...took the shape of a highly naturalistic narrative called The Enormous Room. In the present volume we have a collection of his poetry. His work is always distinguished by a rigid adherence to freedom. He would rather die than be usual. The result is a riot of noise and color, of poems sprawling across and around and through the page. His phrases are unforgettable and wholly unique.

A third individual, one Kitty Kelly but lately elevated from the chorus, displays stirring possibilities as a comedienne. Music, color and dancing are supplied in wholesale lots of excellent quality.

In the last, Mr. Bliss throws down the gauntlet to the theorists and with a magnificent fugue...

Bakst's most recent triumphs include the Nuits Ensorcelées (Enchanted Nights) for the Paris Opera. He devised the plot, painted the scenery and selected the Chopin incidental music.
