AMUSEMENTS Balief’s Chauve Souris. Ballef's Chauve Souris at Poli's this week 1s the last word in theatri- cal entertainment. Unique, pletur- esque, beautitul, at times exquisite, laughable, even pathetic, it seems to combine all that the theater has to offer clothed in the garb of art and | bathed in the atmosphere of comedy. 1t is a panorama of surprises—a real delight to its audience, and those who have long forsaken the theater be- cause of its medloerity or its fallure to satisfy must needs get busy about returning this week, or they will lose an anloyment that' seldom comes this Fll’l( of all, there is Balieft himself. Who shall paint his picture, or con vey an idea of what he is to his splen- did offering? He'is comedy itself, an cducational treat, for does he not in “a few well chosenwords" give his hearers an Insight intowhe languages And he 18 a past master.in the art of diplomacy. Funny, frapk, &l Smhusing. Ballofl 3 once.ds a vital integer of his amusement enterprise. He offers you music far “more ele. gant than the modern jazz," art in- comparable that fades into gro- tesque comedy that turns wonder into | laughter, romance into ridicule, pathos into revelry—and all set in'a rainbow of reds and blues, with the wonderful trickery of lighting effects and a stagecraft that approaches wizardry. There is even a solemn touch of re ligious devotion in “Zari-Zarianits: “the miracle of the Holy Virgin" which plctures a group of young| ncvices at a chapel door drinking in a sacred legend chanted by an oid O pligrim; tableau of the Porceleine de (See-Saw), a relic of Ma nette, now in the Lou To Nt °In ' terpsichorean featur which is grace personified, by Mmes rabanova and the famous: Scldiers, which, when the laughter and af plauss dle away, gives place to & festooned portico of white pillars bathed fn a blue light, with an open casement, and “Songs of Sentiment” sung beautifully by Mmes. Birse and Ershova in a picture that lingers long in_the memory. Before one has thoroughly enjoyed this exquisite bit of work comes the | ridiculous and laughable S Death of the Horse and the Great- ness of the Russian Soul an elope- ment in a Russian cab, with the young lovers urging the driver to go faster—until the poor horse drops dead and the party is overtaken by the stern parent or husband, who promptly offers a money reward to the driver for the tragic happening, only to be refused, and to have the tri- umph of virtue pointed out to him. This, in turn, is followed by ‘the duet from “The Sleeping Beauty,” a cat romance, with music by Tschaikow- cky, which soon gives way to the marionette presentation of “La Grande Opera Italiana,” on a mimic stage, by artists whose voices proclaim _their cuperb quality—and yet even this is pure burlesque, “The Mfnuet,” a touch of the pathetic, presents a cold, grim scene with the meeting of a famous old ballet master and an equally famous old dancer who follow their tears with 2 minuet of age recalling their fame in other days. Then comes the quaint and catchy old Russian polka, “Katinka, danced by a too-modern daughter of an old-fashioned merchant, who, with his SWife, flank the small platform, on either side, upon which the young woman hops to the polka &tep while her parents en- 4oy the performance. Followng _the there s exquisite art in tir Meissen:| lntermxsflun comes boat: | man’s song, which is familiar to Wash- | ington, save that here it is sung to the panorama of the weary boatmen -who draw boats with a long rope which en- circles each, another touch of tragic pa- thos. “La Tabatiere Muslecal the music box, comes next, with its pan- tomime of two lovers vainly endeavor- | Ing to exchange greetings, while a cruel | old woman, winding yarn, defeats them at every turn. ‘ The music and the movement of the figures in this are for all the world like those of a quaint old music box of generations ag “The Night Idy one of the most ludicrous of the comedy tions, shows a pdir of lovers at ad- Ijoining casements endeavoring to sing love songs., while on the roof | & auartet of cat with gleaming ! eves, m(ar]eut lhelr musical meows.
