Miss Maud Allan has resumed her place in the
ordinary evening bill, and Mr. Granville Barker replaced
Ask No Questions and You'll Hear No Stories by
Farewell Supper," his own paraphrase of another of
Herr Schnitzlers Anatol dialogues. A Farewell
Supper is so great an improvement on its predecessor
that the performance of it leaves one asking questions.
Why did Mr. Barker not begin with it? Why, at all
events, did he begin with Ask No Questions and You'll
Hear No Stories"? It is, it is true, the first of the series,
which, by the way, one has now been able to read
but he does not mean, one believes, to
give the whole seven, neither is he giving in their
proper order such of them as he does mean to give.
So why, one asks again, did he begin with it? Its
dramatic value, as one implied, is, for all its accomplish¬
ment, but slight. Anatol's doubts as to whether his
mistress is true to him, and his inability to ask her, do
not carry. One sees the result, but one does not know
the cause, for the cause is working unseen in the young
man's mind. With a Farewell Supper it is very
different. Our incorrigible hero, having lost his heart
once again, is preparing faithful Max in attendance to
break with Mimi in order that, being off with the
old love, he may be on with the new. Of course there
will be a scene. Mimi will cry, Mimi will reproach
him, and he is wishing that to heavens it were
over. Mimi comes a lovely lady, the stage directions
say with news of her own. She, too, is in love
again, and she is going to throw him over. This,
of course, does possess some point dramatically. You
know the cause for Mimi turns the tables and you see
the result in Anatol's speechless chagrin that anyone
should dare to treat him as he treats others. It is
delightfully effective and delightfully amusing. The per¬
formance was not, perhaps, supremely happy. Mr. Barker
was not, one feels, enough in earnest, and Miss Lillah
McCarthy seemed scarcely at ease. Neither was Mr.
Niger Playfair quite as apt as before. But the little inci¬
dent was most beautifully staged, and won a great deal of
appreciation. Miss Allan gave four dances Debussy's
Danse Sacrée et Profane," Grieg's "The Birds,
Sibelius's Dryad," and Schubert's Moment Musi¬
cale." All, needless to say, were carried through with
the remarkable grace which has spread her fame so far.
One cannot help feeling, however, that simpler music
suits the dancer best, and that, just as it seems
to be more in accord with her theory, it yields,
in practice, richer and greater results. On the opening
night the Moment Musicale was encored, and this
lends some support perhaps to the suggestion. It was
indeed, a beautifully lyrical effort, and charmed as one
of the others was able to charm. The house was crowded.

te in common with that either of Céline Chaumont
Yvette Guilbert. In its way it is, nevertheless,
tite as original, quite as amusing. If you can
lagine a French, or rather an essentially Parisian,

adame Balthy. That she has no great hopes of
quering by force of beauty she makes no secret;
is upon her powers of comedy that she relies for
cess. And they are quite exceptional both in
ne and in quality. In the trife specially written
her by Mr. John N. Raphael, Madame Balthy
pears first as an actress in search of an engage¬
ent, then as a Tyrolean Suffragist, with a lovely
del, and finally as an operatic star, impressed by
le belief that what the public wants nowadays is
oisse, not music. She is good to listen to in each of

nitations of Réjane, Polaire, and Sarah Bernhardt,
