utter abandonment to the call of terp- sichore, combine to make the dances of the South seas among the most poetic, the most compelling of all dances, many critics declare. What are said to be two of the most striking of these are fea- tured in Doraldinas repertoire They are the La Rumba shiver and the Dance of the White God. Those who have seen these dances declare that they leave lit- tie to be asked in the way of poetry of motion and that both interpretations are radical departures from the average IIa- Waiian dance.
 The ability of Doraldina to interpret the rhythm of the South sea dances, critics aver, is partially due to her in herent grace and natural ability as dancer but largely because of, her per sonal observation and study of these dances as practiced by the natives them selves. Doraldina spent a considerable period travelling among the South sea islands and it was while on this journey that she first discovered her ability to interpret the dances of the islanders.
 In addition 10 Doraldina's appearance at the Loew playhouse, programme of vaudeville embracing five standard acts Of T4oew offerings will make up the weeks opening bill.

Here are the couplets that show some thing of Michael Strange's style These from her poem, "Thoughts";

 Walter Hampden, who is regarded as one of our foremost Shakesp6arean ac- tors, and whose return to Broadway for brief period is considered an event of importance, includes this sea son Macbeth" The Tanning of the Shrew," Romeo and Juliet" "The Merchant of Venice" and, of course, Hamlet" in which he is called a second Edwin Booth.

First and foremost in interest this week was the joint appearance of tho two Barrymores-John and Ethel---in Strange In New York alone, and for eight weeks only, this famous brother and sister are appearing together in' "Clair de Lune."
 But, alas Those who are so for tunate as to be on the scene of action and who have the coveted opportunity of witnessing the play have the hard ship of paying s5 for the privilege! Perhaps it is worth the price. l am inclined to think so. Two of those Barrymore artists, remember!
 As to the story of the play-Miclhael Strange has taken the well known 'LHomme Qui Ritz of Victor Hugo and used the romance therefrom and oer- tain suggestions only. The tale runs something like this. according to George F. Kaufman. first nighter and dramatic editor of the New York Times: "A shipwreck leaves a young ster, cold and hungry and abandoned on the English coast. In the falling snow he stumbles over something. It is a dead woman with a living child
 at her breast The boy picks th baby up in his arms and trudges on It is to this strange pair that Ursus, the wandering philosopher, extends the welcome of his gypsy shack. By the light within he finds, that the storm has driven into his protection littla girl who is blind and a boy whose face has been cut and frozen into an unfading ana terrible smile. The tale which then unfolds is the romance of these two-of the fellow who was a comic monster in the eyes of all the world save the signtless eyes of the girl who owed her life to him, who knew he was dear and who believed that he was beautiful. romance like that, but not much else of IiHomme Qui Rit,' comes to life again in Clair de Lune.'"
 Of course one is compelled to feel pretty well "gloomed up" after this play, although it is distinguished by the artistry of John and Ethel Barry more.
 Michael Strange is a new dramatic author, It is not generally known that this is only a pen name of the talented wife of John Barrymore, The author of Clair de Lune," also writes poetry. A new volume of her poems called "Resurrecting Life'' has Just left the publishers hands. There Is a decoration for these poems of Mich ael Strange by John Barrymore. who is, by the way an excellent artist.

It was the excessive number of bases on balls and the err TOTS that helped the Little Rockers on to such a large score.

Moley used 8 quartet of pitchers and a column full of cuss words during the slaughter, but neither the pitchers for the profanity helped matters. Tommy Gallagher was the first lamb led to the slaughter, Tommy was about as effec- tive as a pair of rubbers in Venice. After Tommy had been mauled viciously and had walked sundry hitters. Moley jerlled him from the conflict and sent young MT. Drake to the rescue. If what Drake did Wednesday is any criterion for his skill as rescue-worker, the whole world will go to Hades within the next twelve hours. He lasted but a third of an inning, and for the third time within the same frame-the third-local fandom saw another face in the box.
 RED BATES IS NEXT
 The third man to attempt hurlng du- ties was the cerise-complexioned MT. Bates of Cliff, Ala Red was as wild as stray note on a ukulele, and after the sixth Moley deserted his split-bot- toned chair and told Phil Morrison to finish it. Phil got by without a run un- til the ninth, when young MT. Boil top ped off his afternoons work with home-rlin drive to left center.
 0unlf1llS ule lHluS up DFl6Lly, lout Baron pitchers allowed a dozen bases on balls, a dozen hits, bakers dozen of tallies and made several dozen mental mistakes. Gallagher gave up four of these free passes to first, allowed four bingles and yielded five scores in the two innings he is credited with being on the mound. Drake was hammered for two safe swats, hit one batter and gave up one base on balls for the one-third of an inning that he tried to pitch. The Bidders found Bates for five bases on balls, two safe swats and wild pitch for the 2-3 frames that he flung 'em. Morrison probably quit the day with the best box-work of any local hurler, al lowing four hits and a run for the three cantos that he occupied the slab. on top of all these miscues and mistakes, the Barons committed four errors to add to the wreckage, debris and carnage of the awful massacre.
