OF the century and "a lyrical ecstacy of
love-" Miss Cowl's Juliet is described
as "a young girl Of today living her
tragic story here and now, no longer a
chapter out of the traditions of the
theater or page out of English Iitera-
ture. but a beautiful, vividly glowing
figure typical Of loves tragedy"

THE Chauve-Souris has been fairly
stepped in artists since its
founding nearly decade and half
ago. The painters found it a con-
genial spot where they could col
laborate freely with people who un-
derstood them and would give them
a free hand to express themselves
Various artists took advantage OF
this atmosphere while the Chauve-
Sourfs remained in Moscow.
When Balieff reached Paris in De-
cember, 1926, in his flight from his
hungry and distracted native land,
he was without a stitch OF scenery
made. And they had to be made in
the droll spirit of the originals II
they were to assist the Chauve-
Souris in perpetuating for the west
ern world the reputation which this
diverting theater had gained In
fortunately, Balieff found in Paris
as fellow exiles two of the foremost
of the younger Russian artists,
Sergei Soudeikine and Nicolas KEN
soft. To them was intrusted the
settings for the well known numbers
out OF the original repertory and for
the new ones which Balien added
from time to time as he discovered
the tastes of his new audiences.

OF these two head designers of

too, he came in person with Balieff's
band.

rather than without, Remisoff's eye
is singularly penetrating. One of
his gifts is that of caricature, and in
Russia, under the nom-de-p plume of
Re-mf, he was proprietor and chief
contributor to the pages of the comic
which. late in 1918. fell afoul Of the
increasingly rigorous bolshevik CEN
sorship and was suppressed.
Reminoff remained in Petrograd,
however, and turned his hand to the
designing of scenery for private the
connected with semi-private theater
called THE Peacock's Tale" Life in
the cars old capital became too
difficult. however, and in 1920 he fed
to Paris.
Remisoff has Caught on" with
amazing rapidity in America. His
work for the Chauve-Souris, espe-
cially his designs for the Parade of
the Wooden Soldiers, for the Death
Of Horse: and for the gypsy number
are singled out and praised.
But much as NICOLAS Remisoff is in
evidence, his able partner of Paris
days has not been forgotten by
Balieff's patrons, If only for his gay
and brilliant setting for the old Rus
sian polka, "Katinka," done in the
style of the toy wooden music boxes
made by Russian peasants.
Sergei Soudeikine came to Balieff's
aid with a larger fund of practical
experience as designer in the
theater than Remisoff He is widely
and favorably known as one of the
leaders of Russias artistic younger
generation. and has frequently ex-
hibited both in his native Petrograd
and in Moscow. He is a founder of
one of the most important exhibiting
groups. Mir Iskusstva, or the World
of Art, to which Remisoff also be-
longs.
Amidst the gay and brilliant set
tings designed by these two artists
and numerous others, no one need
fear that the art of the Chauve-
Souris will be incomprehensively
