course, they were not what you think
OF when Lions are mentioned. They
were not great Cats with shaggy
names and big sharp teeth. They
couldn't roar until the earth would
shake with the sound. They were Just
insects, small insects at that, each at
the bottom of small pit in the sand,
lying in wait for an unsuspecting
victim to fall into that pit. They
were Ant Lions.
1t seemed queer to call such little
creatures Lions, but as Sue said, if

By Mordkin

Mikhail Mordkin, one Of the
greatest opponents Of the Russian
ballet, brings his large company
Of American and Russian dancers
for a single program Sunday night
at the National Theater at $3.50
o'clock. Mr.. Mordkin has been in
this country for several years now,
working with a studio group for
these concert appearances for more
than six years. He brings this
company in this initial program
in the National Capital under the
local management Of William A.
Albaugh.
The Mordkin ballet is noted for
colorful, gay entertainment. with
excellent scenery and costumes de
signed by the great Russian artist
who does much Of the Metropol1-
tan Opera scenery, Serge Soudei-
kline.
The two ballets which the COM
pany presents here are both new
to washington. One is a revival
of Pavlowa's great success. the
French ballet "Giselle." which tells
of a peasant girl who won a royal
lover and later was taken from
him by fairy forces. This is in
two scenes.
The other, outstanding ballet
novelty, is THE Goldfish" by the
modernist, Tcherepnine, who uses
the Russian poet Pushkin's work
telling the legend Of the Old Fish
erman and the Goldfish. as basis
for this three-act ballet. It has
humor and legendary charm as
outstanding qualities.
Lucia Chase. a young American,
is prima ballerina; Viola Essen,
petite foil for her, and the Rus
slams Leon Varkas and Dimitri Ro'
manoff, dance other leading roles.
Mordkin, himself, appears in the
Tcherepnine work.

Girls and others more familiar to
those who lend an ear to the loud
speaker.
Among the specialists are that
washington comedy team of Gar
ner, Wolfe and HakinS in their
stooge nonsense. The G. w. and
H. trio has never been the same
since the Earle cancelled them
after one show because their COM
edy was too roughhouse for Thir-
tenth Street. In their movie
debut they have a few minutes
for pure goofery and help the
laugh score.
Another new comedy face is a
burly comic named Max Ter
hume. New to this critic he rings
the bell with some outlandish
limitations and homeSpun humor
a la Bob Burns. He includes in
his fun routine a ventriloqual
running gag that is a gem.
FAST DIRECTION
The story is one Of those fluffy
fictions about the Park Avenue
lady with a radio voice and q
high hat for the poor but hon
est agent who gave her a chance.
So the Spurned Romeo digs up
another voice and turns the
tables on the girl who Tilted him.
Frances Langford, in grand
voice, sings Sweet Heartache." "
Last Night I Dreamed of You"
"Was It Rain?" and Love Is
Good" are other numbers by Tenor
Regain, with Ivie Anderson Of the
Ellington crew helping out with
some scat and swing.
Gus Mems direction is fast, bal
ances story and tunes SO that the
action is Kaleidoscope. Those who
favor the orchestras may hear Ed
die Duchin's piano work in a waltz
medley, some of Duke Ellington's
improvisions, Carl Hoff'S swing.
1.-The Hit Parade" is well worth a
place in the F Street procession.
Mad, merry and melodiouS, I think
the Capitol Theater fans will like
it,
