FASHION CREATIONS
OF THE STAGE
BY BLKNORG DE WITT EBY. J
OTHEL BARRYMORE’S latest play. |
" "A Royal Fandango,” presented ]
her as a princess of “Plotsvltch.” and j
her gowns were as distinctive as her 1
personality—no ordinary mortal could •
successfully wear them. The first was
i flowing creation of black georgette,
with Innumerable panels and sleeve (
draperies and a train which swept the |
door. ( hlflfon petals were scattered!
here and there, as If a playful wind I
iiad been whirling them about, and 1
they fluttered lightly with the move- j
rnents of the wearer. A large black '
picture hat fringed with feathers at
the drooping brim completed the cos- i
tume.
Miss Barrymore also displayed a tea
Town of white chiffon, draped with
ndesoribable grace. The sleeve pan
ls nearly reached the ground and the !
rain foil in countless soft, diaphanous !
folds. A cluster of large roses shad-j
ng from br.ght red to fuchsia added ;
a dash of color at the corsage, while
i long scarf of filmy black lace was
brown over the shoulders to add fur
her contrast to the snowy back
ground of chiffon.
Costumes of picturesque Spain dur
ing the reign of Philip II were re
produced on the stage of the National
ast week, and they fairly took one's i
oreath away with their startling bril
liancy of coloring and richness of
abric. Three ladies-ln-waiting of the
court appeared in varying shades of I
;ed. one in an amazing creation of
■ost satin striped with gold ribbons, !
another in vivid scarlet silk trimmed
vlth ideated flounces, and the third
n deep cense velvet with a few ef
fective touches of dark green ribbon,
iiach gow n had a light basque bodice ‘
which appeared even smaller by con- j
rast with the Immense puffed sleeves
which extended io the wrists. The;
skirts were voluminous and hoops ,
held them out at the hips, so that the
I'olds occupied all the area for sev- !
oral feet around the wearers. I

cluciieos, Inst appeared in a hunting
costume of green velvet and later as

A New Comic Opera.
VLTASHINGTON is to ha.e a new

ing, and presented by no less than
ts famous operatic group, the Wash- I

||" THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME** 1
* with LON CHANEY, u “QUASI- H
MODO,” is the outstanding success of the I
theatrical world today. Critics and public B
hara bean moil enthusiastic ii their praise. The total .Z
cost eras more than a million and a half dollars* Just I
about fire times what one of the groat Follies coats. H
The production is being presented by touring com* H
panics, each carrying n special car of scenic equip* |
mont, n full stage crow and n special Symphony I
Orchestra. Thus it will bo seen that the operating {i
cost Is hoarier than that of the areraga musical com* H
edy. This elaborate presentation la certain to add 1
much to your enjoyment of the production. ll
la spite of those facts, the admission prices are
far below these charged by dramas haring only a
fraction of the production cost and half the oper
ating expense. The public has demanded super!-tire
productions, but those cost staggering sums. Erery
effort has boon made to haro as many popular-priced
•eats as possible. Seats are all rosorred and will bo
on sale next Thursday. You can order by mail or
phono and net waste ralnahle time In standing In Una.
One fact I want to stress at this time Ist

I large bows of silver ribbon. The
I high neck line of the bodice was
j bordered with silver and the huge
| sleeves were held in at the wrists
i with silver ribbons .and edged with
i double pleated flounces. The bows
! appeared at random on both bodice
• and skirt, and. as if they added in
sufficient brilliance to the creation, a
I scarf of silvery blue metal cloth was
j draped from one shoulder to the op-
I posite hip, where it half concealed
j the large wired pannier.
Violet Kemble Cooper, In "The
■ Camel’s Back." at Poll’s, displayed an
I unusual gown of canary yellow du
vetyn. It was fashioned In one piece,
1 fitted In a trifle at the waist, as there
■ was no girdle. Gold ribbon, two .or
| throe Inches In width, outlined the
bateau neck line and then zig-zagged
I in a diagonal line across the front of
the frock to a point below one hip,
then zig-zagged up again across the
, back. .Gold ribbon also was appliqued
I in several short rows to suggest a
, pocket, and again appeared on the
I long, tapering sleeves, which com
pleted the gown. A small cloche
chapeau of yellow, circled with blue
velvet bands, and a fur-collared cape
of yellow with four deep flounces of
blue falling over the lower part, were
attractive complements to the cos
tume.
Joan Lefevre. also In "The Camel's
Back." wore a charming little French
I voile frock. The color was pale orchid,
and applique roses of coral framed in
bright green leaves added an effective
trimming. The long-waisted blouse
I was topped with a simple collar of
white organdy and trimmed with
countless narrow organdy frills, which
ran lengthwise on the center front,
and also formed smart little sleeves.
The skirt, which veiled a foundation
of flesh-colored satin, was also em
bellished with tucks, and the applique
| roses appeared opposite each group.
'■ A plain sash girdle, tied at the side,
: add. d the linal touch. -
. Fraizl Scheft, at Keith’s, wore a
stunning gown of black satin, heavily
Jeweled in rhinestones. These ap-
I peared in elaborate patterns which
suggested cobwebs, two of them veil
ing the bodice, while three slanted
across the fhont of the narrow skirt.
I A tiara of brilliants poised on the
I singer's auburn hair was an effective
accessory of the gown.
Frankie Heath.
\UHEN Frankie Heath, the popular
” singer, was a baby, her bedroom
was usually back stage in some little
theater in the south. More than
once her bod was made In a steamer
trunk. She w-ould blink sleepily
when her father or mother rushed In
1 for a change of costumes, and then
drop peacefully back to the land of
• Nod.
Until sh© was nine, all her time
1 was spent traveling from town to
town for her father owned his own
, company, and her mother was Us
j leading woman.
One would think that such a child
, hood’ might have Inspired a longing
I for a life outside the theater, but
Frankie was a confirmed thespian.
She made her debut at six, like hosts
lof other young stars, as’ a "soulful
little Eva.” throwing as much emo
tion into her lines as ever the Divine
Sarah put into "Camille." From then
on she played all the childhood
classics, Including “Little Lord
j Fauntleroy," until at nine, her mother
, sent her to school in Boston.
She remained a few years, and then
( took French leave, to join another
company, singing specialties between
the acts. Then she drifted to a
Broadway chorus, which she left for
Keith vaudeville. She sings songs,
but each song contains a vivid bit of
emotional acting.

Bernard J. McOwen, has been given

A Notable Cast.
'I’HB cast of Galsworthy’s "Loyal
* ties’* is English, the only ex
ception being tho leading woman.
Miss Ottola Nesmith, who was born
In Washington, D. C.
Os the remaining members, most of
them are graduates of the English
repertory theater. For Instance,
James Dale, who plays the leading
character of De Levis, received his
training with Sir Frank Benson’s
Shakespearean Company: Charles
Quartermaine. who portrays Capt.
Dancy, was for years a member of
Sir Beerbohm Tree’s company; Deer
ing Wells his carter with
Forbos-Robertson; Victor Tandy
spent many years In the Birmingham
Repertory Theater and played every
thing in his line in Shakespeare.
Galsworthy, Synge and Shaw, his
most noteworthy achievement In Eng
land being his Gen. Grant In Drink
water’s "Abraham Lincoln," a role
which he played more than 700 times
In various London theaters.
Arthur Somers P.oche, the novelist.
It was not until after her father’s
death that Miss Nesmith thought se
riously of making tho stage her fu
ture. It was while In San Diego.
Calif.. that she made her debut as a
member of a stock company. Later
she was with the Woodward players,
a stock company that has won great
success both in Omaha and Kansas
City. Coming cast again, she was
engaged for similar roles In the stock
company at Reuling. Pa, and New
ark, N. J., remaining with the latter
about seventeen months and acquir
ing a great following of admirers,
for by this time she had become a
nptewortby ai-tl«te.
Miss Nesmith has also played lead
ing roles In David Belasco’s produc
tion. "The Vanishing Bride." witn
Henry Miller In “Just Outside the
Door,” Margaret Anglin in "A Woman
of No Importance.” John Drew In
"The Gay Lord Quex” and with Wil
liam Hodge. Last year she had the
distinction of playing both the lead
ing female roles In “A Bill of Divorce
ment.” replacing Miss Cornell In the
part of Sydney Fairfield for two
weeks In New York when the latter
was 111, and later following Janet
Beecher in her characterization. Early
this season Miss Nesmith appeared In
tho leading female role of a Shubert
production with Cyril Scott.
Miss Nesmith also has appeared in
a number of popular motion pictures
made at the studios of the Famous
PI *ycrs and Fox organizations.
While she likes tho pictures as a
method of perpetuating one’s acting
abilities, Miss Nesmith prefers the
speaking stage, for, as she declares.
“It is .so gratifying to hear the ap
plause and tho approbation of an
audience, which, of course. Is only
sporadic «n th** .c-cen dr-rria *’

Col. House on Robert E. Lee
“ROBERT E. LEE,” the play by
John Drlnkwater, which Wil
liam Harris, Jr., will bring to Wash
ington this week, was first produced
in London at the Regent’s Theater.
Th® Initial performance was given
June 20 and the drama of the south
ern leader ran for more than one hun
dred performances, which is a con
siderable record In the British capi
tal, where plays do not run as long
as they do on Broadway.
Many Americans in England last
summer saw the Englishman’s -Inter
pretation of an American hero. A
clipping from a recent issue of the
London Sunday Times indicates what
one American thought of the play:
“Only those who know how studl
Based on Incident m Real Life
T’HE story of "Loyalties” Is so
1 analagous to a classic of the Brit
ish law courts, with which Mr. Gals
worthy, as a barrister, must be fa
miliar, as to leave email room for
doubt.
About thirty years ago a beautiful
girl, well known In London society,
stole some valuable Jewels from her
hostess at a country house party. For
various reasons the hostess knew her
guest was in need of money. Gradu
ally rumors spread, so eventually the
young woman brought a libel suit to
protect her good name.- Meantime she :
had married a popular officer of a
crack Scots regiment. Sir Charles
Russell, the afterward lord chief
Justice, and the most brilliant advo
cate of his day, appeared for the
plaintiff.
All England and Scotland devoured
the caso. Tho reviews printed col
umns. For two or three days Sir
Charles had things all his own way.

ously Col. House, Wodrow ‘Wilson’s
silent adviser, hns restrained himself
from ‘saying anything” for years can
appreciate the extravagance of the
compliment he hag paid John Drink
water in a letter sent the other day:
“It Is wonh a voyage across the
Atlantic to S'-e your "Robert E. Lee.”
You have written a noble play around
a groat American and you have made
it possible to visualize Lee as the
south knew him. I predict wide in
terest In this, your latest and best
drama, and you have my hearty con
gratulations and felicitations.' ’’
William Harris, Jr., who Is present
ing “Lee’* to ihe south before he opens
it to a New York audience, produced
John Drinkwater’s two other plays,
“Mary Stuart 1 ' and "Abraham Lin
coln.” The story of Lee is told In
nine scenes and follows Mr. Drink
waters peculiar technique of play
writing.
The guilty person had gone to the
city of London, sold the Jewels foi
gold sovereigns, exchanged the gold
for Hank of England notes and then
disappeared. Sir Charles proved
through witnesses that his client had
never been out of sight In the West
End of London for more than twenty
minutes that day, and consequently
could not have journeyed to the city
and sold the Jewels.
But at the moment of his apparent
triumph a dealer In furs brought to
the opposing solicitors a Bank of
England note Indorsed by the plain
tiff. Its serial number fixed her guilt.
In spite of his carefully constructed
alibi, Sir Charles was compelled to
make the dramatic announcement to
the court that he could not proceed
with the case. The coincidence in
what follows Is especially striking
The young woman fled to Spain,
where there are no extradition laws.
Her husband and many of her friends
stood loyally by her. refusing to be
lieve her guilt. Loyally with them
transcended the evidence In the case.
