New York Winter Garden, comes to this
city intact for an engagement Of six

| Edmund Goulding and including Clarence
I Harvey, Helen Eley, Ernest Hare, Miller
and Mack, Alexis Kosloff, Sam Hearn,
Flora Lea, Arthur Hill, Margaret Warde,
LYDIA Carlisle and Marie Flood.
The Passing Show Of 1885," following
| the example OF the other Winter Garden
| shows, obtains its scant plot from trav-
estes on the popular plays OF the day.
Primarily II deals with the adventures of
Lily Kardos in THE Songs of Songs"
George Monroe is the simple Lily who
in searching for a popular song encoun-
tiers Daniel Calkins, a Norman elder with
three wives. During the course OF her
search Experience" "Polygamy," Twin
Beds Under Cover" "Androcles and
the Lion" '"Trilby" and Daddy Long

morous exploitation.
AS the rather rotund Lily, George Mon
roe Is said to be at his best. Eugene
Howard as the mysterious ''R. j." and
| Willie, as Sammy, an errand boy, con-
! tribute their share of the fun and do a
number of clever bits OF burlesque. Mari

acts and twelve scenes. 1t opens in
the country home of youth and runs

Hills" will be the attraction at Polls
Theater this week.
There are declared to be few ex-
amples of fiction more widely read
than was Mr.. Wright's novel, and in
collaboration with Fishery w. Reynolds
the author has wrought a dramatic
composition that promises picturesque
and colorful stage material. The play
is of the mountains. To most readers
of fiction the story is familiar. The
beautiful mountain girl who ran away
with a man who deserted her, and
later the birth OF her baby. Pete, con-
sidered wftless but who has under
standing of the subconscious things of
life that often led the more intellectual
mountain folk to marvel, is well
known to the readers of Mr.. Wright's
novel.
There is just enough OF ghost
story introduced to add a touch of
mystery to the plot. The supposed
ghost creates complications in the love
affair of Grant Matthews, jr., which
Buren, and Miss Sammy Lane. a role
in which Florence Rittenhouse will be
seen.
The people who move in The Shep-
herd of the Hills" are declared to be
so human that the auditor will pick
them out for like and dislike as IL he
really knows them. There Is the
Shepherd, the man who came to the
hills to learn, and remained to teach:
Old Matt, who cherished the memory
of wrong that never could be righted;
Young Matt, a Hercules of the noun

PROMISED NEXT WEEK.
"Pollyanna."

''PollyGnns," with its original cast will
be brought to the New National next
week by KlaN & Granger and George
Tyler. When the young heroine OF
'Pollyanna" stretches out her hands and
asks everybody to play the glad game
her appeal reaches far beyond the con-
fines Of the theater. It goes throughout
a whole community, carried by willing
messengers, to spread an optimistic urg-
ing that finds eager response. Most
people are anxious to be glad. The
"Pollyanns' treatment for real and
fancied ills is extremely pleasant. II is
needed in schools and homes and in the
marts Of trade. All Romsnkind loves the
gladstone comedy for its romance and
comforting philosophy. There is some
thing about everything to be glad about
IL II Is looked for" This sums up the
spirit of "Pollyanna," one OF the most
genuine and welcome successes registered
In the modern theater.

Nationalist Russo,

1t is difficult for any one to Indicate or
describe wherein the Serge de Diaghileff
Ballet Russo, which is to be presented
by the Metropolitan Ballet Company of
New York at the National Theater for
an engagement of three nights, beginning
Thursday, March %, differs from the
first-class ballet of tradition, and this
although the difference is radical and
Immediately appreciated when perform
ance is witnessed.
The traditional ballet was made up
principally OF pirouettings and posings,
designed to initiate without interpreting.
Probably the imitation was intended to
interpret; but the fact remains that the
posture had semblance without character.
There was one pose meaning defiance;
another meaning admiration, and so on,
all handed down from father to son in
pantomiming families. The so-called
basic animations," some twelve or four
teen in number, may be found in the
simple Characterization of Harlequin in
the modern English pantomimes
In the Serge de Diaghileff Ballet Russo
there Is no imitation of real material
movements. If 1t is representation of the
butterfly that is in question. it Is inita-
ton, not SO much of the actual butter
fly' as 1t is of the emotional quality of
the butterhy's flight
Russo does not, generally speaking, rec
ognize any individual in its work, there
are certain renowned artists who nat
urally stand pre-eminent because of
their delineation of leading roles. Con-
spicuous in the roster, therefore, are
Xenia Maklezowa, Floro Ravelles, Lydia
Lopoukova, Lubov Tchernichowa, Leon
lde' Massin, Adolph Bolm, Enrico Geo
chetti. Nicholas Kromnen and many
others.
To mount the eighteen or twenty bal
lets in the repertory, a full stage STAFF
with M. Serge Griegorieff as general
regissieur and NJ. Tchaoussowsky as
chief machinist, is carried with the COM
pany; and these experts are the same
who mounted them in Paris and Lon
don. The ballots themselves generally
are new to the repertory, and have been
selected as most truly representative of
the movement symbolized by the en-
semble. There will be Carnival" PA
pillons," 'Narcisse." prince Igor,
''Scheherazade," La Prinsesse Enchan-
tee," ''SoleiI de Mutt" LES Sylphides, /"
lie Pavilion d'Armide," and Others, be-
ing variously on themes of all periods
and countries. There will be primitive
motifs; classic legends; eighteenth CEN
fury grace, elegance and fancy.
