The spirit of the Italian theatre is
thing created as spontaneously to-day as it
was in 1900 or in 1900.
Every night in every Italian theatre this
spirit is evoked it fills the place
for while, battling description. 1t is an
event of the first magnitude.
Only for a couple of hours, and then in
three minutes it dissolves scatters

arrives at the theatre in the right mood

the theatre to act, but to see acting No
one has to switch off his reality and put
on mask except the actors.

The Italian theatre is unique Unlike
the German theatre and the Russian thea
tire, II you transplant it it cannot thrive
nowadays. The eager enthusiasm shown by
US but lately toward the German companies
previous to the war the hectic de-
lirium expressed by a certain portion of
London society for Russian ballet dancers
was not much an expression of
fondness for Russian or German work as
ignorance, detestaton of, or snobbish in
difference to, English endeavor. For doubt
less there existed at that time the makings
of English ballet, not merely as good
as that which was shipped over from Pet
rograd, but better. Surely there was some
artist able to have created something as
good as "The Miracle" among us in 19l1-'12
But the law of the ciques and parties
was considered final in those days. What
exactly was as good or better than these
we shall never know cxcept for
the critics, few of us stopped to find out
Lest might avail ourselves of an Eng
fish work of art, the foreign goods were
shipped into London in all haste and we,
the public, made to pay through the nose
for them in the market . . Covent
Garden Market.
The exact cost of "Thc Miracle"
theatrical show given at Olympia lasting
eight weeks amounted, l under
stand, to about 100000. What the Russian
ballet cost you will no doubt admit is
incalculable. 1t should therefore be good
news to the real Englishman to hear that
the Italian theatre is not importable. This
fact, let US hope, will assist in allowing
our own artists to show England exactly
what they can do when given as
much support as was rendered to Germans
and Russians.

Don't make any plans for Monday

Pana of the Royal theatre, and go to
see Priscilla Dean in ''The Wicked
Darling" It's black-ice, bitter
sweet, sugar-vinegar, white-blackbird
kind of title, and Priscilla is just that
kind of star. She is as full of con-
tradictions as the title. The ever-new
problem Of understanding woman is
present in this feature with both feet,

befuddled man in the world when he
found that he was in love with a hash
house waitress and a thief at the

And, mind you, this young man had
been brought up in the lap of luxury
,and had asked one of those swell
damsels to marry him.
But what he thought of Mary
Stevens was no more strange and in
comprehensive than what she thought
of herself, when, with one look, she,
who had scorned all of the men of her
world, fell head-over-heels in love
with the mountain of social promi-
