Messrs. Friedlander and Gottlob believe

Miss Hall is going to introduce copy
righted effect into the second act, one that
will make her audience watch her with
trembling interest. She will do skirt
dance in dress made entirely of tissue
paper. This is the latest novelty in stage
costume, and if the paper proves to be all

will mean great saving to actresses who
trip the light fantastic, for paper skirt
can be gummed together in few minutes
