MAX REINHARDT's
SPIRIT OF MODERNISM

Max RsinhArdt is, says the New York
World, recognized as the foremost the
atrical producer in Europe. While only
one OF his productions, "Sumurun,"
has been shown in America, his Shake
spearean companies have appeared in
nearly all the capitals of Europe. He
won his greatest success with a pro-
duction of "A Midsummer Nights s
Dream" which he has given more than
100 times at the DeUtsches Theater, in
Berlin. In two of his theaters, the
Deutsches Theater and the Volksbuhne
(the Peoples Theater), Shakespeare is
playing to crowded houses nightly. In
two other theaters the great English
dramas are frequently staged, and al
ways with equal success. The old
declamatory style of acting, the badly
executed scenery and the long pauses
between the acts robbed" said Mr..
Reinhardt, most productions of all
their joy. What have tried to do has
been to Undue Shakespeare's plays
with modern spirit 1 have tried to
have them acted as if they were mod
ern dramas instead of classics I have
tried to pictorialiZe them and to elimi-
nate the long waits between the acts.
Shakespeare's plays are just as modern
and up to date as If they had been
written yesterday; but for some unac-
countable reason they have always
been treated as historical relics OF
bygone epochs. There are no physical
obstacles to overcome, so far as the
actual production of any of Shake
speare's plays Is concerned. The mod
ern revolving stage solves all former
dificulties."

DIAGHILEFF BALLET TO
BE HERE MARCH 23, "a, 25

T. Arthur Smith has completed ar
rangements with the Metropolitan Opera
Company, of New York, whereby he will
bring to Washington for a series of per
formanCes Serge de Diaghileff's Ballet
Russo, the most remarkable organiza-
ton of it's kind in the world.
The performances will be given in the
National Theater beginning Thursday
evening, March q, and will run through
Saturday, March 2S.
1t is five years since the first efforts
were made to bring to America this Or
ganiZation of dancers and mines from
the Imperial Opera houses of Petrograd
and Moscow. Not only was the entire
time of the Ballet taken by its seasons
in Berlin, Paris, London, Vienna and
Russia, but the terms were absolutely
prohibitive. That 1t is coming this win
ter is due primarily to the war.
A full stage stan will accompany the
dancers, who will appear in two or three
numbers at each performance, one or
two longer mino-dramas and one or two
shorter ChOreOraphic episodes.
The music Is entirely from eminent
composers, classic, modern and contem-
porary; and the orchestra leader is Ernest
Ansermet, late municipal conductor of
Geneva in Switzerland, with full SYM
phony orchestra Of seventy members.

APOLLO -
MAUDE ADAMS TO
QUIT FROHMAN FORCES!

Rumors were plentiful last week that
Maude Adams, John Drew and Ethel
Barrymore will leave the Frohman man
agement at the end of this season, and
so persistent have the reports been they
are given credence in many quarters,
says the New York Review.
Most circumstantial of the rumors
concern Maude Adams, who, it is de-
clared by persons in a position to know,
will in all probability act next season
under direction of the recently created
finn of Corey, Ritter & Williams, whose
initial venture is the production at the
Gaiety Theater of 'Erstwhile Susan
with Mrs. Fiske.
John D. Williams, of this firm, for
several years was general press agent
for the late Charles Frohman and later
business executive on the Frohman
staff
Miss Adams is known to have the high
est regard for Mr.. Williams artistic and
business attainments.
With the passing of Mr.. Frohman,
under whom her entire professional ca
reer was spent, it would not be at all
astonishing If Miss Adams should en-
trust her theatrical future to the firm
of which Mr.. Williams is a member
Rumor is not so definite in fixing
upon future managers for Mr.. Drew and
Miss Barrymore.
Maude Adams was the keystone of the
Frohman fortunes for nearly twenty
years. During a large portion of that
time she was the biggest feminine draw
Ing card in theatrical America, and pro-
auctions in which she was engaged netted
MIR. Frohman much more than a mil
lion dollars profits.
