F7 'CHAUVE-SOURIS' AT HIS MAJESTY'S Balieff and His Russian Company Present Entirely New Programme HIGH LEVEL OF ART Strong Appeal Is Made to Aesthetic Senses, Though Humorous Side Is Not Forgotten A "Chauve-Souris" in.

which every programmed item is new, but with all the oddity, the rich humor, the intuitive sense of form and color and light, the haunting beauty and underlying Slavic melancholy of the old, is at His Majesty's Theatre this week, having opened night before an audience demon- tie strative in its appreciation, though numbers illustrative of the incurable. propensity of Montreal theatregoers to stay away from even the best of attractions until the week is far spent. While the programme is new, there is one feature of the performance which is unchanged and which no patron would consent to have changed, and that is the originator and inspirer and master mind of it all, the rotund Balleff, with his moon-like countenance, his quizzical smile, and the fearful and wonderful melange of English, French and other languages in which he casts each number, leaving his hearers in a of expectant bewilderment. To pronounce any verdict to the effect that this year's bill is more, or less, enjoyable meritorious than than of last season is not the purpose of the reviewer, for such a dictum must vary with the taste of each individual beholder. most critical observers it will seem that programme there ds more 'insistence upon the artistic and romanaspects of entertainment, and that a greater effort has made to produce effects that appeal to the aesthetic senses, instead of an attempt to merely amuse.

This does not that the humorous element has "bean altogether eliminated, for three or four of the' new numbers are as mirth-provoking as any in the, previous repertory of the company, while the measure is fully made up to those who prefer the hilarious note by the rendition as extras of the best of the old favorites. The first number, "Stenka Razin," living tableau in those vivid colors beloved of the Russian painters. To the spectator who has not previously studied the playbill with its synopsis of the action, the sug. gestion of the scene is that of a Slavic variant of the dance of Salome before Herod, and later, lie discovers that he is not far wrong, even though the basis of the production is a famous legend of the Volga, with a marauding bandit, his jealous mistress and a captured Persian princess as chief figures. number is inslinct with barbaric feeling.

"The' Rendezvous of Love," quaint, by polka Mme. and pantomime Karabanova per- and M. Gorodetsky before a drop bearing their painted counterfelts, is followed by "A Winter Evening." an exquisite duet by Mmes. Birse and Ershova, with Fritz Kreisler's Viennois" serving as the burden, for a song of sentiment. of the humorous conceits is, "Love in' the in which damsel is wooed iu turn by drummer, sergeant-major, lieutenant, colonel and general, each giving place perforce to his superfor To some few unregenerates in house it must have recalled a highly indecorous effusion libellously attributed to a very lar great poet happening and in dealing the Anglo Indian army.

"An Ancient Cameo" is as gemLike as its name suggests, in the posing, graceful and figures rhythmic dn movement eighteenth of century garb before black velvet background. "The Shepherdess Interlude" is another bit of pantomime and dancing, but 'in a lighter mood, to the accompaniment of the "Shepherd" song from Tschaikowsky's "Pique-Dame." Another animated tableau follows, Ilya Repin's famous delineation of an incident from Gogol's "Taras Bulba" being utilized for an effective picture of Cossacks of the Dneiper concocting a defiant and insulting letter to the Turkish sultan who has demanded their surrender. The ferocity and humor or of The deepest note conveyed by the life and time participanimitably ance is struck in "The Arrival at Bethlehem," in which the Biblical incident is treated with a blending of reverence and naivete which recalls the spirit of the old mystery plays. The postures and singing of the characters, and the setting and lightkng, combine to create an atmosphere of awe and faith which makes the number impressive and robs it of all suggestion of the theatre. "The King Orders the Drums To Be Beaten" is a visualization of an old French ballade, in which the reiteration of the refrain of "Rat-aplan, rat-a-plan" dramatically rendered by the singer has something of the same oppressive effect as is given by the throbbing drum in "Emperor Jones" and creates the suspense which finds its climax in the tragic denouement, "Siciliana" and "The Four Corpses" are amu8ing travesties, the first of early Italian opera in all its stiltedness and unreality, and the second of mid-nineteenth century opera with its wholesale slaughter and excruciating death-scenes.

"A Country the "last of the scheduled items, is well worth waiting for, in its agreeable picture of a pleasant outing and the charming songs rendered by some of the most talented of the women vocallets of the company. The extras generously thrown in by Balleff and his artists were the aiways-popular "Parade of the Wooden 'the sprightly "Katinka," the rollicking "Chastoushki," or workpeople's songs, and Mme. Birse's all given in response to demands from the audience, which perhaps were not as spontaneous as might be Imagined by the unsophisticates. To some at least among the audience it would have been a rare treat to have heard azain "A Night at Yarr's," with its alternately sad and gtirring' gypsy songs, culminating in the wild, fierce strains so unforgettably sung last year by Mme. Sylvia Dianina, now regrettably absent from the company because of a serious iliness.

W. Shefler at Windsor The "Misses made formal and graceful bow last evening to over 300 admiring parents and dance devotees at a recital of the pupils of George W. Shefler in the Windsor Hotel. Apart from physical daintiness and charming rhythm evident through all solo, and "ensemble" presentations several talented pupils were outstanding among the thirty-two dances on the varied programme. Naomi Winter in "Rosita," a pupil whose remarkable advance source of amazement to her master; Edythe Ziff in an Arab dance; Baby Esther, the child syncopater; Pansy Hoffman in popular songs and dances and the "Valse Coppelia" by Mr.

Shefler and his pupil, Doris Vallance, were features of the evening. At intervals in the recital assembly danced to music by the Society Syncopaters. Corsages, bouquets and floral baskets were presented to many of the pupils during the evening. Mr. Shefler and his secretary, Miss Mary Beetles, were both recipients of expressions of esteem from the class.

The programme was as follows: Overture, Shetler's Trio (Mary Beetles, Bert and Julliet LaFrance; grand students; arm exercises, juniors: Bar work, Betty Greenslade, Marjorie Lord, Una Lamont, Louise McLea, Sydel Radovsky, Shirley Ripstein, Naomi Winter, Doris Vallance; floor technique, ensemble; Welsh dance, juniors; gavotte, juniors; syncopated specialty, Baby Esther; bye-lo-dollie, juniors; peek-a-boo, Babbitt; elf dance, Pansy Hoffman, Nancy Rubin, Rose Norris, Thelma Levey, Ella Leon; aragonaise, semble; little flower girls, GuylaMae Babbitt, Pearl Cleghorn, Marcia Dumont, Gracie Morier, Lois McGilp, Marilyn Smith, Elise Wyndham; Russian, Majorie Lord, Tony LaFrance; Anna Meighen, Laura Reigler, Isabel Superior, Doris Vallance; springtime, Lols McGilp; song and dance, Pansy Hoffman, Nancy Rubin, Thelma Levey, Marilyn Smith, Ella Leon; nosegay, Shirley Ripstein; tulip time, Una Lamont, Radovsky; rosita, Naomi Winter; rose dance, ensemble; valse dainty Rose Norris, Arab dance, Edythe Ziff: minuet, Una Lamont, Peggy Slater, Evelyn Rosenfeld, Shirley Ripstein, Sydel Radovsky, Betty Greenslade, Muriel Bald, Rita Ven-. ters; tarantula, Marjorie Lord; valse coppelia, Geo.

Leviathan's Entertainers and Spanish Clown Features at Princess DANCE REVUE AT IMPERIAL Programme Also Includes Bright Comedy Act, "In China'---Dance Act and Orchestra at Loew's. At the fag end of a vaudeville the devotee naturally looks season for a depreciation in the fare provided, but the Princess management week belies the theory that the this things have all been season's good exhausted. Not only is the programme tertaining, on but a two acts of headline whole thoroughly encalibre are presented. First honors fall to the orchestra of the easily S.S.

Leviathan. While from the reit presents it might be classpertoire jazz organizations, the ed among manner in which it plays this jazz is distinctive as to at least partly convert these musically inclined who find little that is appealing in syncopation. In the ensemble work of the orchestra there is evidence of real musical skill, and there is a noticeable lack of stridency that marks the playing of too many jazz orchestras. The organization is excellently directed, and even the selection of the programme sense of discrimination. In addition to the instrumental repertoire the orchestra presents Mr.

Emmet O'Mara, who has a charming lyric tenor voice, which he knows how to use effectively, and his singing of "Irish Eyes" was especially pleasing. He also shows his versatility by singing another numand ber, English. and The excellence of the "Honest Truly," in French orchestra's offering is enhanced by the scenic investiture and lighting effects. With the stage set to represent an ocean liner and by the use of a back drop showing the I shore, the ibusion of the steamer leaving port and passing out of sight of land and into the open sea is most effectively achieved. Altogether the act is one of the best seen this season.

Second in point of merit to the orchestra is Pepito, the Spanish clown. Pepito in make-up and methods is original; his buffoonery has all the comedy of the traditional clowning, but he uses different methods. His imitations of birds and animals are realistic, and his travesty on ventriloquism is novel and highly entertaining. His company includes man and a woman, who render cornet duet in a pleasing way, While these acts are the outstanding, features, good the material. bill also Mar- inguerite Padula in an act she calls Song Study of Boys," by personality and ability rather than by brilliance of theh material she uses, succeeds in providing several minutes of good entertainment.

Other acts on the bill provide roller skating, introducing some new stunts, by Beege and Qupee; comedy song and dancing, by Block and Dunlop; novelty in acrobatics by the Five Avalons, and humorous skit by Mallon and Case. COMEDY ACT AT IMPERIAL Modern and Old- Time Song Offering Also Scores Hit It is safe to predict that those who attend the Imperial Theatre this week will be amply repaid by one of the best vaudeville programmes that theatre has shown for several months. "In China," the 'headline act, is the reverse of heavy, being a comedy plot woven about the flirtations of a fickle sailor and the quaint superstition that an a untruth, told before a certain native statue will cause it to lie shattered in a thousand pleces. It is given a scenic touch of the exotic atmosphere of the East and a peculiar charm is lent by the Madame Butterfly type of Chinese girl who is introduced. The dance revue of Ann Francis, appropriately called the sunshine girl, is a swiftly changing number which has the charm and shapeliness of its fair leader mainly to thank for its success.

"The Hick and the Chick," the Frank and Bar1ow offering, is one of those old hayseed-and-pretty girl numbers, which, if ably handled, never fail to score a hit, and the ancient rustic, in this case, brings down the house with laughter. In the modern and oldtime songs of Helen Brennan and Mae Winne it is hard to tell for which type the audience has a preference. Dressed in the pantaand hoops of the olden days, the girl exponent of the songs of the past is probably the more popular of the two.

Bert Swor 1s a blackface comedian who takes the professor of human anatomy role and uses it to strong advantage, being rewarded by roars of mirth from his hearers, although he almost mars his offering at times by clinging to some of the oldest jokes whose appeal has long since passed. Mrs. Wallace Reid is to be seen in the feature film, "Broken Laws," in which she is ably supported by Percy Marmont. It is a story of mother love of the kind which seldom fails to touch the sentimental side.

"Excuse Me" was a stage farce by Rupert Hughes, and he adapted his play and supervised its production. Perhaps the familiarity of the audience with experiences on a Pullman car made the misfortunes especially character seem funny, but certain it is that the locale of the story--a train speeding across the. continent--seemed very opportune developing comedy.

Jimmy Lyons goes merrily through a smart monologue in 3 character which kept the audience in chuckles. "The Book Shop' proved to be a bright little skit, ably presented by Jackson and Mack. The best part of the act of Menetti and June are the acrobatic falls done by the male member of the team, which seemed to please the audience. Frost and Morrison have a repertoire of smart songs, and sing them well.

The MacDonald Trio open the bill with a bicycle act which is distinctly out of the ordinary in merit. ENGLISH COMEDY WELL PRESENTED "Eliza Comes to Stay" Enjoyed by Big Audience at Orpheum It would be difficult to' conceive anything more thoroughly English than H. V. Esmond's amusing comedy, "Eliza Comes to Stay," which was presented last night by the stock company at the Orpheum Theatre. It is an English play of the most satisfactory kind, brimful of sparkling lines, well said by the interpreters.

"Eliza Comes to Stay" is the essence of English modern comedy, written by a playwright of considerable note, greeted with tremendous hilarity by the large audience which turned up for the first night. The action is perhaps not extremely original; but there is A certain charm difficult to describe, so wholly Anglo-Saxon that dyed must the seen to be fully appreciated.

Sandy Verrall, with Miss Alison Bradshaw and Murray Kinnell in the respective roles.

Miss Bradshaw is extremely droll in her caricaturish part of the "cherished child," and her change to the "dangerous" is most charming. Her admirable restraint from making the part one of burlesque deserves more than a mere passing compliment. As for Sandy, Mr. Kinnell is all that can be desired. In a notable study of the impeccable butler, Mr.
