a very short coatec-which barely
reached below the waist-with a sac

coat itself was made of plain cloth,
but the lower portion of the Kimono
sleeves showed stripes, and there was
a blouse OF chalk white guipure inset
with motifs of embroidered muslin.

Feather bcas are making their re-
appearance, and are mostly shaded
with two colors. Many reach to the
bust, others to the waist, and others
again to the knees, while tassels of
silk or feathers terminate them, and
velvet ribbons also sometimes do this
decorative duty.
Hats are being pushed further and
further back, until there is as much
hair to be seen from the forehead as
from the nape Of the neck; indeed in
many cases there is more TO be seen
at the front than the back. Such
state of affairs is by no means con-
ducivo to n trim outline, but Il attains
favor, and no doubt will continue to
do so during the whole of this season.

detail is repeated on the bodice, with
the addition of some cobwebby lace,

One Actors Debut.

II isn't often that an actor makes
his debut under circumstances similar
TO those attending Frederick Perry's
initial stage entrance. The name on
the program opposite the character
played by Perry was Miss Grace Fill

young Perry played the part, the mes

NOT TINE FOR A SHINE.
Comedian Objects 10 Having His
stage Coots Polished.

A new assistant property boy was
engaged the other day for Joe Web
er's company. He is youth whose
knowledge of the theatrical business
is in inverse ratio to his energy and
determination TO make himself use
full Passing tho door of William
Hodges dressing room when that ac-
tor was on the stage, the youth caught
sight of the rubber boots that Mr..
Dodge wears when he appears as the
chief OF the volunteer fire department
in Dream city" In keeping with the
costume, the boots are artistically
splashed with imitation mud. The en-
ergeic youth at once came TO the
conclusion that Mr.. Hodge had waded
through the city's mud TO the theater
and here was a glorious opportunity
for him TO get busy. Down to the
property room he hurried with the
mud-oncrusted boots, and in com
Paratively short space of time the
original luster of the rubber was re-
stored and the boots returned to their
original resting place
A few minutes later when Mr..
Hodge prepared to don the footgear
a few earnest, well-chosen remarks
were heard to issue from his room.
There was some rapid-fre investiga-
tion, brief but heated discussion,
and passers-by out in the street were
astonished 10 see a youth shoot out
through the stage entrance of the
theater and proceed TO slosh about in
the mud pair of glstening boots II
observers thought the young man was
crazy they should have looked in at
the stage door and seen Mr. Hodge
dancing around in his sock feet and
calling upon high heaven to punish a
stupid property boy in accordance
with his deserts.

5RoADHuRsT 40 a MANAGER.
He ls One Of Few Who Look After
Royalties.

The author Of "The Man Of the
Hour" George Broadhurst. Is of all
our playwrights the least promising
subject for the man seeking a tall, on
such themes as The True Mission of
the Stage, The Future of the Ameri.
can Drama "The Theater as an Edu.
cational and Ethical Force" In the
words OK George AIDE, Mr. Broadhurst
long ago let go OF the dying rings
and returned to the green earth" His
brother playwrights regard him as an
icOnoclast declare that he Is running
for them the magazine field of eXploi-
tatiun and even go so far as to say
that he is not playwright at all but
a manager Managers, on the other
hand, insist that Broadhurst is com.
bination OF playwright and financier
They point, among other things, to the
fact that he once took down S11 900
on a ten per cent royalty basis for a
play on which the producers lost $40.
600 When they demonstrated with
him for what they term the "unholy
unfairness of it all" he retorted that
figures only proved that he was
a profitable playwright and that they
were Improbable managers. Then, to
prove his argument, he took over the
business end of the venture booked"
the play through season of 36 weeks
and made $4,000 net profit.
A few nights after the run of The
Man of the Hour began in New York
city last December a magazinist bore
down on Mr., Broadhurst and asked
for talk that would give her material
for an eightpage article ON The Play
of Purpose He inquired as TO what
she meant by The Play of Purpose "
Why" she exclaimed, plays like
