Belasco-" -"Seduction.

A new three-act drama, a romance
of the desert by De Witt Newing. will
be seen at the Shubert-Belasco The
ater tonight. 1t is described as a
mixture of melodrama and comedy
and bears the unpleasant title, Sc
duction."
The story is that of Sir Reginald
Wingate and his daughter. who had
disappeared within a half hour after
her marriage to Lord Eric Struthers,
whom she discovers to be lacking in
the desirable qualities of faithful
husband. She fees into the desert
and takes refuge in the tent of Add
Ell Rahman, a sheik. whose son had
been a servant in her fathers house
hold. Innocent of Add Els oath of
vengeance against her family be-
cause of the execution of his son un-
der Sir Reginalds orders, she be-
lieves she is safe under his shelter.
The father and husband come in
search of her.
In the desert is another Arab-the
white sheik-a man of mystery,
former British army captain, whose
sister had been driven to suicide by
Struthers. He sees an opportunity
to smite both his enemies, Add Ell
Rahman and Struthers, by stealing
the young wife from the formers
tent. To tell the rest of the story
would be to destroy the suspense of
the play. 1t is said there is abundant
action, with comedy.
A series of dances is exhibited in
the second act, with Mile. Lisa Paw
nova offering a specially delightful
number. A ballet of six dancers pro-
vides the rest of the entertainment.
The cast, headed by Frank Wilcox,
Allyn King (for the past four years
prima donna of the Ziegfeld Fol
lies") and Henry Herbert, includes
Charles Denniston, Dorothy Holmes,
William Podmore, Adrian Morgan,
Matte Edwards, Edward Davidson,
Erin O'Brien Moore, Hamid H.
Ghoshal and L. ". Granville.

Poll 's-BalieH's "Chauve-
Souris.

When Nikita Balieff and his new
"Chauve-Souris" come to Polls The
ater next week, opening March %,
this ample and amiable Russian
promises the most ambitious, artistic
and varied bill which he has ever
presented in the II years history OF
the Bat Theater of Moscow.
Familiar as Balieff and his unique
mode of entertainment are to his
American patrons, his return to
America has been characterized by
several distinct and unsuspected
novelties. Among those contributed
by Balief himself perhaps the most
striking are Love in the Ranks"
and The Arrival at Bethlehem" The
former, with it's sophisticated humor,
amusing by-play and the luminous
setting and brilliant military cos
tunes contributed by Nicholas Benois,
seems likely to run The Wooden
Soldiers" a close race in popular
favor. THE Arrival at Bethlehem
with its reverent depletion of the Ma
tivity in the spirit of the middle ages,
is an innovation. as far as America
Is acquainted with Balief's theater.
but the inclusion of such a serious
and beautiful number in a program
of song and dance and humor is
strictly in accordance with the GUS
tom of Balieff and his homo stage in
the entire Russian theater. Seldom,
it is claimed, has a modern artist re-
created the spirit of the early renais-
sance as has VASTLY Shoukhaeff for
this episode taken from The Golden
Legends of Yyette Guilbert. Other
outstanding numbers on the new bill
are "Steuka RaZin,'' a vivid moment
in the life of Russia's Jesse James;
'"The Zaporozhtsi," based on Repin's
famous Cossack picture, and "A Win
ter Evening" which for sheer charm
has never been surpassed in the en-
tire repertoiry of the Chauye-Souris.
Morris Gest's most notable contri
button is the Chauve-Souris cross
face puzzle curtain by Ralph Barton,
painted by Andrei Hudiakoff
Then there is a song introduced
outside the program which rivals the
favor. 1t is "Oh, Katerina," written
by Fall in honor of the Chauve-
Souris. Nine. Birse and Balieff him
self join in teaching 1t to the audi
ence in Balieff's own intimate, ire
sistible way.
The singing and acting quality of
the ensemble, 1t is claimed, has been
vastly improved since last year.
Gayety-"Fast Steppers."
The attraction next week at the GAY
ETY. Theater will be Fast Steppers"
which offers two acts of musical num-
bers, pretty girls, fast-stepping ensem-
bles and comedians.
