(Theatrical) Balieff's Chauve-Souris Of Moscow. (New York: Dancey-Davis
Press, 1922). $95.00
Original edition; quarto; pp; 32; illustrated with color and black and
white plates, several by Serge Sudeikine (Sergei Sudeikin, N. Remisoff;
Ralph Barton centerfold caricature of the audience, a who's-who of the

reinforcement in the gutters, else, a good or better copy;
In 1922 La Chauve-Souris made its first tour to America, through an
arrangement with the producer Morris Gest. La Chauve Souris performed on
Broadway from February 1922 to June 1922 (153 performances) and January
1925 to March 1925 (61 performances) in productions produced by F. Ray
Comstock and Morris Gest. Balieff was featured on the cover of Time
magazine.
The shows consisted of songs, dances, and sketches, most of which had
been originally performed in Russia. Balieff, as master of ceremonies
for the show, was known for his feigned lack of English on stage. His
monologues and introductions were delivered in a mix of Russian, French,
and English language and slang coupled with much gesticulation. However,
in private Balieff's English was better than that of his stage persona.
The Rockettes' annual "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" mimics the
original Chauve-Souris choreography.
