Henrietta Gresham, who comes to the
National aext week in THE Christian
Pilgrim" is regarded as one Of the best
gowned women Of the American stage,
and in recent years her productions
have enabled her to present TO her audi
ences a series Of effective costumes.
Many of these have been copied by
modistes and individuals who have vis-
ited the performances. and the fact that
Miss Crosman herself has not only de-
signed but arranged the color scheme Of
her costumes has only added TO their
interest.
This year, however, Miss CrOsm91
has sacrificed her personal Womanly
ambitions for continued distinction ia
this lire, and has cast aside the feJCii-
ing princess gown and fascinating even
ing robe for the sombeF dOublet Gnd
hose required in the role of Christian n
in The Christian Pilgrim" She az
xnovvledges that IL required strong eI'
fort to look ahead through the season
and know that her matinee audiences
would not have the memory of modish
AFTERNOON gown to take home with
them. that she could not offer through
out the year the slightest suggestion
OF her own taste in hats. and that not
even the smallest novelty of personal
adornment could make itself known
through her costumes in the new play
Miss Crosman has, therefore. - con-
