AMERICAS SYMBOLIC GIFT TO FRANCE - MANE MONUMENT
As Juy 4th approaches, much is being said and wrtten about the restoration of Americas magnificent Statue of Liberty and of Franchs generosity in presenting it to the American people as gift.
On this July 4th, all of America will be reminded of the statues meaning and of the century of friendship between this country and the donor nation.
It is odd, however, tht so little has been said during the Statue of liberty centennial celebration about the similar gift Americans presented to France in 1932.
Towards the end of World War I a movement grew in the United States to provide France with a monument commemorating the crucial Battle of the Marne tha saved Paris and manifesting U. S. Admiration for the bravery of the French military.
The movement was also inspired by a desire to do something for the French peple in return for their generosity in subscribing funds for the Statue of Liberty.
A committee was formed with Thomas W. Lamont as chairman. The group made a national appeal for funds to cover the heavy cost of construction of a monument to be erected at the summit of a hill in Meaux in the region where the German army was stopped.
The appeal met with immense enthusiasm and spectucular results. The required fnancing came from about four million subscribers, many of whom were school children.
There was no difficulty about deciding who should design the Battle of Marne Memorial, as it was to be called. The job went without argument to Americas most outstanding scuptor, Frederick W. MacMonnies.
MacMonnies, by the way, was a close friend and associate of William de Leftwich Dodge, famed painter and muralist and father of Mrs. Hunter Kimbrough of Bay St. Louis.
Mrs. Kimbrough is presently at work on a biography of MacMonnies. She is the author of Drawn From Life, a story of her father and three other artist, incuding MacMonnies, whose friendship and work began in Paris in the 1880s.
The monument about 70 feet in height, was built from the MacMonnies design by sculptor Edmondo Quattrocchi, who had at that time a sizable studio in Paris.
Quattrocchi got his first look at the design figure in 1926. The difficult task was not completed and the monument dedicated until 1932 on the llth of September on the 18th anniversary of the Battle of the Marne.
On the day that the statue was dedicated, observances in France were almost as enthusiastic as those that will be held in this country on July 4th.
Religious services were held all over the country. There was a state dinner and a ceremony in which General Pershing and Marshall Petain were reunited.
The general contour of the statue is that of a narrow pyramid with Victory, the central figure, represented by a nude female figure brooding over fallen soldiers.
MacMonnies saw the monument, not as a glorification of war, but as a representation of the horrors and tragedy of war. In his time this was not the common approach to battefield monuments.
