By the Associated Press NEW YORK, January 5.—A Rus- sian version of “Carmen” was pro- duced for the first time in New York last night by the Moscow Art Theater | Musical Studio, a company of youth ful Russians who arrived from Mos cow about a month ago. Without any scenery, the Russians obtained remarkable effects by an un usual use of the chorus. Much of the time the chorus and all the actors not at the moment directly partici- pating in the action of the opera were posed in attitudes of arrested motion.~ These poses were changed rapidly. As a rule, two or three of the sup | porting cast were in motion. but there were some moments when, except fou the principal singer, th2 entire com- pany might have been statuary, so far as visible motion was concerned.
