Some Of Dorothy Rossmore's Stunning |
Creations.
OF unusual interest to the ladies will
be the fine consuming of the feminine
members of Mr.. Stuart Robson's com
pany which appears in "The Henri
etta," at the Brooks theater Nov. q.
The scenes are laid in the ultra fash
ionable set of New York, and as the
time is Of the present day it has given
opportunity to the different ladies to
appear in the latest creations of for
eign and domestic modistes' skill.
Having always realized the great
interest such embellishments lend to
the performance of "The Hcnrietta'
Mr.. Robson this season in selecting
his company was careful TO engage
those actresses who are known as the
'best dressed" women Of the stage,
and also whose appearance would al
low them to grace any new beautiful
design in costuming. His company
has therefore four of the most beau
tiful women on the stage, Miss Dor
othy Rossmore, Estelle Carter, Mary
Kealty aud Laura Thompson. A
friendly rivalry has existed between
tne-e ladies as to who would bring
10 view the most stunning gowns, and
perhaps the verdict must be left to the
audience.
A modiste has kindly furnished a
description of Miss Rossmore's dress
es, as follows:
The first act gown is of mousseline
de sole over heavy white taffeta. The
mousseline is covered with beauti-
full design in black jet and silver ap-
plique. The skirt, fitting closely at
the waist, falls in graceful folds to
the hem. under which are numerous
founces of the silk, and mousseline,
trimmed with ruchings Of the mouse
line in black and white. The waist,
which is cut decollete, is worked in
elaborate designs of the jet and silver
applique, and is finished at the back
with butterfly bow of bright orange
silk. with ends in which are inserts OF
white lace, sweeping to the length OF
the train.
The second act gown is an unusual
ly rich creation in pale blue louisenne
silk. The skirt, which fits the figure
like a glove is trimmed with two mt
ted flounces, finished with strappings
of white satin. the sleeves of the
waist corresponding The waist is o.
the louisenne. over which is jewelec
a bolero. with tablier fronts, reach
ing TO the hem of the skirt. The
bolero is worked in cobweb designs
with ladge and small turquoises an'
Jets. and is mosr striking in effect

An immense bunch of poppies give

tiful gown.
The gowns of the other ladies OF th
company are equally as elaborate
MISS Realty, a noted beauty OF tn
pure Irish type OF features, has som
fine imported gowns from Worth
Paris. while Miss Laura Thompson,
society belle Of Washington, who ha
recently adopted the stage, has ha
all her gowns made by Washingto
dressmakers, preferrlng this country
dressmakers to those Of foreign cou
tries. Miss Esteile Carter, who pla
ed Maxiue Elliotts role in when "
Were Twenty one" 90 last year has ha
her dresses made by Miss Elliott
dressmaker in London.
