Miss Robson usually dresses
quite simply as herself. She thinks
1t helps keep her from being rec
ognized in public, an experience
she dislikes.
AS to her stage attire, well,
she admits that she may have
been lucky. The one costume she
wore in Arizona" was very mex
pensive, and as the little mountain
maid in "Audray," she dressed al
most in rags, the costume costing
her just $12. The price of Kate
Hardcastle's gown in "She Stops
to Conquer" was SIS, Juliet need
ed but cloak and a simple gown
OF white, and in Merely Mary
Ann" the maids costume, which
showed the results of frequent
trips to the laundry, as it was in
tended, was obtained at a very
trifling expense. In Nurse Mar
Jorie" the price of her nurses cos
tune was just $3.50.

presentations, special singing and
lancing and are good entertainers
in general.
The Three Dumonds, Partisan
street musicians, furnish an espe-
cially strong feature. One of the
Dumonds plays the violin beauti-
fully, another has good tenor
voice, and the third is a very
clever comedian. They are made
up in comedy characters and get
lots of laughs.
Thos. ]. Keogh & Co. present

AT THE TACOMA
"BREWsTER'S MILLIONS"

"Brewster's Millions" one of
the most pronounced successes of
recent years in New York and
Chicago, and London, will be pre-
scented at the Tacoma theater Sun
day and Monday. The dramatiza-
ton of McCutcheon's book does
not touch very strongly on either
the comic or the tragic, but
while it lasts it does amuse. The
storm at sea, showing a yacht be-
ing pitched about is most effec-
tive bit of realism. The plot of
"Brewster's Millions" offers OPP
portunity for any amount of anus
ing situations.

AT THE GRAND

Eight acts comprise the vaude-
vile offering at the Grand thea
ter for next week, beginning with
a matinee Monday. Each act is of
feature interest. Ralph tombstone,
premier cyclist of the world, will
be the headline attraction. The
cyclist has received stellar notices
in every city in which he has APP
peared. The climax of the act is
a twenty-foot leap on a bicycle
from a pedestal to the stage.
Another feature, direct from
the Lincoln Square theater In New
York, will be that of THE Coun-
try Choir" a pretty singing nov
|elty, embracing quartet of splen-
did singers.
Chefalo and Capretta, who have
achieved success in a very novel
offering, have what they term a
magical garden, introducing a
)clever array of tricks with rings,
flowers and flags, etc.
Teffingwell and Bruce offer
what Is claimed to be a hilariously
funny comedy, 1.-THE Ashes of Ad-

sketches in which cremation is
used as an adjunct to funmaking.
Gladys Van, the well-known
singing Coincidence, will be seen
in clever and pretty turn. Her
costuming is of the daintiest.

ELEANOR ROBSON SPENT
LESS THAN 500 FOR cos
TUNES In Z OF HER PLAYS

TUNES IN OF HER PLAYS
- The life of an actress is natural
N associated with the wearing of
costly clothes. The stage would
lose half its glamor and it's wom-
EN- half their charm without them.
That's what we think.
But 1t has been left to one win
some little leading woman--she
likes the name better than "star"
T-to prove the contrary.
And to show how greatly we are
mistaken, Miss Eleanor Robson,
who has won appreciation in q
number of successful plays, comes
to the front with the assertion
that the quality of the apparel
makes little difference; almost any
old clothes will do, so long as they
are adapted properly to the part.
Returning to New York to pre-
pare for her new role in "The
Dawn of Tomorrow" a new play
written for her, Miss Robson was
amused because her friends were
commenting upon the fact that her
costumes for the play would cost,
all told, less than 800.
"One hundred dollars! Why"
she gasped, ''all the costumes l
have worn in last seven plays have
cost me less than that. For years
on the stage, l have worn the sim
plest of gowns, mostly ginghams
and calicos. Why, my IS dolls
little aristocrats-are princesses
in comparison. II l had to buy
