THE bat" will be the offering the

Last year when THE Bat was pre-
scented for the first time in each city,
it is claimed, the business was phe-
nomenal. breaking all previous house
records everywhere, and Il appeared
the play had exhausted all mystery
fans. 1t was with some misgivines
that Wagenhals & Kemper launched
it the current season, but all doubts
are now said to be dispelled. Last
season it became evident that THE
Bat" was just as popular on return
engagements as any play in the his
tory of theatricals. The continued
popularity of "The Bat" seems to be
not a freakish break in business, but
genuine interest in the play.

ovation by the time that the last
number had sounded it's last note. In
deed, the audience was SO eager to
presentation of Liszt's Concerto in e
Flat" by. the orchestra and Mischa
Levitzki, piano soloist, that applause
rippled into little explosions during
the last few chords Of the compost
ton. This young Russian pianist inn
businesslike attitude toward both
his playing and his audience. His
technique is excellent and he played
the trills and resounding bass chords
OF the solo part in a faultless, en-
phatic manner that left little to be
desired in a colorful interpretation
There were two or three instances
where the orchestra's accompaniment
threatened to drown out Mr.. Levitt
zki's notes but. on the whole, the or
chestration was conducted by Mr.
Coates in a manner that suggested
the carefully restrained design OF a
tapestry background for one central
motif-the piano solo.

first performed in the city to which

audience which heard 1t yesterday. 1t
is, in its four movements with pro-
logue and epilogue. series Of pictures
of phases of London life. Mr.. Coates
obilgtngly wrote very Illuminating
notes explaining of what the different
melodies merged into this symphony
were typical in London. and his sym
pathetic direction of this composition
of the capital OF his native land aided
the audience in receiving a vivid pic
ture from the music. This is a compo-
sition which one feels desirous of
hearing over and over again to look
i'm delightful anticipation for the
many poignant little melodies. The
Coster dance motif in the scherzo
movement of the symphony was par
ticularly charming.
The first number on the program
was lovely Suite for Strings" by
Purcell. The melodies are all inter
esting, some of them are jolly and
bright, Yet the general mood of the
entire composition is one OF dreamy
fantasy and quaint airs. In all of the
numbers Mr.. Coates proved Wig
oroCs and understanding conductor
of the colorful powers of his orches-
