BY CHARLES DARNTON. NEW serpent of the Nile was seen at the Empire Theatre last night, when A Alla Nazimova, in “greenery-yailery" colors, writhed through “Bella Donna,” James Bernard Fagan's four-act version of Robert Hichens's ‘atmospheric novel. In getting under the skin of her part the snaky Nazimova was aided by a | resemaker with a true eve for reptilian effects. Her costumes were enough to make any man crawl. One glance at} them should have conwinced the trust-! ing husband that he was sure to be| oned during his honeymoon on the Nile, It {# much more necessary in the play than in the book for Nigel Armine to suggest that love Is blind. Those cos- | tumes that gleamed and glistened him no choice In the matter. } Mme. azimova didn't trouble to 1 mind us that the notorious Mrs. Cheps- tow, known as Bella Donna, was once a en before she became Mra he Was the siren pure and # me} —or as pure and simple as the law) soverning sirens will permit, She didn't| aste any time on the refinements of role. Tt took only one act for this peditious charmer to capture Nigel for her husband, much to the horror of his despairing friend, Dr. Isaacso ‘The second act, in the villa near Luxor, | found her in the arms of Baroudt, the! gyptian with a fondness for fair- sinned, golden-haired English ladies, It was a bit odd under the cireum- es to hear him cail her a “white since she was not only as dark ax Iwmself but wore her hair in a| strange distinctly Oriental, That his words should be robbed of thelr meaning, however, was no great loss, This was lost sight of in watching the sinuous creature dash Gt her lover in the ardent fashion set by Cleopatra some time ago, Nazimova's whirling, swirling embrace tn the second act, with her neck bent Gack to the breaking point and her arms clutehing the skies after Baroud! had Mme. Nazimova as Nirs. Chepstow. vot a good grip on her, was picturesque, to say the least. It was quite apparent that she saw the erotic possibilities of the role, There were times when she seemed to seo nothing else. t there were real flashes of temper when Dr Isaacscn came aboard the houseboat and interfered with her lowing task of ing Nigel sugar of lead in his coffee.

Neither sympathy nor interest fol lowed Bella Donna. In this respect she suffered by comparison with Lris, tn whose fate Miss Vinginla Harned made feel a great deal more than interest. Bella Donna’ may be described as potsonous melodrama. The play owed most of ita atmosphere to the ecene- painter. Jt was splendidly staged, But au drama it proved rather uninteresting. ‘The clash between the American doct ahd the Jewish specialist that holds your Interest in the book didn't “play” well, The scene between Nie) and Dr, Isaacson in the last act, however r the most effective one of the play, Frank Gilmore as the Hon. Nige!
