IN THE REALM OF MUSIC

|ers, but courageous enough to act the
part in his own way and with no
effort at imitation. Two comedy bits
that stood out were the Varlaam and
mical Of Messrs. Tulchinoff and
Kosloff. The famed Varlaam drink
ing song In the inn scene has never
before been so we'll done here. It Is
one Of Chaliapin's favorite minor
parts. The two tramp monks had
wondrous make cups" and, with VAL
entina Valentinova "a name to con-
jure by) as the innkeeper. made a
realistic and natural thing of the tav-
ern act. Vladimir Dapiloff was an
impetuous Gregory, but rarely famil-
lar with the pitch. Marina's lovely
music fell to Zenia Ershova, who did
so well In THE Tsar's Bride" Nine.
Ershova, 1t Is said, belongs to the
"Chauve Souris" performers. She was
easy to look at and sang acceptably II
with no great distinction. Ina Bour-
skaya, whose portrayal OF this part
has been highly commended. has been
captured from the Russian organiza-
tion by the Metropolitan Opera folks.
1t Is possible she will sing 1t next
year with NJ. Chaliapin.
Naturally, lovers OF the opera would
object to the excision of the wonder
full choruses, but the Russians, with
their small forces, were wise not to
attempt them. A good word should
go<to the orchestra for its improved
playing.
