AMUSE POLI'S—Feodor Chaliapin. An audience that overflowed the eapacity of Poli's Theater yesterday ternoon listened to a long list of songs of great varlety, offered by the genlal, composed Challapin, eall- ed the greatest of Russian singers. The glant artist has a method all his own of announcing his songs by calling the number of each selection in faseinating accent to his audlence, which obediently scurries through the pages of the little booklet provided for just this purpose to read the English translation of the chosen song in Chaliapin's collection of sev- enty-six songs. This genial Russ with mobile fea- tures, fair hair and large. expressive hands condescended songs yesterday. and even then ap- plause trickled toward the stage from the audience as it shuffied out at 6:30 pm. The power and dramatic fire of the basso's voice were hest shown in his rendering of “The Two Grenadiers" (familiar to all from ==hool days, yet sung as never heard before), the fascinating “Song of the Volga Boat- men.” which Challapin was forced to repeat, and the vivid “Russian Con- viet Song.” “The Midnight Review” was typi- cally Russian in its morbid theme, which reeked of the supernatural, combined with sordid war and death. “When the King Went Forth to War" was equally blood-curdling both in theme and treatment. Chaliapin scems a firm bellever in emphatic contrast, not only in method of placing his varied songs. but also {n developing the strong lights and shades in each song. He the impression that he never the same sonk in exactly the same mood twice, vet that he has studied each song to make a many-faced gem of it to reflect the rays of his rich tones and make the song inseparable from his own pegsonality. This is particularly true of his lighter songs. the whimsical “Mephis- to’s Song of the Flea.” “Don Ju “The Government Clerk” and the cynical “She Lauched.” Yot one must &lso include in this category the im- pressive “In Questa Tomba.

This comedy itself is well worth seeing. It is well played and quite enjoyable. But the outstanding feature of the entertainment is the remarkable cdramatic work of Sidney Kirkpatrick, as Herod, in “Salom It bears the stamp of genuine art. A notable fact In connection with the play is that its staging on a veranda. in the moonlight, gives the shadow to Salome herself and permits the ac- centuation of the character of Herod {and its splendid presentation by Mr. Kirkpatrick, who dominates the per- formance throughout and holds the tense interest of his audience.

The Secretary of Hughes. along with several hundred others in the big ball- room, seemed thoroughly to enjoy the evening's program. i It was a treat. All college glee clubs are more or less good, none of them are fallures; but it might be said with perfect’ candor that the Brown bovs presented entertainment ast night which for divertissement and musical excellence is surpassed by few. if an The variety of the program was well arranged, and with a single ex- ception, registered a big hit. The ensemble singing of the club, par- ticularly in contrapuntal arrange- ments, revealed fine training, not eas: of achievement. The mandolin club was at its best in a Spanish dance, by Moszkowski. and a welrd “Dance of the Skeletons.” by Allen, while the Varsity Dance Orchestra presented some of the latest dance variations, “The Long Day Closes,” “The Lost Chord,” 'both by Sullivan, and par- ticularly “Invictus,” done with splen- did_aplomb and gusto, revealed the club’s real quality, while its merrier groups of bright collegiate and hu- morous numbers kept the spirit of the program high. Burleigh's ‘Heav- en.” and Cook's “Swing Along,” negro melodies, were done with real’ expres- sion. Much applause *was well merited by the 'Varsity quartet. Messrs.
