The Metropolitan wheels went round

the Metropolitan Opera House from

Present Three Dramas.
The Moscow Art TheGter has now
presented three dramas, a historical pa
geant called "Tsar Fyodor," Gorky's
symphony of the slums, The Lower
Depths" and Tchekhoff's great play.
The Cherry Orchard" The variety of
impersOnatiOn that the players have
shown in these three pieces may be
judged from single case.
The "Tsar FyodOr," one of the lead
ing figures, is a rather god-like old no.
bic, Prince Ivan. This part was played
on different evenings by two different
memb FRS of the company, Stanislavsliy.

ton, and LutZsky, one of the first string
players. There were the slight differ
ences in individual impersOnation which
the actors Of this company always
show when playing the same parts,
but the two figures weIs the same in
general outline.
This week, however, these two actors
have been appearing on the same even
| ings in parts opposing one another and
the difference is staggering. Stanslay-
sky is the tall, stumbling aristocrat of

| devotion. The difference is as great as
between DeWolf Hopper and Silkhat
Harry, and there is an uncanny sug-
gcstiOn of each in the two players.
Austria and Hungary, assisted by
| England and America, send us two bits
of eXoticism that don't quite register
"Jitta's Atonement," in which Bertha
halich is starring, and "Dagmar," q
vehicle for NazimOva's return from the
movies. "Dagmar" is silly bunk, the
story Of a yamp revamped by Louis
Anspacher from the Hungarian of Fe,
renee Herczig. Audiences laugh in the
wrong % places.
Shaw's AtOnement. Too.
I'm afraid that the most interesting
thing about "Jitta's Atonement" is that
it is also Bernard Shaw's. The English
dramatist has adapted the play as {
tribute to the Austrian playwright. Ire

might wander back stage without fear
or breaking a rule.
The enthusiastic audience is asked,
these days. to help maintain disci-
pline. No flowers are permitted to
be thrown to the stage; the artists
are ordered not to make speeches on
festive occasions; talking during re-
hearsal is strictly forbidden.
Such is progress. 1t is probably all
for the best interests of our opera.
Yet it sometimes makes us vince. Pre-
negatives once given are missed when
they are taken away. And they are
surely gone. One can only sigh and
speculate on what is coming next.
Some Recent Operas.
Considering the quality of the opera
presented at the Metropolitan it is
really marvel that the high stand
ard is so consistently maintained.
Such uniformity is not to be found in
any other opera house in the world.
Europeans continue to patrOnize us for
our music. but somewhat less vehem-
emily. They are gradually learning.
Those who visit New York and attend
a Metropolitan performance or two are
frankly awed. We do ninety per cent
of it so infinitely better than any for
eign opera company that the would-be
critics are left speeches..
