NEW YORK, June 24.-The most
unusual week in the theatrical season
was that which passed over Satur-
day. With but one play added to
the list. at least a dozen removed
by termination of engagements. the
high light was not this SO much as
it was the quality of the lone pro-
duction. Raymond Hitchcock pre-
sented this under the embracive title
OF THE Pin Wheel" which had been
"whirled round by Michio ltow. to
give credit to the program. A COM
bination OF this popular light
comedian ard the noted Nippon
dancer was in itself somewhat mysti-
flying, but not more 50 than the clever
blending of the ultra-artistic and the
super popular.
The program was marked chiefly by the
dancing, dancing Of a high and appeal
ing order, contributed - soloists, en-
SeulDAGh anu SpcNAdhNtSs N~AaS9ASoAF $780,
ard and character dances were given, in
Guiding a Spanish group by remarkable
new Spanish premiere, Maria Montero.
Mr.. Itow himself danced his original and
fascinating If we'll known PizEacato to
DelcbeS' music, while dainty Margaret

Elda Lasker sang Yiddish folk songs,
Anita Enters did several attractive inter-
pretative dances, Zoltan Hecht created a
new art IN his Rhythmic setting, while
Felicia Sor-r and Sonia GIuck compelled
the highest lmiration for their grace as
dancers, and sixth as pantomimtsts. Rosa
lind Fuller sang charmlngiy, Regina
Devi gave her noted Hindu songs and
Louise Riley entranced a dancer.
Yuu Itow and Yashushl Wuiri, two
japanese. making their first appearance
here, added to the cosmopolitan charm Of
the evening, and when this was all done,
there was Raymond Hitchco, IN his IN
Productions Of the numbers, his frequent
trsvesties with the aid Of Frank Fay
and a bevy Of girls, and his general good
humor which lightened up the entire pro-
gram and brought together the East and
the West in the most perfect blending
Of their conflicting traits that has been
seen IN New York. If this is the new
sign Of the times, summer will lose
much of its terror to those who find
themselves patrons OF the play houses
during the dog days.

In addition to the Hitchcock revel, the
season was further enhanced by the com
