i 1 New York.—When the d'Oyly Carte Company returns for ns Spring ingagement to Broadway, || there will be three smiultaneoue ver-ions of "The Mikado" on the main stem to assault the collective •ar. The WPA "Swing Mksdo." about which we told you 5 the "Hot Mikado** in which the veteran and greatly loved Bill Robinson ii tapping away, and of course "The Mikado" a* Messrs. Gilbert and Sullivan intended it to be—now called the hammock, or drawing room version. That’s a lot of stages from which to hear "Three Little Girla Are We" [ at the same time, even if the' versions are in various stages of staggered rhythm. We complained that the "Swing Mikado” was too much mikado •nd not enough awing. We can't complain of the "Hot Mikndo" for the same reason. The best we can do la to say that the producers of the "Hot Mikado," which is a legitimate and commercial stage venture, saw both the d'Oyly Carte and UTA versions, took them both and combined the best features of each, added additional swing — what with Bill Robinson ad-lib tapping every performance—and spent a lot of money to stage a superb •nd entertaining show. The WFA idea Is to give emI ployment to no many worthy un- | employed •ctors and actresso* as I may be done in a limited budget. • Ninety per eent of WFA stage I money goes Into salaries which. J incidentally, aren’t a whisper I compared to real stage salaries. I The remaining ten per cent goes I to mounting the show. You can’t j buy costumes for hay —sn the ’ "Swing Mikado" costumes aren*t ! what they might have been if ! more money had been available I for their manufacture. If there's I a deal of nakedness In the WFA » version, the cause u purely eco- - nomie, not moral. Tour reporter found a deal of nakedness, put .t j

wasn’t objectionable. There was, •Iso, a deal of fun, a natural high spirit level which the general run of stage shows don't usually achieve. Thia isn’t to say that the "Hot Mikado,” at the Broadhurvt Thea, tre. Isn’t a spirited show. Hassard Short’s staging insures against a lack of spirit. It's a much more polished Mikado, and generally speaking, on a considerably higher level than the WPA. Which, of course, io as it should be. Money was available for the i best voices, the best dancers— I vide Bill Robinson — and for -cenery and costumes. The costumes are what the critical fraternity have been calling "lavish" for many years, and we can't Improve on the word. The scenery '» swell. There's a lot nf swinging and a lot of what Mr. Sullivan would have been amazed by In the way of harmony among voices and in the orchestra. We re not going to get fussy at this late date, but we might as well tell you that we found the hammock version pretyr good, without the distortion of rhythm nnd the addition of Jitterbug gyrations. It, as pop used to say. was rood enough for father, and It’s good enough for us. But we irrudlngly have to admit that both ►wing versions aro fun—once. The real fun in listening to Gilbert and Sullivan’s plays Is that they're never tiresome. We'd go to the d'Oyly Carte "Mikado” once a year—maybe twice. We'd go to the swing and hot versions just once, and that would bo enough We'd walk many mites Io see Bib Robinson danee. but he could dance just m well in any other background. There. That's out of our ayetern. We liked the Swing Mikado. We liked the Hot Mikado. But «e prefe* * The Mikado” as it was Why don t you find out for I yourself?
