Highways and By-Ways of LiF OF New York (Copyright, 1922, by ths Public Ledger Company.) 'By RAYMOND CARROLL.- "

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—1 t was the smartest sort of a New Vork theater audience—women In captivating frocks and gowns with necklaces of pearls and diamonds, exquisitely coiffured hair and beJeweled fingers tapering into much manicured nails, and all this inset upon a dressy white fronted expanse of carefully valeted, barbered and roundly butlerod males. Decked in the pomp and full livery of a uation’s abundance those American men and women were unconscious that they were looking Into the aching depts of another nation's soul— Russia's. The opulent appearing audience laughed and cried by turns yielding to the mesmeric sway of the foreign artist beyond the footlights. “X wonder,” whispered the voice of a traveled companion when a salvo of applause had subsided, "if the good people around us realize that these very Russian actors 2nd actresses witnessed the flight of elegance aud fashion from Moscow, a city which in pre-Soviet days was more gay aud extravagant than New York has ever been?” Morris Gest, theatrical manager, is one who looks further than the dollar sign, lie may or may not have a “profit” from his importations of "Balieff's ChaiiveSouris," and the presentation of that novel entertainment at the Forty-Ninth street theater. I personally am of the opinion that Mr. Gest, who is Russian born, bad a far higher motive, thaii dollar getting in his. extraordinary venture. One thing Is certain—his Russian company of ten women and twenty-five men have taken the big town by the ears, and even hard-boiled Broadway is twisting Us tongue around the diificuit-to-pronounce Russian consonants, and struggUng with the extremely capricious Russian accent. DRAMATIC CRITICS LOt'b IN I*RAISES. The dramatic critics have told unstinted praise of the show itself, which is vaudeville de tuxe on the Russian plan with Russian-painted scenery and Russian music. In characteristic fashion they have done their reviews, pointing out the good voices, and the rare bits of humor, the genuine Russian dancing and the gypsy singing. It all helped to bring out the fashionable crowd that nightly swishes the felt-carpeted aisles of the theater proper. But as to the personnel of the company—ah, there was our chance, so we went back stage to talk w-ith thege Russians who act so'well, they must have been “somebodies” in that great empire which once stretched the width of two continents. At least we felt we could begin with Nikita Balieff, the ! rotund and exceedingly jovial interlocator of the entertainment, who in the attire of a m:-itre de hotel steps before 1 the curtain to introduce each event of ; the program, providing gaies of laughter , and who said his American is bad be- | cause he studied his English in London i “from an Italian.” We found him installed In a small j dressing room, mopping his expansive j brow with a handkerchief. “What did : that Russian at the rear of the theater mean when he called you a ‘goworite gromtsche' ? I asked. $ “He called me nothing, only asked me to speak louder,” replied the great Balieff. “Goworite gromtsche,” is Russian for “speak louder,” he added. Then followed innumerable questions and their answers and when the Russian director was on the stage we talked with various members of the company, j through the medium of George Birse, a tenor singer of English parentage who “doubles in brass,” as they say in Amercan vaudeville by acting as private secretary to Mr. Balieff. MOSCOW IS REAL RCSSIA. Petrograd may be the seat of govern- ■ ment, but Moscow, surrounded by beau- ! tiful parks and picturesque suburbs, has , been and always will be the social, in- [ dustrial and artistic center of Russia. ; Here at the famous Art Theater, Nikita ! Balieff was for ten years the principal j comedian. His name is really Balian, j for he was born ia Erzerum of Armenian j parents, his father being a famous iner- |

KEEP UR!C ACID OUT OF JOINTS t Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat Less Meat and Take Saits. Rheumatism is <■—-re* to avoid than to cure, states a authority. We are advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water. Rheumatism is a direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce 'uric acid which is absorbed into tho blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink which helps overcome uric acid and Is beneficial to your kidneys as well. — Advertisement.

chant at Bostov-on-Don, the Cossack city of the Caucusus. “In 1908, while still at the Art Theater, 1 decided to have an original theater of my own,” he said, “and I went looking through all the available cellars j of Moscow. In one of these a flying mouse, what you call a bat, hit me in the face and gave me the idea of the good omen name, ‘Letoutschaja Misch,‘ which I gave to my after midnight theater. I started and two years later 1 was doing so well that I left the Art Theater and since then I have always been Balieff, theater director. “Have you closed the ’Letoutschaja Misch?' ” he was asked. “When I left Russia alone in 1921 with my library I turned my theater over to my great friend Arehangelskl, the com- j poser, also like myself from the Art ! Theater,” was the reply. "He is running it now and I hear from him often. He has among his patrons many of the So- j vlot leaders.” Alexander Koloranski, former dramatic ' critic of the Russkoje Sir-vo. Moscow’s

THIS FLORIDA FATHER KNOWS What Children Often Need Eighteen Happy Children in a Healthy Black-Draught Family. Botts, Fla.—Near here is the plantation homestead of Santa Rosa County's well-known family—-the Taylors. To a visitor at the Taylor home, the Rev. W. N. Taylor authorized publication of the following statement: “I am comparatively a young man; am healthy and can do a lot of work. I am the father of eighteen living children. Our last children were twins. I lost one grown daughter from lung trouble, but certainly can say I have a healthy lot of children, about as healthy as you will find anywhere, and I feel I have been blessed. “Our home remedy is Thedford’s Black-Draught. I don’t know when the time was that I haven't used it. I have used it ever since I was married, I know. When the little ones are feverish, or have colds, we make a tea from Black-Draught and give them. When they are older, they take the powder dry. I know it is fine for lieadachesjfesour stomach, indigestion, and othdt|liver troubles. “I don't know just what we would have done without Black-Draught . . It has done wonders In our family toward keeping them well and healthy. Thanks to a good remedy. “I am a preacher, farmer and merchant. It takes all to take care of us.” (In an article about the Taylor children, printed some time ago in many newspapers, Mr. Taylor was quoted as saying that "they had always been happv, had always continued in good health, and hope to so continue”).

pre-Soviet “over a million" dally, who Is with Balieff as his “artistic adviser,” gave a thrilling account of their “getting out.” When I asked how he got away he modestly replied: “I managed to reach Odessa and when the Reds captured that handsome city and looted it I hid for eight, weeks in an insane asylum through the kindness of a friend.” In the Balieff aggregation there is a tall man of Serbian lineage, one almost as tall as the director himself and his name on the program is Wavitch, which means nothing at all to us Americans. But in Petrograd and Moscow for twenty years he was the idol of the Russian people—Michael Wavitch, the glorious basso profundo of the Imperial Opera Oomique. He was in Paris broke and unable to talk well in a language but Russsian. His wife, Satlana Pavlova, formerly tragedienne star with the Moscow Dramatic Theater, is now in Rome acting in motion pictures.
