DELIGHT IN FINE
DANCE-DRANA
Russian Artists Shower Big
Attendance With Joyous
Interpretation.

The Fokines, Michel Fokine and
his beautiful wife, Vera Fokina
with eight assisting artists, gave a
very delightful afternoon Of the
spectacular Russian ballet at the
Shubert -Belasco Theater yesterday
in a series OF dance-dramas designed
by the famous Fokine. who is the
foremost exponent Of and director OF
this new art Of the theater.
Washington has been reading OF
"Petrouschka." while listening 10
the strange iconoclastic dissonances
of the music of Stravinsky. They are
not so strange when accompanied by
the delightfully."- humorous dance.
drama for which they were created.
It's sheer extravaganza in comedy,
needing clown.like touches in the
music. The two scenes by 1vanova,
Waite and Antonoff made one realize
that motion and pantomime may
give character sketches that tran
scend the spoken word. The audience
fairly dubbed with the fun of 1t.
But the Fokines! In alive virility.
in freedom and grace Of body, Michel
Fokine is the expression Of an ami.
mated Greek frieze, with classic
features and the perfect masculine
form that the ancients made their
symbol of excellence. He gave this
idea In his effective "Bacchus." But

marquis in the charming Mozart
scene THE Dream of the Marquise,"

hue and texture, and a train-bear-

gay comedy note.
The "virtuosity" Of the ballet, in
toe dancing and exquisite picture,
came In the ballet from the "Thun.
derbird," music by Tschaikowsky.
Here Fokina was a mass Of floating
thistledown. in her silvered white
feathers with a touch Of midnight
blue as the "Thunderbird." With
her four other floating white.feath-
cred forms gave illusion and art in
charming posturing, and 1.-the &C.

The Dying Swan" of Fokina's, to
the Saint-Saens' music, is rare In
marvellous sustained oe.posturing,
and in the whiting, dying drama of
the wounded bird. She Is an
exquisite thing in face and form,
fluttering to her death in truly
pathetic pantomime. And then
she becomes a vivid gypsy, and

turesquely vivid with that spirit of
childish play that is a part of the
Russian spirit. She is less subtle
than the peerless Pavlowa. in her
drama, but has an exuberant dra.
matte quality with a perfect art.
Fokine becomes a dilletante in the
Melancholy" OF his final Russian
group with Fokina. He has been a
dashing Spanish toreador, and now
becomes masterful as one of the
Russian people.
The music, with Mr.. Steinberg in in
cidental piano solos and a string
trio, was effective in expressing
this music. An orchestra Is more
adequate, but the smaller form was
more gratifying than an inadequate
orchestra, for the players We're art.
lists.
The spectacle in costume and idea
was excellent. Ones esthetic sense
was offended by the taudry black
curtain that robbed the glory from
the dramas enacted on the stage.
1t was the sixth of the concerts dip

Chamber Music Society.

SHOJLD BE ONSOIlCITED.
Congressman Macarthur of Oregon
member Of the Naval Affairs Com
mittee, said:
II do not approve of propaganda
to get distinguished honors for any
officer of the army or navy. They
should come to a man unsolicited
and by free act Of Congress, with
out political manipulation or wire
pulling. AS far as Sims qualifi-
cations are concerned, make no
comment"
Congressman McClintic Of Okla
homa, another member of the Naval
Affairs Committee, declared Sims
would not have "a Chinaman's
chance" to become a full admiral
The House. he said, had set a very
fine precedent In refusing to make
Major General Crowder a lieutenan,
general because his work in handling
the draft law was a bombproof as
signment, and Sims position was
the same.
Furthermore, according to the Ok
lahoma Congressman, the House had
heard so much OF Sims attacks or
the army service of supplies and his
derogatory remarks about other
branches OF the army and navy dur
ing the war, that a proposal to honor
him would not attract the votes OF
either the Republicans or Democrats

and others is typical of the sentiment
expressed by members of the House.
Congressman Byrne Of South Caro-
lima, member of the subcommittee on
naval appropriation, said:
II don't think there would be any
chance Of passing a bill to make
Sims a full admiral, but II there
ever was a chance, this exposure
of the methods employed to create
sentiment has certainly killed that
chance. The bill which sought to
make him an admiral passed the
Sixty.siXth Congress. Since that
time the House has learned so
much about Rear Admiral Sims
that I am satisfied it would not
