WITCHES GALORE AT
SOCIETY MASK BALL

The costumes worn by the Broom
stick Witches at the Orpheum this week
will be objects of close scrutiny by the
feminine contingent. During most OF
their appearance in their tabloid comic
. opera the witches are fetchingly at.
tired in the traditional pointed witch
hats and in Jackets and silk boomers.
The costume is as odd as it is appeal
ing to feminine fancy. While the be-
witchine misses were playing at tbs
San Francisco Orpheum a month ago
the leader of Frisco society gave a
masked ball.
Prizes were offered for the most strik-
ing costume and for the most original
ideas and the.rivalry was keen. Nearly
every society woman attended the
Orpheum during the engagement of the
Broomstick Witches, and nearly every
society woman also taxed her ingenuity
and the ingenuity of costumers and
dressmakers in an effort at some "eres,
ton - that would outshine those of her
social rivals.
When the evening for the masked
ball arrived there were over forty
Broomstick Witches on the foo"

sincerest fattery that could have been
given us and was matter of comment

HATTIE WILLIAMS
CLOTHES TIMETABLE

One woman actually has so many
clothes that she tires of them. For
Hattie Williams, star of The Roll.
licking Girl, clothes mean hard work.
They compel her to keep to time
table. On matinee day Miss Williams
makes twenty complete changes from
the time she rises until she leaves the
theater at night.
During the performance Miss Will
liams makes nine complete changes of
costumes-known in theatrical parlance
as "strip changes changes visible
and invisible-add to make these and
still carry out the artistic effect she has
to change, the dress of her hair four
times and alter her makeup for
almost every gown.
For instance, explained Miss Will
