CHAUVE SOURIS
IS STRONG ON
GAYETY

Sergei Sudeykin is the man
who put color in Balieff's "Chauve.
Souris," the Russian revue COM
ing to the Belasco Theater, be-
ginning Sunday. Sudeykin has
become so closely identified with
Balieff and his work that, al
though he executes commissions
for other stages and is considered
one Of the most sought-after Rus
sian easel painters, he considers
himself a member of the "Chauve-
Souris.''
Morris Gest, two years ago, hit
upon the idea of Sudeykin con-
tributing color-to the stage.
"Sudeykin's colors bring tears and
laughter. They laugh. smile, and
even giggle. He interprets the
soul of the innocent, the child
like Russian" declared Gest.
The Romance of the Toys" the
second number on Balieff's new
program. is Sudeykin's contribu-
ton to the gayety, and color of
the "Chauve- -Souris."
1t is in keeping with Sudeykin's
theories on color, and is an ex.
ample of the Russian futuristic
style.
Like Balieff he believes that
gayety in art is more significant
that serious tragedy.
