A MERICA is just beginning to
IA realize the amazing depth and
breadth of the treasury of Russian
art and particularly the art of the
theater and its component crafts.
When Nikita Ba1ieff brings his
Chalve- -Souris back to Washington
this time he will carry us several
distinct steps forward on this path of
discovery. For among those who
have collaborated in making the most
varied and kaleidoscope program he
has ever had in II years of the Bat
Theater in Moscow, are such names
as Alexander Sanin, Boris Romanoff
heretofore scarcely known outside
Russia. and Alexander Benois.
Alexander Sanin, a household word
among the theatergoers of Russia, Is
introduced as the regisseur of Ba-
lieff's new bill. Precision, thorough
ness and intensification of the taste
for striking contrasts are the quail
tiles which Sanin brings to the new
Chauve Souris. Sanin was one of the
founders of the Moscow Art Theater
belonging both to Stanislavsky'
group, the Society of Arts and Letters
and to that of Nemirovitch- -Dant-
chenko, the Philharmonic Society
the two groups which. merged
brought the Moscow Art Theater to
life. Sanin helped materially in
staging the first play, "Tsar Fyodor
Ivanovitch." He not only played the
role of Loup- Kleschnin, but was espe-
cially intrusted with the direction OF
the mobs. After few years he
broke away and entered the field OF
opera and musical drama. In that
field, as we'll as in motion pictures.
he became known as one of the most
versatile of Russias theater artists.
Three years ago he left Russia for
Madrid where he directed the Royal
Opera. From there he went to Paris
to stage Mussorgsky's "Hovansh-
china" Later he produced Boris
Godunoff" in Rome. He had returned
to Paris last Summer when Baiieff
engaged him.
Boris Romanoff, another total
stranger whom Balieff brings, Is the
maitre de choreography of the new
Chauve-Souris. Romanoff Is of the
younger generation" He was grad
uated at the Imperial Ballet School
in 1903. a leading character dancer
and soloist in the ballet and opera
at the Marinsky Theater, after the
revolution. he left Russia and be-
came ballet master at the Royal
he founded the Romantic Theater
with his wife, Elena Smirnova
Anatoly Obukhon and Elsa Kreiger
He himself was the premier char
acter dancer and by his combina tion
of ballet and opera, he achieved an
innovation of success, particularly

stage, and sometimes down into the
orchestra pit.
And all this time Wheeler's pathetic
ballad dismally continues.
One night in Boston recently Dooley
got solar plexus punch that nearly
, knocked him out. When he was
dragged into the. wings he needed
real towel-waving and water-dousing
before he regained his wits.
Nothing like realism gasped
Dooley, but If I am going to be a
fighter 1 think I'll turn professional
Most OF the fights that people pay
big money to see are like waltz acts
in polite vaudeville compared to this

"Mismates."

Myron c. Fagans new drama,
"Mismates," will open for a week s
engagement at the Shubert- Belasco

Mr.. Pagan does not believe in a
system of exploiting any one partic-
ular star in any of his plays. So
far in his productions of "Foc the
Defense" Thumbs Down Two
Strangers From Nowhere" and The
Siren" he has cast his plays on the
premise that a particularly goo1 act
ing company will give a much more
intelligent Interpretation of a play
than to project star surrounded by
a mediocre cast. To that en1 he and

Dancer of Noble Birth.

EOR the first time Washington will
have an opportunity to see one of
Russia's exiled nobility in the role
of dancer, it is announced, when
Irince Rouffat Bel Haliloff will ap-
pear at. lie Paradis next Tuesday
night as a featured entertainer.
Prince Haliloff comes to Washing
ton from n long engagement at the
Alhambra Theater Of Paris, where the
exotic novelty of his Russian dances
registered a notable triumph
The group of dances which the
prince presents were originated from
dance motifs used in the Russian
peasant dances and also from the
lesser known but more sensational
dances of the gypsy entertainers who
were the favorites in the cafes of
St. Petersburg under the czaristic
regime.
Like many other of the Russian
nobility, it is claimed, Prince Haliloff,
after the bolshevist accession to
power, was forced to become a
refugee. He managed to escape to
Constantinople, where, through the
kindness of an American naval off,
Ger, he was enabled to reach Paris.
