A number of beautiful effects were
gained through the lighting arrange
ments which proved effective and at
tractive; especially in the Rose
Chorus were the effects of the lights
beautiful. All the costumes for Ar
den were lovely creations and we're
designed by Mrs. Richard Reese who
was chairman OF the committee in
charge of the entertainment. The
stage settings too were especially at
tractive.
Following the performance last
night general dancing was enjoyed in
the lobby Of the Hotel DUPONT. There
will be matinee this afternoon and
another performance tonight AT con-
clusion of tonights performance Mrs.
Lammot DUPONT will entertain all the
cast at supper on the stage.
Change the Program.
Many of the programs distributed last
night contained stickcrs celebrating the
name Uptown Eclair," in the cast for
Garden" and substituting the name "ihe
Master instead. As was stated in these
columns yesterday, some residents OF
Arden had protested against the linking
even by suggestion of Upton Sinclair's
name with Arden in the sketch. The
protest was no press agent story, but
seriously made. Mrs Richard Reese. OF
the committee OF the Home of Merciful
Rest, who is supervising the production
of ''Poussc Caic.' explained today that
when the protest of Arden residents was
received il was too late 10 have new
programs printed, but in Difference 10 the
wishes of residents of Arden. "stickcrs'
were printed substituting "Ihe Master
for the name Uptown Eclair.' aud were
pasted in as many programs a. possible
for last nights performance. The max
ing of this change in the program was
serious undertaking and some
programs had 70 be issued without the
"stickcrs' in them.
