...fury of her acting, but New Yorkers were not impressed with her wiry, imperfect voice, scarcely at its best in the open air. They thought her dance of the Seven Veils more realistic than graceful. Ivan Ivantzoff was more secure as cowardly King Herod. Conductor Alexander Smallens made the score taut and exciting, shared honors with Stage Director Ernst Lert who has produced creditable Salomes at Freiburg, Leipzig, Frankfurt, Basle, Milan. Manhattan applauded the ingenuity with which Lert changed the Stadium platform into an Oriental terrace and clothed the singers in costumes out of Edmond Dulac...
