Show Royal Compliment. Solomon J. Solomon, the London artist, has announced his intention of living In Palestine, now that England Eng-land has won the country from the Turks. Mr. Solomon is rich and famous now, but he was poor a few years ago, and admission to the Royal academy had not yet given him the right to add the coveted "R. A." to his name. At an academy exhibition in those days Mr. Solomon's picture was so excellent ex-cellent that it cast all those about it in the shade. It is said that the king, pausing before be-fore the masterpiece, declared: "Exquisite! And yet Solomon, in all his glory, is not R. A.'d like one of these." |
