VEN so brilliant an event as Belasco’s coming production of “The Merehant of Venice,” with Warfield putting a fresh edge on Shylock's glittering knife, cannot blind us to the amazing glow steadily mount- in the holiday sky. This radiance is reflected from a theatrical Christ- \ Ties tree loaded down with plays outnumbe.ing any simflar display in | Broadway's saturnalian history, Already ten “openings” are announced for Ghristmas night, and more will follow as the turkey grows cold.
