LIGHT ON ANATOMY
OF SHEATH GOWN

That the sheath gown has become a
fixture for the time being on the stage
at least, seems to be a certainty, and 1t
is just as much of a cinch that the
naughty gown with the slash in the side
which has incurred the lasting enmity
of numerous prim persons never will
attain popularity on the streets or In
the drawing rooms of Los Angeles or
any other city. But since it is destined
to be 81 feature in many of the light en-
tertainments which are presented on
the Los Angeles stage during the pres
ent season it is interesting to note that
the original models of the first gowns
with the slashed skirt to be worn are
to be seen at the Mason opera house
during the engagement of Rose Stahl
in her famous comedy of stage life,
THE Chorus Lady"
Thereby Hangs a Tale
Considerable of a tale is appended to
this statement, as Miss Stahl claims
that every sheath gown that has been
in this country is a burlesque of the
original gown as 1t appeared in its more
or less curtailed form at the Long
champs race track in Paris some
months ago. The real Tanagra sheath
gown, so named from the Tanagra
models in famous Paris dreSSmaklng
establishment, does not provide gap
ing slit in the side extending from the
hem of the skirt as far UP the side as
the audacity of the Wearer or police
regulations will allow. The opening is
there, it is true, but it is filed in with
very fine lace. The lace is more or
less a subterfuge, for through it's SHIN
mering gauzy folds may be CLEANED
more than occasional glimpses Of the
silken clad limb of the fair wearer.
But that is the French idea, anyway.
Why f1aunt a gaping vacancy In the
skirt when the flimsy gauze insertion
will accomplish the same purpose in
so much more artistic manner?
However, such is the original TanG-
gra sheath gown for wearing which
half a dozen Paris beauties were sum-
marily elected from the Longchamps
one fair day last April, and that brings
the story down to the gowns which are
to be displayed in Los Angeles this
week. Rose Stahl spent part of the
summer in Paris, and in the course or
her search for new gowns entered the
famous dressmaking establishment OF
Margarine Lacroix, where the first thing
she noted were the Tanagra models
adorned with copies of the first sheath
gowns.
The Plot Thlckens
James Forbes, author of 1.-THE Chorus
Lady," who before he became a sue
cessful playwright was dramatic re-
viewer for Pittsburg paper. was also

ing Salesman" will be presented at
the Mason opera house by Henry B.
Harris for a weeks engagement, COM
mencing tomorrow night.
Miss Stahl comes direct from her
record breaking engagement at the
Van Ness theater in San Francisco,
and in the role of Patricia will be
heartily welcomed when she makes her
bow to Los Angeles audiences. THE
Chorus Lady is a play with record
such a record that it ought to be
mentioned briefly at least. Produced
three seasons ago in New York as an
offering by a new author with an I'M
known star, it leaped to instant fame
and remained the entire season on
Broadway, at the same time SCATTERING
the old theatrical superstition that
dooms a play which is moved to an
other playhouse early in its run. If
this were true "The Chorus Lady,
would have been twice destroyed, for
it was forced out of both the Savoy
and Garrick theaters by previous book
ings, and finally found shelter in the
Hackett, where it's business continued
to capacity until the summer months.
Then without interruption the run was
taken up at Powers theater, Chicago,
and lasted through four months of
sweltering weather. This was fol-
lowed in turn by long runs in other
cities. so that when Miss Stahl in
sisted on taking a vacation last May
at the conclusion of a long run in
Boston 1.-THE Chorus Lady" had to its
credit ninety-four consecutive weeks
of record breaking business.
BURBANK-For the farewell week
of Miss Florence Stones starring en-
gagement at the Burbank theater Man
ager Morosco will present Miss Stone
and the stock company in Hugh Nor
toms funny farce. "Glittering Gloria"
never before presented in Los Angeles
at popular prices. Mr.. Morton first
came into prominence by writing 1.-The
Belle of New York" His later play is
said to be we'll up to the mark set by
the earlier effort. The farce will pro-
vide Miss Stone with role excellently
suited to her ability as a cOmedienne,
and also will present other members of
the Burbank forces in congenial as
signments.
The story of "Glittering Gloria" CEN
ters about a necklace displayed for sale
in a Bond street jewelry store, London
for $25, 900. The expensive bauble Is
purchased by Jack James, recently
married, who intends to present 1t to
Gloria Grant, an actress, as remem-
brance of an old acquaintance now
terminated. Mrs. James, however dis
covers the necklace in her husbands
| possession, and he, in order to placate
her explains that he has bought 1t on
speculation. This is only the beginning
| of the fun which starts first IN the
| jewelry shop, proceeds thence TO

MISS JEAN FRENCH IN ORIG NAL PARIS SHEATH GOWN

in Paris at the time, and Miss Stahl at
once sought him and intimated that
these gowns would be a big hit If worn
in the famous dressing scene in THE
Chorus Lady" He conceded in her
opinion, and after considerable dicker-
ing they succeeded in securing exact
copies of the six original gowns. And
to make sure that a skeptical American
public would doubt, the playwright ana
the star insisted that Margarine La
croix give them genuine blown-in-
the-bottIe affidavit for the gowns.
When the first rehearsal of the play
was called in New York the young
women who play chorus girls were sum-
moned to be fitted into the sheath
gowns, and at first they demurred
strenuously, but after having once tried
on the gowns their objections grew less
violent, for the dresses are really crea-
tions. and what woman can resist O.
creation even if a bit of the skirt is
more or less transparent?

BEIASCO - Richard Mansfield's
greatest success, "A Partisan Ro-
NANCE" is to be produced for the first
time in stock at the Belasco theater
beginning tomorrow evening. 1t was
in this play that Mr.. Mansfield as the
Baron Chevrial made his first hit on
the stage and came into almost instant
fame. Mr. Mansfield never forgot that,
and during his lifetime kept the play
in his repertoire, and with many others
always thought 1t his great part. 1t
| Is in fact a wonderfully dramatic char
acter. that of the old roue Winning and
dining in the face of death only to meet
! the grim destroyer finally at the
banquet table surrounded by his
friends from the ballet and from the
theater. The death scene in the third
act is one of the most pathetic OF any
play ever before the public, and yet It's
| gruesomeness is partially relieved by
the little touches of comedy that the
| dying man himself gives to 1t. For
years Mr.. Mansfield refused to allow
| the play to go into stock, and pre-
sented it himself only a short time be-
fore he died.
In fact, it is oply lately that the es-
tate has seen fit to allow 1t to be
played, and Mr.. Belasco takes the tirst
opportunity to give it to his patrons.
Harry Glazier, who made such NIT
as "The Devil" is to play the Mans
field part of Baron Chevrial, and the
other members of the Belasco company
have been well cast. The dinner scene
is to be set deliberately and the scenes
in the theater foyer and the baronS
residence will be works of art.
Dorothy Bernard will play Rosa, the
actress who is the favorite of the
Baron, and her former work guaran-
tees a clever performance, as 1t is one
of those parts that Mt Mr. van buren,
will be seen as Henry de Targey, and
Miss Virginia Kline will be the baron
ness of Chevrial. Miss Eleanor Carey,
who is well cast in the play, has the
unusual experience of having played
in the original cast with Mr.. Mans
field and remembers the night when
the actor in few hours became IA
nous by stepping into the part or
Chevrial as an understudy.
HAMBURGER's MAJEsTIC-"The
Alaskan" a genuinely American comic
opera. will be at Hamburgers Majestic
theater for the week, beginning with
performance tonight. This Is the first
attraction to open at Hamburger
Majestic on Sunday evening.
"The Alaskan" is here under the
management of John Cort fact which
in itself is a guarantee that the opera
will be we'll put on. This is its second
successful season, the piece having won
it's way through the inherent interest of
its story. the cleverness of its lyrics
and the melodious quality Of its
music.

now starring in 1.-THE Substitute" and
Harry Girard are the authors of the
opera, and in both locale and theme
they have hit upon an actual novelty
in the way of a story. The possibili-
ties for costuming and scenic pictures
with Alaska as the central point
proved practically limitless, and the
three men concerned were not slow to
take advantage of them. In their story
they have skilfully interviewer love
tale and relation of a search for gold
in the Tanana river district of the far
north gold fields. Among the charac-
ters prominent in the development of
the plot are "Totem Pole Pete" pros
pector; Richard Atwater, mining en-
gineer; DR.. Meadowbrook Blazes, a col
lector for museum; Mrs. Good Better
Best, chaperon Arlee, her charge;
and the many members of theatrical
troupe which has stranded In Alaska
