PapLOwa Dances
With Exquisite
Grace in BalletS
Returns to the Manhattan
Opera House With Company
From England and France.

Anna Pavlowa returned to New York
last night again to prove her preemi-
nenee as the exponent of graceful motion,
and appeared at the Manhattan Opera
Hous- at the head of her own company
OF eighty dancers and pantomirnists,
most OF whom she brought from Eng
land and France She was greeted by
an audience that filed the theatre and at
the end of the second part OF the pro-
eramme turned the stage into veritabie
exhibition of chrysanthemums and other
autumn flowers.
The programme was in three parts,
the first being devoted TO n set of
dances set to the music of Chopin, or
chestrated by Glazounof and arranged
by Ivan Cuisine. balletmaster of the
company. The second part was given
up to one of the numerous ballets
ruled in Russia and Petrograd was st.
Petersburg. The ballet was called 1.-THE
Fairy Tales" and had its first showing
in this city. The final part of the eve
nings entertainment was devoted to the
usual number of advertisements.

| Opera of st. Petersburg of the old
regime. walked upon the stage and
presented Miss Pavlowa with a testi-
! nonial of their esteem. and one of the
tots lisped: Sometime hope to be Just
like YOU"
Tho Introductory dances appropri-
ately called "Chopiriiana," brought into
| graceful action the familiar, elusive
melodies of the Polish composer, with
Pavlowa, aided by Laurent Novikoff and
Ivan Clustine. accentuating the more
| important episodes, particularly the
Waltz in A fiat and two Of the COM
poser's preludes.
There were nine OF Chopin's motifs
which paved the way to the more ami
mated and colorful Tschaikowsky ballet
in which Pavlowa disclosed her real art.
| As in the past she revealed that her
movements are rich in dramatic eloquence
and that she dances with her brains as
well as with her beautiful plant body.
The ballet brought into concentrated
action the entire company, which is
more efficient even than the one the
dancer gathered about her last year.
All the familiar characters OF fairy lore
were introduced.
The Tschaikowsky ballet should fill
the theatre with children at the matt
nees Running through it are melodies
of household familiarity. Interest in
the advertisements centred in "The
| Swan" in which Pavlowa once more
showed the perfection OF her art.

The playing of pianos was continued
yesterday afternoon with all the indus
try which marked Ctys earlier in the
week. Miss Dai Buell.. who has distin-
gL.shed this public by her favors quite
frequently. performed in Town Hall.
where she was respectfully heard by a
rainy day audience. Her most ambitious
undertaking was an Interpretation OF
Schumann's c major fantasia. which
had been played two days earlier by
Juan Reyes. Chilean artist. The
great composition, one of the greatest
in the repertory OF the piano. stands re-
peated experiments hardly. and VIII
probably survive many year.
Miss Katherine Bacon. from Boston.
gave her second recital in Aeolian Hall.
She treated her hearers to the well
known and filamentous sonatina OF
Ravel. which she prcfaced with music
of Schumann. She did not plunge into
the lustrous depths of the fantasia or
the Carnival (Which has already been
lamentably exposed this season., but
contented- herself with the less subtle
utterances of the eight pieces called
'Kreisleriana."
Miss Bacon has agile and strong I'm
gers. She has musical intelligence and
a considerable measure Of musical senti-
ment. But except in some occasional
lrpses into poetry her Interpretation of
the Schumann music had good intention
rather than authoritative exposition to
commend it, Neither Miss Buell. nor

When David Belasco lifted the Hat
tons over the dramatic horizon first 1t
was in a play called Years of Discre-
tion," in which a number of what the
immortal Mr.. Venus catalogued as "hu-
man various" were suddenly rejuve-
mated and then decided that it was at
least more comfortable to be Of their
real ages. The dramatic fortunes of the
Hattons have varied since that time.
Last night, however, they came back to
the question of age in 1--WE Girls" which
Marc Klaw, Inc. produced at the Forty

There was heroine who had a grown
daughter and knew in her own heart

the outward and visible signs were con-
cerned. She kept her daughter in a con-
vent until the girl was expelled had q

TWO PARAMOUNT PRODUCTIONS

three-star laugh triumph, "Don't Tell

In speaking of this Paramount pic

said: "If we told our patrons every
thing about this picture we'd never
finish talking. But we will tell them
this much: Three of the screens most
popular stars are in it, and the story
was written especially for these stars.

man who made "The Great Moment. !"

BOXING BOUTS
At Jefferson, Monday, To
Be the Liveliest Kind

All is practically arranged for the
big boxing show to be staged on Mon
day afternoon, January End, by the
Independent Athletic Club. The card
is dandy and is one that ought to
draw a packed house, which it will
no doubt do judging from the interest
being displayed by the fight fans, and
the great demand for tickets which
are now on sale at the Jefferson
theatre, where the show takes place.
There will be four bouts as follows
Oscar Koff VS. Babe Bream, 10
rounds.
Jack Darcy VS.. Kid Howard, 10
rounds.
Carl Meder VS.. Cupid Demmitt, 6
rounds.
Conrad VS.. Riley, a rounds.
In the main bout Babe Bream,
Lima boy, meets Oscar Koff, recog-
nized as one of Cincinnati's real com
ers in the fight game. This bout
should prove peach Both boys are
in the pink of condition, and the win
ner will sure have to stretch himself
some. 1t is said the spectators are
going to get more than their moneys
worth in this bout alone. But in ad-
dition to the main bout there is to be
three other contests of 10, and
rounds respectively, in which. every
one of the contestants is out for blood
and to win.
1t is said the Independent Athletic
Club is hanging up larger purses for
the winners than has been offered in
this neck of the woods in long time,
and will be bitterly fought for.
The show starts promptly at $50
Monday afternoon with Conrad and
Riley staging the preliminary event,
and from that time on there will be
action enough to satisfy everyone
present.
