ONCE the first OF September, the
- theatres have been working up to
full swing, and there is more Of in
terest than one can possibly hear and
see. The grand opera first with its
fine conventional presentation Of
standard operas large proportion Of
them old Russian tales set by Russian
composers. The familiar ones are
done in particularly spectacular way
more impressive in this particular
respect than | have ever seen them
given. Around the corner, under the
same direction, the more modern and
more original presentation of the
same operas. And then still more
modern and original the setting of
both opera and drama at the three
Moscow Art Theatres or studios"
For instance, in contrast to the
splendid conventional Carmen" at the
Bolshoi. or Grand Opera House, there
was the setting at the Art Theatre
Carmen" restored to its original form
and rhythms, and freed from its
tawdriness. with an entirely modern
idea of setting, the chorus mere
background OF effective posturing and
accompaniment. The same set was
used turnout, some trifing addition Of
detail and different diffusion or con-
centration of lights giving the required
change OF scene and atmosphere. The
same treatment is given to Boris
GOdonov," whose composer, Mousorg-
ski, was so far ahead Of his time that
so good an artist as Rimski-Korsakov
thought it necessary to reduce him to
conventional standards. Now this
opera is to be restored to the com
poser's own expression of the crude
barbaric early Russian spirit.
At the MeyerhoId Theatre IN the
Sadovaya Ring are given plays which
are the last word in modernism. No
concealment Of stage mechanism, no
curtain even, the scenery shifted
around by the actors, sometimes as
part Of the drama-scenecy that may

which characters are posed to indi

would consider sharing such under
takings, whatever its attitude on the
general question Of reduction of
armaments.
President Coolidge made this plain
during the recent campaign In his
reply Of October % to an inquiry
from the Society Of Friends in Phila-
delphia, seeking a statement of his
attitude as to the league disarma-
ment conference proposals. In that
communication he said:
This Government is deeply inter-
ested in every effort to promote the
limitation Of armament and to re-
move the burdens of militarismH This
Government has not yet been invited
to attend the conference to which
reference has been made. nor have we
yet been advised that plans to hold
such conference have been per-
fected. 1t is our desire that there
should be conference to effect limi-
tatton in armament and we, shall
sympathetically consider any invita-
ton that may be received for this
purpose and will gladly give our CO.
operation, provided we are permitted
to do so without commitments which
would involve US in European politics
or be contrary to the established
policies OF this country"
In Official circles here it Is Deem
ed that the British move means an
adjournment Of the arms conference
until 1926, with the possibility of a
revision Of the protocol itself at the
next assembly meeting. Officials,
however, are careful to insist that
postponement does not mean aban-
donment.
Oficials regard the British request
as based on the desire to observe
empire policy by carefully consulting
the dominions. 1t is believed that
special points involved include the
activity of the British feet under the
protocol, the provisions of which
stipplate the taking Of sanctions
against an aggressor state and which
it has been argued in some circles
might result in bringing Great Brit
ain into a dispute with the United
States as a non-member Of the league.
Other points involved probably are
the so-called Japanese amendments,
whereby domestic problems could be
aired before the council, and the ques-
tion of revision Of treaties. Some
states fear that the treaties, espe-
may require revision later, and the
protocol, being rigid, might hinder
this revision.
These states apprehend. for in
stance. that the protocol might mako
it difficult to live up to article -
Of the covenant, which says that the
assembly may advise reconsideration
of treaties which become inapplicable
and consideration Of international
conditions whose continuance njrht
endanger world peace
