Warner Bros u heil-for-leath- SCyOfficialfe" IRENE RICH CONWAY TEARLE Abies Irish Rose At Orpheum Monday WIIAT THE GAZETTE OF MONTREAL SAYS OF MOllDKIN'S PERFORMANCE Mikhail Mordkin and his Russian ballet gave those who attended their opening performance at His Majestys theatre last night an enchanted two hours. In the poetry of their dancing they rot only capture the very essence of life, but they infuse into it that added beauty which the perfect passage through any artistic medium brings in its wake. With the rise of the curtain the audience is transported into the exotic atmosphere of the Arabian by Nights, while a choreo-dram- a Mordkin, Axiade, is danced against a back ground of vivid scarlet, crimson and yellow hangings, and all the gorgeous panoply of the harem. Axiade, taken captive by Sheik Hussein, who is bewitched by her beauty, lures him to his death that she may escapes, using as her weapon the poison that the sheik's former favorite had intended for her. The antidote is known, and the sheik, cured of his folly, returns to the arms of his favorite. The composition of both the theme and the picture is completed by the slaves, the the vendor of slave girls, the enuch, and all the colorful memhers of an eastern M. Mordkins interpretation court. of the passionate sheik is spirited and virile, while the artistry of nis motion is a thing to marvel at. Combining the airiest of grace with tremendous muscular strength, he executes the most difficult movements with what appears to he complete lack of effort. era Xcmtchinova, who dances the part of Axiade, is the incarnation of snake-charme- r, With Gertrude Olmstead Otis Harlan Gertrude Astor Emily Fitzroy and a Rig Cast feminine grace exquisite and alluring and full of fire; while llulda Butsova, who in this ballet dances the more minorrole of the favorite of the harem, displays the finished art which made her Pavlowaa chosen first associate. The chorus threads its way in and out of the scene, daxxling the eye with its rapid rhythms and adding much to the eastern atmosphere of the ballet. The second number offered Souvenir of Roses is a complete contrast to the bizarre Oriental ballet which precedes it. A delicate phantasy, almost unreal in its ethereal leauty, it tells of a girl in a moonlit garden where the fragrant white roses bring back to her the memory of her lover. The garden is suffused with the unearthly glow of the moon, against which the girl and the corps de ballet, in their diaphanous white skirts, flit like sprites. In this number, Hulda Butsova's dancing is poignantly beautiful, a wistful and spiritual portrayal of the heart of the yearning maid. As the boy, Pierre Yladimirnf f is joyous and buoyant, with all the illusiveness of the memory he represents. The divertissements which compose the third and last portion of the program are charmingly varied. A dance of Brittany, done in clogs and gay peasant costume, recaptures the simple jollity of these old world folk. M. Mordkin dances a solo number, Italian Beggar, a characteristic thumbnail sketch showing the contradictory arrogance and servility of the type. Vera Nemtchinova's Nightin STARTING Comedy-Dram- a gale is delightful with its birdlike movements; while Wanyka Tanyka" by Mile, Marvin and M. Arshansky, a most amusing mechanical doll arrangement, moved the audience to aughter. Pierre Vladimiroff gave a stirring number with a decided Slavic flavor called Dance Classique. By request Mile. Butsova added "The Seagull'' to the program. This dance, which is on the style of famous Swan was performed in a manner highly suggestive of that of the celebrated danseuse. The Spinning Top, in which the dancer I I Pav-luwa- 'a Melodie llebraique made a fitting grand finale to the evening, with its wide emotional gamut ranging from the wailing at the wall to the most exultant joy. Mile. Nemtchinova and M. Mordkin danced the solo parts, accompanied by the company, who supplied the background of old Israel-itis- h times. The music, under the leadership of Vladimir Bakaloinikoff, was most enjoyable,' and was excellently arranged to suit the moods of the different numbers.
