...wellpublicized, spectacular raid. "What a pity!" he lamented. "We had . . . the nicest people . . . 16 cooks. . . . It was not like a club; it was like a home. . . . My heart broke." The day previous he had withdrawn his play, Papavert, from Broadway. Refurbished, renamed Mr. Papavert to preclude confusion with Freudian categories, it was later reopened. After eleven per formances the play, though very funny in France, closed with a loss of $35,000. On the day it closed, he intrepidly opened his second speakeasy venture, ''Joe Zelli's."

Director Rouben Mamoulian added to the story a few Freudian touches. He made Hyde an incarnation of primitive sadism rather than a London bogeyman who was bad without good reason. Fredric March, ably assisted by Miriam Hopkins and Rose Hobart, is magnificent as Hyde, and he gives Jekyll a stilted Victorian elegance which, being a little false, makes Hyde's existence seem more credible.

He had long dis carded the skirling imagery of Petrushka and The Firebird. When he wrote Oedipus he was deep in a desire to return to the classicists, anxious perhaps to begin all over again, to see where a new trail would take him. He chose an old, formal pattern fundamentally...
...There were strange and disquieting elements in his work which for a long time baffled and disturbed the public of America. . . . They misunderstood, if they did not mistrust, an eroticism so exquisite and distinguished. Better Renoir and Matisse, they thought, and the more primary Freudian reactions of such masters than a painter so intent on capturing and passing on to us the heat, the fever, almost the libido, of a colored fabric, a seated girl or a garden flower...
