Sonpps Howard foreign i, editor. t By William Philip Simms I-). MOSCOW (By Mail) —At a coinggntunlst vaudeville show— P,The house seats about 3,000. It’s Hjlfiicked. Even the standing room is Bpiled. Prices range from 50 cents to fb1.60. Ivit’a Sunday and everybody is out UpTl his best bib and tucker. The ' jrijrls do not remove their hats .and MBttr-ost block the view. Fortunately Eloper cent of them are hatless. Ilf The floor is not so very sloping, iSkli there is great craning of necks pknd much leaning out into the aisles. f?The first act is 4 political skit.

Tattle Hurrah The crowd takes to this moderately. but with nothing like the hurrah American audiences ured to put into their reception of George Cohan in one of his big finales featuring, as f they say in the lingo, the Red. White and Blue. Incidentally, the American flag was not in the song. Whether the young lady had not been able to find an American flag in Russian, or likes us better, or had never heard of. us, or her time in the olio was too short to permit the song reaching the United States, you'll have to guess for yourself.

vaudeville, without political allusions. An ice-skating act or. a patented floor and done to American music goes fine. An Italian "lightning change artist” does a whole play with himself in ail the characters—the riot of the bill. As an encore he docs the well-known imitation of famous composers leading the orchestra, his changes being j made in full view of the audience. John Philip Sousa is one of his best, "Stars and Stripes Forever,” kid gloves and all. Learning to Smile Rife isn't all polities here. Tra- | ditionally the Russian is one of the : gloomiest of people, but he seems to |be learning to /Smile. Ten years ago, in 1916, wfien I was here last T carried away the impression that what Russian needed most was a sense of humor. Now she seems to have one. Russians are champion movie ; lans. They pack the theaters and lead the titles out loud. This they do for the benefit of neighbors who, likely as not, do not know how to lead. Douglas Fairbanks’ "Thief of Bagdad" ran a solid year here and during Doug and Mary’s re-, cent visit to Moscow I ha 4 to enter my hotel, where they stopped, by the back way. the front being blocked by fans waiting to catch a glimpse of the favorites. At a summer park I anfrled in one of the mechanical “fish ponds.” I caught a lead fish, numbered. The number called for the only thing I ever-won in my life in a game like that, and of course, it had to be a rocking-chair! The crowd about the concession laughed heartily when it was handed over to me by the attendant They seemed to see me crossing frontiers and seas and paying duties on my impossible burden as T went.
