “oils” hangs in the War Ministry. The New York Public Library, Library of Congress, Division of Fine Arts, Rochester Athenaeum Gallery, Berkshire Museum, Pittsfield, Mass., Vander pole Gallery, Chicago and the Public Gallery of Newark, New Jersey.
This sounds most imposing-as it should. But those of the club who have listened to his dry humor, seen his kindly face and heard his vool rendition to the accompaniment of his own “uke” know that Victor Peraro is a male one loves and knows the full meaning of love applied to a grand male relationship.
As is too customary in this club, we miss the “secret sins” of our confreres. Victor’s secret sin is of his little known past. His is a clandestine love of twin snow capped peaks and the warm separating valleys. He loves to hug the smooth surfaces so stimulating to him and all his brother mountain climbers. Yes, Victor was a lover of that sublime and hazardous sport, mountain climbing.
The portrait of Victor Perard was painted by another greatly admired, and loved fellow member, Alpheous Cole. The picture has been on exhibition at the Grand Central Galleries (Vanderbilt Ave.)

Critics agree that the portrait 1s a credit to both the model and the artist.
While the main object of these biographettes is to familiarize
our members with their brothers, it is impossible to just say this is

Victor Perard without mentioning the gracious lady who makes the picture of Victor complete, Mrs. Ernestine Iczandie Perard.
Victor Pcrard is an individual of unusual character and of such units as this is made the grand overall pattern of Salmagundi.
Lo, the Poor Critic
A good method can be used to understand the other fellow. It is to place yourself in the other fellow’s position. This is not a particularly original observation but one that can be illuminating. In the role of a critic, your editor visited the Henry Gasser Show at the Macbeth Gallery, 11 East 57th Street, New York City. Your editor liked the show. In order to tell why he liked the show, it was necessary to put his thoughts into writing. For a long time your perspiring editor sat with raised pen poised over paper but no ink would now. There was keen pleasure and appreciation present in your editor’s mind but the usual worn words of criticism seemed inadequate to express a most pleasant sensation. How would a regular critic handle this assignment? The accepted words which could be used in such an article have been used and rearranged in every possible combination. Common words would have all the flavor of a motorman’s glove. Oh! But suppose some different painting methods had been used. Not the word “modern” but “Different” would be the proper designation. And these modern ( excuse us, different) methods offered an opportunity to use a modern (excuse us again, different) vocabulary. Suppose this different additional vocabulary was not only limited but ambiguous in its application. Then the poor critic is eventually stymied again. The different vocabulary also loses news value.
Did you ever go out on the first real spring day and smell the essence of Nature’s sublime perfume? Did you ever go fishing and get one whiff of the effluence coming from the over-ripe contents of a large bait box? Can you arrange words to describe your delighted olfactory sensation from one and the repellent “stink” of the other? Will your description convey your sensation to one who has never experienced such an olfactory impulse?
Were you ever present on a mountain top when the sound of a church bell came from the distance to summon a hamlet for Sunday morning worship? Have you ever heard the scream of a demented person in an acute episode?
13
—————————————————————————-
—————– Salmagundian ————————
Could you adequately express the sensation coming through your auditory sense so that a novice could experience your inner feelings?
Did you ever stand before an inspired painting, completely 1st in the visual pleasure which the inner artistic ability of a real artist
transmitted through that painting to you. Could you by any known words adequately express that emotion?
Likewise, perhaps, you have stood gazing at the product of some monkey painter whose aping of the great works miscarried because of a lazy ignorance. Could you express your disgust in words that would transmit your aversion to someone who h1d not experienced a similar nightmare?
Some great writers might approach the goal of adequately expressing such sensations in words. But mere words in the hands of less than the great would fail.
Technic, methods, materials and subject matter, etc, may be discussed in understandable and precise words but the inspiration in a painting is reserved for the sensitized mind and can only be transmitted through the visual sense.
See for yourself, feel for yourself and enjoy yourself. An inspired painting cannot be adequately described by words.
CARL RUNGIUS
Carl was born in Germany a few years ago. Chronologizing any dates in regard to his birth is a waste of effort. “Perpetual youth” in mind and body is his gift from the Creator. The smile in his eyes is a transformed force generated by seeing Nature and loving her. A training in fine art was started in Germany and a love of American Wild Life developed his talent to the nth degree. His ambition still is the painting of North American big game. We think of Audubon as the ultimate in the painting of birds. We think of Rungius as the ultimate in painting of big game. As is the case with all great men, Carl has a natural humility. His excellent works are shown to his friends with a gesture which borders on an apology. And the observer is speechless before the vastness, power, veracity, movement, draftsmanship and color values of his work. By any but a master these subjects would be trite. By Carl the subjects are inspirational.

[painting of Carl Rungius painted by Louis Betts]
Sketches which run into the thousands have been made by him under conditions which would discourage any but the most courageous. A period spent living with his models and observing with his brain has been followed by a period of painting accurately but at the same time portraying strong emotional values.
15
————————————————————————–
—————– Salmagundian ————————
When Carl finished reading the book, “Carl Rungius” by William Schaldach, he probably said to himself, “This can’t be me.” Most exceptionally talented men can hardly realize that they are great. The statements made in Schaldach’s work are both factual and beautifully presented. An attempt to include similar material for this article would surely fail in comparison. What we can do is acquaint our consciousness with the greatness in our midst. Our fellow member, Carl Rungius, has an outstanding personality and superb ability. Of such human colorful personages the unique mosaic pattern called Salmagundi has been formed.
It is indeed fortunate that the artist who painted the Portrait of Carl Rungius should be our own Louis Betts. It is a happy coincidence that we are able to publish the pictures of two of our most notable members painted by another pair of our most notable members.
A Letter to
BROTHER SALMAGUNDIANS
As your elected Corresponding Secretary, one of my duties is the editing of the Bulletin. The sole responsibility for all unsigned published articles is mine. Therefore I must accept both blame and praise. My policy has been that all matters concerning club members should be presented to each member in an understandable manner. This policy will be continued. I have faith in the ability of our membership to solve any and all problems when they know the facts. I shall continue this policy unless the membership wishes it otherwise.
This issue of the Salmagundian may be considered as a “pep” talk to the membership and an appeal for greater use of our exceptional club facilities. Many features which have been part of our Bulletin will be held over for January. This is because of limited space.
A decision must be made. Shall we keep this an intimate •’fireside” publication or enlarge our mailing list with an eye toward added appeal to our advertisers. My own wish is to retain its intimacy and limit our advertising space. This policy should ensure a small profit. If we do adhere to this policy, you must all seek advertisers. All ads in this issue have been voluntary and this saves the expense of solicitation.

This is our Christmas number. The New Year will have arrived before the January Edition is in your hands. Whether or not we all have a Merry Christmas and an enjoyable New Year one year from now depends entirely on each individual member and his willingness to work. There is no doubt in my mind about our successful future. Therefore, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, both for now and the many years to come.
Marvin F Jones, MD
Editor and Corresponding Secretary
Report of the Progress Committee
Edmond J. Fitzgerald has been appointed as chairman of a committee which he shall select to develop the project of Instruction in Art by Salmagundians. He will report to the Executive Committee and through the Executive Committee his ideas will be transmitted to the membership for approval. Jim is experienced as an organizer and teacher. His friendly good humor and tolerant attitude insures a modulated development which will probably be an enlargement of the sketch group idea.
Howard Maeder has been made chairman of a committee which shall consist of members appointed by him to explore the mysterious wishing wells of the ladies’ minds. That he will bring up the bucket filled with refreshing suggestions is assured.
Frank Gervasi and Edmond J. Fitzgerald are co-chairmen of a committee to be appointed by themselves to explore the possibilities of one man member’s shows for the lounge. Not that these two need any restrictions in what they will suggest, but simply as a custom to be followed, they will present their ideas to the Executive Committee and again as is usual, a report will be made to the club as a whole.
By a rare stroke of luck, Don Donaldson has been appointed Manager of the SALMAGUNDIAN. He will choose his own staff. We are fortunate to have among our membership so many experts in all fields. Don is a good example. Your Corresponding Secretary will continue to aid him in this project.
The subject of the Television Programs will be “Salmagundi Tales.” Ford Bond has been appointed Master of Ceremonies with the
17
————————————————————————
—————– Salmagundian ————————
privilege of choosing the aides he will need. This project is progressing very satisfactorily and the entire plan will be presented before stations and sponsors in the near future.
The Great Books Project has been placed under the chairmanship of Dr. Hannibal De Bellis, who will form his committee and report progress to the Club.
The Hobby Show has been placed under the very able leadership of Junius Allen who will also appoint his associates in developing this most interesting feature.
The news of progress in all these events will be published in your future issues of the SALMAGUNDIAN. Each member will have ample time to present constructive criticism to the men in charge of these projects.
Christmas Party
The Christmas Party will be held in the Club Grill Friday night, December 16. Some interesting and unique plans are now being completed by Chairman of Entertainment, Gil Williams. A sneak preview obtained from Gil insures an evening of interest which makes any other engagement of secondary importance. Our Christmas Parties have, without exception, proven one of the most successful entertainment features of the year. This party bids fair to exceed all others.
NEW YEARS
You will also need to keep your eyes open for announcements of the New Year’s Party. This feature of the club has produced the maximum in entertainment and enjoyment for the minimum expense.
NEWS NOTES
Tom Olenchak is art and production director of Kelly, Kramer, Inc., advertising in Public Relations Agency at 10 East 44th Street.
Mr. Scott Williams has returned to the club looking dapper, chipper and wearing his usual illuminating smile. Scotty was, as you know, the head of the Art Department at the University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming.
Hy Meyers was at the club Armistice night. It was good to see his many friends of long years standing go table-hopping to shake hands with Hy and meet his most gracious companion.
