1917 idea of gorgeousness as supplied by
those masters, Gest, Comstock and Elliott.
Then, by stretching the imagination, you may
get scarcely adequate idea of the effect of
'Chu Chin Chow"
Louis De Foe, in "The World" frankly
admitted that he just couldn't find any
adequate comparisons to help convey the
pictorial loneliness" the marvellous eff
fects of color and light" the exotic beauty
and the continuous assaults upon the
Senses"
To John Corbin, Of "The Times" it
seemed that
Perhaps the finest feature in so much gor.
geous brilliance is in the costumes designed
by Percy Anderson. None Of the men Of his
craft has finer or richer sense of color,
or greater grace and suayity in line. And
now he has undergone the inevitable influence
OF Leon Bskst and blossoms out in effects
that are as bizarre as you will"
And Lawrence Reamer in "The Sum-"
suggested that, in connection with the sue
cession of beautiful scenes
perhaps in the manner Of their divulgence
was the novelty most striking. Only the
slave market, which basked under the midday
sun and the steel blue sky, was difused with

"Chu Chin Chow" Dazzles and Delights

| light In the other acts the concentrated IL
Elimination fell directly on the moving char
acter in the picture. II the backgrounds were
lit UP, whether it be in the cactus grove or
the cave of the robbers, the illumination
never penetrated further than the character
il was supposed to follow and bring out into
the view Of the audience. 1t was a novel
and artistic detail"
One fact, in particular, did not escape
the notice of Charles Darnton, who sal !
/ in 1.-THE Evening World":
Incidentally there was a fashion show in
little old Bagdad that will make big New
York open its eyes"
] Alan Dale, in "The American" said
"You feel tremendously pleased with your
self as you realize the facility with which
you are able to get into this atmosphere,
right from the odous drabness of the out
side. From the abyss Of the everyday to the
summit of romance! This is the climb you
make, and-really, you are charmed with your
own lissome ability to scale the heights
Some climber, you say! But isn't it nice to
get q thousand years away from to-day and
to escape from the Forty Thousand Thieves
of New York to the Forty Thieves of the Ara
bian Nights"
; STORY, God bless you, there is none to
tell, sirs!" This fact troubled j. Ranken
Towse of "The Evening Post" a little.
But one found the same Mr. Towse, fur
Their down in the column, admitting that
nothing mattered much, except the seem
cry, the costumes and the dancing" And
one was told at the very end Of this
review that "a better show no one could
wish to see," even though there be "pre-
cious little of the drama in it,"
Must praise went to the large cast.
Mr.. Corbin, in "The Times" said:
Tyrone Power plays the title role, chief
Of the forty thieves; and, when opportunity
affords in the simply told and briskly NOV
ing story, he endows it with no small ter
ror, not only from his commanding physique
and voice, but from a really vigorous imagi-
nation. Henry Dixey is Ali Baba, skipping
about the stage in his familiar grace and

of a management that was as intelligent and
tasteful as 1t was competent"

COdOWSkV
T EOPOLD GODOWSKY, the first Of
the seasons important instrument

the seasons important instrument
alists to be heard, gave a concert
at Carnegie Hall, October 20, which at
tracted an audience that overhowed upon
the stage-an audience that followed the
long and varied programme intently, and
whose applause insisted upon frequent
encores.
The programme, pronounced by The
Sun" generous and we'll planned" began
with Beethoven's A fiat sonata, opus ITO,
and leaped thence to the Brahms A fiat
intermezzo and rhapsody in Z fiat. Then
followed a miscellaneous group in which
Godowsky, Lully, Rameau and Scarlatti
were the composers. Chopin contributed
the next section and miscellany made
the conclusion"
To "The Sun" Mr.. Godowsky appears as
"'the Won Bulow [pianiSt, not Princel of
his time.
His recitals are educational They are
the summit of all achievement in the domain
of the lecture recital, for the recital is in this
case the lecture. It is pianist's commentary
on the way things should be done. The artist
played the Beethoven sonata in manner
that proclaimed its own academic correctness
In incontrovertible manner. As an analysis
of the composition it was faultless. But ex-
cept in the slow movement, which was ad-
mirably played, there was little TO warm the
imagination OF the hearer.
MIR. Godowsky has a remarkably fine tech
nique and beautiful command of touch, but
his moods are essentially reflective and pene-
trating rather than impressive. He is mas
ter pianist, viewed as q pianist exclusively.
AS an Interpreter he is intellectual and in
structive, but not touching. Much profit can
be obtained by studying his readings"
Most of the critics commented upon the
Godowsky intellect as conspicuous in
setting of temperamental GOODNESS. "The
pianist for pianists" he is termed. How
ever, it remains to reckon with the big
audience, which, on this occasion, was un-
deniably stirred. And this fact moved
Sigmund Spaeth, in THE Evening Mail"
to observe:
Leopold Godowsky has always been re-
garded as essentially a pianst's pianist, one
whom the greatest would gladly call master.
but who somehow failed to touch the heart Of
the public intimately. His recital of Saturday
afternoon indicated that a revision Of this
stock judgment might soon be necessary, for
both in numbers and IN enthusiasm the audi
ence was overwhelming

The EUening Papers

"ROM the above phrases It becomes
cutie evident that "Chu Chin Chow"
- is no ordinary piece of stage clap
trap. but something of unusual interest.
The New York critics nearly met their
Waterloo this time. There must have been
rather a good deal of feather buster work
on that seldom-disturbed dictionary of
sheer out-and-out superlatives. One thing,
though, is particularly noticeable in the
reviews of this new spectacle: they are all
written with conspicuous enthusiasm; the
critics behaving much in the manner of
children who have seen something breath
less and extraordinary and can scarcely
wait to communicate the new wonder.
Louis Sherwin, in "The Globe pointed
out that "Chu Chin Chow" belongs to no
known genus, type, form or style of
drama" and he adds
"Polonius, that most tedious Of dramatic
critics, would have had deuce Of time
classifying it. 1t is partly Arabian fairy
tale, partly comic opera, partly straight melo-
drama and partly Hippodrome ballet and riot
GUS pageantry. IL is altogether one Of the
most beautiful shows have seen on the New
York stage
Ralph Block, in The Tribune, describes
the magic ingredients thus:
at is the perfumed Orient Of romance you
will find in 'Chu Chin Chow the East OF
echoing silver bells, of mosques and the muez-
zin's call to prayer; the Orient that Marco
Polo discoveries; a land OF spices and Grecian
wine. of bazaars laden with rare silks and
cloth of gold, of beautiful women with hidden
faces. of riches undreamed by any vision of
avarice and Of daring schemes Of men TO win
them. Ii is an Arabian nights entertainment
without the dissonances Of color and sound
Of 'Scheherazade,' untouched by the some
times acrid Russian mood OF tragedy, and
withal a show Of magnifcence wisely attuned
TO such a time as this, when the theatre be-
comes a refuge from the pressure Of reality
without"
In THE Journal" one finds this express
sion of delight:
think. if you will, of glorified Ali Baba-
OF the famous Aladdin and his wonderful
lamp-of Haroun AL Raschid-or Thais-of
the great carnivals OF Babylon. Byzantium
and Bagdad-of the fetes Of Cairo and Con-
stantinople-of the bacchanals OF Rome, Ra-
MADAM and Ruritania. Roll them ell into
