BROADWAY NIGHTS By AXEL STORM ■ nutrßh*at>d by kifig Iraturra. In/ * ' ' i»

NEW YORK - The third contingent of Russian sh - k troops arrived at the Bclasco Theatre the other night with a play called "Dark Eyes" by Elena Miramova whkh has the advantage of having been written in English today, as against the fifty years of Chekhov and the present-day ineptitude of “The 1 Russian People." “Dark Eyes" also has the additional advantage of having been staged and produced by Jed Harris. And if "Dark Eyes" found favor with the audience (which it didi, more credit should go to Harris than I to Mi ramova Natasha, Olga and Tonia, ac tresses, want to act. Two of the ladies write a play. Getting a producer is a problem until a friend invites them to Long Is land as house guests. There they meet a gentleman with money and a new slant on the theatre He's willing to finance the play without changing any of the sleeping arrangements. That's almost revolutionary'- fh** money being not immediately f irthcoming. a bit of financing has to be done, and a cheek is written on a hank in which there are no funds It's the kind of a comedy situation with which Harris can do wonders, and he does. There aie gaps in th" play, but not in the i, tection. Thiri- are times when the action founders, but th ige ' moves on, and it’s only after you've got tin/’ to think about it tii.it you note the hiatus. If Miss Miramova had had the dra mafic a<| iiprie nt and technical facility of Ji 1 Harris the play would have ts'en as nearly per feet as such things get to be. today. As it is, "Dark Eyes" is a good character comedy, touched ' slightly with movie madness, but it ought to achieve a run at the Ih!.-. -co and l>e made into a fun ny movie afterwards. The three ladies who play this Yankee version of three sisters under the greasepaint are the Mis* s I ugenie Leontovich, Lud-

mila Toretzka and Miss Miramova. Critical reaction to the trio has been uniformly good, but Mr. Burns Mantle found himself mildly baffled by three Russian accents operating simultaneously on the same stage. However, even Mr. Mantle found the play diverting, and recorded that Harris "keeps the story moving and frequently points the action cleverly." Others in the cast of "Dark Eyes," all uniformly well cast and doing their best, are Carl Gose, Oscar Polk, Minn!" Dupree, Maude Russell, Anne Burr, Gera Korvin and Jay Fassett. As to Mr. Harris himself, it might be said that he's been away from Broadway too long, not so much for his own good, but for the good of the theatre. We always believed him to lie the best director operating in America, and if he hasn't reached a cordial entente with the movies it’s probably because he has what many i movie director hasn't got as standard equipment—artistic integrity. Since he's back now, he ought to stay. The state of the theatre at th" moment isn't a fortunate one. and anything Mr. Harris can do for it by rolling up his sleeves and going to work would be to its advantage and to his. Otherwise, there's little to report on the theatrical front except that the Russians have taken over. "Nine Giris," which opened at the Longacre the other night with an all girl cast hasn’t caused much excitement. There are a couple of murders In it, and according to some of the critics the violence ha« ts-cn misdirected. On .the other hand, Miss Barbara Bel Geddes is in the play, and that's very mucn in its favor. Miss Bel Geddes is well on her way to a career of distinction. She deserves, soon, to get a piay into which she can sink her teeth. So far "Letters to Lucerne," "Little Darling" and ‘‘Nine Girls” haven't given her much to bite into.
