Audience at Comedy The
atre Pleased by New
Phase of Song
ROSHANARA AND
MEN ARTISTS AID
Melodies and Dances of
Java and Burmah Are
Introduced
BY II. +. KREHBIEL

Miss Eva Gauthier presented a new
and interesting phase of folk music to
delighted audience that filled the
Comedy Theatre yesterday afternoon.
What with the folksongs of European
Peoples, which Nine. Sembrich has so
successfully exploited; the music OF
India, which Ratan-Devi has presented
in so fascinating a manner in us
classic as we'll as popular phases; the
English ballads, which Miss Lorraine
Wyman is presenting in the shape OF
relics preserved in the Appalachian re-
gion of the United States; the songs
of the black slaves Of our Southland
and of the ritual and other songs OF the
American aborigines, which arc ilndlns
their way into the programmes OF song
recitals, there will soon be little lett
of the worlds characteristic racial
music which will be unknown to seri-
ous-minded concertgoers. The develop
ment of popular interest in these ex-
otto phases of song took a long time,
but there has been great awakening
to the significance and beauty of racial
utterance in music of late, as there
has been to the need of racial express
sion in literature and politics, and II
one chooses to associate the phenom-
enon with the bloody struggle going
on in the Old World, he would seem
TO be amply justified in doing so.
Sealed Book Is Opened
Aside from the charm which yester-
DAYS entertainment provided, especial
ly by its juxtaposition of exotic song
and dance in which Miss Gauthier had
the cooperation of R)shanara, an East
Indian dancer, there was special
value in it in that it carried popular
experience into a musical region which
has hitherto been sealed book-into
Java and Burmah. Miss Gauthier and
her companion, by the aid of wonder
full costumes, song, instrumental mel
ody and dance, brought 10 our eyes and
ears knowledge of the arts in Burman
and the Malsysian archipelago, and
compelled a recognition Of the fact
that they are closely related.
Miss Gautnier sang Javanese songs
in which there we're evidences of a
blending of influences partly Indian,
partly Chinese. More of the former
than the latter. indeed, for some OF
the songs sounded as If they had been
carried over TO Java bodily from East
India--as probably was the case. And
in the dancing of Roshanara, especial
~ in the movements of her supple arms
and marvellously eloquent hands, there
were reminders of the pantomimic
posturings which make up nine-tenths
of dramatic action in the Javsnese
theatre.
When We shall have had an equally
admirable exposition of the dramatic
music Of the Chinese and japanese
theatres and learned to distinguish
between what is spurious and what
genuine IN the alleged music of the
mid-Pacifc islands which we hear, it
will be possible to say that our eX-
perience has cncircled Che globe.

sang with the cooperation Of a quartet
OF mems voices. They formed pleas
ing feature OF the afternoon. though ii
might have been wished that the male
singers had been employed only in the
refrains and not to sing fel-la and
humming accomplishments. None Of the
songs sung Is indigenous in Canada,
though "Vive Ia Csnadienne" is be-
come sort of national song among
the French Canadians. Its text Is COM
paratively new; its melody belongs to
an old French song, "Par doner' chez
mon pere.' "D'ou vient-tu Bergere"
is an old French Christmas carol, and
I'm roulant ma boule" and "A la claire
fontaine" were carried by the French
settlers Of Canada across the Atlantic.
But they are all capital songs. and
barring the criticism limited at, which
applied only in part 10 give la Cana
dienne." they were capitally sung by
Miss Cauthier and the quartet, COM
posed of Paul c. Haskell, Justine d.
Lavory, William d. Tucker and J. d.
Thomas.
Roshanars's dances, which were
greatly helped in their effectiveness by
ingenious light effects, stage draperies
and gorgeous costumes, were two de-
scribed as Burmese. four as East Indian,
one Nautch girl dance, another a
snake dance, in the last of which the
sinuous movements OF the dancers
arms and body and her stimulation of
exhaustion were almost too uncannily
weird TO be wholly pleasurable. A high
type of loneliness and grace, combined
with expressive pantomime, was exhib-
tied in the incense and harvest dances,
though in these she departed from
Oriental tradition by displaying too
much facial expression, though such
criticism runs directly counter to 0cci-
dental feeling.
Singing Delightful
Miss Gauthiers singing of Java
nese, Malay and Hindu songs (the lat
ter to accompany two of the dances)
was thoroughly delightful, and it
would have been better for the sue
cess of her unique entertainment if
she had stopped there. and not at
tempted the experiment of combining
song with what is called the "classi-
cal ballet" in which she had the help
of two dilettante dancers and Doris
Booth, a 'prodigious" child lent by
Daniel Frohman.
We might also have wished that an
effort had been made to give us ORR
entail music in the accompaniment, al
though the arrangements played by Mr..
A. Bimboni on a pianoforte supported
by a string quartet were as tasteful
and tactful as they were ingenious.
Still. we longed for the Javanese
band, with its wonderful gongs, bells
and xylophone.
