OF the effects she hopes to achieve was
seen in the recent production Of "The

In this she played the role of the
dumb girl: characterization depending
for its effect almost wholly upon pam
tOminle, though the remainder OF the
cast, sang as In any opera. Plays of
this sort have been dubbed "mimo-
choreographic," since the emphasis Is rs
much upon the pAntomimic features as
upon the singing or dancing. Pavlowa
herself describes them as "a fusion of
instrumental and vocal music, dancing,
drama, and painting"

M primM donna, a Spanish basso,

Of music and ballet IN Washington this
week. The PavlowaI Ballet Russo ana
the Boston Opera Company will be seen
and heard in four performances from
December 16 to IS.
IN former Years fairly good hearing
vas all that was needed to enjoy an
opera. Nowadays the scenic inyestiture,
the ballet. and other features distinctly
visual have been emphaslzed as much
as the singing and the orchestration.
And the one who originated the Idea Is
Anna Pavlowa, with the assistance or
Max 'Rabinoff. impresario.
Since PaVlowa first came to the Uni
ted states she has been eager To In
trOduce opera as she knew II IN Russia
where music is not only sung and play
ed. but interpreted by pantomime and
the dance. She found that such operas
as offered opportunities OF this kind
had either been slowed far back on the
shelves Of music libraries or adapted
for presentation by singers only. New
ertheless. she knew that they existed
and the chief difficulty lay in assem-
bling a company of artists capable OF
presenting them.
Ideals of Russian School.
Pavlowa's own Ballet Russo was
ready 20 draw from, an organiza tion
trained In the ideals of the Russian
school. which includes not only the bal
let, but also interpretive and chara cter
dancing The failure of the Boston
Opera gave an unusual opportunity TO
secure another group OF artists, already
accustomed 70 working together.
Yet q third element was to enter into
the composition to make the finished
production an artistic success. The
dancers and the singers would find their
art unappTeciated unless a background
consistent with the spirit of what they
were to interpret by voice and body We're
provided. Accordingly, the men who
have stood for the highest in the art Of
stage design were reduisltioned-Bakst
and Urban. The former has been par
ucularly successful In realiZing the dis
tincuye characteristics of the Russian
temperament and expressing II in canvas
