The suggestion is made that an "all-star all-<br />

American cabinet" be selected from among the great<br />

statesmen who have illumined United States history.<br />

It is supposed to represent the strongest administration<br />

since the government was<br />

AU-American formed. One suggestion places<br />

Ge<strong>org</strong>e Washington as President<br />

and Theodore Roosevelt as Vice-President. John Hay<br />

as Secretary of State. Alexander Hamilton, Secretary<br />

of the Treasury; Elihu Root, War; William C.<br />

Whitney, Navy; Franklin K. Lane, Interior; James<br />

Wilson, Agriculture; Herbert Hoover, Commerce;<br />

Roger B. Taney, Attorney General; Amos Kendall,<br />

Postmaster General. This should start a lively discussion.<br />

The originator of the idea wisely avoided<br />

controversy by f<strong>org</strong>etting the Labor Department.<br />

When we mentally look over the long line of distinguished<br />

men who have served the American<br />

people, we are curious how the conclusion was<br />

reached. Much as we consider Washington "first in<br />

War, first in Peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen"<br />

we do not think he compares with Lincoln and<br />

we would no more classify Roosevelt as all-star than<br />

we would the chronic user of the underslung pipe.<br />

Thomas Jefferson was more able. James G. Blaine<br />

was a far abler and more brilliant diplomat and<br />

statesman than Hay and many would rank him the<br />

best Secretary of State. Andrew W. Mellon, in our<br />

judgment, outclasses Hamilton in the Treasury and<br />

General U. S. Grant, who was Secretary of War ad<br />

interim under Johnson, or Edwin M. Stanton, a<br />

former Pittsburgh lawyer and Secretary of War<br />

under Lincoln, outranks Root, who is a great lawyer.<br />

We suppose W. C. Whitney was chosen for Secretary<br />

of the Navy because he advocated putting the United<br />

States on the map in a naval way. He was a wealthy<br />

man and a man of action but we prefer Gideon<br />

Welles who served under Lincoln. We are sorry<br />

John Paul Jones was not a Secretary of the Navy<br />

so we could rate him first. We have no opinion on<br />

Secretary of the Interior and are willing to accept<br />

James Wilson as Secretary of Agriculture as he was<br />

acceptable to three presidents, McKinley, Roosevelt<br />

and Taft. Hoover is all right as Secretary of Commerce<br />

but we beg to dispute Roger B. Taney as Attorney<br />

General. Jackson appointed him in 1831 and<br />

after two years made him Secretary of the Treasury<br />

but the Senate rejected him. Eighteen months .ater<br />

he made him an Associate Justice of the Supreme<br />

Court but the Senate did not act on the nomination.<br />

Then he made him Chief Justice when John Marshall<br />

died and he lived in history for his Dred Scott decision,<br />

which was based on politics and sectional<br />

prejudice. At any rate we much prefer P. C. Knox,<br />

of Pittsburgh, as the ablest and most brilliant. John<br />

Marshall was not eligible as he was never an attorney<br />

general but Chief Justice of the Supreme<br />

Court for the 34 most momentous years of the country's<br />

history. Amos Kendall was Jackson's Postmaster<br />

General for two years but he was principally<br />

noted for his membership in the turbulent Jackson's<br />

kitchen cabinet and for his ability as a politician in<br />

combatting such foes of his superior as Henry Clay,<br />

Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun. The job of<br />

Postmaster General is one of transportation, distribution<br />

and executive ability. John Wanamaker's<br />

long experience especially fitted him for the task.<br />

Inasmuch as we have had only two Secretaries of<br />

Labor and both are from Pennsylvania, William B.<br />

Wilson and James J. Davis, and of equal and similar<br />

Enterprise my and bring about tax reduction. The<br />

situation comes home to us when we<br />

find the president of the American Bankers Association<br />

advocating the location of new manufacturing<br />

establishments in small villages although he declares<br />

that he would not recommend the removal of established<br />

industries from urban to rural sections. The<br />

urge to secure larger and cheaper sites where<br />

modern manufacturing efficiency can be secured<br />

should not be overlooked. This banking official cites<br />

two instances of remarkable rural development.<br />

^•E .jy&g£ MmS<br />

Twelve years ago Kingsport, Tenn., had a population<br />

of about 1,000. Great industries like a famous<br />

camera company, a large cement company and a<br />

number of other industries were located there<br />

through the influence of an outstanding New York<br />

business man. In a little more than 12 years these<br />

H Ijrz*<br />

have brought the population of that city up to 17,000.<br />

Just a few miles away, at Elizabethton, a great rayon<br />

plant is being built, the first unit to cost $5,000,000.<br />

The population of that town is now 2,000 but it is<br />

estimated that this will be multiplied by five in less<br />

A<br />

than two years. It is stated that the total investment<br />

in manufacturing industry in that community<br />

within five years will probably reach $50,000,000.<br />

F a s h i o n A t T h e C r o s s R o a d s<br />

Winter furs and fabrics rub elbows with tlie hlrnu things<br />

of summer. New details add zest to tlie mid-season models.<br />

bu Blanche Sears Emerson<br />

W E no longer "settle down<br />

for the Winter," as our<br />

forebears were wont to do. Modern<br />

conveniences have made this<br />

old world a different place to live<br />

in, and something of the restlessness<br />

of conditions in general<br />

is reflected in our fashions. With<br />

the holidays over, or perhaps we<br />

should say the Christmas holidays<br />

over, our attention is directed<br />

North and South, as well<br />

as to our immediate surroundings,<br />

with the result that there<br />

are conflicting tendencies<br />

evinced in even the stay-at-home<br />

models. For some are seeking<br />

Summer frocks and their accessories—they<br />

must be in the<br />

mood of that season; others are<br />

seeking the warm wools and furs<br />

of out door Winter sports; and<br />

yet others are living out the<br />

Winter within the confines of<br />

the city, making wholly different<br />

demands on fashion.<br />

The latter group is, by far, the<br />

largest, and is, therefore, our<br />

first consideration. To them the<br />

Winter mode is still of interest,<br />

and for them it offers its variety<br />

and its luxury. As it stands at<br />

the present time it will be written<br />

down in the history of fashion,<br />

for designers have long since<br />

turned their attention to the<br />

needs and requirements of the<br />

Summer months. There will be<br />

no change in materials, colors or<br />

lines, so far as Winter fashions<br />

are concerned, though the midseason<br />

offerings will be touched<br />

with unusualities that are, in a<br />

sense, prophecies of what lies<br />

ahead. Before considering these<br />

prophecies it is well to review<br />

the high lights of the mode, for<br />

they show whither we are drifting.<br />

This may be said—the voyage<br />

bids fair to be pleasant!<br />

Whatever the component<br />

parts of this Winter mode, it is,<br />

in itself, a very definite step<br />

toward formality of the feminine<br />

sort. It would not be possible<br />

for it to take this step were<br />

it not for the fabrics, colors,<br />

lines and details that comprise<br />

it; for this reason they assume<br />

importance, and, in a lesser<br />

measure, for their own individuality<br />

and beauty. After all, it is<br />

the trend, rather than the reasons<br />

for that trend, that adds<br />

chapter after chapter to the<br />

style book of the centuries. And<br />

it has been many seasons since a<br />

chapter contained news as interesting<br />

as the one that is now<br />

being written. If we look back<br />

a bit, we can see that the way<br />

has been paved for a change;<br />

only after a full ten years' time<br />

has it finally been effected.<br />

We all know that the direct<br />

fashion result of the war was a<br />

mannishness, and later a boyishness,<br />

that was most inconsistent<br />

with the more mature type of<br />

woman. But as we look back we<br />

can see that as time passed fabrics<br />

grew softer and more supple<br />

; colors became more beautiful<br />

and important; and with<br />

every new season there were attempts—not<br />

always successful<br />

—to introduce more graceful<br />

lines, a break, so to speak, in<br />

rigid straightness. And this season<br />

we note a definite change.<br />

The mode can no longer be characterized<br />

as either mannish or<br />

boyish—it is feminine, and its<br />

femininity possesses a formality<br />

that is a distinct departure from<br />

the informality that was consistent<br />

with fashions ruled by the<br />

sports theme, or the rigidly<br />

strict tailleur.<br />

From the earliest hour of the<br />

day, whether the choice be<br />

sports or tailored things, severity<br />

gives way to softness. Materials,<br />

pliable and supple, are luxurious,<br />

even the tweeds and novelty<br />

mixtures possessing this<br />

characteristic. Satin and velvet<br />

or velveteen, the crepes and<br />

satin are used generously in<br />

these two groups, and to beauty<br />

of material the designer adds<br />

beauty and intricacy of line, and<br />

the softening touch of lace.<br />

Afternoon and evening attire<br />

make much of chiffon, Ge<strong>org</strong>ette<br />

and velvet; the metal brocades<br />

and laces, and fabrics with a bit<br />

more body to them, as satin and<br />

taffeta, for the bouffant models<br />

that are approved for evening<br />

wear. Ingenious and intricate in<br />

cut, a frock for wear after the<br />

noon hour possesses real formality.<br />

Rich materials call to their aid<br />

colors of like richness, and the<br />

ally of everything smart, black.<br />

There is a real rage for glittering<br />

things — embroideries on<br />

evening frocks; ornaments; and<br />

costume jewelry with crystals<br />

and rhinestones. Hats, bags,<br />

shoes and frocks feature this<br />

type of trimming, adding to the<br />

general luxury of the mode.<br />

Evening coats are heavy with<br />

fur and rich with brocades, when<br />

they are not of ermine, chinchilla<br />

or sable. Daytime coats have<br />

lavish fur bandings and their<br />

materials are of the finest. Over<br />

the entire mode lies the shadow<br />

of the ensemble, but it is a welcome<br />

shadow for it helps to bind<br />

parts together into a harmonious<br />

whole. A costume is no longer<br />

any better than its least correct<br />

and appropriate part.<br />

The Winter vacationist, bound<br />

North, is engaged in the pleasant<br />

business of assembling a wardrobe<br />

that will be smart, and at<br />

the same time possess elements<br />

of comfort. If she skees, she<br />

will have a suit appropriate, perhaps<br />

of the Norwegian type with<br />

long trousers and a belted tunic,<br />

Russian style. She will include<br />

in her outfit a circular skirt for<br />

skating and sports of that type,<br />

and there will be knickers to go<br />

under the skirt. The material of<br />

the latter will undoubtedly be<br />

velveteen, and there will be a<br />

leather jacket, with a lining of<br />

wool or fleece, to keep skirt and<br />

knickers company. Whatever the<br />

garment, it will button up tightly<br />

and fasten closely at throat<br />

and wrists, for there are certain<br />

to be spills in the snow, and they<br />

must be provided for.<br />

The ardent enthusiast of Winter<br />

sports knows the value of<br />

wool in her outfit—apart from<br />

leather and velveteen it is the<br />

one essential. She may prefer<br />

mittens of leather, fleece lined,<br />

to match her leather coat; but<br />

she will have wool gloves a-plenty<br />

in her outfit for a dozen purposes.<br />

She will not economize<br />

on sweaters of the shaker-knit<br />

variety, and will be divided in<br />

her allegiance to the button-up<br />

type and the type with the turtle<br />

neck. There will be wool socks<br />

of various weights, colors and<br />

types, ranging from ski-socks to<br />

golf socks; there will be a collection<br />

of gay sashes for the skiing<br />

suit and the other outfits; and<br />

there will be scarfs and little<br />

round caps that pull down over<br />

the ears. They will be chosen<br />

to harmonize, these wool accessories.<br />

The Winter vacationist, bound<br />

South, will face a different problem.<br />

It will be her privilege to<br />

dally with things wholly new,<br />

not in fabric, but in theme, for<br />

she is meeting the Northern<br />

Summer more than half way.<br />

Her frocks will be of the newest<br />

Summer materials; her hats will<br />

be of the most recently approved<br />

straws; and her sports togs will<br />

be for beach wear; or for the<br />

links or tennis courts. Her wardrobe<br />

will include evening gowns<br />

and evening wraps in new and<br />

untried models; and every accessory,<br />

from hat to shoes, will be<br />

in the spirit of Summer. From<br />

her wardrobe we can learn much<br />

as to the next-to-come mode, for<br />

she is having the first selection<br />

from the offerings of our foremost<br />

designers. Let us dally<br />

with the new things for a time.<br />

The new fabrics include some<br />

charming rayon and cotton<br />

weaves, and they are likely to<br />

prove popular. Handkerchief<br />

linen is being featured; there are<br />

silks very like the old "China"<br />

silks; and there are many new<br />

versions of the always-to-be-expected<br />

prints. Then there are<br />

sports togs done in Angora jersey—lovely<br />

stuff! There is every<br />

indication that the three-piece<br />

sports suit, made up of skirt,<br />

sleeveless jumper and short coat<br />

or jacket, will be popular. It is<br />

being shown in printed fabrics;<br />

in the cotton and rayon mixtures;<br />

in linen; and in wool.<br />

Then there are some charming<br />

frocks in silks of the habutai,<br />

rajah, pongee, tussah types.<br />

These materials proved their<br />

value last Summer and their return<br />

with Palm Beach fashions<br />

is not unexpected.<br />

One shop is showing some new<br />

bathing suits in an old material<br />

—jersey. They have brief trunks<br />

in a dark color and a top in some<br />

one of the pastel tones. Another<br />

feature of these suits is the<br />

decollete back—they are called<br />

"evening line" or "evening back"<br />

suits. There are some delightful<br />

pajama suits being shown—they<br />

always appear at this season of<br />

the year, their object beach<br />

wear. Our interest, at this time,<br />

is the new fabrics, colors and<br />

lines, rather than in beach ap-<br />

The Packard factories are busy to capacity—busier than ever before in nearly<br />

thirty years of fine motor car building and at a season of the year when activity<br />

is least expected. It is but good business for Packard to share its<br />

prosperity with those who buy its products. Therefore the new prices.<br />

There has been no change in quality. Each car is identical with those Packard<br />

has been building. The new prices continue to include complete custom<br />

equipment and unlimited paint and upholstery options costing hundreds of<br />

dollars extra on many other cars. This, together with today's price reductions,<br />

gives the Packard Eight an important first cost advantage.<br />

The lower prices make it possible for many additional thousands to step up<br />

to the possession of America's finest and most modern car.<br />

We shall be pleased to put this great car into your hands for a demonstration<br />

and in return ask only the privilege of telling you what your present car is<br />

worth in part payment. Any Packard may be purchased on our payment plan.<br />

JANE, and Katherine Lee,<br />

who will head the program<br />

of Keith-Albee vaudeville at the<br />

Davis Theatre for the week beginning<br />

January 9, are the biggest<br />

little stars in the stage<br />

world. These two young girls,<br />

recognized as the greatest juvenile<br />

stars, have appeared in<br />

many feature films and, with<br />

their own company, produced a<br />

series of Jane and Katherine Lee<br />

pictures. They are equally at<br />

home on the stage and before<br />

the camera, and their brief engagement<br />

in vaudeville will<br />

evoke much interest.<br />

Songs made while you wait is<br />

but a part of the unique act to<br />

be presented by Bob Hall, the<br />

"Extemporaneous Chap," who<br />

comes to the Davis next week.<br />

He makes poems and songs on<br />

every conceivable subject and<br />

does so while the audience is before<br />

him. His subjects are<br />

people "out front,'' chance sayings,<br />

and current topics of interest.<br />

"You'd Never Expect<br />

It," as Medley and Dupree have<br />

named their amusing act, keeps<br />

the audience chuckling, because<br />

nothing happens as you expect<br />

it to. The skit is full of surprises<br />

and laughs. Ed Janis and His<br />

New Eevue of 1928, another feature,<br />

is a miniature musical<br />

European Juggler, does amazing<br />

rubber balls.<br />

The photoplay offering will be<br />

fears, he meets with a dramatic<br />

death. The story is not all drab,<br />

however. Amusing comedy and<br />

lighter moments relieve the tension<br />

and turn tears to laughter.<br />

Supporting the three principal<br />

characters are: Wesley Barry,<br />

Russell Simpson, Donald Keith,<br />

In spite of giving human<br />

form, face and being to the<br />

Christ, in the person of H. B.<br />

Warner, nothing of reverence,<br />

dignity or truth has been sacrificed<br />

or trespassed upon. In picturing,<br />

for the first time in history,<br />

this moving pageant of a<br />

hallowed age, Mr. De Mille has<br />

brushed lightly but with well<br />

planned strokes, upon a doubtful<br />

canvas and achieved a purpose,<br />

that, in essentials, cannot be<br />

questioned.<br />

With infinite care the picture<br />

takes the audience through the<br />

coming, the crucifixion and the<br />

resurrection of the Saviour.<br />

Many of the scenes are careful<br />

color reproductions of great<br />

paintings and Jesus' short stay<br />

on earth is etched by a camera<br />

that bestows unexpected<br />

thought on angles, lights and<br />

colorings. Almost flawless technic<br />

marks the arrangement of<br />

materials are to be soft and supple,<br />

their manipulation to continue<br />

apparently, in the new<br />

mode.<br />

Hats intrigue us, for it will<br />

only be a matter of weeks before<br />

we will be seeking the relief of a<br />

straw, or at least a mid-season<br />

hat. There are all-straw hats<br />

and combinations of felt and<br />

straw, and there are fabric hats<br />

for travel—a jersey ensemble<br />

including a hat of felt cleverly<br />

trimmed with the jersey. The<br />

natural colored straws bid fair<br />

to achieve popularity, among<br />

them ballibuntl, baku and bangkok.<br />

Their trimmings are simple.<br />

Then the picture hat of hairis<br />

offered, and the medium or<br />

wide-brimmed hat of rough or<br />

shiny straw—these, of course,<br />

designed for Southern wear exclusively,<br />

until such time as<br />

Summer comes again to us here.<br />

MUSIC AND ART<br />

The next concert of the Yost<br />

String Quartet will be given on<br />

the evening of January 28 in the<br />

Hotel Schenley ball-room. A<br />

figures and scenes and the con­<br />

program of more than ordinary<br />

interest will include a first<br />

stant use of transcripts from the<br />

American performance of a<br />

Bible sets the story in a literary<br />

quintet for piano and strings by<br />

of old songs, with harp accompaniments<br />

by Mr. Caughey.<br />

In honor of Mrs. John Dickinson Sherman,<br />

president of the General Federation of<br />

Women's Clubs, trees are being planted all<br />

over the country by State federations, d'strict<br />

and county federations and individual<br />

club members. The idea originated with Miss<br />

Vida Newsom, of Columbus, Indiana, chairman<br />

of highways and memorial tree planting.<br />

The plan is specially appropriate as Mrs.<br />

Sherman, before becoming president of the<br />

General Federation of Women's Clubs, was<br />

known as "National Park Lady" on account<br />

TO-DAY, January 14, 1928,<br />

the citizens of Sewickley<br />

will gather in the High School<br />

to celebrate the one hundredth<br />

birthday of their oldest resident,<br />

John C. Anderson, of Centennial<br />

Avenue. The village of Sewickley<br />

has declared a half holiday<br />

in order that as many as possible<br />

may attend the celebration. A<br />

large bouquet of flowers will be<br />

presented to Mr. Anderson by<br />

the committee, headed by A. C.<br />

Walker and Gilbert Hays,<br />

which has arranged a program<br />

by prominent singers, an orchestra<br />

and a cartoonist. After the<br />

entertainment Mr. Anderson's<br />

sons and daughters will be his<br />

guests at dinner.<br />

Sewickley is proud of her oldest<br />

resident, who has been a<br />

good citizen for so many years.<br />

The name of John C. Anderson<br />

has been known to the community<br />

for four score years and<br />

links the happenings of a century<br />

ago with those of today.<br />

Mr. Anderson was born January<br />

14, 1828, in a red brick house in<br />

Leetsdale, which makes him the<br />

oldest resident of Sewickley Valley.<br />

At the age of nineteen he<br />

joined a group of three hundred<br />

men who went West with the<br />

Gold Rush. He was one of the<br />

famous "49'ers" who braved<br />

death for the lure of gold and<br />

adventure.<br />

West, they bought their supplies;<br />

mules, food and guns, for<br />

game and Indians. Mr. Anderson's<br />

fellow passengers were J.<br />

S., R. and W. Wilson, A. D. Wilson,<br />

J. Hughes, R. K. Petrowski,<br />

A. Ingram, William C. and<br />

James Meredith. Five men composed<br />

what was termed a<br />

"mess." Mr. Anderson says that<br />

his was called a "double mess."<br />

Each "mess" had a leader. As<br />

leader of his "mess" he displayed<br />

the courage of his noted<br />

ffi'st-cousin, Buffalo-Bill.<br />

sign of their Chief, they turned<br />

and rode into the sunset, disappearing<br />

over the rim of the horizon,<br />

going as mysteriously as<br />

they had come.<br />

The Easterners went on safely<br />

through the mountains and<br />

arrived at Hangtown, now Placerville,<br />

forty-five miles from<br />

Sacramento, California. Here<br />

Their most dangerous adventure<br />

on the plains was an encounter<br />

with two thousand<br />

Sioux Indians. In the valley of<br />

the North Platte River they saw<br />

a cloud of dust which proved to<br />

be Red Skins that had been in<br />

Mr. Anderson worked in a gold<br />

mine. He reports that his best<br />

findings in a single day, amounted<br />

to one hundred and thirtyfive<br />

dollars. Two months later<br />

he moved to Sacramento City<br />

where he dealt successfully in<br />

live-stock. But two years was<br />

enough and he came back to his<br />

home in the East and settled in<br />

H T h e C o a t Fits!<br />

There is a faslaion lor evervj hour of tlie dau.<br />

There cfre appropriate details tor everij fashion.<br />

bu Blanche Sears Emerson<br />

T H E old adage that advised<br />

us so sagely—"If the coat<br />

fits, put it on," was not thinking<br />

of fashion. But it is a truth<br />

that should be considered in respect<br />

to our appareling, if we<br />

would be properly groomed and<br />

clad. And it has to do, not with<br />

the fit of the coat alone, but of<br />

every garment that we wear. It<br />

has to do with appropriateness,<br />

as well as fit. It is a comprehensive<br />

rule, but its very breadth<br />

makes it important. Let us see!<br />

Every woman who is interested<br />

in dress is interested in finding<br />

the one frock, or suit, or hat<br />

that is, for her, the most appropriate.<br />

And that means becomingness<br />

to the woman herself,<br />

and correctness to place and occasion.<br />

And trite as it may<br />

seem, it always seems to center<br />

around the problem of size, first<br />

of all.<br />

There are so very many fashions,<br />

the major portion of which<br />

may be worn by the woman who<br />

is slender. But the choice of a<br />

garment is limited by so many<br />

fashions, the major portion of<br />

which may be worn by the woman<br />

who is slender. But the choice<br />

of a garment is limited by so<br />

many "Don'ts," when a woman<br />

is large, that a general discussion<br />

is bound to dwell upon<br />

them. Yet—the slender woman<br />

can make fatal mistakes in spite<br />

of her breadth of choice. There<br />

are "coats" that do not fit her<br />

any more than they fit the<br />

woman of ample proportions.<br />

And we have to decide so many<br />

things! Lines, materials and<br />

colors for our suits and frocks<br />

and coats; height of crown and<br />

width of brim and color for outhats;<br />

the width of the last and<br />

the shape of the toe and the<br />

type of model for our shoes; the<br />

length of our necklace, the<br />

stones and the color; these are<br />

but a few of the problems that<br />

we have to solve.<br />

Then—there is the relation of<br />

each part of the whole—the<br />

most important decision in the<br />

group of many decisions. In<br />

spite of its having been said<br />

many times, we say it again—<br />

no costume should meet the gaze<br />

of the public until it has been<br />

studied, front, back and sides,<br />

before a full-length mirror, and<br />

a three-way mirror, if possible.<br />

Many a woman's day has been<br />

completely ruined by a chance<br />

glimpse of herself at an angle<br />

she has not, hitherto, considered.<br />

Our fashions are too radical<br />

to be carelessly chosen; they<br />

demand careful study. Assuming<br />

that the corset has been<br />

carefully and expertly fitted, we<br />

proceed to lines, materials and<br />

colors—the background of every<br />

mode.<br />

The old rule of color has been<br />

somewhat modified. True, we<br />

know that the butterfly is<br />

clothed in brilliance, and the<br />

humming-bird, as well. We<br />

know, too, that when nature<br />

clothed the elephant, the color<br />

choice was taupe. But we have<br />

been the subjects of experimentation<br />

through a succession of<br />

seasons, and that experimentation<br />

has resulted in a new attitude<br />

toward color. Skilfully and<br />

judiciously used, it is made an<br />

accent in the costume of the<br />

woman who wears a forty-eight<br />

size. Then, too, she has the aid<br />

of accessories, which may provide<br />

the color. Every woman,<br />

whether slender or plump, must<br />

watch her colors. They are not<br />

the same in daylight and under<br />

artificial light; even two articles<br />

that seem to match in the sunshine<br />

become very bad friends<br />

when the lamps are lighted.<br />

Fabrics are soft and pliable,<br />

and this characteristic benefits<br />

us all. But the large woman<br />

should avoid shiny surfaces and<br />

stiffness of material—for her<br />

the reverse of the crepe-backed<br />

satin, but trimmed with the<br />

satin side. Dull crepes and silks<br />

that show a surface that is not<br />

shiny; allover patterns in a<br />

small design, and any boldness<br />

cleverly veiled; lines of color,<br />

running in the right direction;<br />

the large woman should follow<br />

these three rules. The slender<br />

woman can wear taffetas and<br />

satins and moire silks. For her<br />

there is beauty in the robe de<br />

style and the bustle frock. She<br />

need not worry about patterns,<br />

unless she is very thin—then<br />

stripes should not run up and<br />

down—there should be a deal of<br />

attention given to striped materials<br />

by us all—they're dangerous.<br />

For the large woman—broken<br />

lines, and nothing that runs<br />

round and round. Straight and<br />

parallel vertical lines; corners;<br />

points and triangles are the prerogative<br />

of the large woman. In<br />

the same general ruling—rings,<br />

spots, curves, circles and scallops<br />

are not for her—she provides<br />

all the roundness necessary.<br />

There are many slenderizing<br />

features in the new mode.<br />

among them side draperies and<br />

the uneven hemline. The round<br />

and the bateau neckline are for<br />

the slender woman, the pointed<br />

neckline for the large woman.<br />

The latter should avoid large collars<br />

and deep yokes; too low a<br />

hipline; half-length sleeves—<br />

they're not in fashion, anyway;<br />

the wide sleeve and the wide<br />

armhole; and the conspicuous<br />

color contrasts. She can take<br />

pounds from her appearance<br />

with the correct neckline.<br />

Many women ruin their entire<br />

costume with the wrong hat<br />

line, even when the hat itself is<br />

correct in fabric, type and color.<br />

Some begin that ruin with the<br />

way they wear their hair, for it<br />

shapes, or should shape, the<br />

head. No matter what your personal<br />

attitude toward short hair<br />

may be, it is of the utmost fashion<br />

significance. A thorough tryout<br />

has convinced many that it<br />

is comfortable, becoming and in<br />

every way desirable. Others<br />

have found it unbecoming and<br />

have returned, or are returning,<br />

to long hair again. But this fact<br />

has been established—there may<br />

be no coils of hair in the neck;<br />

on top of the head; or wound<br />

around it. The long hair coiffure<br />

must imitate short hair and<br />

achieve shapeliness through the<br />

coiffure. Hats are designed for<br />

short-haired heads—there are<br />

few large head sizes.<br />

Every woman should keep<br />

working at the problem of a becoming<br />

coiffure or cut. It is<br />

worth the time and labor expended<br />

to feel that the hair<br />

frames the face correctly, and<br />

gives the proper neckline. The<br />

hat should take the shape of the<br />

face into consideration; the line<br />

and the breadth of the shoul­<br />

ders ; the general lines of the figure.<br />

It should be remembered<br />

that the height, breadth and<br />

thickness of the crown is important—you<br />

will be amazed, if<br />

you focus your attention on that<br />

one feature of your hat, to find<br />

that the crown can ruin your entire<br />

costume. The brim has the<br />

same power. The woman who<br />

wears glasses must have a brim,<br />

and it must not turn away from<br />

the face. Until you are very<br />

sure that it becomes you, beware<br />

the brimless hat. To wear it<br />

you must have a lovely profile.<br />

You should always keep in<br />

mind the fact that you can add<br />

pounds to your figure or take<br />

pounds away; add years to your<br />

appearance or take years away;<br />

soften ugly features or make<br />

FROM February 9 to March<br />

10 is the time announced<br />

for the annual exhibition of the<br />

Associated Artists of Pittsburgh,<br />

in the galleries of Carnegie<br />

Institute. The jury chosen<br />

this year includes Hayley Lever,<br />

of New York; John Hopkins, of<br />

Columbus, and Richard Harding<br />

of Philadelphia. They will come<br />

to Pittsburgh January 28 to<br />

judge the pictures submitted by<br />

members of the Associated Artists,<br />

five years of study in Paris, has<br />

returned to his native town to<br />

open a studio at his home in<br />

NORMAN FRAUENHEIM<br />

Snapped during a holiday at Sorrento,<br />

Italy.<br />

Marlborough Street and take a<br />

place among the leading pianists<br />

of Pittsburgh. A pupil of<br />

Lazare-Levy in Paris, with intermittent<br />

coaching with Paderewski,<br />

Mr. Frauenheim, it would<br />

seem from London and Continental<br />

newspapers, made an excellent<br />

impression when ever he<br />

played abroad. After his Paris<br />

debut he was hailed by "Figaro"<br />

as a "virtuoso of surpassingbrilliance"<br />

and the "Guide de<br />

Concert" commented on his "remarkable<br />

erudition united to an<br />

impeccable taste." Following a<br />

specially requested recital, given<br />

at the palace in Madrid for the<br />

Infanta Isabella, Queen regent<br />

of Spain and aunt of King Al-<br />

phonso, the "A. B. C." of Madrid<br />

signalized h i s distinguished<br />

playing of Chopin. Mr. Frauenheim<br />

appeared several times in<br />

London, where he was heard<br />

with orchestras, playing in Wigmore<br />

and Grotian Halls. He also<br />

played in the English provinces.<br />

His first London appearance, in<br />

1925, was under the auspices of<br />

the Marchioness of Carisbrooke<br />

and the Prince of Belgium. In<br />

November of 1927 he played at a<br />

reception given in his honor by<br />

Lady Winifred Elwes and the<br />

Marchioness of Butte. Of Mr.<br />

Frauenheim the London Observer<br />

had this to say: "technique<br />

from A to Z—imagination—sensitive<br />

fingers," and the London<br />

"Times" spoke of his great technique<br />

T H E S T A G E A N D S C R E E N<br />

ANOTHER musical extravaganza<br />

for the Nixon Theatre.<br />

Hassard Short will present<br />

his all-star musical comedy,<br />

"One Sunny Day'' there for one<br />

week only, beginning Monday,<br />

January 16.<br />

It is a rollicking comedy, full<br />

of humor and wit, dancing and<br />

singing, with a chorus of more<br />

than a hundred beauties.<br />

One of the biggest and most<br />

dazzling collection of stars ever<br />

assembled, heads this cast and<br />

includes among others, Frank<br />

Mclntyre, Lynne 0 v e r m a n,<br />

Jeanette MacDonald, Billy B.<br />

Van, Carl Randall. Rosalie<br />

Claire, Audrey Maple, Margie<br />

Finley, Maurice Holland, Peggy<br />

Cornell, Evangeline Raleigh, Bob<br />

Lively, Sidney Hawkins and<br />

Peggy Dolan.<br />

The comedy is based on the<br />

French farce that pleased Paris<br />

for many months, "Mile. Montmarte,"<br />

written by Maurice Hennequin<br />

and adapted by Clifford<br />

Grey and William Cary Duncan.<br />

The lyrics are by the same two,<br />

the music by Jean Schwartz<br />

with additional numbers by<br />

Eleanor Dunsmuir. The dances<br />

were arranged by Earl Lindsay,<br />

the book staged by Marcel Varnel<br />

and the settings are by Watson<br />

Barratt.<br />

Now it seems there is a nice<br />

little dancer, her name is Ginette<br />

and she dances at the Cafe La-<br />

Rouge in the Latin Quarter. She<br />

has many suitors, but the<br />

favored one is Lucien, who. is<br />

going to marry Ginette after his<br />

book, which is to be a dramatic,<br />

thrilling tale, telling of Ginette's<br />

rise from nothing to something,<br />

is published and Lucien is loaded<br />

down with francs. But Ginette<br />

has been very friendly with<br />

Monsieur Leon Lambert, head of<br />

the banking firm bearing his<br />

name, and word reaches Lucien<br />

that their friendly relations are<br />

not all they should be. Lucien,<br />

quite disturbed, goes to Ginette<br />

and asks her to give him an explanation<br />

which Ginette obligingly<br />

does. The explanation is<br />

worse than the condition, and<br />

for three acts, a much misunderstood<br />

Ginette tries to keep the<br />

situation from getting out of<br />

control and losing her Lucien.<br />

DAVIS<br />

The Younger Foys, sons and<br />

daughters of the famous comedian,<br />

Eddie Foy, will entertain<br />

Davis Theatre audiences for the<br />

week beginning Monday afternoon,<br />

January 16. The screen<br />

feature for the week will be "The<br />

Spotlight," with Esther Ralston<br />

in the leading role. Following<br />

closely upon the appearance of<br />

the elder Foy at the same theatre,<br />

the Young Foys come to<br />

present a variety of Foyism. For<br />

a while the children appeared<br />

with the father in vaudeville,<br />

then one became a song and<br />

scenario writer. The remaining<br />

six are still a vaudeville unit.<br />

They give imitations, songs,<br />

dances and a miscellaneous assortment<br />

of laughs.<br />

MARY FOY<br />

With "The Younger Foys," who come<br />

to the Davis Theatre next week.<br />

Guy and Pearl Magley have<br />

surrounded themselves with the<br />

Strumming Serenaders and the<br />

dancing Melvin Sisters, who will<br />

appear in next week's bill. The<br />

Yacopi Troupe, eight super<br />

equilibrists, will offer a sequence<br />

of thrilling feats, one of which<br />

is a triple somersault in the air<br />

from a springboard. Rose and<br />

Thorne will introduce a novel<br />

vaudeville idea in their act<br />

"Sold," dealing with a refined<br />

Swedish girl who has just inherited<br />

a fortune; a group of<br />

songs will be presented by Rosalind<br />

Ruby and Al Gordon's Comedy<br />

Canines will amuse adults<br />

and children alike.<br />

"The Spotlight," a screen<br />

story of life behind the footlights,<br />

will be shown throughout<br />

the week, together with News<br />

Reels and Topics of the Day.<br />

GRAND<br />

Robert Nalle Thompson, former<br />

concertmaster with the Boston<br />

Opera Company; Leighton<br />

Cook and Helene Arden, opera<br />

singers, and Jeanne Angelo, concert<br />

cellist, will come to the<br />

Grand for the stage part of the<br />

program during the week of<br />

January 16. They are known as<br />

the Four Symphonists and present<br />

a program of vocal and instrumental<br />

music composed of<br />

operatic, semi-classic and popular<br />

numbers. An additional feature<br />

will be the Six Dixie<br />

Daisies, who will contribute a<br />

program of jazz numbers, intermingled<br />

with eccentric stepping<br />

and popular songs.<br />

The screen attraction announced<br />

for the week is Milton<br />

Sills in "The Valley of the<br />

Giants," a story of the Redwoods<br />

of California. Doris Kenyon is<br />

featured. It is a picturization<br />

of Peter B. Kyne's great romance<br />

of the Big Trees and has<br />

as a background the colorful<br />

lumber industry. Miss Kenyon<br />

is ideally cast as the sweetheart<br />

of Cardigan, played by Sills.<br />

PITTSBURGH will have the Neri, in Spain by Margaret Pal­<br />

distinction of being the mer, and in Germany by Dr.<br />

of the quintet for Gaudens, the Director of Fine<br />

piano and strings by Arnold Arts, will sail for Europe in<br />

Yost String Quartet plays in the the exhibition.<br />

Hotel Schenley ball-room Saturday<br />

evening, January 28. Pas- An exhibition of American<br />

quale Tallarico, pianist, of Baltimore,<br />

will be the guest artist.<br />

Arnold Bax has written a prodigious<br />

number of works for orchestra,<br />

piano, chorus and chamber<br />

music combinations. He<br />

studied composition in the Royal<br />

Academy of Music, London, under<br />

Frederick Corder and piano<br />

under Tobias Matthay. He now<br />

lives in London. The music of<br />

Bax might be labeled of the Neo-<br />

Romantic school and his works<br />

reflect one of the most spontaneously<br />

musical creative talents<br />

among contemporary composers.<br />

Other items of interest<br />

on the program will be a quartet,<br />

Op. 18, No. 2 by Beethoven<br />

and a group of small numbers<br />

by Tschaikowsky, Mendelssohn,<br />

Foster and Bridge. The members<br />

of the Yost Quartet are: Gaylord<br />

Yost, first violin; Roy Shumaker,<br />

second violin; Carl Rosenberg,<br />

viola, and James Younger,<br />

'cello.<br />

Plans for the Twenty-seventh<br />

Carnegie Institute International<br />

are already well under way. The<br />

exhibition will open Thursday,<br />

October 18, and will continue<br />

through December 10. Immediately<br />

thereafter the European<br />

paintings in the exhibition will<br />

be shown at the Cleveland Museum<br />

of Art and at the Art Institute<br />

of Chicago.<br />

The general plan of the exhibition<br />

will be the same as that followed<br />

in the Twenty-sixth International.<br />

An entirely different<br />

group of artists, including none<br />

of those invited to send to the<br />

last show, will be selected and,<br />

as in the Twenty-sixth International,<br />

each exhibitor will send a<br />

group of from three to five canvases.<br />

The total number of<br />

paintings in the exhibition will<br />

be practically the same as last<br />

year.<br />

Guillaume Lerolle, European<br />

representative of the Department<br />

of Fine Arts, will begin<br />

very shortly to visit artists. In<br />

Italy he will be assisted by Ilario<br />

sculpture and a collection of<br />

modern drawings went on display<br />

at Carnegie Institute Wednesday.<br />

The sculpture exhibition<br />

comprises almost one hundred<br />

pieces, most of which are<br />

bronzes. It was assembled by<br />

the Associated Dealers in American<br />

Paintings. The list of sculptors<br />

includes Robert Aitken,<br />

others. The majority of the<br />

sculptures in the show are small<br />

bronzes, although there are<br />

works in other mediums. Included<br />

among the larger works<br />

is a bust of "Thomas Jefferson"<br />

by Robert Aitken; "Standing<br />

There are three small bronzes<br />

by Max Kalish, showing that<br />

sculptor's skill at interpreting<br />

the working man of this country.<br />

They are "The Electric<br />

Riveter," "Woodsman" and<br />

"American Steel Worker." Max<br />

Kalish, born in Poland in 1891,<br />

was a pupil of Matzen and<br />

Adams. He was awarded the<br />

First Prize for Sculpture at the<br />

Cleveland Museum of Art in 1924<br />

and 1925. Kalish's studies of<br />

the laboring man are well-known<br />

for their rugged strength and<br />

vigor. His work has been compared<br />

to that of Rodin. Fifteen<br />

small bronzes by Arthur B.<br />

Davies form an interesting part<br />

of the show. Davies is better<br />

known as a painter, having exhibited<br />

in many Carnegie International<br />

Exhibitions. He was<br />

awarded First Prize in the<br />

Twenty-second International in<br />

1923. There are nineteen bronzes<br />

by Chester Beach in the exhibition.<br />

Harriet Frishmuth, one of the<br />

best known American women<br />

sculptors, shows two fountain<br />

figures, "Call of the Sea," and<br />

"Joy of the Waters." Paul Man-<br />

ship is exhibiting a bronze entitled<br />

"Indian Runner." The<br />

original of this statue is located<br />

in St. Paul, Minnesota.<br />

The collection of modern<br />

drawings is lent by Mr. and Mrs.<br />

A. C. Goodyear, of Buffalo. The<br />

artists represented are: Ge<strong>org</strong>e<br />

Bellows, Augustus John, Henri<br />

Matisse, Dunoyer de Segonzac,<br />

Maurice Sterne, Charles Despiau,<br />

Rockwell Kent and Aristide<br />

Malliol. The drawings are<br />

in several different mediums, including<br />

pen and ink, crayon,<br />

charcoal, pencil, red crayon and<br />

These two exhibitions will<br />

continue in the Carnegie Galleries<br />

through February 26.<br />

M O N D A Y night, January 23,<br />

will bring "Africana," the<br />

Negro revue, which has had<br />

such a highly successful run of<br />

six months on Broadway and<br />

four weeks in Philadelphia, to<br />

the Nixon Theatre, for one week<br />

only, with matinees Wednesday<br />

and Saturday. The star of the<br />

revue is Ethel Waters, one of the<br />

great musical comedy stars of<br />

her time. A comedienne of engaging<br />

presence, high resource,<br />

unforced gayety and a way of<br />

standing detached and quietly<br />

beyond her material that is irresistible.<br />

Richard Watts, Jr., in the<br />

New York Herald Tribune, said<br />

of Ethel Waters, "To my mind<br />

she is easily the superior of Beatrice<br />

Lillie or Raquel Meller,<br />

those two most admired of musical<br />

performers." Ashton Stevens,<br />

said, "Ethel Waters is the finest<br />

artist of her race and generation."<br />

The Wau. It Looks To Her<br />

because she is sensible of her<br />

limitations in this respect.<br />

A woman looks upon her motor<br />

car as a sort of servant. It<br />

does her bidding and is a convenience<br />

beyond words. But find<br />

me the woman who likes to be<br />

passed on a hill! Then you have<br />

found a prodigy. Find me the<br />

woman who prides herself on her<br />

car's get-a-way or the hill-climbing<br />

qualities who does not know<br />

that her motor is responsible for<br />

this! Then say that appearance<br />

is the only thing that counts!<br />

Attempt to sell a woman a car<br />

without explaining to her the results<br />

of mechanical perfection,<br />

even though she may not rightly<br />

understand the "why" of that<br />

perfection. Results, not causes,<br />

interest her, and in this she does<br />

not differ, except by reputation,<br />

from hundreds of the sterner<br />

sex who are supposed to know<br />

because they are that sex!<br />

Given two cars with the same<br />

mechanical perfection; the one<br />

with lines that are beautiful; artistry<br />

in its color and the application<br />

of it, attractive fittings<br />

and comfortable upholstery; the<br />

other in the manner of twenty<br />

years ago; and would the masculine<br />

choice differ from the feminine<br />

choice? When the proud<br />

owner of a brand new car displays<br />

it to his friends does he<br />

point out the excellencies of the<br />

motor and forego any mention<br />

of lines and colors and appointments?<br />

Does he speak of its<br />

economy of operation and its<br />

speed and its get-away, and<br />

never once tell you to step inside<br />

and see how comfortable are its<br />

seats; how luxurious its whole<br />

interior? There is only a single<br />

answer to all of these queries—<br />

for He is quite as luxury-loving<br />

as She!<br />

The evolution of the automobile<br />

owes its mechanical efficiency<br />

to the genius of men interested<br />

in machinery. It owes all<br />

the niceties of fit and finish to<br />

the aesthetic qualities of the<br />

feminine drivers who would, no<br />

doubt, revolutionize the appearance<br />

of a tractor in the same<br />

way, if they were concerned<br />

with tractors! When a man<br />

brags a bit because his steeringwheel<br />

turns easily and his car<br />

handles in an ultra-satisfactory<br />

way he is paying an unconscious<br />

tribute to the very feminine influence<br />

that he scorns. Manufacturers<br />

admit the importance<br />

of the woman driver in their<br />

plans for new and acceptable<br />

models, and they are keen to the<br />

reaction of the motorists to any<br />

innovation long before they<br />

sense what the motorist has to<br />

say about it.<br />

Feminine fashions are growing<br />

luxurious and we may expect<br />

the same trend in all things pertaining<br />

to womankind. Laborsaving<br />

machinery is becoming<br />

more efficient with every passing<br />

day. A new line of cars—in any<br />

make—is advertised, with an increase<br />

of power stressed. The<br />

completeness and efficiency of<br />

equipment is listed to pique your<br />

interest. And quite as much<br />

space is given up to a description<br />

of the harmony of line and color,<br />

which is, by the way, growing<br />

brighter with every new season,<br />

as to power and equipment. The<br />

manufacturer, and, subsequently,<br />

the dealer, dwells at length<br />

upon the quality of the upholstery<br />

fabric; the hardware; the<br />

trim; everything that makes<br />

either the exterior or the interior<br />

more pleasing. It takes<br />

them all to make a perfect "job."<br />

Milady, wrapped in her silks<br />

and velvets and furs, and bound<br />

for a formal affair that demands<br />

her smartest appearance, will<br />

drive or be driven to the appointed<br />

place. Her car must be<br />

a proper setting for her ele­<br />

gance, and must convey her<br />

swiftly there. It is, in a sense,<br />

a room on wheels. Again she<br />

journeys into the country or<br />

across it, as the case may be.<br />

The success of her journey depends<br />

upon the ease of riding<br />

that her motor car offers, and<br />

that comfort is increased by<br />

roominess and convenient fit­<br />

tings conveniently placed. As<br />

well replace one's overstuffed<br />

furniture and easy chairs with<br />

straight-backed pieces; the convenient<br />

tables and stands and<br />

lamps with corner whatnots; as<br />

take from our automobiles the<br />

pleasant conveniences that the<br />

makers now provide.<br />

The obvious conclusion, then,<br />

is this—The woman motorist demands<br />

a car that presents a<br />

smart appearance, and she is insistent<br />

in that demand. But she<br />

is quite as insistent as to the<br />

car's performance, which means<br />

an all-round excellence designed<br />

to stimulate progress in this<br />

leading industry of ours. The<br />

man motorist profits by every<br />

improvement, scorning some of<br />

the details as feminine, yet bearing<br />

up wonderfully under the<br />

imposition put upon him! For<br />

he knows, in his heart of hearts,<br />

that many of the easy-driving<br />

qualities of his car are the result<br />

of that self-same influence,<br />

which will grow increasingly<br />

powerful as the army of women<br />

drivers increases. After all—it<br />

takes all kinds to make a world,<br />

or a motor car!<br />

the Allegheny County Court decision that a<br />

symphony concert on Sunday does not violate public<br />

decency and does not shatter the spirit of those who<br />

a century ago inflicted us with so-called<br />

Sunday Blue Laws, which politicians for generations<br />

since have not dared to modernize.<br />

It is a miserable minority in the community which<br />

could take exception to a splendidly arranged musical<br />

offering. It does not disturb church meetings<br />

or draw from their attendance. It may, however,<br />

help to build among the people a love for the refined<br />

and make less popular the haunts which gather so<br />

many on Sundays. One pathetic thing in Pittsburgh<br />

is the absence of amusements and orderly entertainments<br />

which will give the working classes real recreation.<br />

There is nothing for the workman to do but<br />

loaf. Speakeasies thrive and are alluring. Blue<br />

laws long have stood as a bar to the working classes.<br />

Nothing is more dreaded by many than a Sunday in<br />

Pittsburgh. Happily, and we fear temporarily, this<br />

situation has been solved so far as orchestral concerts<br />

are concerned. The danger is that an effort<br />

will be to go much farther and make Sunday just<br />

like any other day in the week. We would regret to<br />

see that. Six days are hard enough without adding<br />

a seventh just like them. When the <strong>org</strong>an concerts<br />

in Allegheny and Schenley music halls were started<br />

there was a howl of dismay from some who felt mat<br />

drawn shades in the homes, cold meals, terrible music<br />

in the churches and all of the gloomy characteristcs<br />

of Puritanism should be the Sunday lot of Pittsburghers.<br />

The <strong>org</strong>an recitals did no harm. Nor did<br />

the art galleries, museum and lectures. The radio<br />

has modernized the community somewhat and ministers<br />

of the gospel have not been loth to use it. If we<br />

are just a bit conservative in breaking down the<br />

things which our mothers believed to be eminently<br />

correct we will be all right.<br />

Airports which will encourage commercial aviation<br />

on an adequate scale are so badly needed in Pittsburgh<br />

that we cannot too forcibly urge action. The<br />

topography of the district is such that fields of sufficient<br />

extent to permit safe landings are<br />

Airports hard to find. Important mail and commercial<br />

air routes depend upon the<br />

facilities provided. The longer we delay coming to<br />

a decision the more we lose in the establishment of<br />

vital cross country lines. We have bemoaned our<br />

lack of vision with respect to the automobile and we<br />

regret that we did not become the center of manufacturing<br />

for this important form of transportation.<br />

We are now face> to face with a similar situation.<br />

The airplane will take its place as a fast growingmeans<br />

of transit just as did the automobile. We<br />

should be an airplane manufacturing center as we<br />

now are a liberal provider of the component parts<br />

of the best machines. We make the aluminum for<br />

the bodies and the propellers. Our only hope in<br />

attracting and retaining such an industry is to place<br />

at the disposal of aviators and airplane builders<br />

great air fields with sufficient room for the necessary<br />

hangars and machine shops. It may . shock<br />

many if some of our public parks are used for such<br />

purposes but we can conceive of no better use. The<br />

force economies in permanent payrolls. Efficiency is<br />

not one of the besetting sins in public life. The<br />

great opportunity for waste lies where expensive improvements<br />

are projected. It is easy to spend money<br />

suggestion from a technical standpoint but lc is<br />

worth considering and the public should brace itself<br />

for some such use. Schenley oval has also been<br />

suggested. If it could be used for landing and<br />

launching, why not. We need an airport close to<br />

the business section and we should provide it. Pittsburgh<br />

has a splendid committee working on the problem<br />

and we believe its members are impressed with<br />

the importance of speed in selection as well as wisdom.<br />

The main thing is to establish an airport for<br />

Pittsburgh that will be recognized by aviators,<br />

postal, military and commercial, as adequate, safe<br />

and convenient.<br />

Taxpayers of Allegheny County are torn between<br />

conflicting emotions. They are groaning under increasing<br />

taxes and yet they feel that long delayed<br />

public improvements to give the community ample<br />

opportunity to expand should be made. It<br />

Taxes requires great discretion on the part of<br />

public officials to strike that happy medium<br />

which will permit the city and county to grow and<br />

at the same time satisfy those compelled to pay the<br />

bills. The danger is that vital industries which reach<br />

the point where essential rebuilding operations are<br />

to be made will flee to other districts where conditions<br />

are more favorable. This is no time for reedless<br />

public works. In fact no time is but often, due<br />

to the urgent demands of various communities, improvements<br />

in no wise vital are made to satisfy.<br />

We are at the point where economy in public affairs<br />

should be seriously considered. Taxes are high. In<br />

fact it is admitted that some industrial operations<br />

have found it better to leave. It is difficult to en­<br />

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon again has sounded<br />

the warning that if Federal taxes are reduced to<br />

a greater extent by Congress than he and his subordinate<br />

experts have advised the country is liable to<br />

regret it. In other words, he has reeom-<br />

Patriots mended a reduction which he believes is<br />

all that the probable revenues and expected<br />

expenses will permit after a most exhaustive<br />

survey of prospects through the best possible experience.<br />

Any sensible body of men with the real<br />

interest of the country at heart would heed the advice<br />

of a public official who has so forcibly demonstrated<br />

his wisdom and ability as has Mr. Mellon and<br />

would leave the situation that if there was any error<br />

in judgment it would be that of the Secretary. Mr.<br />

Mellon has pointed out that if certain taxes are reduced<br />

it will be almost impossible to restore them<br />

and that any resulting deficit involving unexpected<br />

tax increases would seriously disturb business<br />

is the answer of these patriots sent to Washington<br />

for their country's good? They proceed to flood<br />

the country in their effort to deceive the people for<br />

political purposes with the silliest misinfor,<br />

about the benefits supposed to be derived from the<br />

tariff by one of the companies in which it is believed<br />

Mr. Mellon is a stockholder. Time, of course,<br />

will prove who is right but the tragedy of it all is<br />

many innocent persons and industries are hurt because<br />

a crowd of farmers, who have done their best<br />

to leave their farms, make a great noise in the national<br />

capitol trying to make the people believe they<br />

are wise men, real financiers and true patriots.

A number of changes have been made in<br />

the calendar for the Woman's Club of Sewickley<br />

Valley. Miss Maude Royden, who was to<br />

have spoken on "Psychology and Religion"<br />

February thirteenth, will be heard February<br />

sixth; the Department of Education will present<br />

Roswell Johnson, of the University of<br />

Pittsburgh, in "Changing Russia" February<br />

thirteenth in place of February sixth and<br />

Miss Maud Scheerer will be heard in a dramatic<br />

recital February twentieth, for which<br />

no attraction had been engaged. This coming<br />

Monday will bring two performances of<br />

the Junior play, one in the afternoon and the<br />

other in the evening, in the Edgeworth Club,<br />

for the benefit of the scholarship fund.<br />

The most important change made in the<br />

regulations is that the number of prizes to<br />

be awarded to groups for the best production<br />

of a one-act play will be increased to five, but<br />

there will be no awards made for individual<br />

acting. The first prize will consist of one<br />

hundred dollars and the Samuel French trophy,<br />

which is now in the possession of The<br />

Puppets of Pittsburgh. The trophy will re­<br />

main in the hands of the winning group for<br />

one year, when it will again be competed for,<br />

l.ecoming the permanent possession of the<br />

group which succeeds in winning it three<br />

times. Other prizes to be awarded will be:<br />

Fifty dollars, thirty-five dollars, twenty-five<br />

dollars and fifteen dollars. Plays will be<br />

judged for interpretation, acting, choice of<br />

play, speech, and staging.<br />

The contesting groups may use the settings<br />

furnished by the committee or bring<br />

their own settings and properties. The contest<br />

will be open to any non-professional<br />

<strong>org</strong>anization in any city. A non-professional<br />

actor is defined as one who does not now<br />

make acting his vocation; this does not exclude<br />

ex-professional actors, but they must<br />

have been out of the profession for at least<br />

a ,\ear before the contest. A paid director<br />

does not come within the restriction mentioned,<br />

provided he does not act in the play.<br />

Registrations must be sent before March<br />

first to Mrs. Lane Thompson, who urges that<br />

requests be sent in early because the number<br />

of entrants will be limited to sixteen. J.<br />

Benedict is business manager of the Contest<br />

Committee, and Lane Thompson stage director.<br />

statesman, with all the stage<br />

properties of lace stock, waistcoat,<br />

and pigtail. It might easily<br />

be labelled "Gallant of Colonial<br />

Days." However, it no doubt<br />

pleases those who like to take<br />

their sculpture in homeopathic<br />

doses.<br />

The Standing Lincoln by Daniel<br />

Chester French is a sculpture<br />

to which one returns again and<br />

again. It shows Lincoln standing<br />

with his hands clasped in<br />

front of him, his head bent in<br />

thought. This figure holds the<br />

attention by the dignity and<br />

quiet strength of the conception.<br />

The bust of Duveneck by<br />

Charles Grafly, the Philadelphia<br />

sculptor, seems to answer all<br />

qualifications for a portrait in<br />

bronze. It is a sincere delineation<br />

of character and as a piece<br />

of sculpture has great dignity<br />

and beauty. This bronze belongs<br />

to the Permanent Collection of<br />

the Institute. Margaret Sargent<br />

has produced an amusing and<br />

spirited work in her bust of that<br />

amused observer and painter of<br />

life, Ge<strong>org</strong>e Luks.<br />

The nineteen small bronzes by<br />

Chester Beach show how interesting<br />

can be made the occasional<br />

pieces of sculpture in the<br />

library and living-room of a<br />

home. There are splendid figure<br />

pieces of small dimensions, such<br />

as "Glint of the Sea," "Swimmin'<br />

" and several nude studies.<br />

There are several decorative<br />

ashtrays, one with an adorable<br />

Puck-like little boy seated on the<br />

edge.<br />

Arthur B. Davies with his fifteen<br />

small pieces demonstrates<br />

also what can be accomplished<br />

with small portions of material.<br />

Here again are the graceful and<br />

strange figures Davies paints on<br />

canvas. One paperweight has a<br />

bronze figure of a woman with a<br />

background of vari-colored<br />

enamel. Another bronze figure<br />

is lightly covered with green<br />

enamel. There are several<br />

plaques in bas-relief.<br />

Paul Manship is represented<br />

with two bronzes, "Indian Runner"<br />

and "Oriental Sun Dial."<br />

"The Indian Runner," a fleetfooted<br />

brave with his dog, has all<br />

the grace, motion, fine design and<br />

esprit that are characteristics of<br />

the work of this splendid sculptor.<br />

The "Oriental Sun Dial" is<br />

in a different vein but equally<br />

effective. Max Kalish is here<br />

with three industrial figures,<br />

"The Riveter," "The Woods­<br />

man" and "Steel Worker." They<br />

are good examples of Kalish's<br />

talent in depicting the robust<br />

strength and vigor of the American<br />

working man. Kalish finds<br />

beauty in the everyday physical<br />

tasks that confront the laboring<br />

man.<br />

There are two fountain pieces<br />

by Harriet Frishmuth, "Joy of<br />

the Sea" and "Call of the Sea."<br />

Both are figures of water<br />

nymphs, one on tiptoe with arms<br />

upstretched, the other gaily riding<br />

the waves astride a dolphin.<br />

These figures have all the joy of<br />

life and youthful spirit that is<br />

characteristic of Miss Frishmuth's<br />

sculptures. Malvina Hoffman<br />

shows a "Shivering Girl."<br />

Janet Scudder's fountain piece<br />

"Cupid and the Turtle" is amus­<br />

bu Blanche Sears Emerson<br />

FASHIONS grow intricate as<br />

the season advances. We<br />

are caught in a whirlpool of conflicting<br />

ideas, these ideas resulting<br />

from the fact that the dictators<br />

of our styles are playing<br />

at cross purposes, in that they<br />

are serving two masters—Winter<br />

and Summer. To the former<br />

goes the major portion of that<br />

service, for we are in the midst<br />

of our social season at home, if<br />

we are not vacationing in the<br />

South. Afternoon and eveningfunctions<br />

demand appropriate<br />

attire, and for the first time in<br />

many years formality enters<br />

into apparel for that purpose.<br />

From advance models we learn<br />

that the approaching season will<br />

not only continue that formality,<br />

but increase it in subtle ways.<br />

The new things are characterized<br />

by a sophistication that is<br />

undeniable in its importance.<br />

Many things contribute to<br />

this general effect of formal luxury,<br />

which has more of the feminine<br />

theme than the presentations<br />

of recent years. We know<br />

the value of soft, supple fabrics;<br />

glowing colors; and skilfully<br />

conceived lines. And we are<br />

learning anew the added value<br />

of the distinctive touches provided<br />

by appropriate accessories,<br />

the costume details that have<br />

been skilfully designed for their<br />

special purpose. As a result of<br />

all this, the average gathering<br />

of women is notable for the real<br />

beauty of the clothes they wear,<br />

and one carries from that gathering<br />

a memory of exotic costumes,<br />

made so by the clever application<br />

of what is known as<br />

"glitter" treatments, or the use<br />

of accessories that employ crystals,<br />

rhinestones, diamantes and<br />

the semi-precious stones.<br />

First in importance, when it<br />

comes to evening dress, are the<br />

frocks that owe their beauty to<br />

beading of some sort. These<br />

frocks are by no means new, and<br />

they have been through a process<br />

of evolution to reach their<br />

present state, although that pro­<br />

cess has been so gradual that we<br />

have hardly noticed it. The<br />

straight line, sheath-like beaded<br />

frock of some seasons past was<br />

a harsh, unyielding, rather cold<br />

affair as compared with the<br />

beaded model of today. No one<br />

dress type reflects the new spirit<br />

more noticeably than the beadembroidered<br />

frock. In every detail<br />

changes have been made,<br />

even in the medium employed to<br />

achieve the unusual effects that<br />

are a characteristic of the type.<br />

It seems hardly possible that so<br />

many lines could be effected in<br />

so many important ways.<br />

Where once we had the tubelike<br />

line we now have graceful<br />

flares and fulness at the hemline<br />

and above the waistline. Draperies<br />

and panels; flounces and<br />

tiers; the circular skirt; these<br />

contribute to broken lines that<br />

manage, how-ever, to achieve<br />

straightness in effect. A definite<br />

waist is another feature of present-day<br />

models, and the hemline<br />

is wide, and it is, in many instances,<br />

uneven, permitting<br />

varied treatments with the embroideries<br />

as the medium. These<br />

several details all seem to accomplish<br />

a single purpose, for they<br />

result in a feminine softness<br />

that the original beaded dresses<br />

did not possess. The latter were<br />

inclined to solid patterns that<br />

covered the frock from neckline<br />

to hem. This heaviness of design<br />

is wholly absent in the more<br />

recent models.<br />

Delicate, fairy patterns are<br />

traced in crystals, rhinestones<br />

and diamantes, with some use of<br />

seed pearls for contrast. Materials<br />

incline to the chiffons and<br />

Ge<strong>org</strong>ettes, the latter the more<br />

practical of the two. Lace adopts<br />

these embroideries, which trace<br />

the pattern of the material; and<br />

tulle is another material used.<br />

At times two fabrics are combined,<br />

and it is not unusual for a<br />

model to bead the bodice and<br />

keep the skirt plain; or to reverse<br />

the process and have a<br />

plain bodice and a skirt with em-<br />

the frock from appearing to be<br />

weighted down with beads, for<br />

heaviness is not consistent with<br />

the style theme of the moment.<br />

Curiously enough, an eveningfunction<br />

will see dozens of beaded<br />

models, but each and every<br />

one of them will have an individuality<br />

all its own. There<br />

seems no limit to the ingenuity<br />

of the designers. But in one<br />

characteristic they agree—they<br />

all glitter. Some glitter more<br />

than others, but the effect is one<br />

of brilliance, the embroideries<br />

winking back at the lights,<br />

which are not brighter than the<br />

frocks they shine upon.<br />

Typical of the variety of these<br />

frocks we note these examples.<br />

A model in coral chiffon has a<br />

U-shaped line of brilliant embroidery<br />

on the bodice, both<br />

front and back. There is a<br />

matching line down the front of<br />

the skirt which is circular in<br />

effect. Another model has a<br />

tracery of leaf motifs to the<br />

knees, the skirt rippling into fulness<br />

and ending in an uneven<br />

hem. Rhinestones are used to<br />

create the semblance of dewdrops<br />

on the leaves, and the result<br />

is exotic without being overdone.<br />

Yet a third model shows<br />

the plain bodice extending in a<br />

straight line, on one side, to the<br />

hemline, while on the other side<br />

draperies cascade to the floor.<br />

The beads are applied in embroidered<br />

bands outlining the<br />

hem and the very effective side<br />

line of the draperies.<br />

But glitter effects are not limited<br />

to the beaded dress. There<br />

has been a very great deal of<br />

velvet used in evening things,<br />

the transparent stuff that is as<br />

light of weight as satin or crepe.<br />

Models of this lovely stuff are<br />

frequently draped, and it is a<br />

whim of the mode to accent<br />

their loveliness with a brilliant<br />

pin, catching the draperies; or a<br />

shoulder ornament, perhap s.<br />

There are some very attractive<br />

sets of two ornaments to be used<br />

from the velvet and the satin<br />

when the lines of the frock demand<br />

them. Beaded embroideries<br />

are not always missing<br />

frock; probably rhinestones and<br />

crystals are as effective on velvet<br />

as on any material, in some<br />

cases, more so. Then—catching<br />

the idea of brilliance—acces­<br />

sories do their part in livening<br />

up the mode.<br />

A costume jewelry shop is a<br />

dazzling place, these days, when<br />

artists in stones and metal ara<br />

applying their skill to white gold<br />

instead of platinum; to synthetic<br />

and semi-precious stones instead<br />

of precious jewels. Many of the<br />

offerings are copies of masterpieces,<br />

and under the glamor oi<br />

lights they successfully eounteifeit<br />

the originals. We no longer<br />

refuse to wear a stone that is not<br />

"real" for it is now good taste to<br />

fit one's jewelry to one's frock,<br />

which would be out of the question<br />

were real jewels the only<br />

possibility. Both afternoon and<br />

evening attire demand glitteringaccessories,<br />

the one possible exception<br />

the ubiquitous pearl that<br />

manages, however, to hold it:;<br />

position of prominence. Sometimes<br />

it combines with crystals<br />

or rhinestones in a lovely masterpiece.<br />

Necklaces employ crystals,<br />

strung successively, or interspersed<br />

with rondels of crystal,<br />

or, if the color note is needed,<br />

with topaz, sapphire or emerald.<br />

The faceted brilliantes make a<br />

beautiful necklace, and crystals<br />

and baroque pearls are combined<br />

charmingly, such a necklace ending<br />

in a beautiful crystal drop.<br />

Any one of these necklaces will<br />

return the sparkle of the lights<br />

in a most satisfactory way.<br />

There are choker and medium<br />

and long necklaces and there are<br />

bracelets to match. Sometimes<br />

Milady wears several bracelets<br />

of the "bangle" type, and again<br />

she wears a flexible bracelet that<br />

is set with rhinestones—these<br />

pieces hard to distinguish, in the<br />

evening, unless one is an expert.<br />

Again the bangle is combined<br />

with the flexible adornment.<br />

Jewelry departments do a bigbusiness<br />

in brooches. There<br />

seems to be a place on every<br />

frock for a jeweled pin, and one<br />

may be utterly pleased, no matter<br />

what her desire in the matter<br />

of shape. There are oblong,<br />

oval, round and rectangular<br />

brooches; and there are leaves,<br />

flowers, bow-knots, and any<br />

number of original designs carried<br />

out in rhinestones and semiprecious<br />

stones. Aquamarines<br />

are effective, and there are excellent<br />

imitations of lapis, crysoprase,<br />

and stones of this type,<br />

used as a foil for the brilliants.<br />

These pins are in demand for<br />

I N connection with the engagement<br />

of America's<br />

leading Shakespearean exponents,<br />

Robert B. Mantell and<br />

Genevieve Hamper, who will<br />

open an engagement of one week<br />

at the Nixon Monday evening,<br />

January 30, it was a much discussed<br />

question as to what to<br />

request the stars to appear in.<br />

This was finally decided by selecting-<br />

those plays in which Mr.<br />

Mantell and Miss Hamper had<br />

met with greatest favor on the<br />

occasion of previous visits and,<br />

by an odd chance, are those of<br />

all in their repertoire that they<br />

most enjoy appearing in.<br />

GENEVIEVE HAMPER<br />

chaise is "Three Peacocks." One<br />

of the birds is shown with<br />

spread tail; it is flanked on each<br />

side with other peacocks. The<br />

"Mask" and "Torso" by Gaston<br />

Lachaise are well done, but one<br />

may find the shiny nickel finish<br />

very irritating.<br />

Mahonri Young has captured<br />

the spirit of the Western ranch<br />

in his two figures "Rolling His<br />

Own" and "The Branding Iron."<br />

The details are all there, Stetson<br />

hat, neckerchief, gun, chaps,<br />

leather jacket et al. "Night<br />

Hawking" is another cowboy<br />

conception by Solom B<strong>org</strong>lum.<br />

Gutzon B<strong>org</strong>lum shows "John<br />

Ruskin," a rather bulky figure<br />

reclining in a chair with coverlet<br />

over his knees. His sensitive<br />

strong face is sympathetically<br />

done, although the structure of<br />

the figure seems unconvincing.<br />

There is a lovely and very<br />

amusing carved wood "Percheron,"<br />

pawing the air, by Heinz<br />

Warneke; a graceful "Piping<br />

Pan" by Edward McCartan, a<br />

lovely green bronze torso by<br />

Anna Glenny Dunbar; a decorative<br />

"Cupid and Gazelle" by Paul<br />

Jennewein; a styled "Madonna<br />

and Child" by Hilda Kristina<br />

Lascari. A woodcarving of interesting<br />

design is "Egyptian<br />

Water Carrier" by Gleb Derujinsky.<br />

The lithe figure carrying<br />

on her head a decorated jar<br />

is carved with extreme simplicity<br />

of line.<br />

Hunt Diederich's two bronzes<br />

are among the outstanding<br />

pieces in the show. Especially<br />

pleasing is "Spanish Gentleman<br />

on Horseback," a swagger cavalier<br />

with cloak about him on<br />

high-stepping horse. The other<br />

is a spirited "Percheron" resting<br />

on his haunches, kicking a front<br />

hoof into the air.<br />

This exhibition of sculpture<br />

was assembled by the Associated<br />

Dealers in American Paintings.<br />

It will be shown at the Institute<br />

through February 26.<br />

Walter Gieseking, the most<br />

talked about pianist during the<br />

year, is coming to Pittsburgh<br />

i February 17, to give an Art Society<br />

program in Carnegie Music<br />

Hall at 8:15 o'clock. In all the<br />

reviews from all over Europe,<br />

and from his short visit in this<br />

country, there is a remarkable<br />

uniformity in what is said. It<br />

may be summed up in one sentence<br />

"he is the greatest pianist<br />

among the younger men."<br />

Aside from his marvelous<br />

technic, his inner expression<br />

shows the same inexhaustible<br />

wealth of interpretative ability<br />

and great resources of tonal<br />

effects. He is likened to Busoni<br />

and Rosenthal, even Rubinstein.<br />

It is another feather in the Art<br />

Society's cap that he will give<br />

his first program before this Society<br />

which puts artistic merit<br />

before every other consideration.<br />

Dr. Caspar Koch will be heard<br />

in the regular free <strong>org</strong>an recital<br />

in Carnegie Music Hall, North<br />

Side, at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.<br />

Master James Morehead,<br />

soprano, will be the guest<br />

soloist, and Matthew Frey will<br />

play the accompaniments. In<br />

addition, Anthony J a w e 1 a k,<br />

pianist, will play the piano part<br />

in a rendition of Liszt's "Les<br />

Preludes." Dr. Koch has included<br />

in his program compositions<br />

by both Mr. Frey and Mr. Jawelak.<br />

The full program follows:<br />

Overture to "Prometheus" .Beethoven<br />

Cloches du Soir — Chauvet<br />

Humoresque L'Organo Primitivo Yon<br />

Soprano Solo:<br />

"Come unto Him" from "Messiah"<br />

not keep us from doing it. Evening<br />

slippers of silver kid wear<br />

rhinestone studded heels, while<br />

gold kid slippers wear topazstudded<br />

heels. These ornamental<br />

heels are to be had separately<br />

and may be applied to any shoe<br />

that demands them. Buckles are<br />

to be had, and they will match<br />

the heels. Then there are the<br />

"spans" of brilliants that may be<br />

attached to the opera pump, and<br />

the button-buckles for strap<br />

pumps. From head to foot glittering<br />

things—that is fashion's<br />

THE INDEX, Saturday. February 4, 1928<br />

Those who have been figuring upon the location<br />

of Pittsburgh's principal flying field must have been<br />

impressed with the responsibility of making the<br />

right selection when they plunged into the fog of<br />

last Tuesday from the outlying districts.<br />

Airport In the outskirts and away from the river<br />

valleys the sun was shining brightly<br />

whereas in the business and nearby residence sections<br />

the dense fog reminded one of the deep and<br />

depressing smoke laden mists of London. We feel<br />

sorry for the aviator who would have attempted to<br />

land in such a sea of soot. It was unusual for Pittsburgh<br />

but a great airfield must take into account<br />

the unusual. Those who have been advocating the<br />

location of landing fields in the suburbs within 20 or<br />

30 minutes of the downtown section gloated as they<br />

spoke enthusiastically of the blinding rays of the<br />

sun out where they lived. Perhaps they are right.<br />

At any rate Pittsburgh is not to be content with one<br />

field although one well equipped airport is worth<br />

a hundred that are not available every day in the<br />

year. Schenley Oval might do on 300 days in the<br />

year and then be worthless the other sixty-five muggy<br />

days. Theoretically Pittsburgh is not as soot or dust<br />

laden as other cities which have made notable advances<br />

in airplane preparations. The entire Pittsburgh<br />

area should be carefully surveyed and the<br />

best possible site secured. Then Pittsburgh or Allegheny<br />

County should be extremely liberal in providing<br />

the best equipment and the most modern<br />

landing and launching facilities. Selecting, securing<br />

and perfecting an airport for Pittsburgh is the most<br />

important public project commanding attention just<br />

now.<br />

One of the most important public projects proposed<br />

is the so-called Town Hall or public auditorium.<br />

There is no question as to the necessity for it. The<br />

real danger is in its location. So much money has<br />

been wasted in Pittsburgh in sense-<br />

Town Hall less selection of sites that the spot<br />

where the town hall will be built is<br />

of the utmost importance. It is proposed to ask the<br />

County Commissioners of Allegheny County to submit<br />

a proposition to the taxpayers to issue $6,000,000<br />

in bonds to build the auditorium. We will not<br />

quibble over who issues the bonds but the project<br />

is essentially one of Pittsburgh and we are forced<br />

to recall that $6,000,000 of bonds voted for a subway,<br />

which will never be started with such a small amount,<br />

might come in handy. Allegheny County built an<br />

expensive memorial hall in the Schenley Park district<br />

which has been about as useless a piece of expenditure<br />

as was ever voted. If Allegheny County<br />

builds the auditorium we hope some power will prevent<br />

its erection in the Schenley District as proposed.<br />

It should be downtown where it can be reached from<br />

every direction and it should be near automobile<br />

parking facilities. If we were building such a structure<br />

we would locate it on the plot bounded by<br />

Liberty, Grant, William Penn Place and Seventh Avenue,<br />

where a mammoth hotel has been mentioned.<br />

We would make it more than an auditorium. Possibly<br />

stores on the ground floor, the auditorium<br />

through the second, third and fourth floors and a<br />

great hotel above. We would endeavor to lease the<br />

auditorium for stated periods to the Mystic Shrine,<br />

which has a membership of 19,000 which it can never<br />

hope to seat in its Mosque, with 3,800 seats. The<br />

^ of Pittsburgh Life<br />

Published Everu Saturdmj Bu<br />

Shrine is now contemplating an extension in an effort<br />

to cater to its large membership. It has regretted<br />

ever since it located in Bellefield that it did<br />

not remain downtown. The Allegheny river wharf<br />

will be built up soon for some sensible uso of the<br />

river and the quay would make a nearby and admirable<br />

parking spot. If we could not secure the<br />

Liberty Avenue site we would buy an adequate tract<br />

adjoining the Northside park within a few minutes<br />

of downtown and central Pittsburgh and would use<br />

the adjacent park drives for the thousands of automobiles<br />

necessary to fill the auditorium. The size<br />

of the hall would be such that it could be used only<br />

a few times a year. The present Mosque is too large<br />

for most attractions. The new hall six or seven<br />

times as bad. In order to make the investment effective<br />

we would use the facilities most of the time<br />

for a permanent exhibit of products of the Pittsburgh<br />

District. Pittsburgh began to slip when it<br />

ceased to consider important its old Exposition. It<br />

was spoiled then by making cheap concerts the paramount<br />

concern. We have no doubt some one will<br />

propose the same thing for the new Town Hall. Fairs<br />

have been held in foreign countries for several hundred<br />

years. If Leipsig can conduct a fair of its products<br />

and find it profitable to advertise it in all parts<br />

of the world why cannot Pittsburgh at least investigate<br />

the subject and endeavor to do something<br />

of the same sort? The annual exhibit of glass products<br />

of all important American factories was held<br />

recently in Pittsburgh. It was an annual affair and<br />

was the most important of its kind in the world. It<br />

was scattered around all of the important hotels.<br />

Its managers made no effort to stage it in the Schenley<br />

District with its plethora of public halls for the<br />

very good reason that it would not have been a success<br />

there. Try to locate a convention in the Schenley<br />

District auditoriums two miles away from the<br />

hotels and see what a nice task you have laid out for<br />

yourself with those seeking convention locations.<br />

The convention experts of competing cities would<br />

tear your arguments to pieces. The character of the<br />

proposed town hall, its location and uses are just as<br />

Important as the ability to procure it. Pittsburgh<br />

has one more opportunity to use good sense, the lack<br />

of which will mark another failure.<br />

of stagnation in certain industries. Most corporations<br />

whose unemployment has been large have taken<br />

care of the needs of their own employes and it is declared<br />

by those who have investigated that the<br />

figures of suffering have been grossly overstated. At<br />

any rate the fund started, which will be largely increased,<br />

will remove the distress wdierever it may be<br />

and will give the sufferers time and the opportunity,<br />

Pittsburgh has again rung true under circumstances<br />

which did not encourage such a liberal spirit.<br />

Pittsburghers, who look forward with great hope<br />

to the time when the wonderful coal resources of<br />

their district will result in the development of the<br />

chemical center of the world, will be interested in<br />

the statement of a local electrical engi-<br />

Power neer in a report to the National Electric<br />

Light Association that coal consumption<br />

in the generation of electricity in the United States<br />

has been reduced more than 50 percent in the last<br />

five years. It is declared that this tremendous saving<br />

has been effected by raising the steam pressure<br />

in engines to 600 pounds and that still greater saving<br />

will be made with the advent of engines designed<br />

for 1200 pounds pressure, which already are under<br />

discussion. It is stated that from IS to 20 percent<br />

of the original energy is now being extracted from<br />

coal whereas the former percentage was from 2 to<br />

10 percent. This remarkable efficiency has caused<br />

many hydro-electric projects to be abandoned, which<br />

should be satisfying to Pittsburgh, well endowed<br />

with coal and well supplied with lowest cost steam<br />

generated electric power. There have been many who<br />

have feared that districts fortunate in waterpcwer<br />

would eventually attract industry from the coal flelds<br />

of Western Pennsylvania and the remarkable strides<br />

made in steam generated power by the introduction<br />

of the turbine indicates that there are more worlds<br />

yet to be conquered by those who have retained their<br />

faith in Pittsburgh, its resources and the splendid<br />

energy of its industrial leaders.

FIFTH. GRANT. OLIVER AND WILLIAM PENN PLACE


12 THE INDEX, Saturday, February 4, 1928<br />

Pointing T o w a r d S p r i n g<br />

Everything new Las its purpose and its significance.<br />

We are through with the fashions of winter.<br />

bu Blanche Sears Emerson<br />

T H E Winter mode of 1927-8<br />

has taken its logical place<br />

in the history of fashion, and<br />

designers are engaged in writing<br />

a new chapter for this constantly<br />

increasing volume. To the<br />

average woman it is the most<br />

interesting reading in all the<br />

wide, wide world, for few deny<br />

the fact that it is psychological<br />

in its effect upon the world we<br />

live in. If a new hat is a tonic,<br />

then planning a new wardrobe<br />

should be likened to a complete<br />

rest cure! Perhaps that is why<br />

we tentatively plan Spring<br />

clothes before Winter is more<br />

than half over. And when a<br />

Winter has been as friendly as<br />

the present one, there is added<br />

inspiration in the weather. And<br />

the makers of our modes are seeing<br />

to it that we have plenty of<br />

material with which to work,<br />

serving their interests, as well<br />

as ours.<br />

At this instant one can summarize<br />

the situation by saying<br />

that certain tendencies are being<br />

strengthened; that trends already<br />

started are being continued;<br />

that it is, really, a case<br />

of progress along lines already<br />

laid out. To understand this<br />

better, we may profit by a brief<br />

summarization of the present<br />

mode. A deceptively slender silhouette<br />

that breaks into movement<br />

on the least provocation<br />

and is achieved by subtle details<br />

cleverly applied; luxurious materials<br />

and a clever manipulation<br />

of them; the uneven hem with a<br />

tendency to length; these are<br />

the high lights of the fashions<br />

we are now wearing. Mention<br />

may also be made of the ensemble<br />

theme that is a fundamental,<br />

but subject to change. It governs<br />

our costumes with something<br />

of an imperialistic power,<br />

but we like it!<br />

Our first questions concerning<br />

a new mode have to do with materials,<br />

colors, the silhouette and<br />

skirt length. After these questions<br />

have been answered there<br />

are the details of waist and<br />

neckline and sleeves to be decided,<br />

and all are quite as important<br />

in their way as are the major<br />

premises of the mode. Nothingis<br />

decided, as yet, and we are<br />

dealing with futures—always a<br />

risky thing to do. But if we are<br />

clever, we will recognize the<br />

general direction of the mode,<br />

separating fundamentals from<br />

possibilities, the wheat from the<br />

chaff. Palm Beach modes are a<br />

substantial help, for in the various<br />

resorts they are wearing the<br />

type of clothes that we shall<br />

wear later. And the things that<br />

they find good will be stressed in<br />

the shops when our season opens<br />

here.<br />

If one were compelled to mention<br />

the two fundamentals that<br />

seem most likely to dominate the<br />

new mode, fabrics and the ensemble<br />

would be the ones chosen.<br />

It is upon the former that we depend,<br />

not only for the silhouette,<br />

but for our trimmings—the way<br />

designers handle materials is indicative<br />

of the new fashions.<br />

The latter rules everything we<br />

purchase, even the fine handkerchief<br />

that we tuck in pocket or<br />

purse. And the first quality required<br />

of any textile is its manageability,<br />

for it is not supple,<br />

pliable, workable, it is impossible.<br />

It is certain that the silhouette<br />

is to remain slender. It<br />

is equally certain that skirts are<br />

to be wider, and, in effect, longer.<br />

Note the phrase "in effect,"<br />

for it is important. We are<br />

ruled, even in sports clothes, by<br />

the uneven hemline.<br />

This means that the extremely<br />

brief skirt is not consistent<br />

with the newest trend of fashion.<br />

It may be short in places,<br />

but the fact that it is long in<br />

others makes the result a sort of<br />

compromise, achieved through<br />

the medium of dips, drapes and<br />

sashes, when the line is not deliberately<br />

scalloped or cut in<br />

points. There are quite as many<br />

pleats as there have ever been;<br />

there are tiers; there are flounces;<br />

and all these details take<br />

material, but do not add greatly<br />

to bulk, if the fabric is soft. Side<br />

drapes that end in huge bows;<br />

bustle bows for evening wear<br />

and what we know as fishtail<br />

trains; swinging panels; cape<br />

effects, especially in coats; there<br />

seems almost no limit to the detail<br />

that is being incorporated<br />

into our clothes. Yet—there<br />

continues a simplicity that is undeniable.<br />

They are experimenting with<br />

the princess silhouette. There<br />

are velvet models now in use;<br />

moire and taffeta are used for<br />

evening frocks that are based on<br />

this theme. It is not an exaggerated<br />

princess line, rather a<br />

molding of the line of the silhouette<br />

so that one is reminded<br />

of the days of the extreme princess<br />

dress and the pompadour!<br />

Mention must be made of the<br />

tunic, which is back with us<br />

again, its stay brief or lengthy<br />

as we decide. It appears in two<br />

styles—the slip-over and the<br />

model that fastens like a coat.<br />

From this brief listing of details<br />

it will be readily seen that the<br />

materials used to achieve these<br />

effects will have to include soft<br />

silks and crepes; sheer chiffons<br />

and Ge<strong>org</strong>ettes; and wools that<br />

possess the quality of workability.<br />

Cottons stress this characteristic.<br />

Fabrics are the principal medium<br />

of decoration, and this<br />

statement includes the combination<br />

of two materials; two colors<br />

; two colors and materials.<br />

Pin tucks seem to lead in the<br />

variety of ways that materials<br />

are used, and they write all sorts<br />

of stories, in characters and designs,<br />

on every possible fabric.<br />

Diagonals and horizontals;<br />

scrolls, diamonds and squares;<br />

and the sunburst motif are all<br />

retained—there is no limit to the<br />

ingenuity of the designer.<br />

Buckles and buttons and ornaments<br />

add their bit, and if there<br />

is a contrast in trimming it will<br />

usually be metal. Braids make<br />

an occasional appearance, and<br />

fringe retains a measure of<br />

popularity. Hand work, especially<br />

fagotting, is featured, and<br />

beads are still lavishly used on<br />

the formal frocks for eveningwear.<br />

The waistline is always a detail<br />

of interest, and we are wearing<br />

it, at the moment, at the top<br />

of the hips—occasionally a little<br />

lower, if the figure requires it.<br />

There are normal waistlines, but<br />

for the most part this is an unbecoming<br />

placement. Fashion<br />

loves it, but yields to necessity.<br />

There is not a doubt that if it<br />

were a generally becoming line,<br />

this normal waist, we would be<br />

wearing it now, for the trend is<br />

that way. In the matter of the<br />

neckline we may suit our preference.<br />

The V-line is favored for<br />

daytime wear but the square and<br />

the diagonal are classics, as is<br />

the round; the latter the preferred<br />

evening- line. Diagonal<br />

trimmings make the neck following<br />

that line a necessity, and it<br />

is welcome because it adds to<br />

variety without which fashion<br />

would be lost.<br />

As warm weather approaches<br />

we see occasional short-sleeved<br />

models in the shops; this is the<br />

general rule. For resort wear<br />

there are sleeveless tennis<br />

frocks, at least, that is what<br />

they are called, although we suspect<br />

that their popularity will<br />

not be confined to the active participants<br />

in this sport. The<br />

short-sleeved dress with jacket,<br />

or three-quarters length coat,<br />

has a chance in the coming<br />

mode—it is such a comfortable<br />

warm weather fashion. Long<br />

sleeves incline to ornamentation<br />

and width below the elbow, when<br />

the close-fitting sleeve is not the<br />

choice. It is interesting to note<br />

that coat sleeves, hitherto comparatively<br />

immune from elaborate<br />

decoration, are assuming importance<br />

in this respect. Which<br />

reminds us that the coat is the<br />

first garment of Spring to appear.<br />

The woman who wears her<br />

coat a second season will be a bit<br />

puzzled as to her choice, this<br />

year. Coats seem to absorb detail,<br />

and there are many individual<br />

models that show width at<br />

the hemline and wear collars<br />

that are quite unusual. Fur is<br />

used in new ways, and when the<br />

coat itself is not furred, there<br />

must be a scarf of fur to wear<br />

with it. Fox, if the figure is<br />

slender, and the smaller skins, if<br />

the figure is full. Dominating<br />

the entire mode we have the ensemble,<br />

which is now subject to<br />

seasonal changes, and quite as<br />

much a fundamental as the slim<br />

silhouette. This coming season<br />

it will be made up of matching<br />

materials, and to offset any<br />

monotony, there will be frocks<br />

of printed fabric worn with a<br />

coat in plain color, the latter repeated<br />

in the pattern of the silk.<br />

There are some charming<br />

knitwear ensembles, and there<br />

are those that are made of printed<br />

materials. There are evening<br />

ensembles, too, the latter made<br />

up of a dress and a jacket that<br />

is short and has sleeves, the<br />

idea being to provide protection<br />

for cool evenings. The material<br />

of this jacket may be of the<br />

frock fabric, or it may match in<br />

color and show a fabric contrast.<br />

Again, it may differ in both color<br />

and good acting, it holds<br />

one's interest throughout.<br />

DAVIS<br />

offering.<br />

One of the outstanding- features<br />

of the Apollonian Revue is<br />

the Manilla Orchestra, an aggregation<br />

of musicians who con­<br />

another pot pourri of nonsense<br />

called "Things and Stuff."<br />

taken against the wild background<br />

of a South American<br />

jungle, is promised in "The<br />

Gateway of the Moon." Dolores<br />

GRAND<br />

The Four Americans, who will<br />

comprise part of the stage entertainment<br />

at the Grand for the<br />

trained them and adopted the<br />

stage as a profession. Their appearance<br />

at the Grand promises<br />

much of interest musically.<br />

"Patent Leather Kid," starring<br />

Richard Barthelmess,<br />

which is the photoplay feature<br />

for the week, is a love story with<br />

the war in the remote background.<br />

Molly O'Day plays the<br />

six thousand men appear in the<br />

big scenes. Of this number one<br />

thousand are soldiers and civilians<br />

from Camp Lewis, Washington.<br />

"Patent Leather Kid"<br />

view of the fact that a former<br />

distinguished citizen of Western<br />

Pennsylvania, who has never<br />

dabbled in politics, has injected<br />

his personality and his fluent<br />

poetic pen into the contest on<br />

the side of Republicanism.<br />

The gentleman in question is<br />

John S. Duss, formerly the president<br />

and senior trustee of the<br />

Harmony Society, whose settlement<br />

at Economy, now Ambridge,<br />

was, perhaps, the most<br />

interesting experiment in communal<br />

life this country has witnessed.<br />

Mr. Duss, who still<br />

spends his Summers in "the<br />

great house at Economy," which<br />

was the home of the trustees of<br />

the Society from the days of<br />

Jonathan Rapp down to Father<br />

Henrici and Mr. Duss himself,<br />

even to the disillusion of the Society,<br />

has his permanent and<br />

voting residence at New Smyrna,<br />

Florida. His son, John S.<br />

Duss, Jr., is a prominent practicing<br />

lawyer at New Smyrna<br />

but the senior Mr. Duss devotes<br />

his time to his own personal affairs<br />

and to his favorite pastime<br />

—composing of music.<br />

A meeting of the New Smyrna<br />

Chapter of the Volusia Republican<br />

Club was held at the Palace<br />

Theatre in New Smyrna last<br />

Wednesday. Dr. Davis Forster<br />

was chairman and the keynote<br />

speech of the meeting was delivered<br />

by Wisdom D. Brown, of<br />

Washington and Daytona Beach,<br />

who, under the heading of "Opportunities<br />

for Florida and Organization"<br />

is of the belief that<br />

the future of Florida lies in the<br />

achievement of a two party government.<br />

He asserted that the<br />

S U B S C R I B E<br />

TODAY FOR<br />

^* of Pittsburgh Life<br />

$T^.OO THE<br />

O n l y $3 1 YEAR<br />

purported Democratic Party in<br />

the state is a nonentity,—declared<br />

that the primary law had<br />

failed to take the place of a two<br />

party government, and declared<br />

that if Florida is ever to have a<br />

government by the people, for<br />

the people, and representative of<br />

the people, it will have to have a<br />

two party government. Mr. Duss<br />

followed the keynote speaker<br />

and introduced a new Republican<br />

song which he wrote himself,<br />

and which is to be Used as a<br />

clarion call to Republicans<br />

throughout all Florida; to lead<br />

the children of the Everglades<br />

out of the wilderness of Democratic<br />

hypocracy. Mr. Duss's<br />

song was almost impromptu. At<br />

half past four in the afternoon<br />

of the meeting, Dr. Forster met<br />

Mr. Duss and requested his help<br />

in developing a musical slogan<br />

that would sweep the state. He<br />

wished to convey the idea that<br />

"We have come from the 47<br />

other states, but we are all for<br />

Florida." Mr. Duss and Dr. Forster<br />

made a hurried trip to the<br />

home of Mrs. R. 0. Vaughn, a<br />

New Smyrna musician, who<br />

agreed to preside at the piano<br />

while the song was beingevolved.<br />

MUSIC AND ART<br />

A date in late February will<br />

be chosen by the Pittsburgh<br />

Symphony Society for the first<br />

in a series of three concerts to<br />

be given Sunday evenings in<br />

Syria Mosque.<br />

Monday, starts the second week of this most wortlnj sale occasion.<br />

A sale that has had the generous approval of the puhlic<br />

— evidenced in the fact that hundreds have come and made<br />

their selections.<br />

There are reasons for this — good, hlunt, tangible reasons- the selection<br />

unusually style right — a large showing of refreshingly modern<br />

suites and pieces— new and novel without getting into the extreme.<br />

The price factor has been dealt with directhi— inexpensive location<br />

and low overhead permits o markedly and consistently low price at<br />

B &" E>— a flat out and out discount of 2 0 % from these prices<br />

certainly carries conviction in the customer s mind.<br />

Come Monday — or early in the week—stock at its best—see this<br />

furniture—— it constitutes a real exposition— and we want your approval.<br />

H i n t s - — F o r N o w A n d L a t e r<br />

What we mau buv) to smarten our winter wardrobe. What spring<br />

will tempt us to out]. And new little things lor the house.<br />

bn EJanche Sears Emerson<br />

T H E Y ' R E showing a new<br />

legging that will provide<br />

absolute protection for cherished<br />

light-colored stockings.<br />

They are to be had in any one<br />

of several colors—black, blue,<br />

tan, red or green; are rubberized<br />

; and have the convenient<br />

hookless fastening- that is such a<br />

joy!<br />

The handkerchief mode of the<br />

moment seems to stress the<br />

initial or the monogram. The<br />

work is solid or in cut-out effect,<br />

and sometimes it is backed by a<br />

shield; again it is not. You have<br />

a choice of white or on color; or<br />

color on white or on color.<br />

For the woman who is ultrafastidious<br />

in the choice of her<br />

underthings, and at the same<br />

time practically inclined, there<br />

are garments of sheer batiste,<br />

imported from Belgium. They<br />

come in white or in the pastel<br />

coloring's, and one of their chief<br />

claims to beauty is hand-work.<br />

Luxury upon luxury would be<br />

an excellent description of a<br />

pair of evening slippers recently<br />

noted in a smart shop. Vividly<br />

colored arabesques of kidskin<br />

were appliqued on the silver<br />

background, while straps and<br />

heels—just to be "onery"—were<br />

of gold leather.<br />

Some of the newest ensembles,<br />

designed for Winter wear<br />

in the out-of-doors, include blanket<br />

coats with detachable hoods<br />

in their make-up. Windbreakers<br />

of reversible suede are lined<br />

with wool. Ski suits of waterproofed<br />

material feature Norwegian<br />

breeches.<br />

The correct glove, at the moment,<br />

is the pull-on with plain or<br />

scalloped edges. This does not<br />

bar other fashions in handwear,<br />

by any means, but it is the most<br />

popular type. Suede is a favorite<br />

material and black is making<br />

a place for itself on the color<br />

card.<br />

Evening frocks are attempting<br />

to adopt two new ideas at one<br />

time by making robes de style of<br />

printed taffeta. There some wonderful<br />

designs a la Madame<br />

Pompadour, also some smaller<br />

patterns, and from present indi-<br />

cations it would seem that the<br />

idea is successful.<br />

A new evening wrap takes velvet<br />

for its fabric, a very sheer<br />

w-eave of this lovely stuff, cuts it<br />

very like a street coat, and<br />

adorns it with a butterfly cape.<br />

The color is any one of the pastels,<br />

and the whole garment is<br />

lined with silk in a harmonizing<br />

shade.<br />

Tulle is approved for eveningscarfs,<br />

and is smartest when cut<br />

triangle shape and sequinned.<br />

Gold tulle is embroidered in silver<br />

thread. The shawl is a<br />

classic, and is to be had in many<br />

styles, the Italian shawl with<br />

heavy macrame fringe a real<br />

favorite.<br />

New jewelry fashions are constantly<br />

appearing, and one of<br />

the latest is the choker necklace<br />

of crackled crystal. It is to be<br />

had in colors—mauve, ruby red<br />

and lapis blue—as w?ell as white,<br />

and was designed for wear with<br />

sports clothes. It's proving very<br />

smart.<br />

Old-fashioned jewelry is beingoffered<br />

for our approval. One of<br />

the revivals is the white cameo<br />

mounted on black, and it is to be<br />

had in a brooch or in earrings,<br />

in the style of our grandmothers.<br />

Jet is again used, combined<br />

with gold in some very effective<br />

pieces.<br />

Pearls are having to admit,<br />

whether they like to or not, that<br />

colored stones are rivals that<br />

cannot be disregarded. Pearls<br />

and sapphires and emeralds and<br />

topazes alternate, and these colored<br />

stones are also combined<br />

with crystal, the white sapphire<br />

Paris informs us of the importance<br />

of washable silks and<br />

the rough weaves, and proceeds<br />

to prove that importance along<br />

her lovely Riviera. There is<br />

"China" silk; the Japanese<br />

crepes; and the shantungs,<br />

rajahs and honans. They come<br />

in most alluring colors.<br />

Daytime frocks have re-discovered<br />

the tunic and are proceeding<br />

to pretend that it is<br />

very, very new. And to a certain<br />

extent it is, for it incorporates<br />

the details of the changing<br />

mode into its application—it is<br />

slip-over; it is surplice; or it is<br />

coat style.<br />

Southern fashions are makingmuch<br />

of wool crepe for the inevitable<br />

ensemble that is worn<br />

everywhere. The frock is one or<br />

two-piece and is worn with a<br />

three-quarters or seven-eighths<br />

length coat or one of the fascinating<br />

new capes that are proving<br />

so popular.<br />

Trench coats are comparatively<br />

new and most decidedly<br />

smart. They are made of unbleached<br />

cotton gabardine, belted<br />

at the normal waistline and<br />

generously pocketed. They meet<br />

the needs of the motorist, the<br />

sailor-lady, and appear on the<br />

beach. They're rain-proof.<br />

Beachwear insists upon glorifying<br />

the jersey suit, that is, by<br />

all odds, the most practical garment<br />

in that special mode. Active<br />

swimmers are on the increase,<br />

creating a demand for a<br />

practical, comfortable, yet attractive<br />

garment. Colors are<br />

very effective.<br />

What would be the answer, if<br />

the question of a garment to<br />

blaze a new trail were raised?<br />

The blazer, of course. And it is<br />

appearing along Southern beaches<br />

in a diagonal-striped effect,<br />

and they are using, not one, or<br />

two, or three colors, but four in<br />

the process.<br />

many of the new suits. Of crepe,<br />

Penn.<br />

The local firms who have been invited to<br />

participate are enthusiastically co-operating<br />

with the club to make the "show rival the<br />

opening of the most exclusive Parisian<br />

houses. Their buyers are already searching<br />

the Ateliers of France's smartest courturies<br />

to show to the women of Pittsburgh the new<br />

Spring modes.<br />

Many special features are being planned,<br />

and club members are looking forward to this<br />

interesting event, as well as the opportunity<br />

to select their Spring wardrobes in this<br />

unique and charming manner. Tables may<br />

be engaged for tea afternoons, or for coffee<br />

suppers in the evenings.<br />

The preliminary arrangements for the<br />

"show" are being made by the Board. The<br />

10 THE INDEX, Saturday, February 18, 1928<br />

F a s h i o n B i d ;<br />

And then proceeds to tell us just what we shall need in the<br />

process. The ensemble is more than ever important.<br />

dvj Blanche Sears Emerson<br />

THE new mode, evidenced in<br />

advance displays that<br />

have been arranged with the resort<br />

season in mind, is to be a<br />

delightful one. No one will be<br />

able to say—"Yes, it's smart,<br />

but it's not for me,'' for there is<br />

something in it for everyone;<br />

more than that, there is a<br />

choice! Of late years designers<br />

have shown a decided inclination<br />

to hew to the line of a successful<br />

fashion, refining it, and making<br />

the most of it; at the same time<br />

offering novelties as tentative<br />

styles. If some novelty "catches<br />

on" and meets with general approval,<br />

that novelty is enlarged<br />

upon and eventually becomes an<br />

approved fashion, upon which<br />

the originator plays the fine instilment<br />

of her genius. Seasonal<br />

changes we expect, but we also<br />

look for elaborations of familiar<br />

and well-liked themes.<br />

It is quite safe to make the<br />

assertion that the ensemble is a<br />

classic. We use this word advisedly,<br />

for it is now included in<br />

Fashion's vocabulary and is applied<br />

to those things that are<br />

featured season after season,<br />

either with or without change,<br />

usually the former. Black, white,<br />

black and white on the color<br />

card; the felt hat; the opera<br />

pump; the robe de style; these<br />

are typical of what is known as<br />

a fashion classic. Secure in its<br />

position in this group, the ensemble<br />

comes with every new<br />

season to dominate our wardrobe,<br />

for that is what it most<br />

certainly does. No matter what<br />

the purpose of our costume may<br />

be, whether it is designed for<br />

street or house; travel or stayat-home<br />

; daytime or evening<br />

wear, it must, when assembled,<br />

become an ensemble, its every<br />

part harmonious.<br />

As we approach the Spring<br />

and Summer seasons, Fashion<br />

sounds an even more powerful<br />

warning, and attracts our attention<br />

to the importance of this<br />

theme as a basis of our costuming.<br />

She begins with the suit,<br />

which is always the advance<br />

courier of Spring, and while she<br />

U s<br />

Get Together<br />

graciously permits us to assem­<br />

ble our own suit, if it pleases us<br />

to do so, she insists that the<br />

parts harmonize and present the<br />

appearance of being originally<br />

planned to go together. It is a<br />

comparatively simple matter to<br />

do this, for the range of coats<br />

is wide, and there are one and<br />

two-piece frocks, and knitted<br />

dresses and sweaters, and separate<br />

skirts and blouses in pro­<br />

fusion. This is really imperative,<br />

since many women like to assemble<br />

more than one costume<br />

against the background of a<br />

favorite coat.<br />

To set us an example in the<br />

business of assembling, Fashion<br />

offers us ensembles that are the<br />

utmost in perfection. She begins<br />

with the sports mode, for in that<br />

group the sojourner in vacation


''lands is most interested at the<br />

moment. She proceeds to the<br />

tailored ensemble that will intrigue<br />

the traveler and the stayat-home<br />

both, for the latter will<br />

find it smart for street wear.<br />

And she offers many other types<br />

that cover every activity of the<br />

day or evening . And while it is<br />

true that for some time now we<br />

have had to really hunt for the<br />

connecting link that has tied<br />

coat to frock, we are now assured<br />

of the connection at the<br />

very first glance. From a matching<br />

coat and frock, to the ensemble<br />

that is subtle in its theme,<br />

we have come, again, to the costume<br />

that boldly matches color,<br />

or fabric, or both.<br />

If ever there were a concrete<br />

example of the statement that<br />

"Anticipation is the better part<br />

of pleasure," the new sports ensembles<br />

are examples. They include<br />

outfits of the new soft<br />

woolens; of silks in the coarse<br />

weaves and in the prints of the<br />

moment; and in knitted garments.<br />

They cross the one with<br />

the other, giving us something<br />

to really think about—as illustration<br />

of this a jacket suit of<br />

deep green knit fabric, the skirt<br />

and jacket carried out in simple<br />

lines and worn with a surplice<br />

blouse of green and pale yellow<br />

striped silk. The green of the<br />

blouse is identical with the green<br />

of the knit fabric. Kasha cloth<br />

suits are offered in one or twopiece<br />

dress and coat combinations,<br />

the latter three-quarters<br />

length, in many instances.<br />

Fringes are a favorite trimming<br />

on this cloth.<br />

The sports mode is beingmade<br />

the testing place for several<br />

new ideas. There are ensembles<br />

made up of a sleeveless<br />

dress and a jacket—they call<br />

them "tennis" costumes, but one<br />

doesn't have to qualify as a player<br />

to wear them. This is a preseason<br />

effort to renew the<br />

sleeveless dress. If they wear<br />

them at the resort places, we<br />

shall have more of them, come<br />

Spring; if they do not, we shall<br />

not catch even so. much as a<br />

glimpse of a sleeveless frock. It<br />

is even safe to prophecy that<br />

there will be sleeveless afternoon<br />

dresses, if the sleeveless sports<br />

frock "goes over big!" The only<br />

trouble with a fashion of this<br />

sort is its abuse in the hands of<br />

women who should know that it<br />

is not for them. Like the short<br />

skirt, it is not for everyone, but,<br />

rather, for the individual.<br />

Another test is being given<br />

the cape, and one may safely<br />

predict the success of this garment.<br />

There are sports ensembles<br />

made up of frock and cape,<br />

the latter a three-quarters<br />

length affair, very military<br />

about the shoulders, but very<br />

feminine in its lines—a smart<br />

combination. That designers<br />

have very little fear that the<br />

cape will not meet with general<br />

approval is evidenced by the fact<br />

that many of the new coats have<br />

capes, or cape sleeves, or cape<br />

collars; and one of the smartest<br />

new evening coats, designed for<br />

the South, has a butterfly.cape.<br />

Its material is sheer velvet; it is<br />

lined with silk; and its color is<br />

M U S I C A N D A R T<br />

THOSE who appreciate the<br />

delicate beauty and grace<br />

of dry point etchings will revel<br />

in the collection, by Louis Icart,<br />

that Wunderly Brothers are now<br />

displaying in their galleries.<br />

Charming in subject, light as air<br />

in their grace and treatment,<br />

with such colors as one finds<br />

now and then when sunlight<br />

flashes on water drops, are these<br />

some two dozen or more of Icart<br />

etchings. They will remain until<br />

the first of March.<br />

Also on display in these galleries<br />

is a cottage home scene of<br />

mother and small children, by<br />

Bernard Pothast. There is tenderness<br />

and sympathy in the<br />

way the artist has done his work<br />

here; the small group is life-like,<br />

charming in composition and<br />

color.<br />

Then, too, there may be seen<br />

an etching of Pittsburgh, done<br />

by Anton Schutz, whose drawings<br />

of New York's famous sky<br />

lines have occasioned so much<br />

favorable comment. Mr. Schutz<br />

betook himself, at the suggestion<br />

of an appreciative Pittsburgher,<br />

to the top of the Oliver<br />

Building and from that vantage<br />

point made his drawing.<br />

For next month the Wunderly<br />

Galleries have planned an exhibition<br />

of reproductions of old<br />

master drawings — including<br />

Durer, Holbein, Rembrandt and<br />

Van Leyden. Also, an exhibition<br />

of Dutch marines and landscapes,<br />

painted by Charles<br />

Gruppe.<br />

The Macbeth Galleries, 15<br />

East Fifty-seventh Street, New<br />

York, are announcing two interesting<br />

exhibitions that opened<br />

February 14. One is a collection<br />

of sculpture by Gleb Derujinsky,<br />

the other paintings of the Canadian<br />

Rockies, by Belmore<br />

Browne. Both shows will close<br />

February 27.<br />

The second annual intercollegiate<br />

Glee Club Contest with<br />

five colleges competing, Penn-<br />

State, Allegheny, Juniata, Bucknell<br />

and Carnegie Tech, will be<br />

held Friday evening, February<br />

24, in Carnegie Music Hall. Each<br />

school will have 30 men entered<br />

who will appear in their own college<br />

song first and later in the<br />

Broken Melody which is the<br />

competition number for this<br />

year. The program will close<br />

with Kremser's ''Prayer of<br />

Thanksgiving" with 150 men<br />

singing under the direction of<br />

Harvey Gaul. Most of the<br />

schools were entered last year.<br />

Allegheny College is a new entrant<br />

and much interest is<br />

aroused among the different college<br />

circles. The judges who are<br />

selected by the committee are<br />

the same as last year. Dr. Will<br />

Earhart, Ernest Lunt and J.<br />

Fred Lissfelt. Charles Boyd will<br />

act as master of ceremonies.<br />

James A. Bortz is the local man-<br />

Marion Engle, pianist, will be<br />

heard in recital at Carnegie Lecture<br />

Hall March 2. She will play<br />

a program including Mozart,<br />

Beethoven, Chopin and Debussy.<br />

Dr. Caspar Koch will give the<br />

regular free <strong>org</strong>an recital in Carnegie<br />

Hall, North Side, at 3<br />

o'clock tomorrow afternoon.<br />

Leon Pagan, French baritone,<br />

will be the guest soloist and<br />

Frederick Rosenfeld will play<br />

the piano accompaniment. The<br />

program opens with Dr. Koch's<br />

transcription of Mendelssohn's<br />

Overture to "A Midsummer<br />

THE INDEX, Saturday, February 25, 1928<br />

F R O M T H E E D I T O R ' S W I N D O W<br />

This appears to be the period, in the face of<br />

political contests, when seekers after office feel that<br />

one of the requisites is to father some public improvement.<br />

As a result we have a plethora of proposed<br />

bond issues at a time when the land<br />

Taxes owner as well as the renter feels that the<br />

burden of taxation is quite heavy enough.<br />

We cannot afford to stop necessary public improvements<br />

but can go slowly, and we should. There are<br />

some things which should be done without delay.<br />

That is to select a major flying field and airplane<br />

landing port and build a public hall. We are going<br />

to leave to the good judgment of the committee<br />

selected to secure a site for commercial aviation to<br />

do the best for all concerned. We believe the results<br />

will justify the painstaking efforts of those<br />

who have given so much time to the project. As for<br />

the public hall we are inclined to believe that Pittsburgh<br />

is in danger of repeating its past stupidity<br />

and selecting the site for the great convention hall in<br />

the neighborhood of Schenley Park. Nothing in our<br />

judgment could be worse. The hall which is to be<br />

built will be for all of Western Pennsylvania. It<br />

should be where it can be reached easily from every<br />

railroad station and every important highway. It<br />

will be folly to take it away from the downtown<br />

section, however expensive the site. The taxpayers<br />

who vote upon the bond issue should know where it<br />

is to be built before the money is provided. One of<br />

the reasons Pittsburgh has slipped in the last two<br />

decades is because of the bad judgment of those supposed<br />

to be big men and leaders. We cannot afford<br />

to make many more mistakes. What is to be done<br />

should be done for the best interests of the community<br />

without the selfish motives which have ruined<br />

so many projects in the past. We are to be confronted<br />

with bond issues running into many millions.<br />

Some of them are for bridges and tunnels which<br />

should not be built for 20 or 30 years, if then. Such<br />

projects should be rejected. This is no time for extravagance.<br />

If we are driving industries away because<br />

our taxes are too high we should be courageous<br />

enough to be sensible and stop useless public<br />

improvements. The air field and public hall are<br />

urgent, in our judgment. The rest can wait without<br />

hampering any person or community and they should<br />

be made to wait.<br />

Appeal has been made at Washington for some<br />

relief for the pottery industry, which has been suffering<br />

from excessive importations from Japan and<br />

France. Last fall imports broke all records. The<br />

difficulty is to get any person at Wash-<br />

Tariff ington to do anything. Pittsburgh may not<br />

think it is in the pottery business but the<br />

great East Liverpool district, which is tributary, has<br />

suffered so much that this section has been severely<br />

hurt. Pennsylvania has been compelled to see the<br />

logical markets for its products go one by one as the<br />

manufacturers of Europe have gained momentum.<br />

Pottery is not alone. Window glass, plate glass,<br />

china, stoneware, glassware, cement, shoes, pig iron<br />

have stood defenceless against the flood from abroad.<br />

The direct loss to the Pittsburgh District is heavy.<br />

SENATOR DAVID A. REED<br />

Has courageously fought the radical and other misinformed<br />

senators at Washington who have tried to<br />

play politics by maligning Pennsylvania industries and<br />

has made a name for himself by his ability and independence.<br />

We are not only deprived of the employment, wages<br />

and profits in these industries but we are compelled<br />

to see millions of tons of coal used in these various<br />

factories taken out of the market. We have been<br />

wondering when we are going to awaken to our own<br />

menace. We have a national election approaching<br />

without any more definite national policy involved<br />

than in a ward contest. People wonder why business<br />

is not as it should be. They cannot understand<br />

any relation they may have as to whether a<br />

wet or a dry moves into the White House. In the<br />

meantime Germany, France, Belgium, Japan keep<br />

pouring their products into our markets, reducing<br />

the prices of our wares, endangering the wages of<br />

our workingpeople and seeing that their own toilers<br />

are growing in prosperity. When we awaken the<br />

horse will have gone.<br />

If the Senatorial Committee, which has injected itself<br />

into the coal strike situation in Western Pennsylvania,<br />

gives this district a square deal and actual­<br />

ly uncovers all of the facts, it will be a good thing.<br />

Pittsburgh has suffered for some years be-<br />

Light cause an unfair Interstate Commerce Commission<br />

did not see the injustice of the railroad<br />

rates it was enforcing. In addition to that<br />

Pittsburgh was compelled to submit to arbitrary and<br />

unfair wages in comparison with those of its competitors.<br />

The coal industry has been prostrated and<br />

its serious effect has been felt in every line of endeavor.<br />

The railroads quietly saw an important buying<br />

center fade away because they did not wish to<br />

disturb other markets to which they were carrying<br />

larger tonnages. Pittsburgh cannot suffer from the<br />

light which an honest investigation will pour upon<br />

it. We dread more the political circus which most<br />

of these investigations are. There is a suspicion<br />

that the journey from Washington is more of an<br />

effort to cast aspersions upon the Secretary of the<br />

Treasury than to find whether unfair methods are<br />

used in the mining of bituminous coal. Those in<br />

charge of presenting the facts should see that no<br />

stone is left unturned to permit the world to realize<br />

how unfairly this district has been treated in an<br />

official way. Perhaps after the inquiry is over the<br />

country will think better of us. It cannot be worse.<br />

Residents of Pittsburgh will be interested in the<br />

fact that an authentic biography of the late Henry<br />

Clay Frick, whose extraordinary ability was for so<br />

many years devoted to the upbuilding and expansion<br />

of this district, has just been published.<br />

A Life There are many items in the industrial<br />

controversies of several decades ago<br />

which the new volume clears up. It reveals in addition<br />

on how slender a thread the industrial expansion<br />

of Western Pennsylvania was dependent and<br />

how the situation was saved by a very small group<br />

of men of courage, vision and ability. There should<br />

be many lessons in this book for those who are content<br />

to believe that Pittsburgh promotes progress.<br />

If there is any doubt let them read how by a very<br />

slim chance Pittsburgh was able to control the iron<br />

ore situation and thereby save its prestige and its<br />

prosperity.

so subtly, yet unmistakeably<br />

different. Lines and colors are<br />

changing, and of course Spring<br />

and Summer fabrics differ "materially"<br />

from those of the Winter<br />

months. It is quite impossible<br />

to match one's pet frock to<br />

goods of the same texture and<br />

shade, and that means that<br />

M o r t g a g e s W a n t e d<br />

modifying changes are impossible.<br />

It remains indelibly marked<br />

with the identification details of<br />

Winter 1927-8. We must have<br />

something, perhaps several<br />

somethings, to ease us into the<br />

new season, and we are puzzled<br />

Now that we have slipped out<br />

of the period when a straight<br />

line frock was the thing, and remained<br />

quite smart as long as it<br />

was at all wearable, we are finding<br />

ourselves confronted with a<br />

new problem. In a way we should<br />

be grateful for the situation that<br />

is presented, for if we accept it<br />

and make the most of it, it will<br />

mean that we will be always<br />

smartly dressed. It precludes<br />

the accumulation of garments<br />

selected with thoughts of another<br />

season in mind. It is going<br />

to prove very difficult to find<br />

a coat, a suit or a dress that will<br />

fit comfortably into the Fall<br />

mode, if the present trend continues,<br />

and there is no reason to<br />

think that it will not. Perhaps<br />

some explanation of this trend<br />

will not be out of place—it may<br />

even help solve our sartorial<br />

problems.<br />

Designers rarely, if ever,<br />

ground of one of the smart new<br />

coats. For Dame Fashion has<br />

decreed that the ensemble is the<br />

thing, and your assortment of<br />

dresses and wraps must be<br />

chosen to form a harmonious<br />

costume with this predominating<br />

note.<br />

It is rather important, this<br />

season, that there be the "makings"<br />

of both sports or tailored,<br />

and formal ensembles in the<br />

wardrobe. That is one of the<br />

proofs of the progress that<br />

fashion has made—we are not<br />

informal all day long; we grow<br />

extremely formal when the<br />

lunch hour has passed. Lines,<br />

colors and materials mark this<br />

formality, and where we used to<br />

get through the day quite comfortably<br />

with a smart sports<br />

costume, we are now out of both<br />

mood and mode when we bridge<br />

or matinee or take tea in sports<br />

attire. True, it is a bit more expensive,<br />

but it's worth it, for the<br />

new models are so lovely they<br />

tractively frocked and coated,<br />

these days; so smartly and individually<br />

costumed.<br />

The ensemble, as it is offered<br />

us for the new season, is quite<br />

frank in proclaiming its identity.<br />

It links coat to frock in ways<br />

that are far from subtle—with<br />

material and color as well as line.<br />

It is a two or three piece affair<br />

as you prefer, and it includes<br />

everything smart and new that<br />

designers have to offer. Seldom,<br />

if ever, is it made wholly of one<br />

material—if it were, it would<br />

take from fashion her very<br />

strongest claim to subtlety. Any<br />

model that appeals to us, these<br />

days, should be analyzed for the<br />

reason for that appeal. The mode<br />

is a thing of cause and effect—<br />

it is most amazing what causes<br />

have ben discovered to achieve<br />

effects. Modes offered as seasonal<br />

are the delight of the wearer,<br />

but the despair of the<br />

woman who would be her own<br />

designer and dressmaker.<br />

Just when we were fairly sure<br />

that the one-piece frock would<br />

be a leader during the comingseason,<br />

news reaches us that<br />

they're bringing the blouse back.<br />

This is good news, for this garment<br />

can be made to play an important<br />

part in the ensemble, if<br />

the latter is three-piece. Separate<br />

blouses lend the variety<br />

that cannot be had when the<br />

suit is made up of a one-piece<br />

frock and coat. Especially is<br />

this true in the sports and tailored<br />

group which is important<br />

for many purposes that the<br />

formal group will not fulfill. Beginning<br />

with the tweeds lovely,<br />

serviceable things, and proceeding<br />

on through novelty cloths<br />

and all the knit fabrics to the<br />

reps and twill and men's wear<br />

fabrics, we are offered a variety<br />

for the serviceable ensemble<br />

that proves both interesting and<br />

satisfactory.<br />

We are hearing and seeing<br />

more of the sweater ensemble<br />

that has met with wonderful<br />

success at the Winter resorts.<br />

Many times the coat and skirt<br />

of this ensemble are made of<br />

knit fabric; again they are of<br />

tweed or novelty wool; but flannel<br />

and crepe and silk, even<br />

printed materials, are called into<br />

service for the purpose. Sweaters<br />

are colorful, individual,<br />

beautiful affairs, and with a<br />

jacket or cardigan or threequarters-length<br />

coat and a skirt<br />

as a basis, one may assemble a<br />

full sports wardrobe by means<br />

of these same sweaters. They<br />

bear not the slightest resemblance<br />

to the garment of several<br />

seasons ago—they are colorful;<br />

light of weight and ingenious as<br />

to construction; all this without<br />

mention of the stitches that are<br />

decorative in themselves.<br />

The tailored suit, fundamentally<br />

the same, is always correct.<br />

Many women feel that there<br />

must always be one of these<br />

suits in the wardrobe, and by<br />

this is meant the strictly tailored<br />

affair that depends upon<br />

lines; niceties of detail; and perfection<br />

of workmanship for its<br />

smartness. The short jacketed<br />

suit has a worthy rival in the<br />

ensemble with three-quarters or<br />

seven-eighth length coat, which<br />

permits of a slightly longer<br />

jumper or blouse being worn.<br />

And the new mode is bringing<br />

us still another variation in the<br />

cape. This garment has returned<br />

with all its former smartness<br />

and some new interpretations<br />

that are even smarter, and certainly<br />

more novel. It is insinuating<br />

its way into the afternoon<br />

and evening mode, and dresses<br />

as well as wraps are taking it up.<br />

THE INDEX, Saturday, February 25, 1928 11<br />

When the ensemble is tailored<br />

or sports the cape is the whole<br />

garment. In ensembles of more<br />

formal mien it is sometimes the<br />

same way; but in many of the<br />

coats there is an adaptation of<br />

the cape to the line and the<br />

spirit of the model. A coat of<br />

black satin, an excellent background<br />

for formal frocks, has a<br />

cape that runs diagonally across<br />

the back, dipping deep on one<br />

shoulder and running narrow on<br />

the other. It is edged with fur,<br />

this cape, and the collar of the<br />

coat is military. Coats of silk<br />

or satin will be popular in ensemble<br />

costumes, for they are the<br />

logical background for Ge<strong>org</strong>ette,<br />

lace and chiffon, formal<br />

afternoon fabrics. A single coat,<br />

conservative in color, may serve<br />

several dresses; black is probably<br />

the safest choice, and after<br />

that, navy blue.<br />

Coats are yielding to the many<br />

details of the general mode. A<br />

display of models impresses one<br />

with the many ways of achiev-<br />

and successful exhibit this<br />

<strong>org</strong>anization ever has had.<br />

Much interest is centered this<br />

year in the "one man" show of<br />

Everett Warner, art instructor<br />

at Carnegie Tech. Mr. Warner<br />

came to Pittsburgh from New<br />

York about six years ago. In<br />

1926 he received third honor in<br />

the Associated Artists' exhibit.<br />

His work is distinguished by a<br />

broad technic and conception,<br />

and quiet, tonal effects. His display<br />

of twenty-nine oils comprises<br />

land and seascapes.<br />

Among them is an unusual airplane<br />

view of New York, another<br />

a strangely angled view from a<br />

seaplane.<br />

An unusually large number of<br />

women are represented in the<br />

exhibit this year. Of the one<br />

hundred and fifty artists represented,<br />

sixty-three are women.<br />

Those who have won honor's include<br />

M. J. Vick, third award<br />

Elizabeth B. Robb, the Alumnae<br />

prize given by the former School<br />

of Design for Women, and Sarah<br />

C. Wilson, who won the A. W.<br />

Smith, Jr., floral award. In addition<br />

to Mr. Warner's show, the<br />

only other large group displays<br />

are those of two women, Myrtle<br />

Altwater with her soap sculpture,<br />

and Lillian Guiver with her<br />

miniatures.<br />

Some of the outstanding work<br />

among many excellent compositions,<br />

are the four beautifully<br />

executed compositions of Marie<br />

S. Dullard in the sculpture<br />

room; the striking black and<br />

white fantasies of Jeannette C.<br />

Shirk; the colorful water colors<br />

of Erna Seibel Yorke; the brilliant,<br />

New England land and<br />

water scenes of Lucetta Arnold;<br />

the lovely children of Anna Bella<br />

Miss Sunshine is recalled as a<br />

musical comedy favorite, who<br />

to appear as a vaudeville headliner<br />

a few seasons ago, and<br />

found such favor that she has<br />

remained in the big time. Her<br />

vehicle on her present tour is a<br />

comedy skit, "Just a Chorus<br />

believed in hewing to the line and did. And the end<br />

is not yet. Pittsburgh must do something to retrieve<br />

prestige undoubtedly lost. Her bankers and<br />

builders and manufacturers and coal operators and<br />

other employers are no different from those of other<br />

sections. As a matter of fact we think they have a<br />

larger amount of real sympathy than others of other<br />

sections. They are dealing with a different class of<br />

labor and always have been subject to invasions of<br />

years of hopeless struggle in the very heart of<br />

business New York and yet a few weeks ago the<br />

great metropolis took quite a lot of pride in staging<br />

a tag day for families of Western Pennsylvania<br />

miners on strike. A few weeks ago a young former<br />

soldier who had been gassed in France and who was<br />

accused of murder was electrocuted although he was<br />

unquestionably deranged. When we see crippled men<br />

in the uniform of the boy who went to France sitting<br />

on cold pavements and in alleys trying to eke out a<br />

living we wonder what kind of people we are that<br />

we will allow men who fought for us to fall to such<br />

depths. There may be fraud and deception and no<br />

occasion for the type of occupation but there are<br />

certainly means for an investigation which will reveal<br />

the truth. If there is want and suffering steps<br />

should be taken at once to relieve it. Pittsburgh<br />

should never allow herself to be disgraced in the<br />

same way New York has.<br />

In the preparation of the new Allegheny County<br />

parks deliberate consideration should be given to<br />

horse back riding. Bridle paths should be laid out<br />

which will give ample opportunity for this support<br />

and some thought should be given to the<br />

Roads idea of a comprehensive system of connecting<br />

driving roads which would permit<br />

riders to go safely from one park to another. A<br />

10 THE INDEX, Saturday, March 3, 1928<br />

E a r h j Signs O f S p r i n g<br />

What so important, when a season is waning, as a new cliapeau;<br />

Or new lootwear? Or anu up-to-tke minute accessory?<br />

bu Blanche Sears Emerson<br />

O N E of the most pathetic<br />

conditions of the between<br />

season time is the<br />

one that has to do with "trying<br />

to get along" until a new mode is<br />

seasonable. Yet the very best<br />

of us are inclined that way, f<strong>org</strong>etting<br />

the important fact that<br />

a hat less, or fewer details will<br />

not materially affect a wardrobe<br />

wholly new; while a smart new<br />

chapeau, or a pair of new shoes<br />

will smarten, not only one's wellworn<br />

wardrobe, but one's morale<br />

as well—especially, the hat! It<br />

will rouse one's interest in life<br />

as no other article of apparel can<br />

do, and it is no longer correct to<br />

wait until Easter for the smartening<br />

influence. Something new,<br />

to brighten up something old, is<br />

a duty, and when it happens, as<br />

this year, that the new models<br />

are exceptionally fetching, there<br />

isn't an excuse for refusing to<br />

do that duty.<br />

The new season will report<br />

progress in every way, whether<br />

it be in general, or special fashions.<br />

Practically every characteristic<br />

applicable to things in<br />

general is found in the new hats<br />

—many different fabrics and<br />

colors, or shades of them; a<br />

widely varying silhouette; clever<br />

manipulation of materials; and a<br />

diverse interpretation of the<br />

theme we have come to know as<br />

feminine. Always fashion is<br />

going somewhere, and it is with<br />

this trend that we have to do at<br />

any between-season time. We<br />

approach the subject with zest,<br />

for we like the road that fashion<br />

is traveling, for it is toward<br />

beauty, not away from it; and it<br />

finds expression, when it comes<br />

to millinery, in laces; in flowers;<br />

in intriguing wisps of veiling; in<br />

feathers and brushes and the<br />

many fine things that are used,<br />

with restraint, for trimming.<br />

The hat we buy right now will<br />

be a between-season affair, suitable<br />

to a season ending and another<br />

beginning. The new<br />

"shapes" make pliable fabrics<br />

imperative, for upon that quality<br />

the success of the designer depends.<br />

There are silks, especial­<br />

ly grosgrain, that have this<br />

characteristic; and there are<br />

crepes, satins and felts, as well.<br />

Then there are certain straws<br />

that seem to be correct, either in<br />

combination, or as trimming for<br />

the other materials. But felt is,<br />

beyond every other material, important,<br />

for it is always correct,<br />

and, therefore, always safe. It<br />

may be one, two, or even three<br />

colors, in the modernistic way,<br />

or it may be combined with<br />

straw, the latter an unmistakeable<br />

Spring touch against a Winter<br />

background. This is a logical<br />

between-season combination.<br />

The straws that resemble<br />

linen are in demand, among<br />

them sisol and bakou important.<br />

And celophane, very glossy, is .<br />

used, sometimes trimmed with<br />

cire ribbon. It would seem that<br />

shiny effects, both in the hat<br />

and the trimming, are a new<br />

note. But it will be the lines of<br />

the new models that will intrigue<br />

us most, for they are, if<br />

ever lines were, broken! One<br />

hears talk of the "eye-brow" silhouette,<br />

seen in a roguish model<br />

with a pert little rabbit's ear<br />

over one eye. There are skull<br />

caps galore that twist and turn<br />

in intriguing ways, one with a<br />

twisted halo flange that is different.<br />

There is real ingenuity<br />

in the lower crown; in the hat<br />

moulded close to the head and<br />

cut away decisively over one<br />

eye; in brims rolled off the face<br />

in a lengthened front effect.<br />

There are some small felt hats<br />

that fit so closely that they resemble<br />

a bob! They are to be<br />

had in some very gay colors—<br />

fur coat hats, we call them.<br />

Then there are some adorable<br />

hats, designed for formal purposes,<br />

of feathers and flowers.<br />

One model, a skull cap affair, is<br />

made of tiny lacquered feather<br />

curls, sewn closely together—<br />

the result looks very like a<br />

shingled, but ringleted head.<br />

Still another hat, for afternoon<br />

tea, is made of flowers. It's<br />

close-fitting, too, and may be of<br />

violets, or, still newer, of primroses,<br />

and it will have a shoulder<br />

boutonniere to match. For evening<br />

wear there is a gleaming little<br />

cap made wholly of sequins,<br />

fitting snug to the head in lines<br />

that have been carefully shaped<br />

to the individual, and worn with<br />

a tulle scarf.<br />

Which leads, in the approved<br />

rhetorical form of unity, coherence<br />

and emphasis—to the subject<br />

of the scarf! We have been<br />

flirting, off and on, for many<br />

seasons, with this detail, and it<br />

is wholly in the spirit of the<br />

trend toward effects that are far<br />

removed from either boyishness<br />

or mannishness. But this season<br />

irnrn TCS2 .": 1<br />

the idea is incorporated into our<br />

fashions in several ways—as a<br />

detail of the garment itself, or<br />

as a separate accessory. Draperies<br />

and scarfs and capes and<br />

jabots—these are all details of a<br />

mode growing daily more intricate,<br />

and the fur-less coat, as<br />

well as many of the sports models<br />

in frocks and wraps, find the<br />

scarf collar a satisfactory style.<br />

Fluttering bits of material tell a<br />

story that is interesting reading.<br />

The separate scarf is a kerchief,<br />

either square or triangular,<br />

and it is most amazing what<br />

can be done with a piece of silk<br />

in either shape. Or, if a part of<br />

an evening costume, as it so<br />

often is, the square may be of<br />

net or lace. It is smart to trim<br />

the frock with a contrasting<br />

fabric, then tie a handkerchief<br />

square of the same fabric to the<br />

wrist. In the sports mode a<br />

shoulder scarf is duplicated in a<br />

belt made of another scarf; or<br />

the skirt matches the scarf; or<br />

the entire dress is made of these<br />

squares. They are smartly patterned<br />

in dots, squares, stripes,<br />

conventional or geometric designs,<br />

even adopting the modernistic<br />

patternings. It is typical<br />

of this vogue for scarfs that the<br />

coat of a sport ensemble is lined<br />

with a silk that repeats the pattern<br />

of the shoulder scarf.<br />

If the displays are anything to<br />

judge by, then we shall wear<br />

belts, this coming season. They<br />

are considered important enough<br />

to be made a part of the inevitable<br />

accessory ensemble, for<br />

bracelets and other ornaments<br />

match them. Metal belts in<br />

fancy chain, or ball-and-chain<br />

effect are offered; metal is combined<br />

with leather in attractive<br />

belts; and the usual leather belt,<br />

offered in an unusual guise, is<br />

present—braided; metal studded;<br />

or trimmed with ingenious<br />

appliques. Bracelets of braided<br />

leather match a belt in the same<br />

pattern; and the same is true of<br />

metal link bracelets. Another<br />

idea is to fasten the belt with a<br />

g<strong>org</strong>eous buckle or ornament<br />

and match this fastening to a<br />

bracelet, a necklace, a pin or<br />

some other ornament on the<br />

frock.<br />

The new handbags for Spring<br />

are already on display, and they<br />

are most interesting. New materials,<br />

colors, shapes and<br />

frames, of course; and many<br />

clever novelties. Sports attire,<br />

now that it has become a specialized<br />

department, demands handbags<br />

that are correct in both<br />

fabric and type. Kasha bags,<br />

many of them trimmed with a<br />

contrasting color and mounted<br />

on imitation shell frames, are designed<br />

for wear with the kasha<br />

cloth costume. Angora bags<br />

complement the angora ensemble,<br />

and there are many interest<br />

ing new grain leathers. Shark,<br />

alligator, calfskin, suede and<br />

lizard have a generous representation,<br />

and the shapes are<br />

oval, rectangular and pouch<br />

type. Frames use real or simu­<br />

lated shell; gilt cable; or quartz<br />

in the rose or jade tones.<br />

Spring may be counted upon<br />

to bring new shades, and this<br />

year, with the pastels assumingimportance,<br />

gray is good. There<br />

is a tone that reminds us of the<br />

plushy softness of the pussy willow,<br />

or the downy feathers of<br />

the dove, and it takes its name<br />

from the latter. There are coats<br />

and frocks and hats in this dove<br />

gray, which is a subtle tone and<br />

becoming to many, indeed, to<br />

anyone that can wear gray at all.<br />

Accessories harmonize or contrast<br />

in a harmonious way.<br />

Now that beige is no longer a<br />

shade, but a color, we are interested<br />

in its nuances. It would<br />

seem that this coming season we<br />

are to have a great deal of beige<br />

second is accurately played—to<br />

hold the green. At Number 4 is<br />

encountered the other extreme,<br />

a 140 yard iron shot to a slopinggreen<br />

that likewise requires a<br />

well placed tee-shot if one would<br />

avoid the adjoining traps. The<br />

course is interesting, requiring<br />

the player to have every shot at<br />

his command if he is after a<br />

score that will enable him to<br />

hold his own with the best of his<br />

fellow-golfers. With such a<br />

course, surrounded by natural<br />

beauty and rich in woodland,<br />

what more can any golfer ask ?<br />

Nelson Zimmerman, for nine<br />

years golf professional at the<br />

Westmoreland Country Club,<br />

has accepted the same post at<br />

the Wildwood Country Club and<br />

Ernest Loeffler is keeper of<br />

greens.<br />

As for the clubhouse itself, it<br />

is a charming English type, topping<br />

a knoll that gives it command<br />

of the surrounding course.<br />

From the porch one enters the<br />

great hall, at each end of which<br />

have been built immense open<br />

fireplaces of the natural field<br />

stone found on the club property.<br />

The hall is open to the<br />

roof. Also on the first floor are<br />

the dining-room, kitchen, pantry,<br />

the main lobby, a parlor for<br />

the women and the club office.<br />

On the second floor, at one end,<br />

are locker and shower-rooms for<br />

the women; at the other end are<br />

five rooms for servants. Situated<br />

in the basement are a lobby,<br />

grill-room, card-room, main locker-room,<br />

an auxiliary lockerroom,<br />

showers and boiler-room.<br />

The rooms are being attractively<br />

furnished, in keeping with country<br />

life and pleasures.<br />

On the Executive Committee<br />

of The Wildwood Country Club<br />

are Ge<strong>org</strong>e Wittmer, Jr., president<br />

"Diplomacy," opens its engagement<br />

at the Nixon Theatre Monday<br />

only. The production is made in<br />

honor of the golden jubilee anniversary<br />

of the play, which had<br />

its first American production at<br />

vaudeville to be presented at the<br />

Davis Theatre the week of<br />

March 5. The screen offeringwill<br />

be Will Eogers in "The<br />

Texas Steer."<br />

Charles Withers is a character<br />

comedian whose specialty is impersonating<br />

the manager of a<br />

rural opera house. Not only is<br />

he manager, but orchestra leader,<br />

stage crew and the entire<br />

executive staff. The character<br />

of "Silas Splivans, Manager," is<br />

as closely associated with Withers,<br />

as Rip Van Winkle was with<br />

the older Jefferson, but each season<br />

he carries him through a<br />

new series of events, thereby<br />

keeping the act alive.<br />

The face, figure and dancingability<br />

of the beautiful Vannessi,<br />

who comes escorted by the<br />

Gamble Boys and Sonny Hines,<br />

to give an exhibition of her skill,<br />

has been the talk of the Rialto<br />

for the past three seasons. Vannessi<br />

performs her high kicks,<br />

tap dancing, a lovely waltz and<br />

an interpretive dance, while the<br />

boys entertain with the song and<br />

dance.<br />

Ann Butler and Hal Parker<br />

will present a bright melange of<br />

song and patter; Chilton and<br />

Thomas, with their "Dance Sensations,"<br />

offer something different<br />

in fancy stepping; Frank<br />

Evers and Greta do thrillingstunts<br />

in their "Dance Creations<br />

on the Wire." Another act, not<br />

yet announced, will bring the<br />

vaudeville to a close.<br />

In the photoplay feature Will<br />

Rogers, comedian "congressmanat-large,"<br />

has a strong supporting<br />

cast in his tale of the Texas<br />

cattleman sent to congress<br />

against his will. News Reels<br />

shown.<br />

The jury chosen for this year,<br />

Nicholas Haz, of New York,<br />

Holmes I. Mettee, of Baltimore,<br />

week-end in Pittsburgh, deciding<br />

on the pictures eligible to this<br />

from far and near, including<br />

Japan, Australia, the Crimea,<br />

Germany, England, Uruguay<br />

submitted, about 340 have been<br />

accepted for the Salon. A number<br />

of Pittsburghers will be represented<br />

and many new names will<br />

be noted. There is an absence of<br />

many names with which the visitor<br />

to the preceding Salons has<br />

grown familiar. One of the exhibitors<br />

in the coming show was<br />

formerly a taxi-driver in New<br />

.EIGHTEEN minutes is the scheduled run from the Schenley<br />

section to the center of the downtown district by any Forbes<br />

street or Fifth avenue trolley. Just thirty minutes is the sched'<br />

uled length of run for the East Liberty' Downtown cars.<br />

(( Sometimes it is very difficult to adhere strictly to schedule.<br />

Then, generally the blame is traced to traffic jams, caused by the<br />

slower moving vehicles, accidents on the highways and storms<br />

or other factors beyond our control.<br />

(( As a factor in traffic relief, the street car has long been recog'<br />

nized as the most practical way of lessening congestion. For<br />

although more than half the people in the Triangle are brought<br />

by trolley, this conveyance makes up only about nine percent<br />

of the number of vehicles entering and leaving the Triangle.<br />

ness when the fabric of the<br />

frock is used for the purpose.<br />

They appear on one and twopiece<br />

dresses and on coats which<br />

are growing more elaborate with<br />

every passing season. We are<br />

having several questions, that<br />

always appear with every new<br />

season, satisfactorily answeied,<br />

among them the one that has to<br />

do with the tailleur. In the background<br />

of every mode this smart<br />

fashion lurks, but in some modes<br />

it is an outstanding vogue. Fashion<br />

promises us a new and glorified<br />

tailleur to smarten our new<br />

Spring wardrobe, and has already<br />

given us some most delightful<br />

interpretations of it.<br />

It is, in mo3t instances, a furless<br />

affair, and there are some<br />

unusual collars making their appearance,<br />

some of Ih.in with<br />

scarf ends. Of course the separate<br />

fur stole will be in demand<br />

when the collar is not too e'aborate.<br />

Coats are either threequarters<br />

or seven-eights length,<br />

and they gain in smartness what<br />

they lose in length. The cape is<br />

a feature of many of them and<br />

there are separate capes, which<br />

is welcome news. Of course the<br />

tailleur is really a specialized ensemble,<br />

and there will be many<br />

of the latter in every possible<br />

type, for it is the idea back of<br />

the entire mode. Matching materials<br />

and matching colors, with<br />

contrast supplied by another<br />

fabric or color, is a predominating<br />

theme, and the minor ensemble<br />

of accessories becomes a part<br />

of the major ensemble of fabrics,<br />

lines and colors.<br />

THE KAUFMANN-LOOBY<br />

SHOP OPENS<br />

A new-comer among the<br />

shops of Pittsburgh, The Kauimann-Looby<br />

firm's store in Fen.i<br />

Avenue, opened its doors to discriminating<br />

women shoppers<br />

Monday. Thousands of shoppers,<br />

among them a few men,<br />

gave their time and attention<br />

that day to this most attractive<br />

shop and what it has to offer.<br />

Beginning with the smartly liveried<br />

doormen, in royal blue and<br />

gold, whose atmosphere is carried<br />

on within the store by twenty<br />

pay-boys in blue and gold, replacing<br />

the cash-girls of yesterday<br />

in the shop-world, the discriminating<br />

shopper realizes<br />

that she is in pleasant surroundings;<br />

that she is in a shop that<br />

will not only take pleasure in<br />

catering to her needs but has perfumes, compacts of rare and<br />

the most exclusive things for intricate design and other<br />

those needs. The store is fin­ trifles, light as air, but so imished<br />

R A Y Dooley emerges as a<br />

full-fledged star in Eddie<br />

Dowling's "Sidewalks of<br />

New York," which Charles Dillingham<br />

will present at the Nixon<br />

Theatre for the week commencing<br />

Monday night, March<br />

12, after a long engagement at<br />

the Knickerbocker Theatre, New<br />

York. A gifted player, Miss<br />

Dooley will be revealed not only<br />

as an impish, rough-and-ready<br />

tomboy, but also as the possessor<br />

of powers to sway the deeper<br />

emotions.<br />

RAY DOOLEY<br />

In "Sidewalks of New York," which<br />

comes to the Nixon for the week<br />

of March I 2.<br />

"Sidewalks of New York"<br />

comes here with the warmest<br />

critical commendation of the<br />

New York critics. It was described<br />

as a kaleidoscopic entertainment<br />

filled to overflowing<br />

with clever players, vaudevillians,<br />

singers and dancers, and<br />

acclaimed because of its wit and<br />

humor, dashing and spirited<br />

melodies, appealing songs, dancing<br />

features and ensembles.<br />

Eddie Dowling wrote the play<br />

and the music was contributed<br />

by Jimmy Hanley. They collaborated<br />

on "Honeymoon Lane,"<br />

Dowling's whirlwind success of<br />

this and last season.<br />

Miss Dooley, as an orphan girl<br />

in love with a budding architect<br />

taken from a home by a wealthy<br />

friend of the Governor of New<br />

York, has never been seen to better<br />

advantage. With characteristic<br />

prodigality Mr . Dillingham<br />

has mounted the production and<br />

cast the company. Among the<br />

hundred odd entertainers are<br />

Smith and Dale, Fiske O'Hara,<br />

Elizabeth Murray, Linda, Ruby<br />

Keeler, Dick Keene, Jim Thornton,<br />

Josephine Sabel, Calm and<br />

Gale, Barney Fagan, Will and<br />

Gladys Ahern, Frank Kingdon,<br />

Harry Short, Winifred Harris,<br />

Carl Francis, Cecil Owen, Henry<br />

Dowling and an excellent dancing<br />

chorus.<br />

Edgar MacGregor staged the<br />

extravaganza and Earl Lindsay<br />

arranged the dances.<br />

STANLEY<br />

Emil Jannings, one of the<br />

greatest character actors of the<br />

stage or screen today, is the star<br />

of "The Last Command," the<br />

feature photoplay scheduled for<br />

the week of March 12, at the<br />

new Stanley Theatre. It is a<br />

story of the red revolt in Russia,<br />

showing Jannings as a mighty<br />

general, strictly military, but beloved<br />

by his men. He befriends<br />

SOPHIE TUCKER<br />

Will be the stage attraction at the<br />

Stanley next week.<br />

a girl, but imprisons her companion.<br />

The girl, in turn, saves<br />

him from death at the hands of<br />

revolutionists. He then comes<br />

to America in search of his rescuer<br />

and the story takes an unusual<br />

twist. Supporting the star<br />

is a capable cast including Evelyn<br />

Brent, William Powell, Nicholas<br />

Soussanin and Michael Visaroff.<br />

The international singing<br />

comedienne, Sophie Tucker, has<br />

been engaged as the stage attraction.<br />

With her in the act are<br />

her son, Bert Tucker, and the<br />

Six Tivoli Girls. They will present<br />

a lively act of music and<br />

dances with Miss Tucker as the<br />

leading spirit. News Pictures<br />

will be included in the program.<br />

DAVIS<br />

The Keith-Albee vaudeville<br />

program at the Davis Theatre<br />

next week will be headed by<br />

Nick Lucas, "The Crooning<br />

Troubador," and the screen attraction<br />

announced is "Peaks of<br />

Destiny."<br />

Lucas became known first as a<br />

phonograph artist and his name<br />

became a household word because<br />

of the manner in which he<br />

put over his songs. "Crooning"<br />

on the stage may be said to have<br />

originated with this popular<br />

singer, though other artists<br />

have since adopted it. In his<br />

act he will give a program of his<br />

Record Song Hits.<br />

Another act of importance is<br />

Rodrigo and Lila, who come<br />

direct from London and Paris to<br />

offer a series of dances interestingly<br />

assembled into a picturesque<br />

program of international<br />

flavor.<br />

Coram, England's Premier<br />

Ventriloquist, with Jerry, will<br />

present "Whitehall, London."<br />

The scene is a replica of the<br />

"Horse Guards," one of England's<br />

historical landmarks,<br />

where thousands of people go<br />

daily to watch the changing of<br />

guards. Coram and Jerry are<br />

troopers in this famous regiment.<br />

The little dummy is an<br />

ingenious piece of mechanism,<br />

constructed so that its arms,<br />

legs and head move like a human<br />

being. Coram is more than a<br />

ventriloquist. He has a super<br />

developed sense of humor. Other<br />

acts scheduled are Eileen and<br />

Marjorie, in miraculous tumbles<br />

; Harry Bentell and Helen<br />

Gould, the Dancing Xylophonists,<br />

and the Three Swifts, in<br />

clever juggling stunts.<br />

try-side, with usually the glint<br />

of brook or creek; pastures, a<br />

group of trees, or a seascape,<br />

that he paints. Here and there<br />

he introduces life in the human<br />

figure, but this is rare and if<br />

there is life at all it is in flocks<br />

of sheep or small herds of gentle,<br />

placid cows. Quaint Dutch fishing<br />

boats ride at anchor in some<br />

of his things, in others a brightsailed<br />

boat skims before the<br />

breeze. Gruppe's canvases<br />

bring the message of the peace<br />

and serenity that nature offers<br />

in the quiet places.<br />

Vol. LVII. March 17, 192S No. 11<br />

Managers of the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh<br />

are making an urgent appeal to the people of Allegheny<br />

County for contributions to an annual maintenance<br />

fund of $75,000, which is badly needed to<br />

properly carry on the work of the in-<br />

Children stitution and prevent further suffering<br />

among poor sick and crippled children.<br />

The little Children's Hospital on Forbes Strest grew<br />

into the hearts of the people of Pittsburgh by its<br />

wonderful work of 40 years among the children of<br />

the poor. Demands upon it became so insistent and<br />

widespread that several years ago it became affiliated<br />

with the University of Pittsburgh and a year ago it<br />

moved into its new and modern building at Fifth<br />

Avenue and DeSota Street. The tremendous appeal<br />

which reached the hearts of the people of Western<br />

Pennsylvania still exists but in far greater degree.<br />

There are larger numbers of afflicted children who<br />

must continue to suffer unless this hospital reaches<br />

out and gives them proper medical, surgical and<br />

nursing attention. There is naturally greater operating<br />

expense. The splendid work in pathology and<br />

research, the teaching of medical students and nurses<br />

and the continuing better knowledge of what to do<br />

and how to do it in saving poor children from lives<br />

of misery and suffering more than justify all that<br />

is being expended. The hospital is doing the work.<br />

The need is for a large group of liberal and philanthropic<br />

men and women to back the institution to<br />

enable it to continue doing the work which is required<br />

of it and doing it well. Eighty percent of<br />

its cases are charity. That tells the tale. Without<br />

the liberality of those with plenty the suffering of<br />

poor children in Western Pennsylvania afflicted and<br />

crippled and without possibility of medical and<br />

surgical care otherwise could not be measured. They<br />

are saying pretty mean things about Pittsburgh and<br />

Pittsburghers just now in relation to the treatment<br />

of suffering women and children who happen to be<br />

victims of an industrial struggle. We know that<br />

these damaging statements are untrue and we know<br />

THE INDEX, Saturday, March 17, 1928 5<br />

at the same time that they are besmirching the good ask yourself why these Pittsburghers are made the<br />

name for tender sympathy, continuing generosity victims of every vituperative tongue even in their<br />

and real philanthropy of the people of Pittsburgh own home when some selfish interest elsewhere feels<br />

and Western Pennsylvania. We have an example at called upon to heap abuse. How long can Pittsburgh<br />

hand where we can reveal to the world just how we stand this sort of thing? If you were seeking to<br />

handle a situation which involves suffering and de- build a large industrial plant giving employment to<br />

mauds liberality on our part. Give liberally to the<br />

maintenance fund of the Children's Hospital and do<br />

it without delay.<br />

A. W. MELLON<br />

Secretary of the Treasury, who has won the admiration<br />

of the world because of his masterly conduct of<br />

his country's financial affairs, has been made the object<br />

of venomous attacks at Washington in an effort<br />

to discredit his splendid work and injure the prestige<br />

of his administration and his party. So far he has<br />

vanquished his enemies and revealed qualities of character<br />

seldom found in public life.<br />

We cannot escape the thought that the Spirit of<br />

Pittsburgh is a peculiar and wonderful thing'. Most<br />

of us were thrilled and made envious by the Spirit<br />

of St. Louis which sent an intrepid young man by<br />

air across the Atlantic into lasting<br />

Pittsburgh fame. Behind the mask of jealousy<br />

with which we observe the steady progress<br />

of Cleveland we cannot escape the real admiration<br />

for the splendid co-operation and community<br />

loyalty it has welded into a habit. Once a worthy<br />

public project is launched all interests fall into step<br />

and work enthusiastically together to bring about<br />

success. F<strong>org</strong>etting- for the time being the distressing<br />

situation involved in absentee ownership and<br />

direction, what is the state of affairs in Pittsburgh ?<br />

Some faction or interest springs upon the public<br />

something which is sensational but at the same time<br />

harmful to the reputation and prestige of the district<br />

and detrimental to the progress and prosperity<br />

of the people. Does a jealous regard for the good<br />

name and welfare of the community temper the<br />

passions which surge to make a great conflagration<br />

out of the smoldering embers ? Stop and think and<br />

answer the question yourself. Run over in your<br />

mind the families and groups which have stood by<br />

Pittsburgh and poured their money into new industries<br />

and larger factories, giving employment<br />

each year to thousands more men and women. Then<br />

thousands of individuals, or a small one, would you<br />

want to do it here under present conditions? Industries<br />

seek sites where there is a measure of fair<br />

play and some protection from outside trouble<br />

makers. They do not hunger after localities where<br />

they will be compelled to fight for the rights which<br />

should be theirs without question. They do not invest<br />

where the disposition is to pit the employe<br />

against the employer and then side with the employe<br />

irrespective of the unjust position he may have taken.<br />

Proud as we are of Pittsburgh it is a bitter pill to<br />

swallow but we might just as well realize now that<br />

we are faced in the wrong direction as later on when<br />

the consequences may be more serious. To cap the<br />

climax of slime and filth which has been thrown,<br />

"Miss Pittsburgh" had to go to a so-called rival city<br />

and get arrested. The Spirit of Pittsburgh!<br />

Pittsburgh has been the victim of the most unjust<br />

and untrue blackguarding ever received by any community.<br />

The purpose is so apparent that all must<br />

see. In an effort to besmirch the character and good<br />

intent of one of the most illustrious<br />

Statesmen public servants who ever dedicated his<br />

services to his country the assailants<br />

of Pittsburgh have been willing to go to almost any<br />

lengths. They do not care for the great Secretary<br />

of the Treasury but they do care for his tremendous<br />

popularity with the American people and his prestige<br />

which has been helpful to the Republican party. It<br />

is anything now to overthrow the party in power at<br />

Washington and replace it out of the motley and<br />

pusillanimous crew which has drifted there from the<br />

wilds of everywhere and is trying to be statesmanlike.<br />

There is one thing with which the committee<br />

investigating the coal strike situation seems imbued.<br />

That is that it is a crime for a workingman to choose<br />

his own employer and be satisfied with the wage and<br />

his relation with that employer. We always thought<br />

that the greatness and prosperity and progress of<br />

this country grew out of the right of the men and<br />

women to worship as they pleased and work as they<br />

pleased as long as they did not violate law or interfere<br />

with the peace and happiness of their fellowmen<br />

or fellowwomen. Now these investigators from<br />

Washing-ton come in from states scarcely larger in<br />

population than good sized Pennsylvania wards and<br />

leave the impression that a man must belong to a<br />

union and be bossed by a leader before he is a<br />

regular, recognized workman under the law. We always<br />

thought there was plenty of room for both.<br />

If a man does not care to belong to an <strong>org</strong>anization<br />

and his employer is content to employ him and he<br />

is satisfied with his employment that is his business.<br />

And the same is true with the man who wants to<br />

be a member of a union and with the employer who<br />

is satisfied with the affiliation and the relation. We<br />

always thought that, when the one interfered with<br />

the other, it was time for the law to step in and not<br />

before. The Senate investigating committee has left<br />

a peculiar impression which in the judgment of many<br />

will prevent any real results from all of the turmoil<br />

it is creating.


THE INDEX, Saturday, March 17, 1928<br />

# #<br />

O N E by one the dates for Spring and<br />

June wedding's are being announced,<br />

to be followed in due season with the<br />

personnel of bridal parties—always providing<br />

interesting speculation and chat, especially<br />

when out of town members are concerned—<br />

and usually a gay round of entertaining before<br />

the ceremony takes place. Miss Eleanor<br />

Lovelace Winter, daughter of Mrs. Frederick<br />

W. Winter, of Beechwood Boulevard, has<br />

chosen the fourth Saturday in June—the<br />

twenty-third, as the date for her marriage<br />

to Mr. John Birge, son of Mr. and Mrs.<br />

Nathan R. Birge, of Schenectady, New York.<br />

Mrs. William Henry Siviter, of North Dithl'idge<br />

Street, has returned home after several<br />

weeks at Ormond Beach, Florida; Summerville,<br />

North Carolina, and Washington.<br />

Mr. and Mrs. Ge<strong>org</strong>e Phelps Rose, of Thorn<br />

Street, Sewickley, announce the marriage of<br />

their daughter, Mrs. Sara Rose Frick, of<br />

Sewickley, to Mr. James William Benning,<br />

Jr., of Penticton, British Columbia, and Montreal,<br />

son of Mr. and Mrs. James William<br />

Benning, of Montreal, which took place in<br />

the First Presbyterian Church, Augusta,<br />

Ge<strong>org</strong>ia, Saturday, March the tenth. The<br />

Rev. Dr. F. Crossley M<strong>org</strong>an performed the<br />

ceremony at one o'clock. The bride, who<br />

entered the church with her father, wore an<br />

ensemble costume of mid-night blue bastia<br />

cloth, with close-fitting hat of dark blue<br />

straw and scarf of silver fox. Her flowers<br />

wore orchids and lilies of the valley. Mr.<br />

Jacob H. Lowrey served as Mr. Benning's<br />

best man. Easter lilies decorated the church<br />

for the ceremony, immediately after which<br />

Mr. and Mrs. Benning left for the North.<br />

They will spend part of their honeymoon on<br />

Mr. Benning's ranch in Penticton but will<br />

come to Sewickley before going on to Canada.<br />

The guests, limited to relatives and a few<br />

intimate friends, included Mr. and Mrs. Rose,<br />

Miss Lillian Rose, Mr. and Mrs. William E.<br />

Frick, Mr. and Mrs. Richard T. Frick, Mr.<br />

and Mrs. J. Bernd Rose, all of Sewickley; Mr.<br />

and Mrs. Benning, Mr. and Mrs. James T.<br />

McGill, of Montreal; Mrs. Howard Heinz, of<br />

Pittsburgh, and Mrs. Alexander Revell, of<br />

Chicago.<br />

Mr. and Mrs. Rose gave a luncheon in the<br />

Augusta Country Club the day preceding the<br />

wedding and that evening Mr. Lowrey was<br />

host at a dinner. Monday evening, March<br />

fifth, the senior Mr. and Mrs. Benning gave<br />

a dinner, entertaining a dozen guests at the<br />

Bon Air-Vanderbilt at which their son and<br />

his fiancee and Sir Robert and Lady Borden,<br />

of Ottawa, shared honors.<br />

Mrs. Benning's first husband was Captain<br />

William Ward Frick, of Sewickley, who<br />

served overseas and lost his life in the World<br />

War. Mr. Benning left Yale to enlist in the<br />

Tenth Canadian Siege Battery. He is a mem­<br />

10 THE INDEX, Saturday, March 17, 1928<br />

S p r i n g Is R e a l l y H e r e !<br />

We nave seen the first robin and the first patch oi $reen sward.<br />

Suddenly our winter clothes become vercj old.<br />

bu Blanche Sears Emerson<br />

W E do not have to look<br />

at the calendar to<br />

know that it is Spring,<br />

for it is in the air. There may<br />

be a time when the fur coat will<br />

give a welcome warmth to the<br />

costume, for it can be worn over<br />

the suit quite comfortably; but<br />

it is Spring just the same in our<br />

hearts and in the shops—it has<br />

been Spring there for many<br />

days. All at once the importance<br />

of a new wardrobe overshadows<br />

everything else; there must be<br />

new raiment; there must be a<br />

new smartness; there must be a<br />

solution of every social problem,<br />

so far as dress is concerned.<br />

With utter skepticism—later to<br />

be confirmed—we get out the<br />

"perfectly good" last season's<br />

frock or suit; the suit we purchased<br />

with an assured feeling<br />

that it would "do" this year; and<br />

hopefully study its lines.<br />

Now it is quite true that there<br />

are no radical changes from season<br />

to season. But there is constant<br />

change going on all the<br />

time—subtle, indefinite, but decidedly<br />

important. It may not<br />

seem so very great in the three<br />

months that elapse between<br />

Winter and Spring; but in the<br />

twelve months that have passed<br />

from one Spring to another the<br />

whole surface of things has completely<br />

altered. There are certain<br />

permanencies, of course, the<br />

classics of fashion, but they are<br />

bounded on all four sides by<br />

things new, making them all the<br />

more noticeable by contrast. If<br />

you had a new little tailleur—<br />

short coat; straight skirt; mantailored<br />

finish; last Spring, then<br />

you may wear it this Spring. It<br />

would be the same with certain<br />

types of coats and two-piece<br />

frocks.<br />

A year ago we had little, if<br />

any thought of the elegancies of<br />

fashions in the latter part of the<br />

century just passed. Now we are<br />

constantly being reminded of<br />

something that we consider oldfashioned;<br />

but our reminiscing<br />

does not prevent us from the<br />

adoption of whatever feature it<br />

may be. A year ago we recognized<br />

the importance of the<br />

sports theme, accepting some<br />

version of it for every daytime<br />

occasion and for early informal<br />

affairs. Now we recognize that<br />

importance in connection with<br />

sports events, only. When we<br />

travel or motor or shop along<br />

the avenues of fashion, we wear<br />

a tailored suit, differing in many<br />

ways from the real sport ensemble.<br />

It is not a mere fancy, this<br />

changed situation; it goes far<br />

deeper than that; is far more<br />

important.<br />

We will call it, for want of a<br />

better name, the new theme of<br />

elegance; the expression of the<br />

formal theme in various guises;<br />

the feminine theme. It is evidenced<br />

by a frill of lace on a<br />

frock that is unmistakeably tailored<br />

in its intent; or by a graceful,<br />

flowing skirt with rare<br />

beauty of line in its ripples. It<br />

is achieved by new textiles and<br />

new colors; both the best that<br />

weavers and dyers have been<br />

able to offer. There are wool<br />

fabrics so soft and supple that<br />

they are almost as light of<br />

weight as silk; and every material<br />

that we have ever known is<br />

presented in a form that permits<br />

of much manipulation and clever<br />

artistry. Simplicity of line is retained,<br />

but it is concealed in<br />

drapes that we find hard to explain<br />

; in erratic hemlines; in<br />

pleats and folds.<br />

One somehow has the feeling<br />

that designers have gone just as<br />

far as they dare along the backward<br />

way to the sixties; the<br />

eighties; the nineties. We suspect<br />

them of favoring the longer<br />

skirt; the normal waistline; the<br />

princesse silhouette. Not, necessarily,<br />

the ankle-length skirt,<br />

for the modern woman would<br />

not accept it; not the constricted<br />

waist, but the line that is higher<br />

than we have known these many<br />

seasons; not the strictly moulded<br />

silhouette, but the suggestive<br />

line that is not wholly straight;<br />

these are tendencies plain to see.<br />

There is, also, an inclination to<br />

touch with elegance even the<br />

simplest garment, making it a<br />

party to the general dignity that<br />

prevails in more formal attire.<br />

This is best evidenced in the<br />

( AN ADDRESS of DISTINCTION<br />


sweater, now part of the sweater<br />

costume.<br />

This garment is, of course, an<br />

integral factor in sports attire,<br />

and it is gaining daily in importance,<br />

arriving already at a distinction<br />

that is exceptional. We<br />

see it in combination with tweed<br />

and the more dressy wools,<br />

achieving- something of formality.<br />

And we find it is an ensemble<br />

all its own, made up wholly<br />

of knit fabrics — a skirt; a<br />

sweater; and a cardigan. Then<br />

there is the favorite combination<br />

of several seasons' standing—<br />

the silk crepe skirt and the<br />

sweater of silk or fine wool. At<br />

times rayon is woven into the<br />

pattern. Stripes, polka dots,<br />

geometrical designs, and all<br />

manner of patterns are worked<br />

out in the various stitches,<br />

diagonal effects specially good,<br />

for they are frequently carried<br />

out in several tones of a smart<br />

color.<br />

The skilful designer can do<br />

wonders with so simple a thing<br />

as a length of Ge<strong>org</strong>ette—and it<br />

will, probably, be of a somber<br />

tone, as middy or navy blue. She<br />

will fashion a two-piece frock of<br />

it, pleating the skirt in accordeon<br />

fashion, dipping the hemline<br />

into a smart irregularity. The<br />

jumper will be simple enough in<br />

line, but it will be alternately<br />

tucked and fagotted; its neckline<br />

will be irregular; and it will be<br />

belted in the same material, the<br />

belt finished with a brilliant<br />

buckle of exquisite workmanship.<br />

The result will be a "tailored<br />

frock" for it will be the<br />

utmost in simplicity, yet it will<br />

not resemble the tailored frock<br />

of several seasons ago in even<br />

the slightest degree. Richness,<br />

dignity, elegance and an exquisite<br />

femininity will characterize<br />

it.<br />

The really plain little model<br />

does not exist, if one becomes at<br />

all analytical of the models that<br />

seem plain. There will be some<br />

little detail that will raise them<br />

to dignity without effecting simplicity.<br />

Tucks, slot-seams, a rim<br />

of color in so small a thing as a<br />

button, covered with the material<br />

of the dress; in these oddities<br />

there is distinction. And<br />

the business of fluttering ends,<br />

expressed in scarfs, draperies,<br />

odd little jackets and capes are<br />

all factors in this new elegance.<br />

Elaboration, applied with restraint,<br />

is seen; fine embroideries<br />

on a blouse, worn with a<br />

plain skirt, give color harmony;<br />

jabots and bows and various<br />

original neck treatments are all<br />

favorites with the originators of<br />

our fashions. It is surely a<br />

highly specialized mode.<br />

The conservative, tailored coat<br />

model is in the minority. In<br />

sports attire we find the raglan<br />

coat and certain expressions of<br />

the simple, straight line model.<br />

In the tailored group there are<br />

many simple coats, but they<br />

possess intricate details subordinated<br />

to simplicity. The separate<br />

coat, as the mode likes it<br />

best, is dated 1928 in indelible<br />

figures, for it has idiosyncrasies<br />

that will not appear in even the<br />

late Summer models, and will be<br />

completely f<strong>org</strong>otten when<br />

Spring 1929 makes its appearance.<br />

Cape coats; these with<br />

scarf treatments; and the type<br />

that applies fur in odd ways;<br />

these are all unusual. Probably<br />

the smartest of the three is the<br />

coat that is caped, whether it be<br />

a half cape; a cape depending<br />

from a yoke; or two capes that<br />

started out to be sleeves.<br />

The same characteristics are<br />

found in the smaller things of<br />

the wardrobe. Niceties of finish,<br />

combined with beautiful materials<br />

and the popular garment<br />

colors, serve the purpose admirably.<br />

Hats take on a subtle elegance<br />

that disguises itself as<br />

simplicity. There are the odd<br />

little close hats, many of them<br />

brimless, that dally with a coquettish<br />

veil; the hats that give<br />

one the appearance of skeptically<br />

lifting an eyebrow; and the<br />

always dependable, but extremely<br />

different cloche shapes. Beautiful<br />

fabrics, touched with elegance<br />

in a trimming motif, are<br />

responsible for beauty of effect.<br />

It will be well to watch the detail<br />

of the veil—already it is appearing<br />

in longer and wider<br />

shapes, but losing nothing of its<br />

daintiness as it increases in size.<br />

Shoes, also, give the effect of<br />

simplicity, and they form a close<br />

partnership, in many instances,<br />

with handbags. Not only fabric<br />

and color are the same, but the<br />

trimming motif and the type<br />

agree. There are some wonderful<br />

leathers; some fine fabrics;<br />

some original shapes offered.<br />

Too much stress cannot be laid<br />

on the importance of using care<br />

in the selection of costume details.<br />

No longer will one care­<br />

fully-thought-out ensemble do<br />

for morning and afternoon.<br />

There must be sports shoes,<br />

hats, handbags, gloves—even<br />

jewelry, for the sports costume.<br />

Another ensemble will be needed<br />

for tailored things; and neither<br />

M a r y Cassatt M e m o r i a l Exhibition In C a r n e g i e Galleries<br />

"PORTRAIT OF MRS. ROBERT S. CASSATT" MOTHER AND CHILD" "GARDNER CASSATT"<br />

Paintings included in the Mary Cass att Memorial Exhibition which opened this week in the galleries of the Carnegie Institute.<br />

C A R N E G I E Institute honors<br />

a Pittsburgher and<br />

one of the best woman<br />

artists of all time in its exhibition<br />

of Paintings, Pastels, and<br />

Prints by Mary Cassatt which<br />

opened in the Second Floor Galleries<br />

on Thursday. Miss Cassatt<br />

is perhaps best-known for<br />

her interpretations of motherhood<br />

and childhood. No other<br />

artist has so sympathetically<br />

portrayed the mother and child<br />

without succumbing to sentimentality.<br />

Few of the women Mary Cassatt<br />

painted were beautiful, but<br />

they all had a wholesome charm<br />

and a glowing healthfulness. The<br />

mother with her child is shown<br />

in many poses. Sometimes we<br />

see her bathing a small child, or<br />

sitting in the garden adoring the<br />

baby on her knee. She fingers a<br />

banjo while the child leans on<br />

her shoulder. She is reading a<br />

book to three children clustered<br />

about her. Or she sits in utter<br />

peace in her boudoir, her child<br />

curled in her lap. For Mary Cassatt<br />

motherhood must have been<br />

the most beautiful thing in the<br />

world. How else could she have<br />

expressed it with such deep<br />

understanding and tenderness?<br />

The painting "Lady at the Tea<br />

Table," lent by the Metropolitan<br />

Museum, shows a woman in a<br />

dark gown, a bit of white lace<br />

about her head, sitting at a table<br />

on which are blue china teapot,<br />

cups and saucers. Slender, rather<br />

bony, but aristocratic fingers<br />

are clasping the handle of the<br />

teapot. The woman is not pretty,<br />

but the painting is beautiful in<br />

texture, arrangement and design.<br />

In the Self-Portrait Miss Cassatt<br />

has painted herself in a<br />

white gown and a brown bonnet<br />

crowned with flowers. She leans<br />

on cushions. Her slender body<br />

and delicate features do not indicate<br />

her indomitable and<br />

steadfast spirit and her sharp<br />

impatience with dilettantes and<br />

loafers. During the years she<br />

spent in Paris, particularly in<br />

the earlier days, she was a flame<br />

for young artists who thronged<br />

her studio and marveled at her<br />

powers of concentration.<br />

Another painting which does<br />

not have motherhood for its subject<br />

is called "At the Opera."<br />

There in the darkness of a box<br />

a woman is shown, opera glass<br />

held to her eyes, leaning- on the<br />

railing. Her profile is clear<br />

against the illuminated balustrade.<br />

Figures in the other boxes<br />

are suggested but the lovely<br />

contour of this woman's face<br />

dominates the canvas.<br />

In addition to the paintings, a<br />

fine collection of Mary Cassatt's<br />

etchings and aquatints occupy<br />

the Balcony of the Hall of Sculpture.<br />

Here again are the familiar<br />

subjects, homely and domestic<br />

mothers, calm and placid of<br />

feature, and agreeable, healthy<br />

children. In each print her<br />

superb draftsmanship recalls the<br />

remark Degas is said to have<br />

made while gazing at one of<br />

Mary Cassatt's pictures: "I will<br />

not admit that a woman can<br />

draw as well as that."<br />

The aquatints have a strong-<br />

Japanese flavor. Miss Cassatt<br />

was greatly attracted to the art<br />

of Japan and the influence is apparent.<br />

Simplicity of line, graceful<br />

curves and clear colors are<br />

characteristics of the colored<br />

aquatints. There are several<br />

prints showing the various<br />

states; for instance, one of a<br />

mother bathing- her child. We<br />

see in the first one only the yellow<br />

tint of the mother's gown;<br />

in another the child's flesh has<br />

been colored; and in a third the<br />

basin has acquired a deep blue<br />

hue.<br />

In looking at the paintings<br />

and prints of Mary Cassatt it is<br />

difficult to believe that they were<br />

done in the last half of the nineteenth<br />

century. The note she<br />

struck is as much a trumpet call<br />

for the moderns of today as were<br />

tlie paintings of Degas and<br />

Manet with whom she exhibited<br />

in Paris. Her life, too, seemed<br />

oddly out of key with the traditions<br />

of the 'fifties.<br />

Although Mary Cassatt was<br />

born in Pittsburgh her family<br />

moved to Philadelphia when she<br />

was quite young. She must have<br />

inherited her independence of<br />

thought from her father. For<br />

Robert Cassatt took his family<br />

to Europe when Mary was about<br />

six years of age, to give his five<br />

children a European education.<br />

This was a unique undertaking<br />

in those days. On their return,<br />

five years later, Mary Cassatt<br />

studied for a short time at the<br />

Pennsylvania Academy. This<br />

was her only formal art training.<br />

Then she was drawn irresistibly<br />

to Europe again and to the galleries<br />

of Spain, Belgium and<br />

Italy, where she steeped herself<br />

in Velasquez, Correggio, Vermeer<br />

and others whom she admired<br />

intensely. For a time she<br />

exhibited in the salons of Paris<br />

until the new group, called the<br />

"Impressionists," including<br />

Degas and Manet, invited her to<br />

exhibit with them.<br />

In Paris Mary Cassatt continued<br />

to live until her death in<br />

1926. Her last years were shadowed<br />

by her gradually increasing<br />

blindness. But even to the<br />

end she preserved her passionate<br />

devotion to art and her scorn for<br />

those who prostituted their talents.<br />

Mary Cassatt was a great<br />

artist, but she was so much more<br />

than that. She was above all a<br />

human being, and a great personality.<br />

The following remarks<br />

by Ge<strong>org</strong>e Biddle, who knew her<br />

well and visited her shortly before<br />

her death, may throw light<br />

on the character of this unusual<br />

woman:<br />

"She was a great and passionate<br />

idealist, the rare human being<br />

who could divert all her passion<br />

into her work and ideas. She<br />

did not have to "live" her art.<br />

"Art is a recreation of life,<br />

and enhances life by its power to<br />

make us live anew. Miss Cassatt,<br />

more than any man I ever<br />

knew, through the youthful intensity<br />

of her feeling, could<br />

make her hearer share her enthusiasm<br />

for and her faith in<br />

ideas. If it is possible to love a<br />

purely detached enthusiasm,<br />

then I loved this prim old Phila-<br />

she would sit in her white<br />

she was devoted: After all,<br />

invest it wisely or keep it long. The temptation is to<br />

spend it quickly. That is why so many women and children<br />

for whom life insurance was purchased as a protection<br />

find within a few years that the money has taken wings<br />

THE turn in the fashion<br />

tide is definitely accomplished<br />

with the passing<br />

of Lent. The old rule of a new<br />

hat on Easter Sunday has become<br />

a more comprehensive edict,<br />

and attention is turned to the<br />

entire costume at this time. The<br />

broad avenues of the big cities<br />

are thronged, when the weather<br />

is fine, with smartly clad women,<br />

displaying the most-up-to-date<br />

of the new season's offerings.<br />

this. They have not become<br />

The observer can learn, from<br />

this display, just what is smartest<br />

and most likely to be popular<br />

through the coming months.<br />

And it has been many years<br />

since a new mode has offered as<br />

much in the way of beauty—<br />

never has there been the variety<br />

in so many departments of the<br />

wardrobe. And quite as baautiful<br />

in their sphere as the lilies of<br />

the field, the new models will<br />

grace the annual fashion parade.<br />

"Solomon, in all his glory, was<br />

not arrayed like one of these;"<br />

true enough in many ways!<br />

Years of experimentation have<br />

borne rich harvest in the fundamentals<br />

of our fashions—our<br />

fabrics and our colors. With<br />

each new season we are offered<br />

exhibitions of materials, both<br />

familiar and unfamiliar, that<br />

make possible new treatments<br />

and new effects. Weaves that<br />

have been held sacred to strictly<br />

formal clothes are now found in<br />

the garb of informality; while<br />

garments hitherto classed as<br />

utility are glorified so greatly<br />

that, they approach the formal.<br />

All fashion is touched with the<br />

magic wand of elegance, variously<br />

described as feminine, luxurious,<br />

formal. Youth, that can<br />

wear everything, profits by this<br />

change; the young matron finds<br />

it intriguing; but maturity<br />

profits most.<br />

Tweed, jersey and the knitted<br />

materials were, once upon a time,<br />

the stuffs of usefulness, with<br />

little beauty to recommend<br />

them. Novelty wools of all sorts<br />

were associated with the sports<br />

and outdoor mode and nothing<br />

else; but time has changed all<br />

formal fabrics, but they insinuate<br />

their new beauty into situaations<br />

they would not have<br />

dared, five seasons ago. And<br />

tweed is far and away the most<br />

popular wool on the market. It<br />

is called a sports fabric and a<br />

tailored material, both; and it<br />

takes only a change from a<br />

sweater, to a blouse of silk, to<br />

transform a sports suit into a<br />

newer style trends and invites uour inspection now<br />

tailored or "town" ensemble, and<br />

that without changing accessories,<br />

if one is clever in her original<br />

selection of handbag, shoes,<br />

hat and gloves.<br />

Separate coats are to be had<br />

as a nucleus for several ensembles,<br />

and the woman with discrimination<br />

can make one coat<br />

do for every daytime purpose except<br />

formal afternoon affairs.


Yet—it is rather nice to have a<br />

coat, say of the raglan variety,<br />

for wear over one's costume on<br />

occasions—it can do duty with<br />

the riding habit; for travel; for<br />

any number of general occasions;<br />

and it will be a single<br />

garment quite apart from the<br />

ensemble coat. Into the general<br />

tailored mode certain afternoon<br />

fabrics have made their way—<br />

satin, crepe, Ge<strong>org</strong>ette and the<br />

silks that tailor well. One and<br />

two-piece dresses of these materials<br />

are the logical accompaniment<br />

to the tailored coat<br />

which may be in the same color;<br />

a darker shade or in contrast—<br />

which brings us to printed silks.<br />

If one were to check up on the<br />

new ensemble costumes displayed<br />

throughout this country<br />

on Easter morning, there would<br />

probably be two to every one—<br />

printed silk to plain—when it<br />

comes to the frock of the outfit.<br />

After trying out every possible<br />

combination, in the ensemble,<br />

from an exact match of coat and<br />

dress to the costume that subtly<br />

identifies the one with the other,<br />

fashion gave up her experiments<br />

and gave designers carte blanche<br />

to do any thing they pleased. Result<br />

— exact matches; subtle<br />

trimming links; contrasts between<br />

dress and coat, with a<br />

touch of the dress fabric on the<br />

coat or vice versa; in fact, a<br />

wide variety from which one can<br />

choose. As is always the case<br />

some one idea is featured more<br />

than others—and this season it<br />

is the printed-plain combination.<br />

Spring not only brings printed<br />

fabrics, each year, but it brings<br />

new designs in these prints and<br />

adds new materials to the list<br />

that takes this type of decoration.<br />

Each year we say that the<br />

offerings are lovelier than they<br />

have ever been, and the next<br />

year we find further progress<br />

along the path to beauty. So it<br />

is not strange that this new<br />

mode of femininity and charm<br />

should find a new glory in these<br />

effective fabrics. A plain coat—<br />

that is, a coat in a solid color, is<br />

worn with a frock of printed<br />

silk, and the former is lined with<br />

the latter, in many of the<br />

models. Or there may be a scarf<br />

tie of the dress material on the<br />

coat; or a cape lined with it.<br />

And probably there are more<br />

polka dotted patterns than any<br />

other in the print display.<br />

This vogue extends through<br />

the daytime or tailored ensemble<br />

to the formal costume for afternoon<br />

uses. The coat will be silk<br />

--moire specially smart—and<br />

the frock will be Ge<strong>org</strong>ette or<br />

chiffon; and it will develop that<br />

patterns for these fabrics are<br />

different from those used on the<br />

heavier materials. It is something<br />

of a coincidence that while<br />

we are talking of pliability in<br />

fabrics, the stiffer silks are being<br />

featured. In evening attire<br />

we have the model of sheer softness<br />

and the one that has bouffant<br />

lines, made of a material<br />

with "body" to it. It all goes to<br />

prove that designers are not letting<br />

anything that is really<br />

beautiful slip through their<br />

fingers, and there is certainly<br />

room for everything in a mode<br />

that must be adapted to so many<br />

purposes.<br />

Just how great a change has<br />

taken place in the silhouette we<br />

can prove with a comparison.<br />

Last year's frock, set opposite<br />

tliis year's model, will have less<br />

of grace and softness than the<br />

latter. There will be, perhaps,<br />

more material in the skirt, but<br />

there will not be as great a<br />

width. The waistline of this<br />

,\ ear's dress will be higher, and<br />

there will be indications of a<br />

bodice, rather than a blouse.<br />

These details are enough in<br />

themselves to confirm one's suspicions,<br />

but a visit to a corsetiere<br />

will bring further proof.<br />

There are new lines in the approved<br />

garments, and one instantly<br />

suspects that if the<br />

trend that we have noted continues<br />

farther, there will be a<br />

new necessity arise. Everyone<br />

will have to wear some sort of<br />

a corset, for .curves will be<br />

definitely in style.<br />

Altogether there is grace,<br />

softness, elegance, femininity<br />

and striking beauty in the<br />

models that Easter will bringout.<br />

And what is, in a way, far<br />

more important, is the fact that<br />

there is an almost unlimited variety.<br />

Fundamentals may be<br />

practically the same for youth,<br />

the young matron and the dowager;<br />

but their application will<br />

be more reasonable; more in<br />

keeping with the one concerned.<br />

And there will be separate types<br />

for different activities, as there<br />

should be. No longer will the<br />

sports suit see us through the<br />

entire day from morning shopping<br />

trip to afternoon tea; it<br />

will be a sports suit, and nothing<br />

more. And who shall say<br />

that a new zest will not be added<br />

to life by this change; we readily<br />

admit that the philosophy of<br />

clothes is a cure for many ills.<br />

Just what is really new, in<br />

this mode that we are accepting?<br />

(One always uses the word<br />

"new" with reservations, for<br />

practically everything in fashion<br />

has been tried out before, and<br />

many of our newest features are<br />

but revivals.) Princesse lines<br />

and the irregular hemline, the<br />

latter leading us onward to a<br />

somewhat longer skirt; capes, in<br />

themselves a revival, but applied<br />

in ways that are entirely new;<br />

the higher waistline—it is rarely<br />

lower than the top of the<br />

hips; these are features first<br />

noticed, for they are prophetic.<br />

We are impressed by the generous<br />

use of flounces, tiers, drapes<br />

and swinging panels, which may<br />

be broadened in its meaning to<br />

include the jabot, scarf, cape and<br />

any number of combinations<br />

that are neither one or the other.<br />

We are, briefly, impressed with<br />

details.<br />

Broken lines predominate, not<br />

only in frocks, but in coats; even<br />

in hats. Everything that we<br />

THE INDEX, Saturday, March 24, 1928<br />

consider has a wealth of detail<br />

that is amazing, although its appearance<br />

is always one of simplicity.<br />

And it proves how great<br />

is the art of the maker that we<br />

are not impressed with anything<br />

but that simplicity, when an ennumeration<br />

of these many details<br />

would lead one to suspect<br />

that fussiness would result.<br />

Each little part of the costume<br />

is a perfect part, and it must not<br />

lose its perfection by subordination<br />

; yet—it must not call attention<br />

to itself. The springmode,<br />

as we shall see it Easter<br />

morning, is fraught with possibilities<br />

of great beauty, becomingness<br />

and appropriateness.<br />

But it is not to be trifled with<br />

in any of its details. Care in<br />

selection is imperative.<br />

Very few in Pennsylvania will take exception to<br />

the stand of Governor John S. Fisher when invited<br />

to appear before the United States Senate committee<br />

investigating coal strike conditions. Governor<br />

Fisher feels as do most residents of this<br />

Fearless district that Pennsylvania has been unjustly<br />

abused. The impression given by<br />

the actions of the Senators while here is that they<br />

GOVERNOR JOHN S. FISHER<br />

Who has bitterly resented the United States Senate<br />

treatment of Pennsylvania. When invited to appear<br />

before the committee investigating coal strike conditions<br />

Governor Fisher propounded some questions as<br />

to the scope and policy of the inquiry, causing senatorial<br />

resentment at Washington and many complimentary<br />

expressions at home. It is to be hoped that<br />

he acts as fearlessly when he is grilled at the National<br />

Crpital by the enemies of his State.<br />

strongly favor the unions as against the operators<br />

and that unless they change their attitude no good<br />

will come out of the investigation. Much harm has<br />

been done to Pennsylvania already and Governor<br />

Fisher has been vigorously applauded for the fearless<br />

position he has taken in defense of his state.<br />

No one believes that any beneficial results will come<br />

out of all of the turmoil. It may be when Governor<br />

Fisher goes on the stand he will insist that the<br />

governors of other coal producing states be called<br />

and that the inquiry be extended to include the entire<br />

industry. The way it now stands Pennsylvania has<br />

been singled out for criticism which makes the whole<br />

thing an injustice, working harm to a great state<br />

which has been striving against almost insurmountable<br />

odds to retain its position as the leader in a vital<br />

industry. No one who has given the subject any<br />

study can see other than political propaganda, all<br />

aimed to cause Republican defeat this fall. It is<br />

possible that reaction will come out of it and that<br />

the purpose of the muck raking will be defeated. Let<br />

us hope.<br />

for his country and who has made such outstanding<br />

sacrifices as the Secretary of the Treasury should<br />

be compelled to submit to so much abuse at the<br />

hands of Tin Lizzie Senators. It was<br />

Mellon unthinkable that the United States Senate<br />

would ask him to resign and the miserable<br />

and resentful creature who tried such an un-<br />

American task should slink into a corner and at<br />

least pretend that he is ashamed. He is certainly<br />

no credit to the United States Senate or to the state<br />

which was inveigled into sending him to Washington.<br />

Secretary Mellon will come out of all of the uproar<br />

bigger and stronger than before. Those who are<br />

acquainted with his long and untarnished business<br />

record in Pittsburgh know their man but it seems<br />

as if Washington jealous and resentful of his unparalleled<br />

successes still believes that there must be<br />

something knavish in his character. It is a pity<br />

public servants must submit to such uniust dragooning.<br />

Those who know Secretary Mellon are convinced<br />

that no matter how venomous the attacks he<br />

will never retire under fire. He has a great service<br />

to give to the people of his country. He has done<br />

wonders already and if his wonderful abilities were<br />

to be lost now he will live in history as one of the<br />

greatest financiers ever produced by the United<br />

States. Pittsburgh would like to get Secretary<br />

Mellon back. It needs just such a leader but it is<br />

content to see him remain at Washington bringing<br />

order out of chaos and lifting from the people and<br />

business burdens which at the end of the war seemed<br />

crushing.<br />

It is high time that intensive, constructive work<br />

was done for Pittsburgh. This community has been<br />

so badly abused recently and shamelessly so at the<br />

hands of those who should be protectors and friends<br />

that something must be done to re-<br />

Pittsburgh store the good name so viciously<br />

blackened. Pittsburgh does not deserve<br />

the venom heaped upon it. It is a great district<br />

with wonderful resources, splendid people and<br />

a heart. Some real effort should be made to let the<br />

world know about it. We have been hiding our light<br />

under a bushel long enough. It is time to step forth<br />

and let the world know of our virtues as it now<br />

seems to know of our faults. We should emphasize<br />

the spirit of optimism and endeavor to actually cooperate.<br />

There is a downtown group of business<br />

men who daily lunch together. When they meet<br />

they ask each other "How do you feel today." Unless<br />

the answer is "wonderful," a fine is imposed<br />

which goes to charity. One cannot vault a fence<br />

by his bootstraps but even though he does not feel<br />

quite up to the mark when he declares "wonderful"<br />

he really absorbs some of the optimism about him.<br />

We may not stop the outside knocking of Pittsburgh<br />

but we can stop the habit of picking ourselves to<br />

p'eces. We should be for Pittsburgh and Pittsburghel<br />

s. We should boost. We should f<strong>org</strong>et the silly<br />

slogans to which some of our civic <strong>org</strong>anizations<br />

have been clinging. We should try to do something<br />

for the benefit of the whole community. We should<br />

get behind the town hall and locate it right. We<br />

should revive the old idea of a permanent industrial<br />

exposition. We should give some attention to the<br />

housing of our workingmen. We should be active<br />

in seeing that the opportunities for healthful amusement<br />

are fully developed. Our parks should throw<br />

AMATEUR and professional<br />

devotees to photography<br />

from far and near<br />

have contributed to the fifteenth<br />

annual Salon of the Photographic<br />

Section of the Pittsburgh<br />

Academy of Science and<br />

Art, which opened in the Carnegie<br />

Galleries March seventeenth,<br />

to continue until April<br />

fifteenth. Each year sees an increasing<br />

interest, both at home<br />

and abroad, in this Salon. In the<br />

present show thirteen countries,<br />

in addition to the United States,<br />

are represented.<br />

not an easy matter to be passed<br />

by the Salon jury, out of the fifteen<br />

hundred prints submitted<br />

only three hundred and thirty<br />

were admitted to the exhibition.<br />

A hasty glance through the<br />

catalog leaves the impression<br />

that the majority of the contributors<br />

are one-print men; the<br />

highest number of photographs<br />

accepted from any one contributor<br />

is four and among the<br />

group that has attained this distinction<br />

there are only eight.<br />

They are Frank Drtikol, of<br />

Prague; Nicolas Haz, of New<br />

York City; Holmes I. Mettee, of<br />

Baltimore; Ge<strong>org</strong>e H. Morse, of<br />

Pittsburgh; William M. Rittase,<br />

of Philadelphia; John Skara, of<br />

Chicago; Paul Wierum, of the<br />

Chicago Camera Club, and<br />

Isamu Yasuda, of Los Angeles.<br />

To the casual observer, the<br />

subjects of this year's entries<br />

seem far more diversified than<br />

have been those of preceding-<br />

Salons. One is impressed by the<br />

scarcity of subjects that have<br />

been photographed for beauty's<br />

sake alone. Rather has the<br />

photographer taken the unusual,<br />

provided by Nature or by his<br />

own efforts at arrangement.<br />

There is the usual plenitude of<br />

prints that picture the mighty<br />

forces of industry, mills, behind<br />

and above which are the dense<br />

clouds of smoke and steam of<br />

the full-power operation that<br />

spells prosperity; the gleam of<br />

shining steel rails that form a<br />

part of some giant railroad system;<br />

barges, bridges and impressive<br />

civic projects. The<br />

still life craze that has so completely<br />

swept the ranks of those<br />

artists who wield brushes and<br />

bespeak their artistic message<br />

Pittsburgh's A n n u a l P h o t o g r a p h i c S a l o n<br />

in colors, seems to have invaded<br />

the photographic world with<br />

equal vim. If you like them, the<br />

walls of Carnegie Galleries will<br />

spread before you still lifes in<br />

great array. One wonders why,<br />

in capital letters, when the gaze<br />

falls upon some; others amuse<br />

and still others receive only indifferent<br />

glances. These may be<br />

most marvelous examples of<br />

those mystic processes known to<br />

the initiated as bromide, bromoil,<br />

chloride, carbo, palladium<br />

or the dear only knows what<br />

else, but to the poor ignoramus<br />

of a layman blundering through<br />

the show, they have no interest.<br />

He has spotted a beauty farther<br />

down the line and is going for it<br />

as fast as he can. And when he<br />

arrives he usually stands transfixed<br />

before the grace and beauty<br />

that the camera has caught<br />

for him and which the photographer,<br />

with his eerie knowledge<br />

of those aforementioned mystic<br />

processes, has brought out and<br />

enhanced by means of his own<br />

inate artistry and craftsmanship.<br />

For there are some very<br />

lovely things in this Salon of<br />

which Pittsburgh is justly<br />

proud, some things that are close<br />

akin to and quite as beautiful as<br />

etchings. There are quaint<br />

scenes, both at home and in far<br />

countries, that make one want<br />

to go on the trail of them; there<br />

are pictures that show sharp<br />

contrasts in methods of living;<br />

in geography and in the various<br />

estates in which man finds himself<br />

in this world.<br />

"THE MOORING PLACE"<br />

By Ge<strong>org</strong>e H. Morse, Pittsburgh.<br />

Oddities there are, and many<br />

of them. One marvels at the<br />

keen perception of the artists<br />

who have been so clever in recognizing<br />

the pictorial value of<br />

the homely, the every day.<br />

How many for instance would<br />

have taken as a study in<br />

shadows, that cast by the<br />

kitchen sink spigot? But that<br />

is what Gordon H. Coster, of<br />

Baltimore, has done. In his picture,<br />

beneath the spigot, is a<br />

homely family stewpan, a colander<br />

hangs nearby. This doesn't<br />

sound a bit thrilling, but if you<br />

go and see for yourself you will<br />

change } our mind! Not so enticing<br />

are some of the other<br />

oddities, which come under the<br />

still life title. For instance, the<br />

prosaic, every day collars that<br />

Bruce Metcalfe, of Weston, Ontario,<br />

Canada, chose to photograph.<br />

One asks why? A little<br />

better is T. K. Shindo's picture<br />

of a plate, a knife and an apple<br />

or two that he has been pleased<br />

frankly label "still life." Mr.<br />

Shindo has at least been kind<br />

enough to vary the monotony of<br />

things by trailing the paring of<br />

one apple across the foreground<br />

in a most engaging manner. Still<br />

better in the way of oddities is<br />

William M. Ritasse's amusing<br />

"So This is New York."<br />

Among the nudes one finds<br />

some very charming things.<br />

Among them the "Mystery" of<br />

H. Richardson Cremer (Upper<br />

Montclair, New Jersey) ; "The<br />

Worshiper," by W. D. Hughes,<br />

of the Chicago Camera Club;<br />

"The Sunbath," by the Honorable<br />

Alexander Keighley, of The<br />

High Hall, Steeton, near Keighley,<br />

England; "A Study in Triangles,"<br />

a clever thing picturing<br />

a kneeling nude, by Nicholas<br />

Muray, of New York City;<br />

"Day Dreams," by Arthur W.<br />

Rice, of Worcester, Massachusetts.<br />

"MOVEMENT"<br />

By Frank Drtikol, Prague.<br />

In the portrait group there<br />

are some excellent things, the<br />

subjects running from age-old<br />

(apparently) Indians, charmingwomen,<br />

boys, girls, to such distinguished<br />

gentlemen as Charles<br />

J. Taylor, known to every boy<br />

and girl of Carnegie Institute of<br />

Technology, whether a student<br />

in the College of Fine Arts or<br />

not, as "Daddy Taylor." Ralph<br />

W. Johnston took the picture.<br />

Other Pittsburghers and near-<br />

Pittsburghers whose work has<br />

been hung in this Salon are William<br />

J. Allen, Charles K. Archer,<br />

who has three lovely things in<br />

his "Mystic Vale," "Haunted<br />

Day;" Louis Fabian Bachrach,<br />

whose "Carpenter" is an interesting<br />

study; James Boylin<br />

W H E T H E R the words<br />

"Flower Market" in<br />

Pittsburgh will produce<br />

the magic results of Baltimore,<br />

Philadelphia and other<br />

cities, will depend largely upon<br />

the attractiveness of this fete<br />

(day) and the charm of the commodities<br />

sold. The Civic Club of<br />

Allegheny County in preparing<br />

for the third annual Market is<br />

considering- both of these important.<br />

The Market will be held<br />

in City Hall Square, Federal and<br />

Ohio Streets, North Side, Thursday,<br />

June seventh.<br />

G. M. P. Baird will design the<br />

plan which assures the first part<br />

of the program being carried<br />

out. The wares to be sold are a<br />

matter of grave consideration<br />

among a large number of women<br />

who believe this Market a civic<br />

asset and are willing to get behind<br />

the project.<br />

A word about the wares will<br />

be interesting to those who<br />

think only of the Flower Market<br />

as an opportunity to purchase<br />

cut flowers or potted plants.<br />

These, of course, will predominate.<br />

In addition, there will be<br />

garden accessories, including<br />

bird baths, garden pottery,<br />

benches and fascinating bird<br />

sticks to make the perennial border<br />

more attractive. There will<br />

be garden aprons, kneeling pads<br />

and cushions of all kinds for the<br />

porch, motor car, yacht, seashore<br />

and for picnics and every<br />

occasion that may be greatly enhanced<br />

by a comfortable, attractive<br />

pillow. Beach hats and<br />

coats are novelties which will be<br />

introduced for the first time at<br />

this Market. Garden toys for<br />

children to use out of doors are<br />

being seriously considered.<br />

As for the materials from<br />

which garden smocks, aprons<br />

and such things may be made,<br />

they are legion. Even the shops<br />

seem to be co-operating for the<br />

success of the forthcoming fete<br />

G e t R e a d y F o r<br />

T l i e F l o w e r<br />

M a r k e t !<br />

with their timely offerings of<br />

"garden print materials." These<br />

gay, pleasing- fabrics are g<strong>org</strong>eous<br />

in their designs of oldfashioned<br />

garden flowers.<br />

One of the features of the<br />

past has been the street vendors<br />

whose attractive baskets carry<br />

sweet lavender, cigarettes and<br />

candy. Toy balloons to be sent<br />

up with a tag on which the finder<br />

may write his name and claim<br />

a prize, are to be another attraction.<br />

A very important feature<br />

is the cafeteria which will serve<br />

delicious sandwiches, home made<br />

cake, ice cream, coffee or soft<br />

drinks. This section of the Market<br />

has great drawing power at<br />

the noon time.<br />

There will be special features<br />

developed for entertainment<br />

during the afternoon of this oneday<br />

Market and the evening will<br />

be devoted to a street dance. A<br />

large flower bed from which one<br />

may "pick a flower and win a<br />

prize" is not to be f<strong>org</strong>otten<br />

among the many other attractions<br />

which will b^> added during<br />

the coming weeks as the details<br />

are completed by enthusiastic<br />

chairmen and committees.<br />

It is the aim to make this<br />

colorful event a fete day such as<br />

it has become in other cities and<br />

those who are in charge of the<br />

various booths ask their friends<br />

for suggestions or such contributions<br />

of novelties for use in the<br />

garden and out of doors as may<br />

come to their attention. The<br />

good will and hearty cooperation<br />

of the citizens of Pittsburgh is a<br />

stepping stone which will lead to<br />

the success of this community<br />

event which has become a municipal<br />

asset in other important<br />

cities and has attracted countrywide<br />

attention.<br />

THE INDEX, Saturday, March 24, 1928 17<br />

T H E S T A G E A N D S C R E E N<br />

T H E week beginning Monday<br />

evening, March 26,<br />

will be of notable interest<br />

to play patrons by the appearance<br />

at the Nixon Theatre<br />

of one of the foremost of the<br />

musical attractions of the year<br />

—Vincent Youmans' own production<br />

of his nautical comedy,<br />

"Hit the Deck," headed by three<br />

of the most popular favorites of<br />

the stage, Queenie Smith,<br />

Charles Purcell and Juanita<br />

Chefalo. This play has been a<br />

record-breaker wherever it has<br />

appeared. In New York it has<br />

just finished a whole year's run.<br />

In Chicago, at Woods Theatre, it<br />

has closed an engagement of five<br />

months and it is the same <strong>org</strong>anization<br />

that comes to Pittsburgh.<br />

In Los Angeles it is continuing<br />

to crowded houses. In the Hippodrome,<br />

London, it has been delighting<br />

audiences since Christmas,<br />

while in other cities of<br />

England there are three smaller<br />

companies, also under Mr. Youmans'<br />

management, testing the<br />

capacity of the provincial theatres.<br />

Even Australia and South<br />

Africa have welcomed with<br />

great enthusiasm Mr. Youmans'<br />

delightful score and Herbert<br />

Fields' dialogue and fascinatingstory.<br />

"Hit the Deck" is engirdling<br />

the earth with its two<br />

feature songs, "Sometimes I'm<br />

Happy" and "Hallelujah," for<br />

within a few short weeks Paris,<br />

Vienna and Berlin will see this<br />

musical comedy rendered by special<br />

companies. The performances<br />

will have the advantage of<br />

the company's excellent orchestra,<br />

augmented by the local<br />

musicians of the Nixon Theatre.<br />

DAVIS<br />

Trixie Friganza, the Grand<br />

Duchess of Comedy, presenting<br />

a new skit called "My Bag o'<br />

Trix," will be the headliner of<br />

Keith-Albee vaudeville at the<br />

Davis Theatre next week; the<br />

screen presentation announced<br />

is "Come To My House," with<br />

Olive Borden and Antonio Moreno.<br />

A miniature musical comedy<br />

will be presented by Gracellan<br />

and Theodore, under the title of<br />

"Nights of Love." The two principals<br />

are assisted by four other<br />

singers and players, Julene Garten,<br />

Jean Besuier, H. Williams<br />

and Manuel DeGrandy. Each<br />

number is a picture—one or two<br />

are cartoons. Pat Henning and<br />

Company, in "Versatility," will<br />

be another contribution to the<br />

bill. Pat has everything- that<br />

goes to make success in the<br />

theatre, and the "company" consists<br />

of his parents, Fred and<br />

Ann Henning. An act of un-<br />

TRIX1E FRIGANZA<br />

Tops the Davis bill for next week.<br />

usual interest is Ray and Dot<br />

Dean, the nut comedian, who<br />

reigned for a time as king of a<br />

South Sea Island, and his clever<br />

partner. Ray is billed as "Elmer,<br />

the Boob McNutt of Vaudeville."<br />

Other acts will be Bury's Dog<br />

Stars, perhaps the best known<br />

canine thespians; and Arthur<br />

Petley and Company, clever<br />

aerial artists.<br />

The screen presentation,<br />

"Come To My House," features<br />

Olive Borden, Antonio Moreno,<br />

Ben Bard, Cornelius Keefe and<br />

Doris Lloyd. It is said to be the<br />

story of a girl's battle against<br />

conventions. The program will<br />

be brought to a close with News<br />

Reels and Topics of the Day.<br />

STANLEY<br />

The Florentine Singers, composed<br />

of fifty men and women of<br />

Florence, Italy, are coming to<br />

the Stanley Theatre for the<br />

week beginning Monday after­<br />

noon, March 26. The group is<br />

conducted by Sandro Benelli,<br />

professor of choral singing at<br />

the Royal Conservatory, and<br />

brother of Sem Benelli, noted<br />

author, playwright and librettist<br />

of two works in the repertoire<br />

of the Metropolitan, "L'Amore<br />

Dei Trei Rei" and "La Cena<br />

Delle Beffe." Sandro Benelli has<br />

labored for years building a perfect<br />

musical <strong>org</strong>anization and is<br />

credited with inspiring and developing<br />

an awakened interest in<br />

choral music throughout Italy.<br />

The program to be given at<br />

the Stanley will include sacred<br />

and secular music, the second<br />

part of the program being de­<br />

voted to solos, duos, trios, quintets,<br />

sextets, and chorus numbers<br />

of Palestrina, Tuscan, and<br />

Neapolitan folk songs, madrigrals<br />

and marching songs.<br />

Frank H. Healy, of San Francisco,<br />

who presented the Sistine<br />

Choir, is general manager of the<br />

tour and arranged for the historic<br />

Florentine costumes. There<br />

are twenty young women, many<br />

of whom are members of patrician<br />

families of Florence, to add<br />

to the beauty of person and costume<br />

of the ensemble.<br />

The screen attraction for the<br />

week will be Ge<strong>org</strong>e Bancroft in<br />

"The Showdown," the story of a<br />

wildcat oil driller, hidden away<br />

in the Mexican tropics. Evelyn<br />

Brent plays the leading feminine<br />

role. News Reels and Topics of<br />

the Day will conclude the bill.<br />

Merely remove the clothes from the wringer to the racks of<br />

the dryer, turn on the gas and in a short time your washing is as<br />

dry and clean and sweet-smelling as any sun-dried washing.<br />

It's quicker, too. An ordinary tubful drys in less than three-<br />

quarters of an hour. The secret of laundering without yellowing<br />

is quick drying.<br />

Clothes line annoyances cease to exist! No outdoor cellar<br />

steps to climb! No moving from a warm basement to a cool out<br />

doors! The dryer is a self-contained unit and may be placed in<br />

any part of the cellar.<br />

The average operating cost is less than io cents per week.<br />

Tuesday evening, April 3, with<br />

soloists including Ethyl Hayden,<br />

assist.<br />

Much interest centers around<br />

Ethyl Hayden on account of her<br />

early training in the Pittsburgh<br />

district. She is a native of<br />

Washington, Pennsylvania, and<br />

"Often formerly I have found<br />

myself wondering why pictures,<br />

after all; what it is all about;<br />

and if the canvases lined up in<br />

galleries for people to look at are<br />

really worth the tremendous<br />

amount of time and energy consumed<br />

in the chase. But this<br />

year I have a different feeling<br />

about it. To me pictures in galleries<br />

(and ultimately in the<br />

home) are the logical and last<br />

step to this sudden renascence<br />

in interest in decoration which<br />

is taking place all over this country<br />

of ours. You see it in furniture,<br />

you see it in advertisements,<br />

in fabrics, in architecture,<br />

in kitchen utensils, in all<br />

the everyday objects that are so<br />

much a part of our lives. It is a<br />

good sign. If people are think­<br />

for, we have a new emotional<br />

field to play in, to add to the golf<br />

14 THE INDEX, Saturday, March 31, 1928<br />

T H E S T A G E A N D S C R E E N<br />

A F T E R having played for<br />

16 weeks at the Ge<strong>org</strong>e<br />

M. Cohan and the Little<br />

Theatres in New York City and<br />

engagements in Boston and<br />

Philadelphia to approving audiences,<br />

Frank Craven, that delightfully<br />

whimsical comedian<br />

gifted in the dual capacities of<br />

actor and playwright, will commence<br />

a week's engagement at<br />

the Nixon Theatre Monday<br />

night in his new comedy, "The<br />

19th Hole." A. L. Erlanger, with<br />

FRANK CRAVEN<br />

In "The 19th Hole," the attraction<br />

booked for the Nixon Theatre next<br />

week.<br />

whom Mr. Craven has previously<br />

been associated, managerially<br />

sponsors the tour.<br />

The title of Mr. Craven's comedy,<br />

it should be said, in no way<br />

bears upon the popularly accepted<br />

meaning that "the nineteenth<br />

hole" is said to have for the<br />

golfing fraternity. The author,<br />

always a keen observer of<br />

human nature and of the traits<br />

of his fellow men has, moreover,<br />

a golfing motive through the<br />

three acts perhaps because millions<br />

of his countrymen are now<br />

either adherents of or else more<br />

or less familiar with the game.<br />

However, Mr. Craven's latest<br />

comedy, like his "Too Many<br />

Cooks," "The First Year" and<br />

"New Brooms" is decidedly a<br />

domestic comedy both in spirit<br />

and characters.<br />

A young man of scholastic and<br />

gentle habit and his wife, of<br />

tastes similar to his own, arrange<br />

to quietly pass a Summer<br />

in a suburban community. They<br />

find not only their neighbors but<br />

practically all of the townspeople<br />

deeply bitten by the golf bug<br />

and soon the placid writer is an<br />

ardent golfer. With a golfing<br />

background for "The 19th Hole,"<br />

Mr. Craven is said to have<br />

evolved a comedy of American<br />

life filled with highly diverting<br />

complications, delightful satire<br />

and abundant humor. Mr. Craven,<br />

in the comedy's chief role,<br />

has around him a clever cast of<br />

characters including Dorothy<br />

Blackburn, Kitty Kelly, Marion<br />

Abbott, Josephine Deffry, Robert<br />

Wayne, Homer Barton, Roy<br />

Cochrane, Walter Andrews, Harry<br />

Lewellyn, Howard Sidney,<br />

John Harwood, Jay Adair Young<br />

and Beecher Zebbs.<br />

Will top the Davis bill during the week<br />

of April 2.<br />

atre for the week of April 2. The<br />

photoplay attraction will be<br />

Madge Bellamy in "Soft Living."<br />

No better entertainers than<br />

Van and Schenck, in their own<br />

particular line, are known to the<br />

stage. Although originally<br />

vaudevillians, they have been<br />

starred and featured in some of<br />

the biggest revues and musical<br />

comedies of the past decade.<br />

They return to the variety periodically,<br />

however, and their appearance<br />

is always a signal for<br />

rejoicing.<br />

Mile. Rhea and Santora, in a<br />

dancing divertissement, with<br />

Marian Barclay, Arthur Clazin<br />

and Joe Witt, will be another important<br />

feature on the program.<br />

Other acts announced include<br />

"Lamb Chops," presented by<br />

Ge<strong>org</strong>e M. Burns and Grace Allen,<br />

as a super-sophisticated boy<br />

and an equally unsophisticated<br />

girl; Cortini, the Master Manipulator,<br />

famous European juggler<br />

and illusionist; The Caits Brothers,<br />

a team of dancing comedians,<br />

who have won the name of<br />

the "dancers with the flying<br />

feet," and Jean Adair, singer of<br />

popular songs.<br />

The screen offering, "Soft Living,"<br />

shows Madge Bellamy as<br />

the star of a whimsical comedy<br />

on the modern marriage question.<br />

STANLEY<br />

For the stage attraction at the<br />

Stanley during the week beginning<br />

April 2, the Stanley Company<br />

of America have engaged<br />

Maestro Miguel Lerdo de Tejada<br />

and the Mexican Tipica Orchestra<br />

of Thirty Soloists. It is considered<br />

one of the world's great<br />

musical <strong>org</strong>anizations and is<br />

making a brief American tour.<br />

An extra attraction will be Foster,<br />

Fagan and Cox Harmony<br />

Singers, who w'ill be heard in a<br />

program of popular up-to-theminute<br />

jazz numbers, interspersed<br />

with comedy patter and<br />

dance numbers.<br />

The screen attraction for the<br />

week will be "Ladies' Night in a<br />

Turkish Bath," billed as a shower<br />

of laughs, and featuring Dorothy<br />

Mackaill and Jack Mulhall<br />

in the leading roles.<br />

Phil Spitalny will conduct his<br />

forty-piece symphony orchestra<br />

in a big overture, followed by<br />

lighter selections, and the usual<br />

Before long the taxpayers of Allegheny County<br />

may be called upon to decide whether rather extravagant<br />

expenditure in public improvements will<br />

be made. These include not only roads which under<br />

the circumstances are unnecessary but<br />

Stop bridges and tunnels which call for outlay<br />

far beyond any demand that there may be<br />

for them. The new Liberty bridge and tunnel has<br />

been placed in operation and the effect of its traffic<br />

should be closely watched. It has caused some con-<br />

a bridge and tunnel was met the Golden Triangle<br />

would be so congested that business would suffer<br />

and pedestrians would be compelled to incur unnecessary<br />

and dangerous traffic risks.<br />

expect he will, he will make some trouble in Pennsylvania<br />

and in other industrial states but we do not<br />

expect to see him in the White House, however<br />

elegible, competent and acceptable he might be. In<br />

the meantime business will mark time until the<br />

nightmare is out of the way.<br />

The "hoot" of the owl, wise insignia of the<br />

League of American Pen Women, will soon<br />

candidates for National president and vice<br />

president respectively, are Mrs. Edward Nelson<br />

Dingley and Mrs. William Wolfe Smith,<br />

both residents of the Capital city.<br />

Mrs. Dingley, as wife and mother, graces<br />

a charming home in Chevy Chase, besides<br />

being a successful writer for newspapers,<br />

having written many stories of prominent<br />

persons here and abroad. Well known as a<br />

public speaker, she has given time and wholehearted<br />

effort to woman suffrage, also to<br />

civic and to fraternal matters. As first vice<br />

president of the National League, her popularity<br />

bespeaks a prominence and following<br />

that insures for her a widespread devotion<br />

and loyalty among members of the League.<br />

Regent of her Chapter, she is an ardent<br />

worker for that patriotic <strong>org</strong>anization, the<br />

Daughters of the American Revolution.<br />

Mrs. William Wolfe Smith, whose delightful<br />

Friday morning book reviews are enjoyed<br />

by a group of discriminating readers and<br />

lovers of literature has a pleasing, clarifying<br />

manner of presenting plots and of delineating<br />

character studies. Her activities as past<br />

president of the District League resulted in<br />

helpfulness to the various groups, while the<br />

Coffee Shoppe, modeled after an old English<br />

custom, featured many noted speakers,<br />

writers and artists of National fame. In the<br />

Club rooms of the District League lately,<br />

Mrs. Smith gave a talk on "My Pilgrimage to<br />

Oxford and Stratford," a description of her<br />

trip to those places last Summer and of a<br />

course of Shakespearean lectures at the University<br />

of Oxford. In closing, she read a sonnet<br />

composed by Miss Katherine L. Cox, of<br />

Pittsburgh, now living in Washington.<br />

This is "Membership Week" for the Pittsburgh<br />

Skin and Cancer Foundation, No. 3400<br />

Forbes Street. During this time more than<br />

70,000 letters have been sent to citizens of<br />

the Pittsburgh district. The membership<br />

campaign is being directed by a committee<br />

composed of Mrs. William P. Witherow,<br />

chairman, Mrs. Ge<strong>org</strong>e B. Berger, Jr., Mrs.<br />

Ge<strong>org</strong>e L. Collord and Mrs. John W. Lawrence.<br />

The Pittsburgh Skin and Cancer Foundation<br />

is the only <strong>org</strong>anization in Pennsylvania<br />

carrying the fight against cancer. It was <strong>org</strong>anized<br />

in 1923 by the late Judge James H.<br />

Reed and until last year was supported entirely<br />

by a few public spirited men and<br />

women of Pittsburgh. Since the death of<br />

Judge Reed no president has been elected or<br />

will be until the expiration of the term to<br />

which he was elected. Arthur E. Braun is<br />

the acting president. Other officers are:<br />

Treasurer, Roy A. Hunt; assistant treasurer,<br />

7,488 treatments given, an increase of 464<br />

over 1926. There were 925 patients admitted,<br />

an increase of 219. Of the patients, 300 were<br />

in the cancer department and 625 in the department<br />

of skin diseases. Private physicians<br />

and agencies directly under medical management<br />

referred to the Foundation 602<br />

patients, or 65 per cent of those received. The<br />

annual report shows receipts of $15,576.07<br />

and expenditures of $16,333.71 last year, a<br />

Foundation are: Associate, $1; contributing,<br />

$5; sustaining, $10; patron, $25; donor, $50;<br />

the social service work and has committees<br />

10 THE INDEX, Saturday, April 7, 1928<br />

T h e M o d e M a r k s<br />

Its Progress<br />

Whither is fashion tending ana whence has it come?<br />

What are the prevailing characteristics at the moment?<br />

bu Blanche Sears Emerson<br />

"3<br />

IT is said that fashion follows<br />

the trend of the times; that<br />

national and international<br />

affairs affect what we wear; that<br />

once in every so often, regardless,<br />

the old is revived as new.<br />

We are given varied bits of information,<br />

now and then, concerning<br />

the source of the modes<br />

that are offered us, and the reason<br />

for this, that or the other<br />

thing in our general fashions.<br />

But after all, we are concerned<br />

rather with the thing as it exists<br />

than with the why of that existence.<br />

And we take no part in<br />

any discussion as to sources,<br />

caring little w h e t h e r Paris<br />

teaches Hollywood, or vice versa.<br />

But we are interested, somewhat,<br />

in the way we are drifting,<br />

for we know that reckoned<br />

by decades the tide bears us an<br />

appreciable distance, one way or<br />

the other.<br />

There are times when we feel<br />

that the mode is standing still.<br />

There were many successive seasons<br />

of the tube silhouette, for<br />

instance, when everyone dressed<br />

quite like everyone else. There<br />

were several seasons of boyish<br />

themes, quite unsuitable to the<br />

mature woman, yet obviously<br />

the smart idea of the moment.<br />

During these periods there was<br />

very little progress, apparently,<br />

yet—if we compare the fashions<br />

of 1918 with those of 1928, we<br />

will see that the difference presented<br />

is very wide. Evidently<br />

the leaven of the feminine was<br />

working in the unmanageable<br />

lump of the masculine and boyish;<br />

of the pencil and the tube<br />

silhouette; of successive modes<br />

that offered very little variety<br />

and were becoming to a minor,<br />

rather than a major portion of<br />

the women dependent upon<br />

them.<br />

If one characteristic were to<br />

be asked, and named, as the one<br />

that makes the present mode<br />

dear to the heart of womankind,<br />

the word versatility would provide<br />

the answer. We adore the<br />

new fashions, for no matter<br />

what our age, or "style" or fig­<br />

ure, we are assured individuality.<br />

It is their adaptability, not<br />

only to the woman herself, but<br />

to time and place, as well, that<br />

marks them as different from<br />

any and everything that has<br />

passed in review, these many<br />

years. And allied with this versatility,<br />

we have beauty—of fabric,<br />

color and line; intricacy of<br />

detail; and the characteristics of<br />

harmony and symmetry, even<br />

when the latter is achieved by<br />

assymetrical effects. Fashion is<br />

proving more friendly than we<br />

ever remember it, showing, at<br />

the same time, a disposition to<br />

continue that friendliness.<br />

There are several outstanding<br />

qualities in the mode, all of them<br />

possessed of pliability and<br />

charm. First of all, there is the<br />

silhouette, made up of lines diametrically<br />

opposed to the tube,<br />

in that they are moulded and<br />

flared, yet fall straightly, notwithstanding.<br />

This new silhouette<br />

savors of the princesse<br />

fashion of other years, but it is<br />

a far more sophisticated thing,<br />

for it suggests, but does not define.<br />

It permits of many things<br />

—things that drape and flutter<br />

and fall—but its chief triumph<br />

is the fact that it writes but a<br />

single line, doing it in "broken"<br />

English, but putting over its<br />

message just the same. Had<br />

we not seen this silhouette in<br />

evolution; and had we been told<br />

of its component parts, without<br />

seeing it; then would the finished<br />

line surprise us mightily.<br />

Were you told that tiers, draperies,<br />

flounces and centralized<br />

fulness were not only permitted,<br />

but encouraged; that hemlines<br />

dip and rise in an irregularity<br />

that is understandable only<br />

when seen; that the plain skirt<br />

is the unusual thing—rather the<br />

unimaginative, and, therefore,<br />

the unapproved interpretation of<br />

the mode; you would hardly expect<br />

a slender line in that skirt,<br />

now would you? Or, if you were<br />

assured that capes and yokes<br />

and jabots; surplice lines, Eton<br />

and bolero jackets and scarf col­<br />

lars; pleats and tucks and slotseams<br />

were all approved, and<br />

generally made use of; again,<br />

you would doubt slenderness,<br />

would you not? Yet all this is<br />

true, and there are belts and<br />

girdles and normal waistlines<br />

suggested by the curve of the<br />

silhouette—and the silhouette is<br />

straight of line.<br />

What is the answer to it all?<br />

Just that we are returning to<br />

feminine themes for feminine<br />

use. Just that there is a line of<br />

demarcation between the formal<br />

and the informal—and already<br />

the sports frock is as out of the<br />

picture at a formal afternoon<br />

affair as the business suit of a<br />

man at a full-dress banquet. In<br />

respect to the latter, it is as<br />

though the doings of the right<br />

hand were concealed from the<br />

left, the one representing the<br />

tailored; the other the new feminine,<br />

formal fashions. The former<br />

is represented as softer,<br />

more insouciant than in former<br />

years; the latter a flying, fluttering,<br />

swinging mode, when in motion—everything<br />

expressive of<br />

movement; but smartly slender,<br />

when at rest. A two-way success,<br />

this newest expression of<br />

feminine formality.<br />

Distinction is paramount in<br />

the new models. All through<br />

the Winter months we have been<br />

hearing rumors of the lengths<br />

to which this new femininity<br />

would carry us. We were dazed<br />

with the possibilities of anklelength<br />

skirts; long hair; the<br />

normal waistline. And what is<br />

the result? Skirts are anklelength—s<br />

o m e t i m e s, and in<br />

places; but when they go to<br />

these extremes it is only in passing,<br />

for they rise to a smart<br />

shortness in other places. Hair<br />

is longer, but only a matter of<br />

the inches necessary to permit<br />

of waving—feminine fashions<br />

call for the softness of the wave,<br />

rather than the sleek smoothness<br />

of the boyish bob. The normal<br />

waistline is suggested, but<br />

since few wear it becomingly, it<br />

is just that—a suggestion. But<br />

all three mark the trend.<br />

Contributing a generous share<br />

to this new idea, we have fabrics<br />

and colors. They are neither<br />

subordinated to the general<br />

mode, nor do they subordinate<br />

it. Soft, supple, of marvellously<br />

fine textures, they do all that is<br />

asked of them, yet leave the impression<br />

that they could do yet<br />

more. They are sheer, in many<br />

instances, and when they are<br />

not, they are light of weight—<br />

the new basket-weave tweeds,<br />

for example. Similar characteristics<br />

make combinations of fabrics<br />

possible, and this is one of<br />

the real stand-bys of the designer.<br />

Add to the beauty of fabrics<br />

the wonderful color range, and<br />

there seems but little left to demand.<br />

There are some wondrous<br />

clear tones on the Spring color<br />

card — blues that surprise;<br />

greens, purples and reds, the<br />

same.<br />

After several seasons of a<br />

theme, we come to feel that it<br />

has reached the height of its<br />

possibilities. The exploitation of<br />

the ensemble idea has covered<br />

several years, at least, yet this<br />

coming season it is listed as one<br />

of the most important ideas in<br />

the new mode. It reaches out to<br />

the smallest item of the costume,<br />

making the detail that is<br />

lovely in itself, but inharmoni­<br />

ous, an impossibility. It has<br />

opened new departments in the<br />

shops where one may find, from<br />

day to day, intriguing new<br />

things to smarten the old, or the<br />

new, costume. But we are, at<br />

the outset, interested in the ensemble<br />

itself—the fundamentals<br />

of coat and skirt or coat and<br />

frock, though more often than<br />

not the latter simulates the skirt<br />

with its accompanying and contrasting<br />

blouse.<br />

In its original form the "suit"<br />

was an affair of one material,<br />

worn with blouses—one recalls<br />

M o n e y Takes Wings<br />

the "shirt-waist," perhaps. Then<br />

there was the idea of matching<br />

the frock and the lining of the<br />

coat, the latter a solid color that<br />

was harmonious with the former.<br />

Later, we became subtle,<br />

and a bit of trimming or a touch<br />

of color linked coat and dress. Of<br />

late the tendency has been to<br />

match the two in both color and<br />

spend it quickly. That is why so many women and children<br />

find within a few years that the money has taken wings<br />

T H E S T A G E A N D S C R E E N<br />

M O N D A Y night the longawaited<br />

aviation film<br />

''Wings" opens its<br />

Pittsburgh premiere at the Nixon<br />

Theatre. After Monday there<br />

will be two performances daily—<br />

2:30 and 8:30 P. M.<br />

CLARA BOW<br />

In "Wings," the Nixon attraction for<br />

the week of April 9.<br />

"Wings" depicts in realistic<br />

and gripping scenes the heroism<br />

of American aviators in the<br />

World War. The picture was<br />

filmed with the active co-operation<br />

and assistance of the War<br />

Department. It is said one hundred<br />

and twenty aeroplanes,<br />

piloted by seasoned aviators,<br />

were used in the making of the<br />

St. Mihiel battle scenes in which<br />

six thousand soldiers participated.<br />

Stirring duels two miles<br />

up in the clouds with a group of<br />

American aces fighting for life<br />

against one of the celebrated circuses<br />

; the bombing of a gigantic<br />

Gotha; the actual destruction of<br />

observation balloons, and scores<br />

of other thrilling air scenes go<br />

to the making of "Wings."<br />

The story was written by<br />

John Monk Saunders, an aviator<br />

and instructor of aeronautics<br />

during the war. It was directed<br />

by William A. Wellman, a young<br />

man from Massachusetts who<br />

served in the Lafayette Escadrille.<br />

The cast contains Clara<br />

Bow, since become a star;<br />

Charles Rogers and Richard Arlen,<br />

who have since become<br />

prominent young leads. Among<br />

others in the cast are H. B.<br />

Walthall, Julia Swayne Gordon,<br />

Gary Cooper, El. Brendel, Arlette<br />

Marchal and Hedda Hopper.<br />

"Wings" will have an unusual<br />

presentation. J. S. Zamecnik<br />

has provided a beautiful and<br />

mostly original score. In addition<br />

there will be elaborate<br />

sound effects. The Magnascope,<br />

used to advantage in the showing<br />

of "Old Ironsides," will also<br />

be featured.<br />

STANLEY<br />

A stage presentation of frolic<br />

and mirth, entitled "Sky Blues,"<br />

will be the Stanley Theatre stage<br />

offering for the week of April 9.<br />

The screen attraction will be<br />

Clara Bow in her latest hit, "Red<br />

Hair."<br />

"Sky Blues" is a spectacular<br />

ensemble made up of six separate<br />

and distinct vaudeville acts,<br />

including The Frolic Four, The<br />

Four Masters, Mignon Laird,<br />

Charles Elby, Gladys Wheaton,<br />

and Luna Nestor, ballerina, who<br />

appears as solo dancer with the<br />

Alexis Kosloff Ballet. "Red<br />

Hair" depicts Clara Bow, the<br />

mad-cap of the screen, in the<br />

role of a gold-digging manicurist.<br />

A novel feature of photography<br />

shows for the first time<br />

the true shade of the fascinating<br />

Clara's hair. After a busy career<br />

of philandering Clara meets the<br />

right man, and gets into difficulties<br />

because of her past activities.<br />

The story was written by<br />

Elinor Glyn especially for this<br />

auburn-haired star.<br />

DAVIS<br />

Annual N. V. A. Week will be<br />

celebrated at the Davis Theatre<br />

the week of April 9 with an exceptionally<br />

fine bill of Keith-Albee<br />

vaudeville, headed by Bert<br />

Lytell, popular star of the stage<br />

and screen, in a one-act playlet<br />

"The Valiant." The screen program<br />

will feature "Woman<br />

Wise," with William Russell.<br />

Bert Lytell has interrupted his<br />

screen career to take this one<br />

vaudeville tour. He was a bright<br />

star in the dramatic field before<br />

he went into pictures and is<br />

using for his present vehicle<br />

"The Valiant," a sketch in which<br />

he appeared at a Lambs Gambol.<br />

It was written by Halworthy<br />

Hall and Robert Middlemass,<br />

and the principal characters are<br />

a Warden, a Cleric, and The<br />

Girl. The story is said to be a<br />

dramatic tale of the miscarriage<br />

of justice.<br />

A second feature on the program<br />

will be Billy and Elsie<br />

Newell, in new comedy, songs<br />

and dances. Tillis and LeRue<br />

Company in a Dance-o-Logue<br />

CLARA BOW<br />

with the Four Roses, will pre­<br />

"Red Hair." the Stanley featur for sent a spectacular revue. Other<br />

the coming week.<br />

acts announced for N. V. A.<br />

Week are Fortunello and Cirillino,<br />

famous Italian Clowns, appearing<br />

by special arrangement<br />

with the Greenwich Village Follies<br />

Company, in "The Happy<br />

Hooligans;" Lang and Healy, in<br />

a comedy skit, "Who Is Your<br />

Boss?" and "The Four Footloose<br />

Fools," who harmonize vocally<br />

and step in unison.<br />

BERT LYTELL<br />

Will top the Davis bill for the week of<br />

April 9.<br />

"Woman Wise," the screen<br />

feature, is a romantic action picture<br />

of Persia. William Russell<br />

is cast as a happy-go-lucky<br />

ne'er-do-well and June Collyer is<br />

his leading woman. Topics of the<br />

Day and News Features will be<br />

shown.<br />

"HONESTLY YOURS"<br />

COMING<br />

Sherwood Smith, son of Mr.<br />

and Mrs. Merle N. Smith, of<br />

Home Avenue, Avalon, is a<br />

member of the men's chorus in<br />

"Honestly Yours," the Penn<br />

State Thespian thirty-first annual<br />

show. The Pittsburgh performance<br />

of the show will be<br />

given at Syria Mosque Monday<br />

evening, April 16. Mr. Smith, in<br />

addition to being in the show,<br />

wrote much of the music and<br />

many of the catchy lyrics in<br />

"Honestly Yours." He is a member<br />

of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon<br />

fraternity. Mr. Smith graduated<br />

from Bellevue High School in<br />

1925 and was prominent in the<br />

activities of his class. James A.<br />

Bortz is the local manager.<br />

Remember then—the ensemble<br />

! Detail, a very great deal of<br />

it; elaboration in scores of ways;<br />

broken lines running hither and<br />

yon and hither again; yet all<br />

these characteristics must be<br />

subordinated to a general simplicity;<br />

there must be restraint.<br />

Pert little hats lift an inquiring<br />

eyebrow at the goings-on of the<br />

modistes. Shoes, very lovely<br />

and extremely sophisticated bits<br />

of leather, are matched by handbags—exactly<br />

matched, too. And<br />

it is quite smart to match your<br />

gloves to the two. Then there<br />

are scarfs and handkerchiefs<br />

and boutonnieres—Worth sends<br />

us treasures of blue crystal; and<br />

there is the saucy nose veil; the<br />

swagger cape; many ways to<br />

smartness. Best of all—the<br />

ways are pleasant ones to travel<br />

—and we are in pleasant company.<br />

10 THE INDEX, Saturday, April 14, 1928<br />

Tl tie Trifles O f<br />

O u r Perfection<br />

Fashion notes that lead to new ideas In tlie new wardrobe.<br />

Theu deal with lines, iahrics, colors and accessories.<br />

bu Blanche Sears Emerson<br />

A M O N G the newest and<br />

smartest of the many<br />

new fabrics we find<br />

striped covert cloth. It has<br />

achieved instant success in the<br />

town ensemble, and may be<br />

worn quite correctly under a<br />

heavy coat when the weather<br />

demands it. Its logical accompaniment<br />

is the fur neck piece.<br />

We note that the trend in<br />

sportswear, as in afternoon and<br />

evening wear, is away from formality.<br />

This is evidenced in<br />

some ultra - smart spun silk<br />

sweaters—they are really jumpers—designed<br />

for wear with<br />

separate skirts and a matching<br />

coat. Narrow stripes are new.<br />

The long-heralded arrival of<br />

the cape, both as a separate garment<br />

and as part of the coat, has<br />

taken place. It assumed style<br />

importance with the Easter<br />

parade, and for sports wear it<br />

has no rival. A novelty cape is<br />

made of polka-dotted knit fabric,<br />

bound in color.<br />

There are new printed cottons,<br />

printed dimities and imported<br />

Liberty lawns, planned for our<br />

warm weather frocks; and some<br />

of them are trimmed with grosgrain<br />

ribbon. They show interesting<br />

treatments of flounces,<br />

tiers and pleats, following the<br />

general mode in detail.<br />

Rayon is being featured, both<br />

as a fabric and as a thread for<br />

combination with other threads<br />

—wool, cotton, silk. The sheen<br />

of this man-made textile recommends<br />

it to the buyer, and in its<br />

perfected form it is found to be<br />

a durable fabric and a truly<br />

economical one.<br />

A Winter fashion has gone<br />

into reverse, with the Spring.<br />

We are wearing our satin frocks<br />

dull side out, and trimming them<br />

with the shiny surface, which is<br />

in direct contrast to the cold<br />

weather mode of the crepetrimmed<br />

satin dress. We are inclined<br />

to like the change.<br />

You may choose from four silhouettes<br />

when you purchase<br />

your new coat. There is the<br />

straight line coat—the conserva­<br />

tive choice; there is the caped<br />

model—very smart; there is the<br />

model that flares gradually from<br />

shoulders to hem; and the model<br />

with width at the hem. Black<br />

lingerie, created from the most<br />

diaphanous fabrics—lace, chiffon<br />

and Ge<strong>org</strong>ette—is considered<br />

the ultimate of smartness.<br />

It may be had in the tailored<br />

types, very sheer, but plain of<br />

line; or in the more elaborate<br />

pieces, planned, no doubt, for<br />

formal clothes.<br />

Spring has, as usual, brought<br />

us a new shade of gray, and it is<br />

really an introduction to the pastels<br />

of Summer. It reminds one<br />

of the plushy softness of the<br />

pussy willow or the plumage of<br />

the dove from which it takes its<br />

name—dove gray. It is a becoming<br />

shade.<br />

The large woman, who has<br />

found that beads do not specially<br />

become her, no matter how beautiful<br />

they may be, is delighted<br />

with the beautiful pendants that<br />

are worn on fine silver chains.<br />

Amethysts for the parma purple<br />

frock; sapphire on blue; crystals<br />

for evening wear.<br />

The monogram, the one true<br />

expression of individuality, has<br />

increased its scope and now appears<br />

in an ensemble effect.<br />

Suede shoes in black or brown<br />

wear buckles in gun metal or<br />

gilt, matched by a buckle on a<br />

handbag of the same material<br />

and color. The buckle is monogrammed.<br />

A new little frock, inclined to<br />

nonchalance in its simplicity, is<br />

made of flat crepe and is handfagotted.<br />

Its really individual<br />

detail, however, is a sailor collar,<br />

very like those on the ubiquitous<br />

middy blouse. This is one of the<br />

so-called "nautical" fashions of<br />

the mode.<br />

It's a real struggle nowadays<br />

to make the usual thing unusual,<br />

and so designers have taken to<br />

reading horoscopes. Handkerchiefs<br />

of crepe de chine wear the<br />

signs of the Zodiac, writing in<br />

the odd language of each planet-<br />

ary period of the year. They<br />

are imported novelties.<br />

The newest pin for shoulder,<br />

hat or girdle is a javelin, made<br />

up of a large, faceted oblong<br />

jewel with a triangular arrow<br />

They're offering us kimonos<br />

for beach wear, nowadays—another<br />

evidence of a satisfying<br />

femininity. This garment is<br />

taking the place, in a measure,<br />

of the coolie coat. It is silk; it<br />

is hand-painted; and it has a<br />

companion in a parasol that is<br />

decorated to match.<br />

Lines in sports things are<br />

straight, but the goods is so<br />

manipulated that there is width<br />

to provide for the necessary<br />

freedom of movement. For real<br />

activity the skirt will be pleated,<br />

although there are some straight<br />

skirts in the sportswear group.<br />

Sometimes there is a yoke.<br />

Blue, in its many nuances, is<br />

being given first place in fashion's<br />

preference. Ensembles,<br />

daytime and evening frocks,<br />

even foot wear and all the necessary<br />

accessories use this color,<br />

so that the "something new"<br />

may well be "something blue,"<br />

this interesting season.<br />

Most of the details that are<br />

responsible for the utter smartness<br />

of the new Spring mode are<br />

nothing more than revivals. Two<br />

fabrics in the same weave or in<br />

the same printed pattern; polkadotted<br />

materials; hand-work and<br />

ruffles and tiers; panels and<br />

drapes are new-old.<br />

The Southern season stressed<br />

the shawl as an integral part of<br />

evening attire, so we may expect<br />

the Northern Summer to do the<br />

same. Large squares of sheer<br />

lace, embroidered in metal or<br />

rayon threads, catch the light in<br />

a fascinating way. Sheer capes<br />

will be worn.<br />

Handbags of lizard calf are<br />

one of the newest offerings in<br />

their particular accessory group.<br />

They come in delicate colorings—<br />

the pastel blues, nile<br />

green, salmon and gray—and<br />

the leather is iridescent. They<br />

are notable for niceties of fittings<br />

and finish.<br />

Directing their attention to<br />

the bathing suit, in anticipation<br />

of the resort season, designers<br />

have produced many new models.<br />

Among them we find a suit<br />

with a detachable skirt, and it is<br />

made of a soft cashmere jersey.<br />

The suit is figured; the skirt is<br />

plain.<br />

head. This pin can be had in In the interests of combina­<br />

many colors to accent any type tions and ensembles and sets in<br />

of costume — amethyst, ruby, general, we are offered a skirt<br />

aquamarine, topaz or crystal, and scarf set of printed silk<br />

and it is unusually effective. crepe. The skirt is attached to<br />

a bodice top and is designed for<br />

wear with a sweater or blouse.<br />

The scarf is a three-cornered<br />

affair.<br />

Some of the new coats seem to<br />

concentrate on the sleeves, many<br />

models making this interesting<br />

detail the high light of the garment.<br />

There are sleeves with<br />

the puffed cuff—of fur; with<br />

dashing cavalier cuffs, also of<br />

The importance of the sweater<br />

cannot be overestimated, for it<br />

wholly of frills of lace; another<br />

There are so many tax problems and legal questions<br />

involved in the settlement and administration<br />

of estates that the wise plan is to choose a strong<br />

advantage of the legal and investment experience of<br />

its officers. They are responsible, know what to do<br />

Frank Duveneck was born in<br />

Covington, Kentucky, in 1848.<br />

In 1870 he went to Munich and<br />

entered the Royal Academy<br />

there. He made rapid progress,<br />

taking many prizes offered by<br />

the Academy. In 1878 he opened<br />

a school of painting in Munich<br />

which became so popular that<br />

his pupils followed him to Italy,<br />

where he continued his classes<br />

in Florence and Venice. Duveneck<br />

received medals and honors<br />

of many kinds, including the<br />

special grand prize at the Panama-Pacific<br />

Exposition in 1915.<br />

The latter part of his life he<br />

spent in Cincinnati, where he<br />

painted and taught in the Art<br />

Museum. He died in 1919.<br />

Duveneck is represented in<br />

many public and private collections<br />

Banking Service That Appeals<br />

to Women<br />

Women enjoy doing all their banking at the Mellon National Bank because they find<br />

here many conveniences which contribute to an atmosphere of courteous service.<br />

Among the features which appeal especially to women are the large number of tellers'<br />

windows—24 in all—so that waiting in line is unnecessary; the attractive rest room<br />

with telephone, writing materials and maid in attendance; and the convenient Safe<br />

Deposit Vault on the main floor, with no steps to climb or descend.<br />

One of the finest gifts ever made for the public<br />

good in Pittsburgh was announced this week)' by<br />

Chancellor John G. Bowman, of the University of<br />

Pittsburgh, as having been made by Maurice and<br />

Leon Falk, manufacturers who have<br />

Splendid been liberal and active in community<br />

charities. As a. result of their gift of<br />

$750,000 one of the most completely equipped and<br />

wisely planned free dispensaries will be erected in<br />

the hospital, health and research center which is<br />

being established at the University through the generosity<br />

of Pittsburgh. Almost 1,000 individuals will<br />

daily receive the benefit of the dispensary without<br />

charge. Health lectures will be given, physicians<br />

will be trained, welfare workers will be offered unusual<br />

facilities to perfect their training and extend<br />

their experience and a staff of the best procurable<br />

medical experts will be set to work on research problems<br />

that will be of immense benefit to the health of<br />

Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania. The Falk<br />

Dispensary will be one more important step in the<br />

ambitious plan to give Pittsburgh the best scientific,<br />

health and hospital facilities to be found anywhere<br />

in the world. Already the Presbyterian, Children's<br />

and Eye and Ear hospitals have provided splendid<br />

facilities in the interest of health and mercy and the<br />

Mellon Institute of Industrial Research is sending the<br />

results of its work throughout the world for the<br />

benefit of mankind. As long as Pittsburgh men and<br />

women are so generous, with men of vision prompting<br />

the direction of their philanthropy, there need<br />

be no misgivings as to the future of this wonderful<br />

community.<br />

Once more the entire world rejoices that daring<br />

aviators who have attempted flight across the Atlantic<br />

have succeeded. This time two German flyers<br />

and a son of Ireland have flown from East to West,<br />

a feat which previously ended in disaster<br />

Success by all who attempted it. Violent gales,<br />

snow, sleet and dense fogs heretofer have<br />

sent all to their deaths. This successful flight will<br />

HOWARD HEINZ<br />

At the recent <strong>org</strong>anization meeting of the Welfare<br />

Fund of Pittsburgh Mr. Heinz was elected president<br />

and Mr. Mellon treasurer. The middle of November<br />

was decided on as the date for the first campaign<br />

for funds.<br />

mean an immense step in aerial navigation. The hazards<br />

of weather, wind and navigation will point out<br />

the way for improvements which will make future<br />

flights easier and enable long aerial voyages such as<br />

those across the Atlantic and Pacific more certain of<br />

success. The fact that the landing was made short of<br />

the destination on a desolate island in the Gulf of<br />

St. Lawrence does not mar the success of the attempt.<br />

The estimate of the world is shown by frenzied<br />

attempts of news writers and motion picture<br />

operators to reach the marooned aviators that all<br />

may hear their story and gain some idea why previous<br />

efforts were failures. Not the least important<br />

part in the adventure was the prompt radio report<br />

of the landing. Airplanes and radio will work together<br />

to make this form of navigation the fastest,<br />

safest and most comfortable. Other attempts will<br />

soon follow and the new science will gain immensely<br />

and develop rapidly.<br />

Not much attention was paid to the testimony of<br />

West Virginia operators at the coal inquiry at Washington<br />

this week but it was actually one of the most<br />

important recitals of the investigation. The operators<br />

did not mince words that their suc-<br />

Coal cess in recent years came from lack of interference<br />

with workers, resulting in greater<br />

mining efficiency, less idleness and larger tonnages<br />

at less cost. This permitted the gaining and holding<br />

of markets. It was also pointed out that one of the<br />

causes of the present demoralization of the coal industry<br />

is the increased efficiency in burning coal,<br />

resort to other forms of the operation of great and<br />

efficiently conducted central power stations, eliminating<br />

much of the wasteful use of coal in thousands of<br />

small, isolated power generating plants. There seems<br />

to be a disposition to eliminate the political party<br />

element in the effort to shape presidential contests.<br />

The Democrats of the South are as much interested<br />

in the success of the coal industry as are the Republicans<br />

and they appear to have awakened to the<br />

fact that in trying to ruin the Republicans they<br />

actually are doing their best to help a group of<br />

radicals ruin an industry which means so much for<br />

the success of their railroads, manufactures and general<br />

prosperity. It looks as if some persons took hold<br />

of a wildcat and do not know just how to let it go.<br />

It has been but a few weeks since the Liberty<br />

Bridge was placed in operation and already individuals<br />

are striving to capitalize the great traffic<br />

of the tunnels and bridge without regard to civic<br />

beauty. Efforts have been made to<br />

Unsightly use the great concrete wall at the<br />

north end of the bridge for advertising<br />

purposes and it is stated that a. well defined scheme<br />

is on foot to change the zoning classification of<br />

property at the south end of the tunnels to permit<br />

its use as an automobile wrecking yard. The people<br />

of Allegheny County have spent many millions to<br />

bore the tunnels and erect the bridge to give the<br />

South Hills a better traffic outlet and they will be<br />

compelled to expend much more before the improvement<br />

is complete. It would be a shame to permit<br />

the disfiguring of the approaches by advertising or<br />

objectionable use and it would be unworthy of Pittsburgh.<br />

The people of Allegheny County probably<br />

will hold to strict account public officials who aid<br />

such schemes.

N e w M a n a g e m e n t T a k e s O v e r W i l l i a m P e n n<br />

T H E Eppley Hotels Company,<br />

the new owner,<br />

has now taken over the<br />

management of the William<br />

Penn and Fort Pitt Hotels. This<br />

company, under the management<br />

of Eugene C. Eppley, has<br />

added these two institutions to<br />

their chain of 20 hotels reaching<br />

from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles.<br />

This chain, which operates<br />

in the Middle West and<br />

along the Pacific Coast, is among<br />

the best known National hotel<br />

systems. On the completion of<br />

the new William Penn annex, the<br />

total number of rooms in the 20<br />

Eppley institutions will approach<br />

6,000.<br />

A feature of the new management<br />

at the William Penn and<br />

Fort Pitt of particular interest<br />

to Pittsburghers is the Convention<br />

Service, to be established<br />

immediately. Every effort will<br />

be made to promote Pittsburgh<br />

as an ideal place to hold conventions.<br />

In this work, the Eppley<br />

<strong>org</strong>anization will co-operate with<br />

the Convention Bureau of the<br />

Chamber of Commerce and local<br />

officers of National <strong>org</strong>anizations.<br />

The hotel management will do<br />

everything possible to make<br />

Pittsburgh attractive to conventions.<br />

Along this line provision<br />

is being made for an exhibition<br />

hall in tlie new William Penn annex.<br />

This hall will be 200 feet<br />

long and 60 feet wide, supplementing<br />

the facilities of the proposed<br />

"Town Hall," and providing<br />

ample room for tne exhibitions<br />

accompanying conventions.<br />

The new management guarantees<br />

that unchanging rates will<br />

be established. The traveling<br />

public is assured that these<br />

rates will not be increased during<br />

any abnormal demand for<br />

accommodations. Endeavor will<br />

be made to send each guest away<br />

enthusiastic over Pittsburgh<br />

hotel service and a booster for<br />

Pittsburgh as a center of industry<br />

and of interest.<br />

To Eugene Eppley, coming to<br />

Pittsburgh is like coming home,<br />

for it was near Pittsburgh that<br />

he began his hotel career. Twenty<br />

odd years ago he made his<br />

start in this business at the then<br />

A n d Fort Pitt<br />

new McKinley Hotel, Akron,<br />

Ohio. A few years later, as manager<br />

of the Alsace Hotel, in<br />

Franklin, he was known as the<br />

youngest hotel manager in the<br />

country. He returns to Pennsylvania<br />

the largest individual<br />

hotel owner in the country.<br />

EUGENE C. EPPLEY<br />

"It is our purpose to give<br />

Pittsburgh a hotel service second<br />

to none," said Eppley, in discussing<br />

the purchase of the William<br />

Penn and Fort Pitt.<br />

"I have had my eyes on this<br />

city a good many years, and I<br />

have always felt that Pittsburgh<br />

held big possibilities as a convention<br />

city. It is centrally located,<br />

has excellent railroad facilities,<br />

and is within an overnight<br />

ride of 80 per cent of the population<br />

of the United States. With<br />

the addition of such facilities as<br />

the proposed Town Hall, Pittsburgh<br />

should take outstanding<br />

rank as a popular convention<br />

city.<br />

"My faith in Pittsburgh," Mr.<br />

Eppley continued, "is not limited<br />

to the present. The city will continue<br />

to grow in size and importance<br />

as an industrial center.<br />

Pittsburgh is an ideal location<br />

for the manufacture of many<br />

products. It is close to the raw<br />

materials, and has ample trans-<br />

A SENSATIONAL event is<br />

announced to take place<br />

at the Davis Theatre<br />

next week, when the famous dramatic<br />

star, Lenore Ulric, will appear<br />

as headline feature of the<br />

Keith-Albee vaudeville program.<br />

The screen presentation will be<br />

-Marie Prevost in "On to Reno."<br />

Recently Miss Ulric appeared<br />

at the Nixon Theatre as star of<br />

"Lulu Belle," and now, at the<br />

conclusion of that tour, is taking<br />

a brief flier into the variety. She<br />

will use as her vehicle a smart<br />

and subtle sketch called "A<br />

Legend of London," written by<br />

the fashionable and sophisti-<br />

LENORE ULRIC<br />

Heads the Davis bill for the week of<br />

April 23.<br />

cated Michael Arlen. This sketch<br />

bodes well to be a record breaker<br />

and a criterion for all vaudeville<br />

dramatic interludes. Written by<br />

Arlen, the settings by James<br />

Reynolds, it sets a very high<br />

standard of dramatic fare. The<br />

cast includes, in support of Miss<br />

Ulric, another Broadway star,<br />

Sidney Blackmer. Not in many<br />

moons have vaudeville patrons<br />

encountered entertainment of<br />

such merit.<br />

Grouped around Miss Ulric in<br />

the bill will be five other Keith-<br />

Albee acts, including Burns and<br />

Wilson, in a comedy and singing<br />

act. "The Untrained Nurse," the<br />

Hong Kong Troupe, sensational<br />

jugglers from the Orient and<br />

others.<br />

Latest News Reels and Topics<br />

of the Day will bring the program<br />

to a close.<br />

STANLEY<br />

A timely revue, "Around the<br />

Clock," will be the colorful stage<br />

presentation at the Stanley Theatre<br />

for the week beginning<br />

Monday, April 23. It is a Henry<br />

W. Crull production, featuring<br />

THE THREE CO-EDS<br />

In "Around the Clock," will be the<br />

stage attraction at the Stanley<br />

next week.<br />

The Three Co-Eds, a trio of attractive<br />

harmony singers; the<br />

Kaufman Girls, a group of eight<br />

nifty unison steppers; Lady<br />

Tsen Mei, soprano soloist; Marty<br />

White, singer of songs, and a<br />

getter of laughs; Morosco and<br />

Daniels, acrobatic and interpretive<br />

dancers from the Winter<br />

Garden; and Mildred LaSalle,<br />

specialty artist.<br />

The screen feature will be<br />

Richard Dix in "Sporting<br />

Goods." It is farce—unadulterated,<br />

hilarious farce. Dix plays<br />

the role of a golf suit salesman,<br />

who finds himself mistaken for a<br />

millionaire, and is forced to<br />

make-good with the girl he<br />

loves. In the supporting cast<br />

are Gertrude Olmsted, who plays<br />

opposite Dix, Ford Sterling, Phil<br />

Strange, Myrtle Stedman, Wade<br />

Boteler, Claude King and Maude<br />

Turner Gordon.<br />

There will be the usual news<br />

features, and Topics of the Day<br />

to round out the program.<br />

NIXON<br />

"Wings" enters upon its third<br />

week at the Nixon Theatre Monday<br />

afternoon, April 23. This<br />

screen production depicting with<br />

thrilling realism what the air<br />

aces did during the World War,<br />

provides plenty of exciting entertainment.<br />

The battle scenes<br />

show the wide stretch of the Allied<br />

front and the deadly work<br />

In "Wings," which continues for another<br />

week at the Nixon Theatre.<br />

which the air aces did in bombing<br />

the trenches and lines of the<br />

enemy, swooping down like birds<br />

of prey, scattering regiments<br />

and companies. These scenes<br />

were made to order in an area of<br />

five square miles near Fort Sam<br />

Houston, outside San Antonio,<br />

Texas.<br />

William Wellman, a young<br />

man who served his country in<br />

the Lafayette Squadron during<br />

the war, is responsible for this<br />

epical film of the first air fighting<br />

known to mankind. Sharing<br />

the responsibility with Mr. Wellman<br />

were Lucien Hubbard, Paramount's<br />

back to the earliest settlers in<br />

this section. She is of Dutch extraction<br />

and if she wished, could<br />

sign herself Anna Lucretia Van<br />

Nuyse Case. Shortly after her<br />

birth the family removed to<br />

South Branch, New Jersey, miles<br />

away from a railroad station. It<br />

was here that she attended the<br />

modest country school and sang<br />

in the choir of the Reformed<br />

Church of which her father was<br />

a deacon. As Anna Case grew<br />

older her poverty was so dire<br />

that she sold soap, helped neighbors<br />

with housework when they<br />

had company, and drove the<br />

family horse and buggy between<br />

the village and station for fifty<br />

cents a trip. By various other<br />

means, she managed to provide<br />

herself with a new dress and<br />

pair of shoes each year. She<br />

still has stored away a music<br />

cabinet, garish souvenir of her<br />

activity as a soap agent. Her<br />

only solace in these days was<br />

music. She had been taught to<br />

play <strong>org</strong>an and violin, her father<br />

playing the latter in country<br />

fashion. With this equipment<br />

she secured when fifteen years<br />

old, a position as <strong>org</strong>anist in the<br />

Church of Neshanic, a Jersey<br />

village six miles distant from<br />

her home. Rain or shine found<br />

her every Sunday morning<br />

astride the family mare, Daisy,<br />

on her way to this post to earn<br />

twelve dollars a month. During<br />

these jogging rides she planned<br />

and dreamed of the future. Only<br />

one person, the wife of a local<br />

merchant, took interest in her<br />

scheme. She and her husband<br />

loaned Anna Case $75, the only<br />

financial assistance she has ever<br />

received toward her musical<br />

career. A vocal teacher was<br />

found in Somerville, a nearby<br />

township, and arrangements<br />

were made for two lessons a<br />

week at seventy-five cents a lesson.<br />

The singer made rapid<br />

progress. In 1909 she met Governor<br />

Stokes of New Jersey, who<br />

interested himself in her career<br />

and procured her an engagement<br />

at the afternoon musicales<br />

at the Hotel Bellevue Stratford<br />

in Philadelphia. With borrowed<br />

gown and finery she sang<br />

the first of a series of engagements<br />

there. She had no money<br />

for an accompanist and played<br />

her own piano part. The Metropolitan<br />

Opera Company appears<br />

in Philadelphia every Tuesday<br />

and on this afternoon, the director,<br />

Andreas Dippel, strolling<br />

into the Bellevue Stratford,<br />

heard Anna Case sing. He engaged<br />

her on the spot. Just one<br />

year and six months after her<br />

first music lesson this artist got<br />

her contract with the Metropolitan<br />

Opera Company.<br />

France is not too busy decorating<br />

aviators to overlook the<br />

distinguishing achievements of<br />

contemporary musicians. Harold<br />

Bauer is the most recent of<br />

musicians to be decorated by the<br />

French Government. He was<br />

made a member of the Legion of<br />

Honor during March, 1927. This<br />

makes the third time Mr. Bauer<br />

has been honored by the French<br />

Government. Several years ago<br />

he was made an Officer of the<br />

French Academy and he is also<br />

an Officer of Public Instruction.<br />

F R O M T H E E D I T O R ' S W I N D O W<br />

Startling achievements in aerial navigation are<br />

following each other so rapidly that before long<br />

much of the incentive which has revolutionized airplane<br />

development may have disappeared. Two intrepid<br />

aviators have just flown 2200<br />

Wonderful miles over the Arctic area from Point<br />

Barrow to a point near Spitzbergen<br />

in remarkably short time and without exceptional<br />

discomfort. It was a piece of amazing navigation<br />

in a monoplane that in itself did not weigh 1000<br />

pounds. In less than one day these two men traversed<br />

portions of the globe never before seen by<br />

man, found that no additional land lies in the Arctic<br />

Sea north of Alaska and did many times in less<br />

than one day what had previously caused Arctic explorers<br />

years of careful preparation and years of<br />

exhausting efforts, privation and suffering without<br />

tangible results. The trip is declared to be the outstanding<br />

accomplishment in airplane navigation, surpassing<br />

in the judgment of experts the east and west<br />

crossing of the Atlantic and the famous journey of<br />

Lindbergh. Before one crew of flyers has had opportunity<br />

to receive the plaudits of the world and<br />

the welcome of enthusiastic admirers another crew<br />

in an entirely different sphere accomplishes an even<br />

more sensational feat. The airplane is moving as<br />

fast into becoming a necessity in everyday life as<br />

did the automobile. Even now men with vision are<br />

predicting regular communication between the old<br />

and new worlds by way of the North Pole area. In<br />

the meantime preparations are fast approaching completion<br />

for an attempt to conquer the Antarctic by<br />

air and probably it will not be long before a machine<br />

is perfected which will enable the crossing of the<br />

Pacific. It is a comparatively short time since Prof.<br />

Samuel P. Langiey tinkered with his crude apparatus<br />

on thei Observatory Hill campus of the Western<br />

University but marvellous development has taken<br />

place since. Possibly no other industry made as<br />

great strides in a similar period. Normal air navigation<br />

is moving upon us so fast that it behooves<br />

us to lose no timet in providing ample landing<br />

portions in every strategic situation in the Pittsburgh<br />

District. The sooner Pittsburgh becomes<br />

recognized as a safe harbor for airplanes just so<br />

much quicker will this section take its place as one<br />

of the important centers in a great industry.<br />

Not long ago statements were made in newspapers<br />

in all parts of the country that New York was much<br />

smokier than Pittsburgh. We had no doubt of the<br />

truth of this statement but the thing which grated<br />

upon us was that Pittsburgh should be<br />

Smoke used as the basis of an odious comparison.<br />

There was a time when Pittsburgh gloried<br />

in the appelation "Smoky City" and the declaration<br />

often was made that a smoke pall was a sign of<br />

prosperity and that filthy as it was we were glad to<br />

see it. Then we awoke to the fact that smoke of<br />

that character was wasteful not only of good fuel<br />

but of money to repair the damage of so much soot,<br />

paint, laundries, health. So we began scientifically<br />

and patiently to abate the nuisance. Firemen<br />

ROBERT M. KENNEY<br />

At a meeting ol directors of the Crucible Steel Company<br />

of America Horace S. Wilkinson was re-elected<br />

chairman and F. B. Hufnagel president. Robert M.<br />

Kenney was elected vice president and A. T. Galbraith<br />

was re-elected vice president and general sales<br />

manager. At a meeting of directors of the Pittsburgh<br />

Crucible Steel Company, a subsidiary of the Crucible<br />

Steel Company of America, Robert M. Kenney was<br />

elected president and W. W. Williams, vice president<br />

in charge of sales.<br />

were taught better methods of firing but above all<br />

power, which had been generated at isolated and<br />

wasteful plants, was produced at one great central<br />

plant, eliminating the many smoke producers in<br />

every section and doing much to make Pittsburgh a<br />

clean city. Distribution of steam from a very efficient<br />

steam station removed the last vestige of the<br />

downtown, individual power plant, making Pittsburgh,<br />

despite its use of bituminous coal, one of the<br />

cleanest cities on the continent. The point is we<br />

have a clean city and we should let the world know<br />

about it. In our case it means the efficient burning<br />

of coal and the cheapest possible power. If we<br />

would let it be known that Pittsburgh is clean and<br />

has cheap power there would not be the same inclination<br />

to use us as an unenviable comparison but<br />

the fact would be accepted that we are a clean,<br />

healthful community where industry is most apt to<br />

prosper. The obligation lies with the lunch eating<br />

civic bodies whose greatest tendency is consistent<br />

slumber.<br />

It is very fortunate that the United States have<br />

in the White House just now a man with the courage<br />

of President Coolidge. Stimulated by politics<br />

and by a hysteria with which public men sometimes<br />

are afflicted Congress appears determined<br />

Floods to pass the so-called flood control bill notwithstanding<br />

official declarations that the<br />

expenditures made possible by the bill will exceed<br />

one billion five hundred million dollars, or about<br />

$14 for every man, woman and child in continental<br />

United States. Almost every person agrees that<br />

something should be done by the United States<br />

government to help prevent the floods in the Mississippi<br />

Valley but to squander such a stupendous sum<br />

is wilful waste. There is a wide difference of<br />

opinion just how the feat will be accomplished but<br />

the one grounded in the greatest common sense is<br />

the plan to restore to the Father of Waters practically<br />

all of the area he had before men began to<br />

encroach upon him. A certain volume of water<br />

drives into the Mississippi basin periodically. It<br />

may not happen often but sometimes all of the<br />

tributaries pour their floods at the same time. That<br />

is the problem and in the judgment of engineers<br />

the only relief possible is to restore to the river an<br />

area which will permit this flood to reach the ocean<br />

with the least damage. If the conventions and the<br />

presidential elections were out of the way the pressure<br />

upon Cong'ress would be less and the drain on<br />

the public purse would be eased considerably. All<br />

of which warns us that it is a matter of the greatest<br />

importance to send into the White House a. man who<br />

has sufficient courage to look beyond parties and<br />

sections and fearlessly act for the whole people. We<br />

are interested in floods here and we are interested<br />

in the plight of the people to the South of us but<br />

we doubt very much whether our interest goes to<br />

the extent that every man, woman and child of us<br />

would voluntarily accept a tax of $14 when so much<br />

is needed at home.

M U S I C A N D A R T<br />

IN the Wunderly Galleries is<br />

a small exhibition of paintings<br />

by A. H. Gorson, of<br />

Pittsburgh and New York, including<br />

eight or nine canvases.<br />

Pittsburghers have been familiar<br />

for years with the work of<br />

Mr. Gorson, who finds much that<br />

is paintable in the city's steel<br />

mills and furnaces, but it seems<br />

to be a new Gorson who has<br />

come back with this group of<br />

pictures. The magic of fire seems<br />

to have touched his brush. There<br />

are several daylight scenes,<br />

showing the mills, trailing<br />

clouds of smoke and steam,<br />

foiled against a blue sky that is<br />

reflected in the river. These are<br />

alluring but it is the night<br />

scenes, in the flare of the flame<br />

and the surroundings it lights,<br />

that Mr. Gorson has excelled.<br />

Tiny flecks of light, the lamps on<br />

passing small river craft, from<br />

homes on the hills above the<br />

rivers, continue the impression<br />

of brilliance that the fires of the<br />

mills give forth. The exhibition<br />

continues until the first of the<br />

week.<br />

Anne Griffiths will present a<br />

program of music by contemporary<br />

composers, assisted by T.<br />

Carl Whitmer, in the Y. M. and<br />

W h a t About Your Insurance?<br />

M E N and women work hard to pay for life<br />

insurance to protect those who are dear<br />

to them. Then they expect the beneficiaries,<br />

in assuming the sudden responsibility of management,<br />

to use the same business wisdom they<br />

have shown in accumulating the estate.<br />

The sensible plan is to create an Insurance<br />

Trust and make certain that the distribution<br />

is wisely directed by a strong<br />

institution of long and tried experience<br />

like The Union Trust Company of<br />

ETHEL DAVIS<br />

Will appear on the Davis Theatre<br />

program next week.<br />

NED Wayburn's Buds of<br />

1928, an aggregation of<br />

youthful coryphees, will<br />

hold headline position in the<br />

Keith-Albee vaudeville program<br />

at the Davis Theatre next week,<br />

while the photoplay feature will<br />

be "Almost Human," with Vera<br />

Reynolds and Kenneth Thomson.<br />

The insignia of Ned Wayburn<br />

on a dancing act is always a<br />

guarantee of excellence. In his<br />

company this season are eight<br />

debutantes schooled under the<br />

master's direction, and appear­<br />

ing under the leadership of Peter<br />

S. Larkin, a dancer of great ability,<br />

who has appeared as feature<br />

artist here and abroad. There<br />

are ten scenes to the revue, each<br />

consisting of three or more numbers,<br />

staged in colorful settings.<br />

Ethel Davis, singing comedienne,<br />

late of the Greenwich Village<br />

Follies, will contribute a<br />

skit known as "Refreshing Song<br />

Chatter," made up of comedy<br />

bits punctuated with character<br />

songs. The frozen North has<br />

been selected by Chisholm and<br />

Breen as the setting for their<br />

humorous offering, "A Frozen<br />

Romance," in which they prove<br />

there is fun in the snow country,<br />

if one knows how to get it out.<br />

Nelson B. Clifford and Marie<br />

Marion, another important booking,<br />

are an ideal comedy combination.<br />

They came to vaudeville<br />

from musical comedy, after<br />

appearing in "Katinka" and<br />

other successes. Inez and De-<br />

Wyn will present an art classic<br />

"Adagio," said to be a perfect<br />

blend of grace and poetry with<br />

the higher form of acrobatics.<br />

The screen feature, "Almost<br />

Human," an appealing story by<br />

Richard Harding Davis, will<br />

show Vera Reynolds, as star,<br />

supported by Kenneth Thomson,<br />

a Pittsburgh boy and a graduate<br />

of Carnegie Tech Dramatic<br />

School. The program will include<br />

views of up-to-the-minute<br />

happenings in the world news.<br />

STANLEY<br />

A chance ride in a motor car<br />

saved her life—and then ruined<br />

it. Lured from a train by the<br />

honeyed words of a lover she<br />

drove through the countryside<br />

for a few hours. The train went<br />

on and was wrecked, killing<br />

nearly every soul on board. That<br />

is the story told in Pola Negri's<br />

latest starring picture "Three<br />

Sinners" which is coming to the<br />

Stanley next week.<br />

What happened when she read<br />

the news of her own death in the<br />

morning papers? What faltering<br />

words came to her lips when<br />

she stood face to face with her<br />

stern father-in-law in her lover's<br />

house? What did she do when<br />

that father-in-law said with icy<br />

finality, "My daughter-in-law is<br />

dead—she died last night in the<br />

wrecked train!"<br />

"Three Sinners," one of the<br />

greatest of Pola Negri's starring<br />

vehicles, tells with tense drama<br />

this great story and the answer<br />

to these questions. Paul Lukas,<br />

Tullio Carminati, and Olga Baclanova<br />

appear in support of the<br />

star.<br />

The stage program will feature<br />

a colorful revue, "In Bermuda,"<br />

with the Eight Revelers,<br />

Williams and Douglas, Sully and<br />

Coogan, Madeleine Killileen, and<br />

the Leibling sisters, presenting<br />

specialties under the leadership<br />

of Phil Spitalny, Pittsburgh's<br />

popular director. In addition to<br />

providing the music incidental to<br />

TRAINS . . . business . . . even cooking these<br />

days seems to hinge so much on knowing<br />

exactly what time it is. When you have to rush<br />

for that dentist appointment or hurry to meet<br />

the foursome at the first golf tee, it's mighty<br />

comforting to know you have the correct time<br />

about you.<br />

That's when you appreciate a fine watch—a<br />

watch in which you can place utter faith—in<br />

fine,aHamilton—the watch of railroadaccuracy.<br />

We have a beautiful new line of Hamilton<br />

models, both pocket and strap, whose beauty of<br />

design and engraving is exceeded only by their<br />

uncanny accuracy. Come in and see them.<br />

They range in price from $48 to $685.<br />

12 THE INDEX, Saturday, May 5, 1928<br />

F a s h i o n P l a y s M a n y Parts<br />

Modes within modes and tupes within tijpes make ior interest.<br />

One never has to hunt lor something new.<br />

bu Blancke Seo<br />

W E know that there are<br />

things for sports; for<br />

town; for formal and<br />

for informal wear. What we find<br />

correct for the one is not correct<br />

for the other; that we also<br />

know. But what we do not fully<br />

realize is the fact that within<br />

each separate mode there are<br />

many modes, and contributing to<br />

variety there are scores of<br />

things that assume importance<br />

in their respective groups. We<br />

acknowledge our debt to this<br />

same variety with the feeling<br />

that many interesting things are<br />

passing us by, things that are<br />

not included in general fashion<br />

reports because there is not<br />

space for them. It is with<br />

sub-divisions, rather than divisions,<br />

that we are now concerned;<br />

they will touch many<br />

modes and portray many moods<br />

of the versatile thing we call<br />

fashion.<br />

The blouse may well be termed<br />

a subsidiary of the suit, for it is<br />

governed by the suit. It is one<br />

of the economies practised by<br />

the woman who budgets her income;<br />

it is included in the extravagances<br />

of the woman who<br />

loves variety; it is a servant of<br />

fashion. It is far less costly than<br />

a new frock, and may be used<br />

with the odd skirt that is always<br />

to be found hanging in the wardrobe.<br />

This season the blouse is<br />

being stressed for its own sake<br />

as well as in the interests of<br />

variety and economy. Ensemble<br />

suits frequently start with a<br />

coat and skirt, making one<br />

blouse imperative and two or<br />

more a decided asset. The new<br />

blouses have a definite purpose<br />

in the mode and are distinguished<br />

by the same flair for detail<br />

that is found in the separate<br />

frocks of the moment.<br />

It is possible to assemble several<br />

frocks around the nucleus of<br />

a separate skirt, which may be<br />

pleated or otherwise. One skirt<br />

will serve several blouses, if it<br />

be in a neutral color and of a<br />

durable fabric. Tailored blouses<br />

of silk or crepe de chine are inclined<br />

to severity, though that<br />

severity is softened by occasion­<br />

al lingerie touches. Silks and<br />

crepes, especially the prints, also<br />

serve the dressier ensemble, and<br />

they go in for a very great deal<br />

of decorative detail. Tucking,<br />

stitching and fagotting are<br />

popular; the monogram has returned<br />

to favor; and the neckline<br />

is depended upon to add<br />

beauty to many of the models.<br />

Surplice blouses are in favor,<br />

and they surprise, occasionally,<br />

with a narrow belt. Trimmings<br />

frequently assume assymetric<br />

effects.<br />

In its basic form the tailored<br />

suit is just the same as it has<br />

always been. Its fabric is the<br />

sort that meets all the demands<br />

of fine tailoring; its lines are<br />

simple; and its details are carefully<br />

subordinated to its workmanship.<br />

Season in and season<br />

out these characteristics are the<br />

same. It depends for its individuality<br />

upon the whimsies of<br />

the general mode, so long as it<br />

does not find itself subordinated<br />

to them. No better proof of the<br />

popularity of this costume is<br />

needed than the very apparent<br />

place of prominence it holds in<br />

the new mode, which is anything<br />

but tailored. There are uses to<br />

which this suit is devoted that<br />

find no other outfit quite as satisfactory<br />

or appropriate, for it<br />

gives one the appearance of being<br />

well-dressed, yet does not<br />

hint of over elaboration.<br />

In this suit we find clean-cut<br />

lines, pockets, collars and sleeve<br />

cuffs meticulously tailored; perfection<br />

of fit where perfection is<br />

imperative. This is the basis<br />

upon which the mode of the tailleur<br />

is built each season. This<br />

particular season we meet it in<br />

many guises, every one of them<br />

true, basically, to the spirit or<br />

theme of the type. But jackets<br />

are not always hip-length or<br />

even three-quarters; they are, at<br />

times, very near the hem of the<br />

skirt. Skirts are frequently<br />

pleated; they may even be so<br />

bold as to flare a bit. The strict<br />

tailleur is a fur-less suit; but<br />

with it the fox scarf is worn, or<br />

the on-two-or-three skin scarf of<br />

sable or fitch. A kerchief peeps<br />

from the coat pocket; the hat is<br />

small and simple in effect; there<br />

are tailored shoes, slip-on gloves<br />

and a tailored bag.<br />

So important is footwear in<br />

the completion of a perfect ensemble<br />

that it is imperative that<br />

we keep constantly in touch with<br />

its ever changing mode. Fabrics,<br />

lines and colors change, and keep<br />

pace with parallel changes in the<br />

general mode. In a general way<br />

black and the nuances of brown<br />

are stressed. Gray, with accent<br />

on gun-metal, and beige are important,<br />

especially in combination<br />

with black and brown, for<br />

' $ N o w !<br />

the only safe protection<br />

trims in a contrasting color have<br />

assumed significance in the footwear<br />

mode. With the coming of<br />

Summer there will be white; the<br />

pastel shades will appear; and<br />

colored kid shoes will be a feature<br />

of shoe fashions. Of late<br />

there have been many models in<br />

blue kid, this novelty due to the<br />

dominance of the blue tones in<br />

the long list that appears on the<br />

Spring color card.<br />

Patent leather, suede and kidskin<br />

seem to rule, in the order<br />

named. In the brown range<br />

suede and calfskin are important;<br />

the browns combine with<br />

beige or black; and black combines<br />

with brown or gray. Patent<br />

leather is used with the reptilian<br />

leathers—the vamp of one<br />

and the quarter of the other—<br />

python the ruling favorite for<br />

the purpose. Since gray is<br />

popular in the general mode we<br />

may expect shoes in this color—<br />

two shades effective. The shoe<br />

cut low at the side has found<br />

favor with women who possess a<br />

slender foot, but the wide foot<br />

will spread when there is no support.<br />

Strapped models, with one,<br />

two, or the T-strap, are popular;<br />

the opera in many versions is<br />

featured; and the Oxford is<br />

offered in many graceful versions.<br />

Tailored pumps, one-strap<br />

and sabot strap models, also Oxfords<br />

and step-ins are found in<br />

the sports group.<br />

Fashion has returned moire<br />

silk to favor, that lovely stuff<br />

that used to be called "watered"<br />

silk. The present version of it<br />

is much lovelier, as a result of<br />

the skill of artisan weavers who<br />

recognize its beauty, and it is a<br />

most supple and adaptable fabric<br />

as we know it now. Because<br />

it has characteristics of luxury<br />

the new feminine theme finds it<br />

most usable, and we note its<br />

presence everywhere in the<br />

mode. Afternoon frocks are<br />

made of it, for it is so supple, in<br />

its new form, that it not only<br />

drapes satisfactorily, but does<br />

everything a designer asks of it.<br />

In one or two-piece models, it<br />

adopts side bow details, surplice<br />

effects, drapes, pleats and the<br />

like. In the afternoon models<br />

we note the new colors—melon,<br />

violet, Chantilly Green, the<br />

beiges and the ultra-smart "offwhite."<br />

Formal afternoon coats are<br />

made of it and richly trimmed<br />

with fox, or the new flat furs,<br />

which include sable, ermine, butter<br />

mole and caracul. In the<br />

evening models, which incline to<br />

°dd shades of violet, beige, green<br />

and the new "sailor" blue, we<br />

see exaggerated fulness at the<br />

side; the bustle-bow theme; and<br />

the modern version of the robe<br />

de style. With this fabric as a<br />

medium, designers try out new<br />

ideas with a fair assurance of<br />

success. It is very effective in<br />

models that feature the uneven<br />

hemline. There is a tendency to<br />

make the evening wrap that ac­<br />

T h e<br />

companies the rather elaborate<br />

frock simple, for contrast. Moire<br />

is the keynote of a new fabric<br />

group that inclines to stiffness,<br />

and with taffeta and satin, expresses<br />

the mode of formality.<br />

And "watered" silk is the loveliest<br />

of the three.<br />

Some mention must be made<br />

of lace, in any discussion of fabrics,<br />

just as fabrics must be in­<br />

a fabric or as a trimming, for<br />

attractions ever booked<br />

by the Davis Theatre, will share<br />

headline honors with Elsa Ersa<br />

and Nat Ayer in the Stanley<br />

vaudeville program next week.<br />

The screen feature will be "Feel<br />

My Pulse."<br />

a system of clever gymnastic<br />

feats; a miniature musical comedy,<br />

"Auto Row," will be presented<br />

by Frank Favis and<br />

Adele Darnell; an elaborate revue<br />

with Minor and Root, two<br />

musical comedy stars, assisted<br />

by a large company, and designated<br />

as "Dance, Color and<br />

Speed," will be one of the high<br />

spots of the program.<br />

Supplementing the bill, there<br />

will be shown Bebe Daniel's latest<br />

comedy hit, "Feel My Pulse,"<br />

in which the captivating star is<br />

shown as a "near-invalid," restored<br />

to health by a series of<br />

humorous complications. Latest<br />

satirical novel, "The Private Life<br />

of Helen of Troy," will be the<br />

Stanley Jubilee Week attraction<br />

at the Stanley Theatre begin-<br />

do Cortez will be the notorious<br />

Paris.<br />

The picture has comedy in<br />

generous proportions—sly, subtle,<br />

broad and humorous by turn.<br />

It takes ancient Greek mythology<br />

as its foundation, with particular<br />

stress upon the abduction<br />

of Helen by Paris and the famous<br />

wooden horse which led to<br />

the Trojan war. The unusual<br />

feature is that the story makes<br />

the characters so human that<br />

they might have lived today, and<br />

the episode of the elopement is<br />

made intensely funny. The picture<br />

is richly costumed and displays<br />

sets of breath taking magnitude.<br />

On the stage the Stanley Jubilee<br />

Strutters will entertain with<br />

a melange of songs, dances and<br />

beautiful girls. Feature acts<br />

culled from musical comedy and<br />

the Broadway Revue stage will<br />

contribute their specialties, the<br />

whole to be staged in a setting<br />

of g<strong>org</strong>eous brilliance. Adding<br />

to the gaiety will be a Kazoo<br />

Vol. LVII. May 12, 1928 No. 19<br />

Pittsburgh has made many mistakes and it is to<br />

be hoped that it will avoid any more. The proposition<br />

is made seriously to extend the State Armory building<br />

in the Schenley Farms district and at a cost of<br />

$1,000,000 erect an adequate town<br />

Town Hall hall or public auditorium and thereby<br />

save the taxpayers of Allegheny<br />

County $5,000,000, the difference between the estimated<br />

amount the armory extension will cost and<br />

the estimate of $6,000,000 figured by the County<br />

Commissioners as necessary to fittingly equip Pittsburgh<br />

for large public assemblages. The scheme is<br />

one of the most ridiculous yet proposed and the<br />

dangerous and mischievous feature of it is that the<br />

commissioners will be charged in the bond campaign<br />

with being extravagant. There is little thought that<br />

the proposition was made in good faith. In the first<br />

place the State of Pennsylvania, which provided the<br />

armory, has nothing to do with furnishing Pittsburgh<br />

or Allegheny County with a town hall. When<br />

they start schemes like this there will be a vigorous<br />

protest from every section of the state. In the second<br />

place, the site is in no way suited for town hall<br />

or convention purposes. They have too many expensive<br />

public buildings in that section now. The<br />

congestion now with Forbes Field, the Stadium, the<br />

Memorial Hall, University Club, Schenley Apartments,<br />

Carnegie Institute and Library and other assemblage<br />

halls is great enough. When the Cathedral<br />

of Learning and the Hospital and Medical group are<br />

completed this congestion will be aggravated further.<br />

A great convention hall ehould be located within<br />

easy and inexpensive access of the hotel accommodations<br />

and central with respect to the principal<br />

transportation facilities from every section of Pittsburgh,<br />

Allegheny and Western Pennsylvania. Pitts­<br />

burgh already has made a succession of blunders in<br />

locating its public buildings. When it builds its town<br />

hall it should build for all time and in such a location<br />

that it will be central with the expanding district<br />

and within easy access. The logical and sensible<br />

location is somewhere in the Triangle or on the<br />

CHANCELLOR JOHN G. BOWMAN<br />

ANDREW W. ROBERTSON<br />

To prepare students for their contact with the business<br />

world The University of Pittsburgh, of which<br />

Chancellor Bowman is the guiding spirit, have a course<br />

of instruction in public utilities administration in its<br />

evening school of economics. One of the public utilities<br />

in whose offices University students have been<br />

spending several hours each week, to become acquainted<br />

with practical administrative and official<br />

routine work, is the Philadelphia Company, of which<br />

Mr. Robertson is the head.<br />

Northside within a short distance of the hotels, railroad<br />

terminals and the gathering point of other<br />

forms of transportation. Otherwise it will be a failure<br />

and a source of regret for decades to come. The<br />

best site is opposite the Pennsylvania Station in the<br />

tract bounded by Liberty, Grant, Seventh Avenue<br />

and the Chamber of Commerce building. The width<br />

between Grant and William Penn Place may not be<br />

great enough but the latter thoroughfare may be<br />

bridged and the adjoining property absorbed. It has<br />

been suggested that the large tract at the point now<br />

used by the Pennsylvania Railroad for warehouse<br />

purposes and formerly occupied by the Western<br />

Pennsylvania Exposition would be suitable or sufficient<br />

ground in the Northside just north of the Allegheny<br />

River could be obtained to give an admirable<br />

site. The main thing is to use common sense in the<br />

selection of a central site which will be near hotel<br />

capacity and transportation facilities and at the<br />

same time will permit the largest possible space adjacent<br />

for parking automobiles. Any selection before<br />

the bond issue is passed will cause jealousies and<br />

arguments which will endanger the passage of the<br />

issue. The thing to do is to secure the money which<br />

will give Pittsburgh a creditable building and then<br />

have a committee of sensible men above the temptations<br />

of community and real estate demands select<br />

the site. Pittsburgh cannot afford to make a mistake.<br />

Prohibitionists are pointing with pride to the<br />

statement of an investigator for a weekly magazine<br />

that Pittsburgh, notwithstanding its reputation, is<br />

not the wettest city in Pennsylvania. This investigator<br />

relates: "A short time ago I made<br />

Damp a three day visit to Pittsburgh. On my<br />

arrival I was assured by a friend that<br />

there was more whisky sold in Pittsburgh than ever<br />

before. I went all over looking for somebody drunk.<br />

I did not find anyone. I was told to come out Saturday<br />

night on a train called the 'bummer' and I could<br />

find plenty of drunks. So I took the 'bummer' at<br />

near midnight. In the depot there were several<br />

hundred men but not a drunk. The 'bummer' was<br />

crowded. I went through every car and found not<br />

one single drunk. Yet Pittsburgh is said to be the<br />

wettest city in Pennsylvania." The trouble is Pittsburgh<br />

has been grossly maligned for years. The<br />

bigots as well as vicious politicians kept throwing<br />

rocks at the Secretary of the Treasury, declaring<br />

that because he came from Pittsburgh this city was<br />

favored in law observance and that wetness was encouraged.<br />

As a matter of fact Pittsburgh has been<br />

more rigorously investigated and raided than any<br />

other community and that compared with other<br />

centers it is a near approach to Paradise. Scandal<br />

mongers would like to think Pittsburgh is a veritable<br />

dark hole and prohibitionists would like to believe<br />

because Pittsburgh is comparatively clean all other<br />

centers are free of the bootlegger and the rum he<br />

purveys. It is a wide leap from the ignorant venom<br />

of the one to foolish belief of the other. Pittsburgh<br />

is a clean city morally and we hope it remains so,<br />

but church bigotry and consistent meddling will not<br />

improve it.

LOVERS of good horses and also those<br />

whose interest in a Horse Show lies<br />

mainly in its picturesque elements will<br />

be equally pleased with the show June seventh,<br />

eighth and ninth in the Allegheny<br />

Country Club ring on Sewickley Heights. A<br />

Corinthian class, participants in which will be<br />

members of recognized hunts in full dress,<br />

will inspire some of the artistic pleasure<br />

which Mr. A. J. Munnings must have experienced<br />

quite often and which he recorded in<br />

numerous hunt pictures. "Pink coats" and<br />

high silk hats, in mounted groups appeal to<br />

everyone's love of the ceremonies, quite aside<br />

from the value of the mount. The John C.<br />

Oliver Memorial cup will be the object of<br />

their efforts.<br />

Another class which will work up its own<br />

enthusiasm, if any working is necessary, is<br />

the children's jumping class, an innovation.<br />

In it will be included children of many ages,<br />

—debutantes and their swains of many years<br />

to come.<br />

As usual luncheon will be served on the<br />

grounds, buffet style, from a booth with Mrs.<br />

T. McKee Graham in charge. She will be<br />

of Center Avenue, took place in the<br />

First Baptist Church. The Rev. Dr. C. Wallace<br />

Petty performed the ceremony. On the<br />

altar were gladioli and yellow roses. Cathedral<br />

tapers gleamed through ferns and yellow<br />

ribbons marked the aisle. The bride wore a<br />

gown of ivory pointe de soie, built on straight<br />

lines, with close-fitting sleeves and a train<br />

that fell from the waist line. A narrow band<br />

of tulle outlined the V-neck and a large bow<br />

at the back of the gown ended in two long<br />

streamers. The veil of tulle was arranged<br />

in cap effect, with four wings. The bride's<br />

Cibotium ferns decorated the chancel<br />

and on the altar were Ascension lilies. Spring<br />

flowers were white lilacs and yellow roses and<br />

were elected for 1928-29: President,<br />

Maurice R. Scharff; vice presidents, Francis<br />

S. Guthrie, Warren I. Bickford and J. W.<br />

Mr. Scharff graduated from Massachusetts<br />

Institute of Technology with the degree of<br />

degree of Master of Science at the same institution<br />

in 1911. He is a member of the American<br />

Society of Civil Engineers, American Institute<br />

The Secretary of the Navy, Curtis Dwight<br />

Wilbur, has sent the first unsolicited contribution<br />

to the Flower Day Fund for the Children's<br />

Hospital. Saturday, May nineteenth,<br />

is to be Flower Day. Secretary Wilbur, in<br />

his position as head of the navy, evidently<br />

agrees with the motto of the American Child<br />

Plealth Association, "The health of the child<br />

is the strength of the nation," for during his<br />

stay here in March, he visited the Children's<br />

Hospital and was very deeply appreciative of<br />

the work being done here. He was especially<br />

interested in the Orthopedic Ward, and after<br />

his return to Washington sent a copy of his<br />

children's book, "The Bears and Their<br />

Friends," to every child in the ward.<br />

Plans for Flower Day are rapidly maturing,<br />

and are being pushed with an enthusiasm ap­<br />

parently never excelled by the women of<br />

Pittsburgh and surrounding towns, for the<br />

hospital's doors stand open to all Pittsburgh's<br />

needy little neighbors. The courageous hospital<br />

was never more in need of help than<br />

now. One hundred and eighty-seven patients<br />

occupied its beds one day in the first week of<br />

May, and of these little people only eleven<br />

were full-pay patients. The institution surely<br />

is still entitled to the name it has borne so<br />

long and proudly, "The Children's Free Hospital."<br />

In the year ending with April, 14,533<br />

little visitors have come seeking aid and<br />

freely receiving it in its various dispensaries.<br />

Aside from the thousands of children cared<br />

for in its wards and dispensaries, the hospital<br />

has rendered an incalculable service to Pennsylvania<br />

and many other States in its Training<br />

School to whose astonishing growth and<br />

efficiency the hospital points with pride. Here<br />

young women are being trained to render the<br />

greatest aid known to modern medicine, in<br />

both surgical and medical nursing of children.<br />

Again it has proved perfectly safe in its<br />

isolation of contagious diseases, and so preventing<br />

the spread of them in the City. The<br />

City acknowledged its indebtedness to the<br />

hospital last Summer for its care of infantile<br />

paralysis cases; but few know of the hundreds<br />

of other cases it has isolated and cared<br />

for, or of the fine work being done in its laboratories<br />

for the aid of suffering childhood.<br />

The hospital has some State aid, and a<br />

small endowment, but if its work is to be continued<br />

on this surprisingly large scale, the<br />

lovers of childhood must come to its assistance<br />

this year as never before, so that it may<br />

keep its wards, training schools and laboratories<br />

open. Its need is very great, overburdened<br />

as it is financially, and Summer is<br />

at hand with its great increase in baby cases<br />

that make an irresistible appeal to the lovers<br />

of childhood.<br />

At the annual meeting of the Tuesday<br />

Musical Club in the Hotel Schenley May<br />

eighth the following directors were elected,<br />

to serve two years: Mrs. F. W. Edmundson,<br />

Mrs. Charles H. Henninger, Mrs. W. A. Renshaw<br />

10 THE INDEX, Saturday, May 12, 1928<br />

Tlie S e a r c h F o r<br />

Something Different<br />

From season to season this search goes on, Its importance<br />

alwavjs increasing. Possibilities keep pace with our needs.<br />

bu Blanche Sears Emerson<br />

T H E R E has never been a<br />

season of such bewildering<br />

variety, not only in<br />

types, but in examples of those<br />

types. This variety is, in a way,<br />

imperative, for each season sees<br />

the characteristic of individuality<br />

more generally stressed, and<br />

fashion must keep pace with it.<br />

In order to do this, she lays<br />

down certain basic principles,<br />

then varies them all to an extent<br />

that gives the woman of fashion<br />

a true carte blanche when it<br />

comes to a final selection. One<br />

must differentiate between<br />

sports and tailored and formal<br />

daytime attire; she must be sure<br />

that the workmanship and material<br />

of her choice are perfection;<br />

and she must look to her accessories.<br />

She must observe the<br />

rather sharply drawn line that<br />

divides the formal from the informal—and<br />

then?<br />

She must recognize the importance<br />

of the ensemble theme,<br />

which possesses a philosophy of<br />

its own. As we first knew it, the<br />

ensemble was a suit of some<br />

sort, with harmony existing between<br />

its parts. Then we were<br />

introduced to accessory ensembles,<br />

and the importance of harmony<br />

between the major and the<br />

minor ensembles was stressed.<br />

Now we recognize the ensemble<br />

as a basic theme of all our costumes,<br />

even though suits are<br />

still sold under that title. It is<br />

this theme that is responsible<br />

for the very marked improvement<br />

in our apparel, assuring<br />

far better general results than<br />

there have ever been, in general<br />

attire. There are reasons for its<br />

continuance, as there are for every<br />

motive or principle that becomes<br />

a classic by reason of constant<br />

usage.<br />

The woman who builds herself<br />

a costume that is harmonious in<br />

all its parts is far better dressed<br />

than the woman whose apparel<br />

is made up of parts that are unrelated,<br />

even though they may<br />

not be utterly inharmonious. Another<br />

reason, and a not unimportant<br />

one, by any means, is<br />

the possibilities of economy that<br />

are offered by the ensemble. (In<br />

this day of fascinating fashions,<br />

wdiat woman has so many that<br />

she would not have more?) But<br />

there are exceptions to the rule<br />

of economy, for unless details<br />

are so carefully thought out that<br />

the parts of one ensemble can be<br />

used with another costume, one<br />

may find herself swamped in a<br />

sea of accessories. It is a fundamental<br />

rule that the latter "belong"<br />

in type, co]or and material<br />

to the costume they complement.<br />

If you are possessed of the<br />

feeling that the new theme of<br />

formality is, in a way, a hindrance<br />

to your comfort, then<br />

your interpretation of this<br />

theme is incorrect. Formality<br />

includes the softer, more feminine<br />

things that make afternoon<br />

and evening clothes delightful,<br />

and take from the sports and the<br />

tailored suits anything of harshness<br />

or severity that they may,<br />

in the past, have possessed. The<br />

formality of Spring and Summer<br />

differs from that of the Winter<br />

months, and it is a matter of<br />

fabric and color principally, although<br />

there are, of course,<br />

changes in lines. Laces, chiffons<br />

and the always-practical Ge<strong>org</strong>ette<br />

are featured in many models;<br />

the pastels and flower tones<br />

make their appearance; there is<br />

black, white, and the usual combinations<br />

of the two.<br />

With lines sharply drawn between<br />

types, more sharply defined<br />

than they have ever been,<br />

sports togs are relegated to their<br />

own special field. They no longer<br />

dominate all fashion, though<br />

they possess characteristics that<br />

other types do, and vice versa.<br />

The restriction of activities has<br />

served to focus attention on this<br />

outfit, rather than detract from<br />

it; so some of our most intriguing<br />

ensembles belong in this<br />

group. The three-piece suit is<br />

the background of the sports<br />

mode, which relies for much of<br />

its charm on fabrics. We are<br />

always well served with our fabrics,<br />

and with every new season<br />

that service increases. To the<br />

cottons, silks and wools we have<br />

seen rayon added—science discovered<br />

a new material in so<br />

plebian a thing as wood pulp!<br />

And there is something else!<br />

To woven textiles they have<br />

added knitted textiles, and if we<br />

recall the first pully, stretchy attempts<br />

that were offered for our<br />

use, we realize how great the accomplishment<br />

has been. Now<br />

knitwear is an important department<br />

in the large shops, and it<br />

includes entire suits, as well as<br />

separate sweaters and skirts.<br />

Probably the sweater has the<br />

largest representation of any<br />

single garment outside the expected<br />

coats, suits and dresses,<br />

in the wardrobe, for the "sweater<br />

costume" is a vogue of the<br />

moment. Into it goes the expert<br />

knowledge of the designer, as<br />

well as the skill of the artistknitter,<br />

who handles yarns and<br />

colors so cleverly.<br />

All sorts of stitches and patterns,<br />

chief of the skirt fabric. The<br />

hand-knitted sweater is worn<br />

with the tweed suit—at times it<br />

is the one thing that classifies<br />

the suit as belonging to the<br />

sportswear group; when the<br />

blouse is of silk, satin or crepe,<br />

the ensemble becomes a "town"<br />

model. Designs for these sweaters<br />

are charming; sometimes<br />

they are conventionalized; again<br />

modernistic; at other times<br />

floral or polka-dotted—the latter<br />

ultra smart.<br />

A word must be said about the<br />

place that the cape is assuming<br />

in the mode. Every time it is<br />

prophecied in the advance models<br />

of a season, we wonder why<br />

we have ever permitted it to<br />

disappear from the fashion horizon.<br />

It is such a jaunty, saucy,<br />

swagger affair; and it is capable<br />

of so many variations. Right<br />

now it is very much of the mode,<br />

both as a separate garment and<br />

as a detail of both the coat and<br />

the frock. It is, in a way, a<br />

logical part of the new trend<br />

that fashion is taking. Designers<br />

are so obsessed with the idea<br />

of fluttering things and loose<br />

ends—scarfs, bows, and narrow<br />

drapes that assume the aspect of<br />

panels—that the cape was inevitable.<br />

And since variety was,<br />

in a way responsible for its revival,<br />

we may expect variety in<br />

the detail itself.<br />

Designers are using it wholesale,<br />

but with a variety that is<br />

so extended that there is not the<br />

faintest hint of monotony. It is<br />

a part of the sports coat; and it<br />

takes the place of it, assuming<br />

the importance of a wrap. Some<br />

coats have two capes, one on<br />

each side; and they are applied<br />

irregularly, with more than a<br />

hint of assymetry. Then there<br />

are wraps that look like a coat<br />

in front and a cape in back—<br />

two-faced affairs, we would say<br />

of them. Such a garment is the<br />

step that leads from the cape to<br />

the coat; it is, as a rule, a most<br />

becoming affair, dear to the<br />

heart of the woman who possesses<br />

it. The circular cape, swinging<br />

freely from the shoulders, is<br />

among those present—you will<br />

remember it as a part of the<br />

general mode two seasons ago.<br />

We are always interested, of<br />

course, in the latest word concerning<br />

the silhouette. It is still<br />

characterized as straight, but it<br />

is qualified as "full," which is<br />

somewhat misleading. Into the<br />

"straightness" is incorporated a evening silhouette, where the<br />

wide variety of flounces, tiers, decolletage drops and the hem­<br />

drapes and circular cuts, so far line, too. The irregular hemline<br />

as the skirt is concerned; and persists, also the rumor of long­<br />

boleros, blouses, Eton jackets, er skirts; and we notice that the<br />

scarfs and capes, so far as the straight hemline is an inch and<br />

bodice is concerned. The result a half, or two inches lower than<br />

is the "ample" line—for into the last year.<br />

frock goes many yards of fabric.<br />

There is a downward tendency<br />

in back—noted especially in the<br />

Incidentally, there is something<br />

really new! They are<br />

BRENNAN and Rogers,<br />

featured comedians of<br />

musical comedy fame, will<br />

head the Keith-Albee vaudeville<br />

program at the Davis Theatre<br />

next week. Stanley Rogers and<br />

Jay Brennan are female impersonators<br />

who give humorous<br />

characterizations, with no<br />

thought of fooling the public.<br />

They are just "two girls who<br />

like to dish the news." Their<br />

attire is caricature and their conversation<br />

humorous exaggeration.<br />

Steve Freda and Johnny Palace<br />

will entertain with guitar<br />

and harmonica selections while<br />

they converse in scrambled English.<br />

Freda is the comedian and<br />

Palace furnishes him with the<br />

fun shots. A novel and spectacular<br />

musical exhibition will<br />

be Jerry and Her Baby Grands.<br />

Geraldine Valliere directs five<br />

accomplished pianists performing<br />

simultaneously on five baby<br />

grand pianos. Mollie Klinger will<br />

contribute contralto solos. Another<br />

feature will be "Cuckoo,"<br />

a diversified act presented by<br />

Irene Vermillion and ten singers<br />

and dancers. The program will<br />

also include Serge Flash, the<br />

only Occidental expert in Japanese<br />

juggling.<br />

The 'Screen feature, "Why<br />

Sailors Go Wrong," is a comedy<br />

featuring Sammy Cohen, Nick<br />

Stuart, Sally Phills and Ted Mc-<br />

Namara. News features will<br />

close the program.<br />

NIXON<br />

"Wings," the tremendous epic<br />

of the air, closes this coming<br />

week at the Nixon Theatre. The<br />

last two performances are on<br />

Saturday, May 19. This superpicture<br />

with its marvelous effects<br />

and enlarged screen is only<br />

ceasing its run on account of a<br />

previous contract with the<br />

Nixon Stock Company, which<br />

must positively open May 21.<br />

The management of "Wings"<br />

would like to try to express<br />

through these columns, their appreciation<br />

for the co-operation<br />

given to them by the press of<br />

Pittsburgh, the literary clubs,<br />

schools, and the aero <strong>org</strong>anizations.<br />

Without these vital factors,<br />

"Wings," even as near perfect<br />

as it is, could not have been<br />

such a success. If the Nixon<br />

management could induce the<br />

press of Pittsburgh to publish<br />

one-half the letters of congratulation<br />

and commendation about<br />

"Wings" which they have received<br />

from men and women in<br />

all walks of life, they would have<br />

to add several pages to their<br />

regular edition.<br />

CLARA BOW<br />

In "Wings," which begins its sixth and<br />

last week at the Nixon Theatre May 14.<br />

"Wings" is the story of the<br />

war in the air, made with the<br />

assistance and co-operation of<br />

the United States government<br />

because of its interest in aeronautics.<br />

Most of it was taken<br />

on an improvised battle area of<br />

five square miles near San Antonio,<br />

Texas, where the government<br />

assembled and loaned to<br />

the Paramount Company, equipment<br />

valued at some $14,000,000<br />

and from all the flying fields in<br />

the country came seasoned aviators<br />

to instruct and actually appear<br />

in many of the scenes.<br />

The youthful cast includes<br />

Clara Bow, Charles Rogers,<br />

Richard Arlen, Jobyna Ralston,<br />

Gary Cooper, Arlette Marchal.<br />

It was directed by William A.<br />

Wellman, a young man from<br />

Massachusetts, who during the<br />

war served his country and<br />

served it well as a member of the<br />

Lafayette Escadrille.<br />

STANLEY<br />

Another big week of stage<br />

features and motion picture offerings<br />

will begin at noon Monday<br />

at the Stanley Theatre. On<br />

the stage there will be a "Jazz<br />

Carnival" composed of fifty or<br />

more musical comedy favorites,<br />

headed by Frances White, presenting<br />

a fast-moving mirth and<br />

melody revue. Among the featured<br />

players will be Al and Ray<br />

Samuels, Charles Rozella, Markel<br />

and Faun, Collette Sisters, Maryon<br />

Vadie Dancers, and presiding<br />

over it all will be Phil Spitalny.<br />

A special orchestral feature<br />

will be "Master Melodies," compiled<br />

by Phil Spitalny from the<br />

Italian Operas, and interpreted<br />

thelmess in "Little Shepherd of<br />

Kingdom Come." News Reels<br />

and Topics of the Day will complete<br />

the program.<br />

THE INDEX, Saturday, May 19, 1928<br />

F R O M T H E E D I T O R ' S W I N D O W<br />

This appears to be the season of criticism and<br />

investigation and the electric light and power companies<br />

have come in for their share of condemnation.<br />

They long have been immune and during that time<br />

they have made tremendous strides, at-<br />

Power tracting ample capital for extensions and<br />

improvements which have enabled them to<br />

reduce costs of operation and give the advantage to<br />

the consumers in more dependable power at much<br />

less expense. They have virtually eliminated in large<br />

centers the wasteful and filthy individual plant and<br />

have encouraged industry by widely extended distributing<br />

systems. As a result electric power has<br />

displaced the old form of factory and mill drive and<br />

in Western Pennsylvania has made the various communities<br />

cleaner than they ever have been. Pittsburgh<br />

has no complaint against its principal power<br />

company. It has reduced rates, built great generating<br />

plants and has placed at the disposal of the<br />

manufacturer and domestic consumer an abundance<br />

of dependable power at all times at a very low rate.<br />

It has co-operated with the many cities and boroughs<br />

and has been of distinct advantage to the Pittsburgh<br />

District. It seems absurd that the purchase of an<br />

obsolete municipal plant at Coraopolis should be<br />

made the basis for a Federal investigation. The<br />

Duquesne Light Company probably will welcome it<br />

although what the United States government or its<br />

various prying agencies has to do with corporate or<br />

municipal ownership of an electric lighting plant in<br />

Coraopolis is beyond us. The amount of current<br />

consumed in homes, stores and streets there is<br />

trivial but the present and prospective power consumption<br />

is a factor with which municipal ownership<br />

undoubtedly interfered. There has been quite<br />

a clamor because the electric power companies<br />

sought to disseminate favorable information regarding<br />

their great industry and endeavored to change<br />

misinformation in school books to an intelligent conception<br />

of something which now enters into the lives<br />

of every one of us. They have carried it to Washington<br />

as a choice morsel for campaign hysteria.<br />

What is wrong about it? Any industry which deals<br />

directly with the public is so lied about and misrepresented<br />

that those in control of such large investments<br />

as power companies, steam railroads,<br />

street railroads, telephones would be fools if they<br />

did not constructively and energetically offset the<br />

vicious propaganda by legitimate information. School<br />

books are notoriously sources of ignorance and to replace<br />

misinformation with facts is the sensible and<br />

logical thing to do. The only question about the<br />

whole affair was the mysterious way some of the<br />

power company officials went about it.<br />

* ¥ * *<br />

One of the most important conventions held in<br />

Pittsburgh in many months was the three day meeting<br />

this week of the students and officers of the Industrial<br />

War College of Washington. Visits were<br />

made to the principal steel mills, by-pro-<br />

War duct plants and other industries of the<br />

Pittsburgh District which will have a vital<br />

part in any future war. It is a great compliment<br />

to this extensive manufacturing center and it emphasizes<br />

the importance the officers of the United<br />

States Army attach to this section. It is all a part<br />

of the splendid plan of industrial preparedness out-<br />

ANDREW W. MELLON<br />

Secretary of the Treasury, startled the country by a<br />

suggestion that Hoover combined all of the special<br />

requirements of a President. The commotion arose<br />

because of the immense popularity, power and prestige<br />

of the Pittsburgh financier, who heads the Pennsylvania<br />

delegation to Kansas City.<br />

lined by the army strategists. Foreign countries<br />

probably are fully aware of what is going on but<br />

when they learn that we are no longer advocates of<br />

that stupid policy that "we can raise an army of a<br />

million men over night" they will be less apt to<br />

entice us into hostilities. When Germany began the<br />

last war her by-product and chemical plants had<br />

been developed to a high efficiency and gave her an<br />

impetus and an advantage which her enemies were<br />

not able to equal for several years. Coal was the<br />

basis of her strength and her first onrush was to<br />

seize rich bituminous fields of France and Belgium.<br />

Pittsburgh has made tremendous strides in building<br />

immense by-product plants since the war and it is<br />

in a fair way to become the center of the chemical<br />

industry of the United States, if not the world. Pittsburgh<br />

has the richest coal fields on this continent and<br />

its elimination of waste of this precious resource by<br />

the use of by-product ovens is making it the district<br />

upon which the United States will depend in the<br />

event of war. The United States Army is taking a<br />

deep interest in what is being done here and what<br />

can be done when the necessity arises and Pittsburgh<br />

more and more will be looked upon as the<br />

keystone of war manufacturing. As this far sighted<br />

policy of the government gets into full swing the<br />

peace propagandists who would sacrifice pride and<br />

loyalty to keep the boys of the country out of possible<br />

trenches are increasing their efforts at Washington<br />

to check a so-called militaristic tendency by asking<br />

that appropriations to keep the army and navy<br />

fit be curtailed. As Pittsburgh assumes greater<br />

supremacy in the refinement of coal and the perfection<br />

of steel and of better methods for making it<br />

it will take greater rank as the war supply depot of<br />

the country. Coal never before assumed the importance<br />

it now has as a vital war dependence and Pittsburgh<br />

is fortunate in possessing such enormous unmined<br />

fields.<br />

* # # *<br />

It is fortunate for Pittsburgh that the railroads<br />

serving this District came to a realization of the<br />

unfairness of rates on coal to Lake Erie ports compared<br />

with those of Southern competitive fields and<br />

made a readjustment which will permit the<br />

Rates operators of Western Pennsylvania to regain<br />

some of the markets they once<br />

possessed. Apparently the railroads have been willing<br />

to lose their lake trade in coal rather' than disturb<br />

the more lucrative business to the East but<br />

Pittsburgh as a result has suffered in a way which<br />

few elsewhere could appreciate. There may now be<br />

a period of prosperity which will take the coal industry<br />

out of the extremely hazardous position it has<br />

been in for years. That is a good thing and will be<br />

welcomed. In the meantime mining operations have<br />

been placed on the most efficient possible scale and<br />

operators will now be in a much better position to<br />

compete and make money. Resort has been had to<br />

river transportation which has developed the long<br />

languishing water traffic and opened the eyes of all<br />

to the great possibilities on the government improved<br />

rivers. Great strides have also been made in<br />

the use of by-product methods with the result that a<br />

magnificent chemical industry is well on its way.<br />

At the same time, although it hurt while it lasted,<br />

the splendid deposits of rich coal were left underground<br />

because of the stagnation and these will be<br />

a priceless possession when the waste in making<br />

coke is fully eliminated. It was hard to stand but<br />

the unfair position in which Pittsburgh was held<br />

was a blessing in disguise as it will be one great<br />

factor in reviving the industrial supremacy of this<br />

district.

CARDS have been sent out by Mrs.<br />

Kirkland Wiley Todd, of Wightman<br />

they will give in the University Club, from<br />

three until six oclock, the afternoon of Tuesday,<br />

May twenty-second. The guests have<br />

been asked to meet Miss Darrell Ewing Morrow,<br />

Boxes and parking spaces at the Allegheny<br />

Country Club Horse Show, June seventh,<br />

eighth and ninth are being speedily preempted.<br />

Practically all of the boxes have been<br />

sold and much of the space about the ring is<br />

taken, both box and parking space having<br />

been secured by some families, with entries,<br />

because it permits the individual to be a<br />

member of a box party during the entire<br />

show, with the additional privileges of getting<br />

nearer the ring when the family entry<br />

appears. The location close to the ring appeals<br />

particularly to the youthful element<br />

who find it fun to scramble about in and out<br />

of automobiles, and perch precariously on top<br />

to get the best of all possible views.<br />

we also find the turban, the<br />

The very large woman should<br />

not attempt the very tight hat.<br />

It belongs to the slender woman<br />

with a small face, or, at least, a<br />

profile that does not suggest the<br />

massive. In the latter instance,<br />

if the neck is long, there should<br />

be a deep collar arrangement to<br />

serve as a background. The<br />

woman with the slender neck<br />

can wear the hat that has a wide<br />

brim in back, for it provides the<br />

correct frame for her head.<br />

When the face is round the hat<br />

should detract from this roundness,<br />

and the brim will aid. We<br />

have the eyebrow line and the<br />

brim that turns down, as well as<br />

the brim that turns up. There<br />

hat—a negligible quantity.<br />

Your hat is waiting!<br />

Just as the small woman<br />

should avoid a large hat with<br />

large trimming effects, so must<br />

the large woman keep away<br />

from tiny things—proportion is<br />

always necessary. We will have<br />

the usual number of sartorial<br />

tragedies, this Summer, for the<br />

large hat will be featured, and<br />

designers are attempting to<br />

popularize what we will call a<br />

medium-brimmed hat. As warm<br />

weather approaches the need of<br />

a brim is felt, for a brimless hat<br />

will prove most uncomfortable<br />

when the sun is hot. As the<br />

brim widens, the crown grows<br />

higher. The widened brim possesses<br />

the spirit of formality,<br />

and just as chiffon and lace are<br />

the fabrics of formality, so the<br />

picturesque wide-brimmed hat is<br />

the headwear appropriate to it.<br />

No hat is lovelier when it is worn<br />

well.<br />

For many seasons we were<br />

slaves to the cloche. Then designers<br />

felt the urge of something<br />

new and the cloche no<br />

longer ruled, although it did not<br />

disappear wholly from the millinery<br />

mode. Taking a general<br />

view of the present mode, we are<br />

impressed by the fact that the<br />

cloche is again prominent in<br />

every display. It may vary a<br />

little; bigger here or narrower<br />

there; with a wider or a narrower<br />

brim; but it is the same old<br />

cloche and just as adaptable as<br />

ever. Nothing ever was, or ever<br />

will be, as popular for the general<br />

run of women as the cloche,<br />

and now that we have it again,<br />

featured in every material of the<br />

mode, we shall be wary about<br />

letting it go—even for a brief<br />

space. When everything else<br />

fails, we can fall back on a cloche<br />

shape.<br />

Straws in Winter, because the<br />

resort fashions feature them,<br />

and we try to vision Spring from<br />

under a straw brim. This led,<br />

inevitably, to velvets in Summer<br />

—inappropriate and uncomfortable<br />

though they were. With the<br />

new variety, a reaction seems to<br />

have set in, and straws are featured<br />

for Summer, as they<br />

should be. We are offered Ben­<br />

musical program, the guests had<br />

the opportunity of seeing an exhibition<br />

of the project work of<br />

the school representing tlie work<br />

of the past year in all classes.<br />

Many of the patrons were so interested<br />

in this display that arrangements<br />

were made to have<br />

the exhibition open for the<br />

"fathers" on Wednesday evening.<br />

Yesterday the annual exhibition<br />

of the work of the gymnasium<br />

classes, under the direction<br />

of Miss Helen Lowden, director,<br />

was given before an enthusiastic<br />

audience. In addition<br />

to the regular drill work and<br />

marching there were a number<br />

of Old English country dances<br />

and singing games. In addition<br />

to the gymnasium work the<br />

choral class, under the direction<br />

of Harvey B. Gaul, sang English<br />

folk songs, and the Primary<br />

pupils sang three numbers, directed<br />

by Miss Margaret Schreuder,<br />

of the faculty.<br />

Honor Day exercises will be<br />

held at the school on the morning<br />

of June 5 and the commencement<br />

service will be held in Calvary<br />

Episcopal Church on tlie<br />

afternoon of June 6 at 4 o'clock.<br />

Miss Sara F. Ellis, head of the<br />

Ellis School, will entertain the<br />

graduating class at a luncheon in<br />

the Twentieth Century Club this<br />

afternoon. The honor guest will<br />

be Miss Marie E. Craighead, the<br />

class teacher. Members of the<br />

class are Alice Bair, Ida French<br />

Carroll, Jeanne Crusan, Eleanore<br />

evening. Clinton E. Lloyd, Litt.<br />

D., Dean of the School of Speech,<br />

Arts and Drama, will direct the<br />

pageant. It is a masque in four<br />

acts entitled, "The Spirit Giveth<br />

Life," and was specially written<br />

by the Rev. John F. Malloy and<br />

Paul G. Sullivan. More than 500<br />

students will be required in the<br />

cast; together with those on<br />

committees they bring the total<br />

working up to one-third of the<br />

Institution's enrollment.<br />

Whose Hat Are<br />

Yoli Wearing?<br />

eral rules that govern our dress.<br />

A hat for every need; for every<br />

season ; for every type; it is eminently<br />

satisfactory.<br />

Designers seem to like effecting<br />

combinations of materials,<br />

for they are using the silks—<br />

taffeta, moire and grosgrain—<br />

with straw; they are using<br />

straw with felt; and felt with<br />

silk. They consider colors at the<br />

same time, using two or more<br />

shades of one color, or two or<br />

more colors. A clever hat in two<br />

shades of gray, black, and white,<br />

is carried out in a rough straw<br />

and wears a banding of flame<br />

grosgrain ribbon. A cloche of<br />

bright blue straw, very fine, is<br />

trimmed with felt leaves in a<br />

deeper tone; the brim of the hat<br />

of the felt. Velvet is used as a<br />

trimming for straw hats, and is<br />

often combined with straw to<br />

make the shape itself. We shall<br />

see more of this material as the<br />

Summer season brings the picture<br />

hat into prominence.<br />

Trimmings are distinguished<br />

by their absence. We hear much<br />

about fabric manipulation in the<br />

general mode, therefore we are<br />

not surprised to find it in millinery.<br />

toque, tarn and beret—depends<br />

upon it almost wholly,<br />

THE INDEX, Saturday, May 26, 1928<br />

F R O M T H E E D I T O R ' S W I N D O W<br />

There is a group of Pittsburgh business men who<br />

lunch each noon in the same restaurant who might<br />

well be an example for others. As each diner seats<br />

himself at the table he is greeted by his companions<br />

with this query, "How do you feel<br />

Optimism today?" or "How is business?" If the<br />

answer is "I don't feel well" or "Business<br />

is poor" or some similar expression the pessimistic<br />

one is promptly fined a stated amount which<br />

goes to some selected charity. If the answer is<br />

"Wonderful" the diner takes his seat among the<br />

optimists, for that is the only answer which will<br />

prevent a. fine. Perhaps the idea is carried too far<br />

but the members of the dining group feel better and<br />

they find that they are encouraged to f<strong>org</strong>et their<br />

troubles and think along more optimistic lines. You<br />

find in your regular daily business relations men<br />

who never utter a cheerful word. They can see no<br />

silver lining in any cloud. They spread gloom because<br />

their pessimism is contagious. It is not long<br />

until their associates are as gloomy as they are. At<br />

the same time you will find many who have a cheery<br />

answer for every question. They may have troubles<br />

but they conceal them and try to work out a solution<br />

without burdening others with their grief. If this<br />

optimism would spread throughout Pittsburgh the<br />

community would be much better. Pittsburgh is a<br />

wonderful place in which to live. We can make it<br />

better by cooperating to bring the nearest approach<br />

to perfection. We must have some high standard<br />

at which to aim. We must not allow ourselves to<br />

get into that frame of mind of the pernicious reformers<br />

who are always erecting straw men to have<br />

something to tear down, who think crime and vice<br />

are more rampant in Pittsburgh than in any other<br />

populated center and who believe that all others are<br />

wrong who do not believe as they do. We should<br />

make it a point to sing the praises of Pittsburgh as<br />

they do in the West. Our optimism should be such<br />

that we will attract the attention of others to our<br />

good qualities. Pittsburgh has been badly maligned<br />

in Washington and elsewhere for some time. If any<br />

evil about us could be said it was shouted. It has<br />

seemed to some of us that every person wanted to<br />

take a kick at us. We should not overlook the fact<br />

that if we had not been so mighty, our resources<br />

so great, our ability to earn so well established, our<br />

prosperity so universal, our advantages so outstanding,<br />

they would not have paid any attention to us.<br />

It is because we have so many fine qualities which<br />

other communities do not possess that jealousy and<br />

political viciousness have induced charges and complaints<br />

which to us are unfair and untrue but which<br />

for the time cloud the minds and opinions of those<br />

who do not know. We are just coming into another<br />

era of greatness, progress, development, expansion<br />

and prosperity and we should make up our minds<br />

that if we are optimists as we work we will find it<br />

easier to achieve and triumph and win the admiration<br />

of others whom we seek as associates.<br />

Pittsburgh has won another victory but it is<br />

doubtful if many realize it. The Interstate Commerce<br />

Commission, which we have repeatedly con-<br />

present for the second<br />

week's engagement of<br />

the Summer stock at the Nixon<br />

Theatre, commencing Monday<br />

night, May 28, with matinees<br />

Wednesday and Saturday,<br />

Ge<strong>org</strong>e M. Cohan's latest New<br />

York success, "The Baby Cyclone."<br />

This American comedy,<br />

a storm of laughter, just closed<br />

a run of the entire season at<br />

Henry Miller's Theatre, New<br />

York, with Grant Mitchell as its<br />

star. The New York press says,<br />

"The best thing that Ge<strong>org</strong>e M.<br />

Cohan has ever written," and<br />

that is saying a great deal. "Sure<br />

fire laughing farce." "It's a<br />

great world, you bet your life it<br />

is, with a Cohan farce in town."<br />

Harry Bannister will play<br />

Joseph Meadows, played in New<br />

York by Grant Mitchell. Otherparts<br />

are taken by Katherine<br />

Wilson, Josephine Whittell, Fred<br />

Sullivan, Kathryn Card and<br />

other members of The Nixon<br />

Players.<br />

The action of "The Baby Cyclone"<br />

revolves about four people<br />

and a Pekinese pup. The complications<br />

that arise over the<br />

sale of this little pet and the stupidly<br />

chivalrous efforts of one of<br />

the men are too numerous to detail,<br />

but if you have ever loved<br />

known any of these things, you<br />

are due for one of the most continuously<br />

funny evenings in theatrical<br />

ages when you go to the<br />

Nixon next week.<br />

"The Baby Cyclone" is presented<br />

and directed by John<br />

Hayden, who has directed a<br />

great many New York successes.<br />

with proper care,<br />

will give years of<br />

service. But like<br />

everything else,<br />

they sometimes<br />

wear out, and may<br />

break when the<br />

housewife is in the<br />

midst of a heavy<br />

ironing which she<br />

cannot conven­<br />

iently postpone.<br />

This isn't such a<br />

calamity as it<br />

seems, however,<br />

for somewhere in<br />

every home is a<br />

Shop where<br />

broken cords may<br />

be immediately<br />

exchanged free of<br />

charge for new<br />

ones.<br />

This applies not<br />

only to iron cords<br />

but to cords for<br />

any electrical ap­<br />

pliance. In cases<br />

where either of<br />

the terminals is<br />

broken, a slight<br />

charge is made.<br />

For your con­<br />

venience, a repre­<br />

at your home to<br />

exchange your<br />

broken cord for a<br />

THE INDEX, Saturday, June 2, 1928<br />

F R O M T H E E D I T O R ' S W I N D O W<br />

No one is surprised that ministers of several denominational<br />

groups in Pittsburgh should have de­<br />

manded the resignations of the Superintendent of<br />

Police and a Magistrate presiding over Morals Court<br />

because they publicly stated that Pro-<br />

Stupid hibition in its present form is not only a<br />

failure but is provocative of crime. Any<br />

person who has had to do with some samples of<br />

Pittsburgh ministerial opinion knows the selfishness,<br />

inexperience and bigotry which dominate it. The<br />

mayor of Pittsburgh should be commended for ignoring<br />

the protest, which under no circumstances reflects<br />

the opinion and the conclusions of the membership<br />

of the denominations. It may not have been<br />

the wisest thing in the world for the two police<br />

officials to have expressed themselves so frankly regarding<br />

the breakdown of the prohibition law and<br />

the disastrous consequences growing out of it. At<br />

any rate it was their opinion and was a conclusion<br />

which crystallized from their constant contact with<br />

crime. The surprising thing was that the ministers<br />

could have been so stupid as to rush to write resolutions<br />

demanding resignations when the sensible step<br />

would have been to confer with the two experienced<br />

police officials to see what in their judgment could<br />

be done to make the law operative and check the<br />

steady growth of crime. It was another illustration<br />

of others being wrong who dare to differ. The<br />

opinion of the police officials should have been an<br />

inspiration to greater zeal. Condemnation and<br />

criticism, however, are much easier for the sedentary.<br />

The church may not be losing its grip upon<br />

itself but its so-called leaders appear to be doing so.<br />

When the ministers of a great and conservative denomination<br />

will contemplate castigating an outstanding<br />

President and an equally great Secretary of the<br />

Treasury because prohibition enforcement has<br />

broken down, there must be some corrosive influence<br />

at work which is accomplishing deterioration. It<br />

may be that the increased pay given has lured into<br />

the ministry men who have no place there. At any<br />

rate the church had better take an account of itself<br />

and see whether it is the power for good it once<br />

was. It cannot go stumbling along making mistakes,<br />

with impunity.<br />

It seems almost inconceivable that with the efforts<br />

for safety put forth by the coal operators and<br />

the United States government during the last 20<br />

years such a mining disaster could occur as that<br />

which has befallen a colliery in Greene<br />

Mining County. Mining experts have studied the<br />

problems of dust and gas so energetically<br />

and safety methods have been insisted upon so consistently<br />

that it is difficult to believe that such an<br />

accident could take place in a mine which in every<br />

ARTHUR E. BRAUN<br />

President of the Reliance Life Insurance Company,<br />

which has just celebrated its 25th birthday anniversary<br />

with a record for growth remarkable in the history of<br />

life insurance. The Reliance in its short life has become<br />

one of the largest and most powerful companies<br />

in the United States.<br />

respect is considered exceptionally modern. The<br />

problem, however, is there just as much as it always<br />

has been. It is hard to believe that all of the study<br />

and research has been in vain. It certainly should<br />

spur coal operators and experts of the Bureau of<br />

Mines to greater efforts to make the mines of this<br />

district, gaseous though they may be, just as safe<br />

for the workers as any other industrial employment.<br />

It has been stated that small cans of oxygen have<br />

been prepared by safety appliance companies for just<br />

such emergencies, with sufficient oxygen to sustain<br />

life 3.0 minutes or more under the most adverse circumstances,<br />

and that had the miners in the Greene<br />

County colliery been equipped with this simple and<br />

compact apparatus probably all would have been<br />

saved. Certainly all that should be done to make<br />

Western Pennsylvania mining safer has not been<br />

done. We have been preaching safety and have not<br />

been practicing it. In view of our knowledge of gas<br />

and mining conditions and the very complete apparatus<br />

to save life in the event of fire and explosions,<br />

the Mather disaster is a disgrace. The<br />

State of Pennsylvania and the United States Bureau<br />

of Mines should see to it that no such loss of life<br />

occurs again.<br />

We extract the following from the report of the<br />

general publicity committee in the annual report of<br />

the Chamber of Commerce with special reference to<br />

the proposed national publicity campaign for Pittsburgh,<br />

long contemplated and badly<br />

Progress needed to offset vicious and damning<br />

propaganda aimed at it: "More time<br />

has been devoted by the General Publicity Committee<br />

of the Chamber to its work during the fiscal year<br />

than the mere number of five formal meetings held<br />

indicates. The Committee, with the aid of a number<br />

of its sub-committees, has continued the careful<br />

study of general publicity methods and suggestions<br />

which was begun in the previous year. The experience<br />

of other communities was thoroughly surveyed<br />

and an earnest effort was at the same time<br />

made to ascertain the opinions of industrial leaders<br />

as to the possible value of a comprehensive, wellplanned<br />

campaign of advertising for Pittsburgh in<br />

the leading national mediums over a series of years.<br />

As a result, the Committee came to the conclusion<br />

that there was much promise in such a campaign<br />

and recommended appointment of a special committee<br />

to conduct an investigation of plan and scope<br />

and after a careful analysis of the whole situation<br />

report its findings and recommendations to the Board<br />

of Directors. The Board approved recommendation<br />

of the General Publicity Committee and authorized<br />

the President to appoint such a committee of nine<br />

business executives; and the General Publicity Committee<br />

expects to render every possible assistance<br />

to that special committee. An investigation of the<br />

entire subject is now being made."

8 THE INDEX, Saturday, June 2, 1928<br />

John Wheeler Lawrence has entered these jumpers.<br />

A CUMULATIVE social influence,<br />

the result of<br />

countless horse shows<br />

throughout the country—there<br />

are fifty-two scheduled in one<br />

magazine devoted to National<br />

social activities—has caused the<br />

Allegheny Country Club horse<br />

show., scheduled for June 7, 8<br />

and v, to be more of an event<br />

than ever, more keenly anticipated<br />

by a wide circle of people.<br />

Not even age is a barrier to appreciation<br />

of and joy in the<br />

horse. The very young, and the<br />

not-so-young may ride, of<br />

courjje, but for those who think<br />

they are beyond the riding age,<br />

there is still the chance to look<br />

on at demonstrations of the<br />

"poetry of motion." It is pretty<br />

generally conceded that few animals<br />

possess a good horse's natural<br />

grace.<br />

A long entry list, containing<br />

many notable animals, and an<br />

early sale of all available boxes<br />

and parking space indicates to<br />

wha; an extent the show has developed.<br />

And since it is a roundup<br />

of everyone of consequence<br />

in the district, it becomes the<br />

biggest event of a social nature<br />

of t le Summer. Parties on Sewickley<br />

Heights in honor of the<br />

out of town exhibitors and the<br />

jud|;es compete with each other<br />

in gayety. Among these is the<br />

ridi:ig and driving party in costume<br />

for which William C.<br />

Robinson has issued invitations.<br />

The guests will meet<br />

at the horse show ring the first<br />

day of the show, Thursday, June<br />

7, when there is to be an afternoon<br />

showing, only, beginning at<br />

1:30 o'clock, and ride across the<br />

lovely Sewickley hills to Woodmont,<br />

the Robinson country<br />

place, for dinner. Previous years<br />

have seen a resuscitation of<br />

vehicles of the far past,—the<br />

riders or drivers costumed to<br />

harmonize,—as well as more<br />

modern ones, and a generous<br />

proportion of comic and historical<br />

characters. Last year, for<br />

instance, Mrs. Alan Magee<br />

Scaife, then Miss Sarah Cordelia<br />

Mellon, was an impressive Joan<br />

of Arc and Miss Eleanor McCargo<br />

exhibited an amusing boat<br />

A l l e g l i e i r i ) C o u n t r y C l u b P r e<br />

Mr. Van Voorhis' Liberty Bond with Henry C. Bughman, Jr., up.<br />

creation, with a mule for propellor.<br />

Dr. Maitland Alexander was<br />

a rotund Mrs. Charlie Chaplin<br />

and an out of town visitor represented<br />

Charles himself.<br />

Friday night the out of town<br />

people, judges and others will be<br />

guests at a dinner given by Mr.<br />

and Mrs. Henry Clay Bughman,<br />

Jr., in the Allegheny Country<br />

Club. Mr. Bughman is chairman<br />

of the Executive Committee for<br />

the show and Mrs. Bughman is<br />

head of the Trophy Committee.<br />

Saturday night there will be a<br />

dinner dance in the clubhouse.<br />

Visitors will be entertained in<br />

many Sewickley Heights homes<br />

NANCY BYERS<br />

A promising young horsewoman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Frederic Byers,<br />

will ride in the show.<br />

over the show, Major and Mrs.<br />

David Barry, of Washington,<br />

will come next week to visit Mrs.<br />

B a r r y's grandmother, Mrs.<br />

James B. Oliver, of Shields. Mrs.<br />

Barry will be remembered as<br />

Miss Neville Johnson. Mr. and<br />

Mrs. J. Denniston Lyon, who<br />

spend most of their time in New<br />

York, nearly always occupy<br />

their Sewickley Heights home<br />

over the show. Mr. and Mrs.<br />

William Bacon Schiller returned<br />

during the past week from a<br />

tour of Europe and Africa, and<br />

will serve on committees for the<br />

show, and there are numerous<br />

out of town judges and exhibitors<br />

who will be put up in the<br />

clubhouse and in homes. In the<br />

list are Mr. and Mrs. Murray<br />

Fleming, of Toronto, who will be<br />

A. May, of Beacon Street; Mr.<br />

and Mrs. F. J. Navin, of Detroit;<br />

Mr. and Mrs. Richard<br />

V. Look, of Montreal, and<br />

Toronto.<br />

Local exhibitors represent the<br />

four hunt clubs in the district—<br />

Westmoreland, which always has<br />

the Coulter entries as well as<br />

others; Rolling Rock, from<br />

which there are usually many<br />

horses sent, particularly by<br />

Richard King Mellon, who is a<br />

member of the Allegheny show<br />

Executive Committee; Sewickley,<br />

which is entered, almost to<br />

a horse, and Pittsburgh, newest


F o r Its A n n u a l H o r s e<br />

of the hunts hereabouts, and<br />

possessor of many fine horses.<br />

The prizes are an attraction.<br />

Three valuable cups are to be<br />

given, the John C. Oliver Memorial<br />

cup, and others presented by<br />

H. N. Van Voorhis and William<br />

Penn Snyder, Jr. The Oliver cup<br />

will go to the Corinthian class<br />

winner, and when won three<br />

times remains in the permanent<br />

possession of the winner. Money<br />

William B. Schiller is chairman<br />

of music with Mrs. Percy E.<br />

Donner and Mrs. Thruston<br />

Wright, assisting.<br />

When interest in a sport<br />

reaches the point where people<br />

will cross the Atlantic to see an<br />

S I l O W<br />

exhibition it may be safely assumed<br />

that it has passed the<br />

apathetic stage. This has happened<br />

in the case of the horse.<br />

Not alone Pittsburgh, but many<br />

Eastern cities were represented<br />

at the steeplechase in Aintree,<br />

England, early in the Spring,<br />

and polo teams have traveled<br />

from even more distant points to<br />

demonstrate their ability, and<br />

with them of course travel some<br />

of their enthusiastic following.<br />

Fondness for horses has always<br />

been and will always be, no<br />

doubt, but the past five years<br />

have seen a phenomenal growth<br />

in the popularity of riding and<br />

hunting. Hunt clubs have<br />

sprung up almost overnight, and<br />

become large <strong>org</strong>anizations in a<br />

short while. Sewickley alone,<br />

has as many as sixty-five hunters<br />

in the field at a time, a number<br />

which was unthought of several<br />

years ago. Three other<br />

hunts in the district — Westmoreland,<br />

Rolling Rock and<br />

Pittsburgh—where six or seven<br />

years ago, there were only two,<br />

indicates something, also. And<br />

these <strong>org</strong>anized riders are only<br />

a small section of the general<br />

public which hires its mount at<br />

a public riding stable, and uses<br />

the park for a canter. Part of<br />

the tendency is probably due to<br />

crowded roads which make auto-<br />

have a prominent part.<br />

T H E S T A G E A N D S C R E E N<br />

COMMENCING Monday<br />

evening, June 4, with<br />

matinees Wednesday and<br />

Saturday, The Nixon Players<br />

will present "The Last Warning,"<br />

which has overwhelmed<br />

theatre-goers of New York with<br />

its novelty of plot, striking situations<br />

and love story. The idea<br />

involves a haunted theatre. The<br />

leading man has vanished. It is<br />

alleged that his ghost is sticking<br />

around to see that no one else<br />

fills his part. A manager defies<br />

the spook and proceeds to engage<br />

a cast. Rehearsals are attended<br />

with spooky surprises,<br />

fearsome vapors spread, pictures<br />

drop from the wall, flames leap<br />

from dust - covered furniture,<br />

sandbags flop from the flies to<br />

tables, and other things happen<br />

in such quick succession that<br />

everyone is wondering what will<br />

let go next.<br />

"The Last Warning" is staged<br />

from "The House of Fear," a<br />

story written about ten years<br />

ago by Wadsworth Camp, a<br />

Princeton graduate. Several<br />

years ago Thomas F. Fallon<br />

KATHRYN CARD<br />

Of The Nixon Players.<br />

chanced on the story in an outof-the-way<br />

Summer hotel in<br />

Maine and became so absorbed<br />

that he decided to dramatize it.<br />

It was purchased by two young<br />

producers, Mindlin and Goldreyer,<br />

who changed the name to<br />

"The Last Warning."<br />

An excellent cast is provided<br />

by The Nixon Players, including<br />

Harry Bannister, Katherine Wilson,<br />

Josephine Whittell, Louise<br />

Quinn, Kathryn Card, Fred Sullivan,<br />

Ge<strong>org</strong>e Macready, Howard<br />

A R E the little tots of today. Surrounded by<br />

- every comfort that will tend to promote<br />

health and strength in their little bodies—noth­<br />

ing is too good for them.<br />

Perhaps one of the most important adjuncts to<br />

their future health is the daily bath. Delicate<br />

skin requires careful cleansing,<br />

and, clean hot water is necessary.<br />

It is convenient and reassuring<br />

to know that an unlimited quantity<br />

of clean hot water is always<br />

available with just a turn of the<br />

nearest hot water faucet.<br />

Telephone, write to or call at<br />

any of our offices and a representative<br />

will be glad to discuss<br />

your hot water needs.<br />

A EVENING SEA<br />

A MODERNISTIC design in sterling silver which<br />

takes its inspiration from the gentle rhythmic<br />

ripples of the sea at evening when the sun has<br />

set and the wind has died down.<br />

We take pleasure in presenting this silver because<br />

it offers excellent evidence that a design<br />

can be modernistic and still retain beauty, grace<br />

and good taste.<br />

groups, along with the many<br />

and varied prints, assure us a<br />

happy selection. And models are<br />

quite as varied as fabrics, making<br />

the situation even more attractive.<br />

There will be many<br />

straight little frocks, sleeveless,<br />

if you like them so, and they will<br />

feature manipulations of the<br />

fabric in handbags, pleatings<br />

and the usual details. Color contrasts<br />

will be effected.<br />

When a mode has been established<br />

for a season, so far as a<br />

mode is ever established, it is a<br />

bit difficult to do more than repeat<br />

its fundamentals. But we<br />

are familiar with the various ins<br />

and outs of this present mode,<br />

so we must needs peer into the<br />

future, visioning what the newer<br />

mode may be by details of<br />

the one we are now enjoying.<br />

For enjoying it we truly are, in<br />

its finer elements of harmony,<br />

grace and formal femininity. We<br />

devoutly hope for a continuance<br />

of these characteristics and<br />

varied interpretations of many<br />

themes. The first concern is always<br />

the skirt, its length and its<br />

width. To say longer and wider<br />

is to generalize, but generalizations<br />

are safest at the moment.<br />

But there is a reasonable explanation<br />

of this very apparent<br />

trend toward width and length.<br />

The very short skirt has had<br />

its day for the simple reason<br />

that fashion is never at a standstill.<br />

Since it could not well be<br />

shorter, it must be longer, and<br />

for some months, now, we have<br />

been noticing indications in this<br />

respect. First, the uneven hemline,<br />

always a precursor of a<br />

general dropping of the hem.<br />

And following in due order, the<br />

longer skirted evening frock,<br />

definitely longer even when the<br />

hem does not dip in back, as so<br />

many do. And to further stress<br />

this point, we have the demiseason<br />

models and the many<br />

showings of the Paris couturieres,<br />

who do not hesitate to say<br />

—"All skirts longer." This is,<br />

in the main, good news, for it<br />

does not mean, we are sure, the<br />

very long skirt; rather it means<br />

a more becoming length for the<br />

average figure.<br />

A very great many of the<br />

newest models feature a skirt<br />

that is circular, no two ways<br />

about it. It may be straight as<br />

to its herr, that edge bound with<br />

a contrasting fabric or with rib­<br />

bon or it may be uneven, scalloped,<br />

or pointed. Along with<br />

this circular skirt goes the somewhat<br />

higher waistline, and one<br />

charming little afternoon frock,<br />

made of printed voile, has a<br />

bloused bodice; a ribbon bound<br />

fichu; and a circular, ribbonbound<br />

skirt. The color note in<br />

the pattern is cherry red, and<br />

the ribbon used for the bindings<br />

is this color. The background<br />

is an off-white tone, and<br />

the other color in the pattern is<br />

blue—one popular version of the<br />

new flag color combination. The<br />

fichu is scalloped, and many scalloped<br />

edges are noticed in the<br />

newest offerings for Summer.<br />

In a general way we can wear<br />

pretty much what we please.<br />

There may be some colors or<br />

shades of colors more prominent<br />

in the fashion scheme than<br />

others; one may like a straight<br />

silhouette and another prefer a<br />

flare or a ripple here and there;<br />

but whatever the final choice of<br />

the person concerned, there is<br />

nothing severely wrong about it.<br />

The straight, the flared, the<br />

bouffant and the princesse line<br />

are all good. Necklines vary<br />

and waistlines as well. You may<br />

wear a sleeveless or a sleeved<br />

dress. And you may wear a one<br />

or a two-piece model; a cape or<br />

a coat; a two, three or four-piece<br />

suit. But there is the inevitable<br />

exception to all this—if you do<br />

not create an ensemble with<br />

what you wear, you are hopelessly<br />

out of the fashion picture.<br />

Everything is subordinated to<br />

costume harmony—the ensemble<br />

is the thing!<br />

M U S I C A N D A R T<br />

SUMMER art exhibitions<br />

are rather rare in Pittsburgh<br />

and picture admirers<br />

will welcome the exhibition<br />

arranged by the Wunderly<br />

Brothers for June 11 to 18. During<br />

this week they will show in<br />

their galleries the Albertina Collection<br />

of Prints and Marine<br />

Paintings by Patrick Dunbar, of<br />

the famous School of Schnars-<br />

Alquist.<br />

Mae B. MacKenzie, director of<br />

the Department of Music, Pennsylvania<br />

College for Women,<br />

sailed Thursday on the Karlsruhe<br />

for England. She will spend<br />

the Summer in London, going<br />

later to Scotland and returning<br />

from Glasgow early in September.<br />

Anto Carte of Belgium and<br />

Colin Gill of England will be the<br />

European members of the Jury<br />

of Award for the Twenty-seventh<br />

Carnegie International.<br />

They will come to Pittsburgh for<br />

the Jury meeting on September<br />

18. It will be their first visit to<br />

this country- They will be accompanied<br />

by Guillaume Lerolle,<br />

European representative of the<br />

Department of Fine Arts.<br />

The names of both of these<br />

painters are on the long list of<br />

European artists who have been<br />

introduced to America through<br />

the Carnegie Internationals.<br />

Carte first exhibited in this<br />

country at the Twenty-first International<br />

in 1922. In the<br />

Twenty - second, his painting,<br />

"Descent from the Cross," was<br />

awarded Honorable Mention. In<br />

the Twenty-third International<br />

his "Madonna with Musicians"<br />

became the center of interest in<br />

the Belgian section. In 1925 the<br />

Carnegie Institute held a special<br />

exhibition of Carte's paintings<br />

and in the last International one<br />

of his group of five was awarded<br />

Second Prize. This painting,<br />

"Motherhood," was later presented<br />

to the Carnegie Institute<br />

by Walter May of Pittsburgh.<br />

Anto Carte, born at Mons,<br />

Belgium, in 1886, came of a long<br />

line of wood carvers. At the<br />

age of 16 he left school and was<br />

apprenticed to a decorator. He<br />

studied at the Academy of Fine<br />

Arts in Mons and at 18 secured<br />

a scholarship at the Brussels<br />

Academy, where he remained<br />

three years. Another scholarship<br />

took him to Paris from<br />

1910 to 1912. He had returned<br />

to Belgium but a short while<br />

when war broke out. He joined<br />

the Civil Guards but on the advance<br />

of the Germans was arrested<br />

and sent to prison at<br />

Namur. He was soon freed but<br />

was kept under surveillance<br />

until the Armistice. During this<br />

long period of circumscribed activity<br />

he made illustrations for<br />

some of the poems of the genial<br />

Belgian poet, Emile Verhaeren,<br />

whom he had met in 1913 and<br />

whose philosophy of life and<br />

broad human sympathy he<br />

shared. After the Armistice, at<br />

the Salon des Beaux Arts in<br />

Brussels, he exhibited two paintings,<br />

"Pieta" and "Mater Dolorosa,"<br />

which gave him a distinguished<br />

place among Belgian<br />

artists.<br />

Colin Gill, who first exhibited<br />

at the Carnegie Institute in 1923<br />

at the Twenty-second International,<br />

was born in London in<br />

1892 and studied art at the<br />

Slade School, London. In 1913<br />

he was awarded the first English<br />

Prix de Rome. At the outbreak<br />

of the war in 1914 he became<br />

an officer in the artillery.<br />

Later he was associated with<br />

two noted French painters, de<br />

Segonzac and Forain, in camouflage<br />

work on the Western<br />

Front. In 1918 he was appointed<br />

official artist with the Army<br />

and painted a number of large<br />

war pictures now in the War<br />

Museum, London. After the war<br />

he specialized in decorative mural<br />

paintings and portraiture.<br />

Among others, he painted Sir<br />

Alfred Mond, Ramsey MacDonald,<br />

and Bernard Shaw. He was<br />

elected a member of the International<br />

Society of Painters in<br />

1925, and of the New England<br />

Art Club in 1926. Last year he<br />

did a large fresco of King Alfred's<br />

fleet defeating the Danes<br />

for St. Stephen's Hall, Houses of<br />

Parliament, London. He is represented<br />

in the Tate Gallery,<br />

London, by a picture presented<br />

to that gallery by Sir Joseph<br />

Duveen. In the Twenty-seventh<br />

Carnegie International he will<br />

have a group of five paintings.<br />

The International will open at<br />

Pittsburgh October 18 and will<br />

continue through December 9.<br />

Immediately thereafter the<br />

European paintings will be<br />

shown at the Cleveland Museum<br />

of Art and at the Art Institute<br />

of Chicago.<br />

A T the Nixon Theatre commencing<br />

Monday night,<br />

June 11, for an engagement<br />

of one week, The Nixon<br />

Players are to present Sam H.<br />

Harris' comedy success, "Little<br />

Old New York." The play, the<br />

work of Rida Johnson Young,<br />

will be staged in Pittsburgh by<br />

John Hayden, and the production<br />

is under the personal supervision<br />

of Ann Harding.<br />

HARRY BANNISTER<br />

Of The Nixon Players.<br />

In this, her latest offering,<br />

Mrs. Young has provided the<br />

stage with that rarest of<br />

achievements, an original idea,<br />

handled in a manner equally<br />

novel. The story is woven<br />

against a background of New<br />

York as it was a century ago,<br />

when Cornelius Vanderbilt was a<br />

ferryman, plying a boat between<br />

the Battery and Staten Island,<br />

and John Jacob Astor was President<br />

of the Town Council.<br />

Katherine Wilson portrays the<br />

role of Patricia O'Day, who masquerades<br />

as her brother Pat in<br />

order that she might receive the<br />

legacy left by an American<br />

uncle. A more charming, graceful<br />

"boy" than that of Miss Wilson<br />

would be difficult to find.<br />

There is something infinitely<br />

appealing about the slim, little<br />

figure, with little taste for trickery<br />

and deceit, unable to abandon<br />

her instinctive gentleness.<br />

With rare delicacy, Miss Wilson<br />

reveals a creature ever on the<br />

edge of blurting out the truth<br />

and ever restrained by pride and<br />

a fighting spirit.<br />

A T the annual meeting of<br />

the Alumnae Association<br />

of the former Pittsburgh<br />

School of Design for<br />

Women, held June ninth in the<br />

home of the president, Mrs.<br />

Henry R. Scully, in Lexington<br />

Avenue, the following officers<br />

were re-elected: President, Mrs.<br />

Scully; vice president, Miss Annie<br />

McKee; treasurer, Miss Carrie<br />

M. Reed. Miss Myra Boyd<br />

was elected secretary. As a<br />

number of the Alumnae Association<br />

members have won prizes<br />

at recent exhibitions of the Associated<br />

Artists of Pittsburgh,<br />

it has been decided that the Association<br />

will have an exhibition<br />

of its own in the Autumn, the<br />

date to be announced later.<br />

The cool galleries of Wunderly<br />

Brothers, in Wood Street, afford<br />

a delightful spot to while<br />

away time. On the walls are a<br />

number of fascinating canvases,<br />

among them a group of marine<br />

paintings by Patrick Dunbar, of<br />

the School of Schnars-Alquist.<br />

Outstanding among Dunbar's<br />

pictures is the one in which he<br />

portrays an expanse of rolling,<br />

blue-green sea waves, above<br />

which are massed rolling greywhite<br />

clouds, and in between,<br />

zooming along in solitary grandeur,<br />

is a magnificent airship.<br />

Only those who see it can understand<br />

the freedom and scope of<br />

Dunbar's work, the magic with<br />

which he has endowed his brush.<br />

Also in the same galleries is a<br />

charming collection of prints,<br />

the Albertina Collection, showing<br />

the work of such masters as<br />

Rubens, van Ostade, H. Robert,<br />

Boucher, Chardin, Fragonard,<br />

Durer and R. Behan. Both exhibitions<br />

will continue until the<br />

first of the week.<br />

William H. Oetting, director<br />

of the Pittsburgh Musical Institute,<br />

will be the guest <strong>org</strong>anist<br />

at the free <strong>org</strong>an recital this<br />

evening and tomorrow afternoon<br />

at Carnegie Music Hall, Schenley<br />

Park. Mr. Oetting will play selections<br />

by B o s s i, Delamarter,<br />

Clokey, and Bonnet. The last<br />

number in his program will be<br />

the Sixth Symphony by Widor.<br />

This composer's <strong>org</strong>an symphonies<br />

are among the finest<br />

contributions to modern <strong>org</strong>an<br />

literature. Widor is <strong>org</strong>anist of<br />

St. Sulpice and Professor at the<br />

Even more than the street railways company<br />

is the public inconvenienced. 389,615,236<br />

persons rode the street cars of the Pittsburgh<br />

more than a million a day. When a tie'up<br />

occurs some of this million must necessarily<br />

be inconvenienced.<br />

12 THE INDEX, Saturday, June 16, 1928<br />

Tlie Proprieties O f F a s h i o n<br />

There s real art in choosing the right thing, and net another art in<br />

putting it in its right place. We all have our problems.<br />

By BLANCHE SEARS EMERSON<br />

I T is not lack of material for<br />

the purpose, these days, that<br />

causes a woman to ponder<br />

her choices. It might even be<br />

said that there is too much on<br />

display, and the result warms<br />

the heart of the thrifty woman<br />

who is an artist in selection,<br />

when she has made her final decisions.<br />

Yet, the woman who is<br />

really thrifty makes no choice<br />

until she has planned her entire<br />

wardrobe and reduced its parts<br />

to their lowest terms. Frequently<br />

an accessory ensemble must<br />

play many parts in the scheme<br />

of things, for when the budget<br />

is limited one soon finds that the<br />

small things of the mode run<br />

into money. With the definite<br />

scheme in mind, one article will<br />

serve many needs, and variety<br />

can be achieved by clever harmonies<br />

and interchange of the<br />

same type of things. Certain<br />

rules, however, must be followed.<br />

Some of the combinations effected,<br />

in an effort to attain a<br />

harmonious ensemble result, are<br />

sartorial tragedies. This happens<br />

even when the individual<br />

units are quite the loveliest of<br />

their type; the tragedy of the<br />

whole thing lies in the fact that<br />

they are not the right type. And<br />

there is no excuse for mistakes<br />

of this sort, for accessory designers<br />

have kept pace with the<br />

originators of our frocks, coats<br />

and suits. Quite as glaring an<br />

error as the wearing of a picture<br />

hat with a tailored suit, or the<br />

use of high-heeled shoes with a<br />

tennis frock, may be brought<br />

about by the wrong jewelry; the<br />

wrong handbag; or the wrong<br />

gloves. Yet, when expenditures<br />

are not practically unlimited, the<br />

conservative choice, rather than<br />

the unusual, alluring though it<br />

may be, must be chosen.<br />

The rules that must be observed,<br />

in the selection of every<br />

accessory from hat to shoes, will<br />

stand frequent repetition. They<br />

refer to type, with little reference<br />

to fabric or color, except<br />

when necessary. Headwear and<br />

footwear are always the first<br />

consideration, and after these<br />

come the minor details of the<br />

costume, far more important<br />

than many consider them. For<br />

sports and tailored ensembles we<br />

choose the small hat; for afternoon<br />

affairs either the small or<br />

the picture hat, depending,<br />

somewhat, upon the degree of<br />

formality and the ability of the<br />

individual to wear the large<br />

model. Evening hats are beingshown,<br />

close little affairs of extreme<br />

distinction, but the demand<br />

for evening hats is not<br />

very great, except for the woman<br />

who is dining out in some<br />

place of the hotel type.<br />

For all occasions, the simple<br />

hat; and for sports and town<br />

wear the model that is satisfied<br />

with a band or a simple pin.<br />

Flower trimmed hats possess a<br />

sort of formality, especially the<br />

close little flower helmets that<br />

are popular at the moment. The<br />

status of the veil is hardly settled,<br />

as yet; perhaps it will not<br />

remain with us long enough to<br />

demand a settlement, although<br />

efforts in its behalf are apparent.<br />

Footwear for the active<br />

sportswoman is the practical,<br />

low-heeled type; for the spectator<br />

a more tailored shoe, with<br />

some height to the heels, is permissable.<br />

For tailored apparel<br />

the Oxford and the one-strap<br />

slipper, and shoes of this general<br />

type are the correct thing, and<br />

fashion permits us to wear heels,<br />

not too high, of course, but fairly<br />

so.<br />

The formal afternoon costume<br />

calls for dressier footwear. But<br />

evening brings out the really<br />

beautiful slipper of delicate material,<br />

graceful lines and heels as<br />

high as the wearer can find comfort<br />

in. In the problem of footwear<br />

materials play a part, mistakes<br />

that are very glaring not<br />

uncommon. Satin, for instance,<br />

is not a street fabric, but belongs<br />

to the afternoon and evening<br />

ensemble. Reptilian leathers<br />

are inclined to informality; they<br />

are better in sports and tailored<br />

shoes. Handbags are so often<br />

matched to footwear that a parallel<br />

can be drawn. With leather<br />

shoes, leather handbags; and<br />

with satin, moire, velvet or<br />

suede shoes, handbags of the<br />

same materials. Envelopes or<br />

pouch bags of brilliants or pearls<br />

link this accessory to footwear<br />

by way of buckles, straps and<br />

heels.<br />

Women have gone simply mad<br />

over the new brilliant and gold<br />

jewelry, and it is probably responsible<br />

for as many mistakes<br />

in the ensemble as any one<br />

thing. Imagine a cloth frock in<br />

tailored effect having as an accessory<br />

a g<strong>org</strong>eous brilliant<br />

necklace, yet this has happened.<br />

Brilliants, crystals and rhinestones<br />

are not only correct, but<br />

best beneath artificial light,<br />

against the background of an<br />

evening frock. That same necklace,<br />

worn with a frock of chiffon<br />

or Ge<strong>org</strong>ette, and matched<br />

with a single ornament in the<br />

same manner, would be perfection.<br />

There are pieces enough<br />

that are eminently appropriate<br />

for daytime wear without stealing<br />

the beauty of the evening<br />

mode from its logical setting.<br />

Gold jewelry and pieces with<br />

colored jewels are a daytime<br />

choice; colored brilliants go with<br />

the afternoon frock.<br />

The business of linking two<br />

ensembles together and effecting<br />

an interchange of parts is<br />

one of the high lights of the<br />

present mode. A concrete example<br />

of what one ensemble<br />

theme can be made to accomplish<br />

will be practical. We will<br />

choose a suit of the town type<br />

that is so practical for daytime<br />

wear, since the average woman<br />

has more use for this suit than<br />

for any other. The frock of this<br />

ensemble may be a print, and<br />

the colors that dominate the<br />

pattern may be the tones of blue<br />

and green on a background of<br />

beige, the harmony accented<br />

with black. Accessories in any<br />

one of the colors will, naturally,<br />

bring that color into prominence.<br />

The skirt of the dress is banded<br />

at the hemline with a solid color<br />

—blue, the choice, and it is<br />

headed with a fine piping of the<br />

green of the pattern.<br />

The coat of the ensemble is a<br />

fine twilled material in the same<br />

shade of blue as the band, and<br />

it is lined with the print. Another<br />

two-piece dress is planned<br />

to go with this outfit, this time<br />

of navy crepe in the same shade<br />

as the coat and trimming on the<br />

frock. A banding is used on the<br />

jumper and it is piped with the<br />

green to match the band on the<br />

skirt of the printed frock; this<br />

piping also trims the neckline<br />

and the sleeve cuffs. The skirt<br />

is pleated and wholly untrimmed.<br />

Consider the possible<br />

combinations, all to be worn<br />

with the same coat. Either one<br />

of the two jumpers may be worn<br />

with either one of the two<br />

skirts, and details will link each<br />

to each. There remains the problem<br />

of accessories, and if one is<br />

careful in her selection, one set<br />

will serve all four costumes.<br />

Blue will prove a wise choice<br />

for the hat, handbag, even the<br />

shoes, and with the latter beige<br />

hosiery should be worn. A second<br />

accessory ensemble may be<br />

chosen in beige, which is a far<br />

less practical coloring, making it<br />

second choice. Cornflowers make<br />

a smart boutonniere. If one has<br />

a fancy for green, the hat and<br />

handbag may be chosen in this<br />

color; it is indeed, a matter of<br />

preference. It is possible to<br />

work out any costume type in<br />

this way, but the idea of the accompanying<br />

costume details may<br />

never be lost sight of for a moment,<br />

if the result is to be a suc­<br />

cess, sartorially and financially.<br />

Especially is this true of afternoon<br />

and evening attire, for little<br />

things of this type are inclined<br />

to the costly, when true to<br />

type, as they most certainly<br />

should be.<br />

Accessories for afternoon and<br />

evening are more delicate and<br />

fragile than those for sports<br />

purposes, but they do not receive<br />

the hard wear. Black, always<br />

smart, can be a practical choice<br />

oftentimes, even when the costume<br />

is formal, and it permits of<br />

much gayety in frock or suit,<br />

this subduing color. But it is<br />

well to beware of black footwear,<br />

lest it provide too startling a<br />

contrast and attract attention to<br />

the feet. The black hat—we are<br />

approaching picture hat time—<br />

is always effective. Accessories<br />

in any odd shade, chosen to complement<br />

a frock that uses that<br />

tone, are not a wise investment<br />

unless one's budget permits an<br />

accessory ensemble for every<br />

costume. One fan will be sufficient<br />

for several evening costumes,<br />

if its color is neutral—<br />

again black is a wise choice. The<br />

brilliant handbag is good with<br />

any evening ensemble; so is the<br />

lace shawl; so are brilliant heels,<br />

straps and buckles.<br />

Apropos of nothing, except itself<br />

and its general part in fashion,<br />

there is something to be<br />

said concerning the coiffure. It<br />

grows softer and more feminine<br />

in its lines as fashions continue<br />

this way. The softly waved head<br />

is the usual thing, and many<br />

women are growing their hair<br />

out just a bit to permit of the<br />

loose wave that is so generally<br />

becoming. There is a bit of a<br />

flair for the coil of hair at the<br />

nape of the neck, but it is, in<br />

many instances, very unbecoming.<br />

We have reached the golden<br />

age of hair dressing, for we can<br />

wear our hair any way that suits<br />

us best—long, short or between<br />

the two. Youth is growing its<br />

hair out, for long hair promises<br />

a thrill; but many will tire of it<br />

and return to the smart comfort<br />

of the "bob." Only when there<br />

is variety is there a general becomingness.<br />

HORSE SHO^ WINNERS<br />

Although the annual Horse<br />

Show of the Allegheny Country<br />

Club last week was a thing to<br />

try the temper of both man and<br />

beast, on account of the very<br />

muddy ring, yet the program<br />

was carried through without a<br />

hitch, barring the spills and<br />

trivial accidents, which were<br />

many. And a devoted audience<br />

in the ringside faithfully saw the<br />

performers through, each day.<br />

William C. Robinson's annual<br />

costume riding and driving<br />

party on Thursday, the opening<br />

day of the Horse Show, was a<br />

colorful and delightful affair,<br />

with the guests appropriately<br />

dressed for the event, which<br />

closed with a supper at Woodmont,<br />

the Robinson estate on the<br />

Heights. Numerous dinners and<br />

luncheons attended the Horse<br />

Show each day.<br />

FRED SULLIVAN<br />

Of The Nixon Players.<br />

THE Nixon Players will<br />

present the week of June<br />

18, at the Nixon Theatre,<br />

David Belasco's famous New<br />

York comedy by Avery Hopwood,<br />

"The Gold Diggers," after<br />

two solid years at the Lyceum<br />

Theatre, New York. "The Gold<br />

Diggers" is rather a misleading<br />

title—for at first glance one<br />

might suppose it was a play<br />

dealing with the mining interests,<br />

the extracting of the precious<br />

metal from the bosom of<br />

Mother Earth, but on the contrary<br />

it is based on the digging<br />

qualities which the pretty<br />

chorus girl exercises on the<br />

purse strings of the moneyed<br />

man. The comedy is far from a<br />

condonation or apology for the<br />

method of the average chorus<br />

girl, but rather a colorful picture<br />

of certain aspects of her life and<br />

activities. It proves beyond a<br />

doubt that often from a very<br />

humble beginning she can rise to<br />

fame on Broadway, and to a<br />

high social position as the wife<br />

of an aristocratic millionaire.<br />

Harry Bannister will have the<br />

role of Stephen Lee, played in<br />

New York by Bruce McRae;<br />

Katherine Wilson, the character<br />

played by Ina Claire in New<br />

York; Josephine Whittell is to<br />

play the part originated by<br />

Jobyna Howland; Louise Quinn,<br />

Kathryn Card, C. Russell Sage,<br />

Fred Sullivan, Howard Freeman,<br />

Clifford Dunston, Joseph Thayer,<br />

Frank Reyman and others<br />

will have prominent parts in<br />

"The Gold Diggers."<br />

STANLEY<br />

A novel stage presentation<br />

under the intriguing title of<br />

"The Streets of New York," will<br />

be shown at the Stanley Theatre<br />

next week. It will be composed<br />

of a well assembled group of<br />

specialties culled from the best<br />

musical comedies and revues.<br />

Among the leading artists will<br />

be Norvella Brothers, known as<br />

"The Musical Clowns;" Peggy<br />

English, popular Brunswick Recording<br />

Artist; Ge<strong>org</strong>e Lyons,<br />

harpist of extraordinary talent;<br />

the Six English Tivoli Girls in<br />

their famous English Bobby<br />

Dance and other numbers.<br />

The motion picture offering<br />

for the week will be Colleen<br />

Moore in "Happiness Ahead."<br />

The story holds the interest<br />

from beginning to end, providing<br />

humor, satire, romance,<br />

pathos and drama in quick succession.<br />

The central character,<br />

portrayed by Miss Moore, is a<br />

small town girl who marries a<br />

card sharp. Edmund Lowe plays<br />

opposite the star and in the cast<br />

are Lilyan Tashman, Edythe<br />

Chapman, Charles Sellon and a<br />

dozen others. Latest events in<br />

world news will be on the<br />

screen.<br />

THE INDEX, Saturday, June 23, 1928<br />

F R O M T H E E D I T O R ' S W I N D O W<br />

Pennsylvania recently has been brought to the<br />

attention of the people of ttie United States as it<br />

has never been done before. At the National Republican<br />

Convention last week it was Pennsylvania<br />

which directed the selection of the candi-<br />

Mellon date, kept the policies of the party within<br />

conservative lines and secured a ticket<br />

which men and women who have the future of their<br />

country at heart will not be afraid to support. It<br />

was a distinguished Pittsburgher who directed all<br />

cf the important movements which resulted in a<br />

convention of exceptional harmony, the shy, retiring,<br />

able Secretary of the Treasury, who in eight years<br />

of remarkable work at Washington has won the<br />

admiration and confidence of the American people.<br />

There are thousands everywhere who somehow do<br />

not like Secretary Herbert Hoover and who would<br />

much rather have seen another man put forward as<br />

the standard bearer of the Republican party but<br />

their faith in the wisdom of Secretary Mellon is so<br />

strong that they will be content to follow his selection.<br />

Their theory is that if Herbert Hoover is satisfactory<br />

to Mr. Mellon he should be satisfactory to<br />

the American people, in whose interest the great<br />

Secretary labored skilfully and well. Pittsburgh<br />

and Pennsylvania were never more clearly revealed<br />

to the entire people, as with the radio reaching into<br />

almost every home, the convention activities were<br />

as an open book. If Secretary Mellon makes no<br />

other accomplishment in his public career his skill<br />

in shaping the selection of presidential and vicepresidential<br />

candidates at Kansas City will stand<br />

out as his greatest achievement, as in the ordinary<br />

probabilities he has conferred upon the American<br />

people for another eight years the sane policies<br />

which have made the Coolidge administration exceptional<br />

in the history of nations. The blare of<br />

trumpets in the newspapers which preceded the convention<br />

and which embarrassed the Pennsylvania<br />

delegation, sob writing reporters going so far as to<br />

refer to kingmakers, made the task at Kansas City<br />

difficult. The work, however, was well done. It is<br />

to be hoped that the outcome in November will mean<br />

four more years of prosperity and a continuation of<br />

those Mellon policies which have done so much to lift<br />

the burdens of war from the American people.<br />

In view of the agitations in various parts of the<br />

country against the growing nuisance of smoke and<br />

the belief that railroads are among the most consistent<br />

offenders, facts revealed at a recent convention<br />

of the International Railway Fuel<br />

Smoke Association are interesting. In six years<br />

ending with 1927 the railroads report<br />

that they have effected a reduction of 19.1 per cent<br />

in the average amount of locomotive fuel consumed<br />

in freight service per 1,000 gross ton miles. In<br />

1921 such fuel consumption was 162 pounds and with<br />

the exception of a slight increase in 1922 each successive<br />

year from 1921 to 1927 has shown a saving.<br />

The maximum number of pounds of fuel used per<br />

1,000 gross ton miles during this period was 163<br />

pounds in 1922 and the minimum was 131 pounds in<br />

reduction in 1927 alone was equivalent to 2.5 per<br />

cent, which was greater than during the preceding<br />

year and slightly larger than the average annual<br />

reduction of the previous five years. Many features<br />

THE INDEX PUBLISHING COMPANY<br />

the controlling cause of a reduction in fuel consumption<br />

is the consistent effort of railroads to effect<br />

economies by better firing, elimination so far as<br />

service, slight increases in fuel consumption<br />

being noted in 1922 and 1923. Since then there has<br />

start doing it. The cleaner Pittsburgh is the more<br />

attractive it will be and the more prosperous will be<br />

its corporations and citizens which pay for the unnecessary<br />

smoke clouds. The way has been shown<br />

by the splendid efforts of Mellon Institute of Industrial<br />

Research under the direction of Dr. E. R. Weidlein<br />

in recent years. All that the situation needs is<br />

the incentive.<br />

WILLIAM G. CLYDE<br />

President Carnegie Steel Company, has pointed out<br />

that that great corporation has expended in modernizing<br />

and extending its plants in the Pittsburgh District<br />

more than $100,000,000 in the last five years.<br />

Such enormous expenditures place Pittsburgh even<br />

more on a competitive basis with the world and insure<br />

our industrial future.<br />

been a consistent reduction each year. The net reduction<br />

during the six year period amounted to 2.3<br />

pounds of fuel per car mile, or 13 per cent. The<br />

We were thrilled the other night during the broadcasting<br />

of the progress of the Republican convention<br />

by the remarkable speech of a Kentucky woman<br />

who referred to her state as the one upon whose<br />

bosom rested the great Henry Clay and<br />

Shame! which lived in history as the birthplace<br />

of the immortal Abraham Lincoln. Then<br />

we pick up a newspaper and read that a Kentucky<br />

judge, apparently sane as we view sanity, had sentenced<br />

to the penitentiary for life a fine looking boy<br />

of 13 years who confessed that he had killed a larger<br />

and older lad who had struck him with a stick. What<br />

kind of justice is there in Kentucky? They boast of<br />

their beautiful women, their fine horses, their blue<br />

grass, their glorious history, and the chivalry of<br />

their men! Then a miserable creature, with no more<br />

conception of the rudiments of justice than a hungrytiger,<br />

sends a 13 year old boy to imprisonment for<br />

life. The people of Kentucky should hide their<br />

heads in shame and should then <strong>org</strong>anize a vigilance<br />

committee and deal out justice as it should be dealt.<br />

If the governor and pardon board do not wipe out<br />

this stain, the act of a judge unfit for the bench<br />

will prove a lasting disgrace. Who would want to<br />

live in Kentucky?

In the Washington Memorial Chapel at<br />

Valley F<strong>org</strong>e, at half past four o'clock on the<br />

afternoon of Thursday, June fourteenth,<br />

and Mrs. James E. Ingram, of Wayne, Pennsylvania,<br />

was married to Mr. Robert Andrews<br />

McKean, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Andrews<br />

McKean, of South Negley Avenue. The<br />

Rev. W. Herbert Burk, rector of the chapel,<br />

read the service, with only the two families<br />

and a few intimate friends present. The<br />

bride, who walked to the chancel steps with<br />

her father, wore a gown of ivory satin, built<br />

on straight, simple lines with long, close-fitting<br />

sleeves, uneven hem line and trimmed<br />

with old family rose point lace. Her tulle<br />

veil fell from a cap of the same lace, fastened<br />

at each side with clusters of orange blossoms,<br />

and- her flowers were white orchids and lilies<br />

of the valley,. in a shower bouquet. Mrs.<br />

Alexander MacNaughton Luke, of Tarrytown,<br />

New York, and Cass, West Virginia,<br />

formerly Miss Frances K. Graham, of Pittsburgh,<br />

as matron of honor, was the bride's<br />

only attendant. Her frock of electric-blue<br />

naturally reflecting in their<br />

work the age in which machinery,<br />

the airplane, the automobile,<br />

the radio, and the movie are<br />

playing such an important part.<br />

Their paintings will tell the<br />

story of our civilization to future<br />

ages, just as the cathedrals of<br />

Europe tell the story of the<br />

Thirteenth Century. And then,<br />

every here and there, you find<br />

rare souls who pursue their<br />

painting unmindful of all that is<br />

going on about them. Their<br />

work, too, will have its place in<br />

our exhibition because we strive<br />

to have all aspects of contem­<br />

porary art represented." Mr.<br />

Saint-Gaudens has been abroad<br />

for the past three months, visiting<br />

is both determinate and<br />

indeterminate. In its<br />

present form it will go down<br />

into the history of fashion as<br />

the style of dress in the Spring<br />

and Summer of 1928; yet—it is<br />

constantly changing, getting<br />

ready for the Fall and Winter to<br />

come. The shops are disconcerting,<br />

the while they attempt to<br />

be reassuring, for they have an<br />

eye on the future as well as an<br />

eye on the present. We accept<br />

certain basic themes, but even<br />

as we do so we wonder if they<br />

will remain a part of the coming<br />

mode, or will pass into fashion<br />

history. The shops tell a story,<br />

but it is a continued one; we<br />

must be content with what has<br />

been revealed of the plot, and<br />

wait with patience for the next<br />

issue. We suspect the next installment,<br />

but are not sure. On<br />

what do we base our suspicions ?<br />

Certain fashion prophets are<br />

skillful in separating the wheat<br />

from the chaff, and we know<br />

that the wheat will endure.<br />

There are so many amazing details<br />

to cloud the issue of fundamentals<br />

that we are bewildered,<br />

but no matter how clever the<br />

former may be, they cannot<br />

make up for a mistake in the<br />

latter, the interpretation of<br />

which is very generally varied.<br />

If we stop to think of it, there<br />

are certain basic themes that<br />

run through the entire wardrobe<br />

story, and each theme is important<br />

in itself. We include in<br />

this group the silhouette, which<br />

is best described as "fluid,"<br />

since the appearance of straightness<br />

prevails, even when there<br />

are yards and yards of material<br />

in the model. In motion and at<br />

rest, two widely differing silhouettes<br />

exist, for in the latter<br />

there is simple straightness; in<br />

the former there is movement.<br />

The result of this combination<br />

is grace and beauty, and one has<br />

a choice of many methods in<br />

achieving this end. Ruffles, tiers,<br />

frills, flounces and poufs of the<br />

material at the side or in the<br />

back; capes and boleros and<br />

scarfs and jabots; these all contribute<br />

their bit. The unadorned,<br />

straight around skirt is unusual,<br />

though it does exist. Then there<br />

is the tendency toward the<br />

moulding of the silhouette; the<br />

gradual creeping upward of the<br />

waistline is noted; the hemline<br />

continues irregular and skirts<br />

are dropping. The average<br />

woman now finds it necessary to<br />

dress several times a day, if her<br />

activities include different<br />

things. No longer can she wear<br />

the same frock for sports; for<br />

lunch; and for afternoon affairs;<br />

for rigid lines have been drawn.<br />

The sports ensemble is differentiated<br />

from the tailored or the<br />

town costume; yet all of these<br />

are worlds away from the ensemble<br />

approved for afternoon.<br />

All this results in a feeling of<br />

formality that is firmly established<br />

in the mode. One is not<br />

correctly clad, this season, if she<br />

is not appropriately clad, and<br />

that means that the conventions<br />

have again exerted an influence<br />

on clothes, much to their betterment<br />

in every way. Then evening<br />

things are a group by themselves,<br />

their need arising from<br />

very different causes. Several<br />

elements contribute to this general<br />

classification into types.<br />

Fabrics, lines and color must be<br />

considered in respect to each. In<br />

the general group of sports, tailored<br />

and town ensembles, we<br />

find pleated skirts; width, subtly<br />

achieved; short, three-quarters,<br />

seven-eighths and hemline<br />

coats; and neutral, dusty colors,<br />

or the dark coat with the printed<br />

frock.<br />

The formal afternoon frock<br />

inclines to delicate fabrics and<br />

colors—the new blues in lace,<br />

chiffon or Ge<strong>org</strong>ette specially<br />

popular. Prints are, in many instances,<br />

the large floral patterns,<br />

differing from the smaller, neater<br />

prints of the tailored and<br />

town mode. The ample silhouette,<br />

long sleeves, the uneven<br />

hemline, and all the fascinating<br />

detail of tiers, draperies, flounces<br />

swinging capes and the like,<br />

make of these models a distinctive<br />

fashion. Evening permits<br />

you a choice between the<br />

straight and the bouffant silhouette,<br />

and there is a deal of idle<br />

talk concerning the return of the<br />

bustle—this, probably, a result<br />

of the liking for the bustle bow<br />

and chous of the fabric. Net<br />

and lace are much in evidence,<br />

also chiffon; or, in direct contrast,<br />

the taffetas, moires, and<br />

materials kin to them, impera­<br />

tive, if there is to be a correct<br />

interpretation of the bouffant<br />

and bustle silhouette.<br />

Casting a benign influence<br />

over the mode, we have the feminine<br />

theme, which is, briefly, a<br />

softening influence affecting all<br />

our fashions. The touch of lace<br />

at the throat of the tailored<br />

frock; the fluttering scarf or<br />

cape on the afternoon frock; intricate<br />

details of handwork that<br />

make themselves felt in the general<br />

effect, but are subordinated<br />

to the garment itself; these are<br />

typical of the new feminine<br />

theme. Of these several themes<br />

we confidently expect the retention<br />

of the major portion. We<br />

doubt very much that there will<br />

be a return to the ultra-ugly<br />

tube or pencil silhouette; we<br />

doubt the breaking down of the<br />

barriers between types; and it<br />

If uou could see with what eagerness the Ward Patients of<br />

Should uou wish to donate some of uour books, call Mauflower 57<br />

and truck will collect them


will prove an extremely difficult<br />

process to remove from general<br />

fashions the softening something-or-other<br />

that goes by the<br />

name of femininity.<br />

But, after all, if you are to<br />

achieve it, you must know what<br />

that softening something-orother<br />

is. The factor that contributes<br />

most of this new femininity<br />

is, undoubtedly, detail.<br />

True, fabrics and colors play an<br />

important part, but it is to the<br />

clever little things of the mode<br />

that we owe its final success.<br />

And there is no part of any<br />

model that they do not reach,<br />

hiding, at times, from one's first<br />

casual glance, but making themselves<br />

felt, just the same. We<br />

have been hearing, for a long<br />

time, of the importance of fabric<br />

manipulation. We accept the<br />

fact that skirts are longer; a<br />

trifle wider; and irregular as to<br />

hemline. But we hear more and<br />

more of the fluid silhouette. But<br />

there is such a mass of proof<br />

available to establish the authenticity<br />

of detail, that it is interesting<br />

only when it holds an<br />

element of differentness.<br />

There is nothing of abruptness<br />

about the fluid silhouette;<br />

it is a thing of subtlety and<br />

sophistication. Moulded lines are<br />

hinted at; more fabric is used in<br />

the frock; fulness is noted from<br />

the normal waistline down; occasionally<br />

it begins at the waistline.<br />

This would seem to be a<br />

trend toward something wholly<br />

different and we are interested<br />

in what that something will be.<br />

We are not unused to tiers,<br />

godets, flounces, draperies and<br />

the circular cut skirt. But one<br />

notes that they are carried up<br />

higher on the skirt than they<br />

have ever been. As an example<br />

—the skirt with tiers is not<br />

new; the skirt with tiers that<br />

run upward, even to a normal<br />

waistline, is new. It is amazinghow<br />

an idea can grow, as the<br />

idea of fulness is growing, adding<br />

a bit here and a bit there to<br />

the silhouette.<br />

We have had bows; drapes;<br />

capes and capelets. This season<br />

we have everything that will<br />

achieve a flowing effect—berthas,<br />

boleros, jabots, sash ends,<br />

side bows and bustle bows, as<br />

well as chous, all taking material,<br />

and all adding to the ample<br />

silhouette. The doing of all this<br />

involves the fabric of the model<br />

itself. So do the pleatings, tuck-<br />

ings, bandings and pipings that line; the blouse itself. Changes<br />

are all features of the trimming are apparent, and as a rule, sub­<br />

mode. Two color and two fabric tle changes and minor ones pref­<br />

combinations are featured, and ace radical changes another season.<br />

every possible variation of the<br />

some line in the arrangement of<br />

the blouse itself; we see them<br />

all. And the neckline is trimmed<br />

or untrimmed as you please. The<br />

former is the greater favorite,<br />

two ideas, singly and together.<br />

To be accurate, it is necessary<br />

that we consider detail in its relation<br />

to the integral parts of<br />

Any line at all—that would<br />

seem to be the best rule for the ing; but when there is an ap­<br />

Headlining the Keith-Albee<br />

vaudeville bill at the Davis Theatre<br />

next week will be "The Blue<br />

Slickers," a spectacular musical<br />

revue, featuring Marie White,<br />

Jerry Derr and Jack Howe, assisted<br />

by Joe Krane, Fonse Valentine<br />

and Roy Cameron. There<br />

are ten big scenes vieing with<br />

each other in beauty, in which<br />

are introduced specialties in the<br />

form of varied dancing exhibitions,<br />

stringed music, vocal<br />

numbers and much comedy.<br />

Dick Henderson, the "Funny<br />

Man from England," will entertain<br />

with his comedy patter and<br />

topical songs. He is a product<br />

of the London Music Halls and<br />

has met with much favor in this<br />

country. Jack Hewitt and Fred<br />

Hall, known as Songland's Favorite<br />

Sons, are harmony singers<br />

of excellent voice, good appearance<br />

and thoroughly likab!e personalities.<br />

Flirt," tells of a fascinating outand-out<br />

flirt, a resident of Paris,<br />

and her love affair with Count<br />

D'Estrange, impersonated by Albert<br />

Conti. The story is modern<br />

and gay. News reels will close<br />

the program.<br />

STANLEY<br />

Adolphe Menjou's latest starring<br />

vehicle, "His Tiger Lady,"<br />

announced as the photoplay at<br />

the Stanley for next week, is the<br />

story of a practical joke that<br />

turned into a real love affair between<br />

a rich woman and a<br />

"super" of the stage. Menjou<br />

plays the role of a minor actor<br />

in the cast of the Folies Bergere,<br />

his only apparent ability that of<br />

looking majestic while astride<br />

an elephant. One of the habitues<br />

of the Folies is a wealthy Tiger<br />

Lady. From his perch atop the<br />

elephant Menjou studies her.<br />

Through a practical joke he is<br />

forced to meet the Tiger Lady<br />

for the first time in the Maharajah<br />

robes he wears on the<br />

stage. He wins the princess,<br />

which role is played by Evelyn<br />

Brent, but not until he goes<br />

through numerous adventures,<br />

one of the thrills being his conquest<br />

of a ferocious tiger. In<br />

the supporting cast besides Miss<br />

Brent are Rose Dione, Lenardo<br />

de Vesa, Jules Rancourt, Mariel<br />

Carrillo and Emile Chataurd.<br />

The stage program will be an<br />

cut in a clever line, so applied<br />

that it becomes a part of the<br />

blouse. There are collars of various<br />

sorts, and this season we<br />

have the lingerie collar, vestee<br />

and jabot, which are most feminine<br />

in their effect. Lace is the<br />

preferred material for this purpose<br />

The bertha collar, that<br />

becomes a cape in the back, and<br />

the jabot or scarf, doing many<br />

all successful.<br />

Sleeves are, or they are not.<br />

One may reserve her opinion on<br />

their general becomingness and<br />

do as she pleases. Evening<br />

frocks are sleeveless, and one<br />

sees, here and there, an after-<br />

noon model without sleeves, accompanied,<br />

usually, by a transparent<br />

jacket. Sports frocks<br />

leave sleeves out of the picture,<br />

and some dresses have a cape<br />

that takes the place of a sleeve.<br />

The waistline, apparently, has<br />

aspirations. In many models we<br />

have a frankly normal waist,<br />

and the general trend is upward.<br />

the circular flounce, and length<br />

—assured, not only by the trend<br />

in evening models, but by a perceptible<br />

lengthening of daytime<br />

dresses. It is noted that skirt<br />

trimmings are placed low, and<br />

some skirts show ruffles. Another<br />

innovation—at times those<br />

ruffles are repeated on the<br />

bodice, which shows a decided<br />

tendency to take trimmings to<br />

itself. This assures femininity<br />

in the new mode.<br />

We may reasonably expect the<br />

ensemble, when Fall modes begin<br />

to arrive. And by this is<br />

meant the costume suit, composed<br />

of jacket and frock in harmonizing<br />

and matching fabrics<br />

and colors. There is a continual<br />

change in the form of the ensemble,<br />

showing that fashion<br />

interest is centered in it. Spring<br />

gave us the printed dress with a<br />

coat of wool, lined with the print<br />

of the dress. Summer has<br />

brought new versions of it, and<br />

we now have the printed ensemble<br />

which makes both coat and<br />

frock of the print, variety often<br />

achieved by a combination of<br />

two fabrics with the same design.<br />

Then there are the ensembles<br />

made wholly of Ge<strong>org</strong>ette,<br />

those in navy blue exceedingly<br />

practical for town wear, although<br />

black, gray, white, beige<br />

and grege are important colors<br />

for this ensemble type.<br />

Transparent velvet is a factor<br />

in the ensemble group and incidentally,<br />

velveteen coats are<br />

making their appearance. Linen<br />

is another Summer fabric that<br />

has yielded to the lure of the<br />

costume, and plain and printed<br />

linens are combined effectively.<br />

The sleeveless tennis dress<br />

promises much, and it has a coat<br />

or jacket to complete it. Bathing<br />

attire, even the jersey swimming<br />

suit, affected by the active<br />

sportswoman, has an accompanying<br />

jacket, coat or cape, and<br />

every beach costume is complete<br />

to its last little detail. Accessories<br />

continue to effect two and<br />

three way combinations, one of<br />

the most important at the moment,<br />

the hat, shoes and handbag<br />

that match, either in fabric.<br />

color or trimming, and at times<br />

all three. It may be reasonably<br />

expected that the ensemble will<br />

endure.<br />

Perhaps there is less of prophecy<br />

in the hats of the moment<br />

than in anything else. This happens<br />

because we are in the midst<br />

of the Summer season, when the<br />

picture hat reigns supreme, and<br />

brims follow, as a matter of<br />

course. The medium-brimmed<br />

hat, planned for the woman who<br />

may not wear the picture hat,<br />

solves the formal afternoon<br />

problem, and is a worthy rival<br />

of the small hat in other respects.<br />

So important has the<br />

idea of a printed material be­<br />

come, that a hat has been specially<br />

designed for frocks made<br />

of it. It is made of fine paillasson<br />

straw and harmonizes with<br />

the background of the frock.<br />

Grosgrain ribbon, in the predominating<br />

color of the prints,<br />

provides the trimming. The<br />

newest millinery mode exploits<br />

lace—alone or in combination<br />

with straw or silk, which re­<br />

L Y D A Neebson, a former<br />

Pittsburgh soprano, has<br />

been engaged for a recital<br />

at the Music Festival, to be given<br />

at 8 o'clock the evening of<br />

Thursday, July 12, in the Temple<br />

of Music at Conneaut Lake<br />

Park, under the auspices of the<br />

Festival Chorus of the Middle<br />

West. Miss Neebson—she was<br />

Lyda Peterson when she sang in<br />

and around Pittsburgh a few<br />

years ago—received her first<br />

training here under Lee Hess<br />

Barnes of the Pittsburgh Conservatory,<br />

now Music Director<br />

of the Festival. Later she went<br />

to New York and studied with<br />

Madame Marcella Sembrich and<br />

with Romano Romani, Rosa Ponselle's<br />

teacher. She has coached<br />

also with the best coaches in<br />

Europe and America.<br />

Miss Neebson made her debut<br />

at Beethoven Saal in Berlin, and<br />

made her American debut at<br />

Aeolian Hall, New York. This<br />

recital comes as a climax to a<br />

very successful Spring season.<br />

An added attraction to her coming<br />

recital is the fact that she is<br />

to be accompanied by a well<br />

known Pittsburgh artist. Earl<br />

American, critics have spoken<br />

highly of Miss Neebson, the<br />

"The Nervous Wreck," by Owen<br />

Davis. This adventure in the far<br />

two others, Taylor Holmes and<br />

Vivian Tobin.<br />

ANN HARDING<br />

A member of The Nixon Players.<br />

The story, written in a spirit<br />

of fun, has to do with an Easterner<br />

who, suffering from a long<br />

list of imaginary ailments, seeks<br />

health by making a flivver tour<br />

of the West. He finds adventure,<br />

becomes involved in a hundred<br />

and one complications,<br />

meets the girl of girls, regains<br />

his health and discovers romance<br />

and happiness. Katherine Wilson<br />

will play Sally M<strong>org</strong>an,<br />

originally played by Vivian<br />

Tobin, and Harry Bannister<br />

plays the part of Henry Williams,<br />

originally played by Taylor<br />

Holmes. Other members of<br />

The Nixon Players have prominent<br />

parts including Josephine<br />

Whittell, Louise Quinn, Kathryn<br />

Card, Fred Sullivan, Joseph<br />

Thayer, Clifford Dunstan, Howard<br />

Freeman, Clifford Edge and<br />

Frank Reyman.<br />

STANLEY<br />

Pirates of the old days will<br />

relive in the Stanley stage presentation<br />

"Eight Bells," which<br />

will open Monday. Stars galore<br />

will be found in this atmospheric<br />

presentation of song, dance and<br />

syncopation. Olivette, well<br />

known eccentric dancer; Paul<br />

Howard, who believes in making<br />

himself into a pretzel; the Lime<br />

Trio, "Golliwog" dancers; Elsie<br />

Gilbert, "The Sweetheart of the<br />

Blues" and Ge<strong>org</strong>ie Tapps, who<br />

does a buck dance on his toes,<br />

will all contribute to the gaiety.<br />

In "The Hawk's Nest," the<br />

Wagner's Big Side Show is the<br />

biggest show of its kind on<br />

earth and it will be brought intact<br />

to the stage of the Davis<br />

Theatre next week. Everybody<br />

likes a circus, and here is a congress<br />

of living freaks. They are<br />

not merely a group of Nature's<br />

mistakes, they are a lot of clever<br />

people. The Fat Woman, for instance,<br />

is a dancer; and the little<br />

lady no higher than your knee<br />

is a prima donna. Wagner's<br />

Side Show has all the atmosphere<br />

of the lot. The first scene<br />

is the Circus Grounds with its<br />

flaring banners. There is Billy<br />

Inman, the barker, the silver<br />

tongued orator doing his ballyhooing,<br />

stimulating the crowd to<br />

"step up" to the ticket booth.<br />

Then the scene changes to the<br />

arena, with the world's tallest<br />

man; the head hunter; the perfect<br />

doll lady; the Caucasian<br />

Dagger Dancer; the six hundred<br />

and thirty pound Roly Poly<br />

girl; the King of Albinos and<br />

The class of 1917 of Mount<br />

Union College, Alliance, Ohio,<br />

has established a scholarship<br />

which has been named for one<br />

of the members of the class, Ray<br />

McLean, who died in France<br />

during the world war. The<br />
