Stock Season at Walnut

Histrionic history had local repetition
last evening when the Walnut timehon-
ored In the annals Of Thespis, turned
again to Stock" which in it's older sense
fourished in the early days of the play
house. In one of the successive COM
panies resident in the historic theatre,
according TO tradition, Edwin Forrest
made his debut In Young Norval" Com
ing down to more recent period. Eugene
Blair for couple OF seasons headed stock
companies there.
Whatever is done at the Walnut Is ac-
cording to some fine old precedent; nov
city has long ago been exhausted in it's
most varied career. The most recent full
filment of tradition, in the form of the
stock company which inaugurated its sea-
son last night with William Ingersoll as
star, was worthy in every respect of
achievements of the past. Mr.. Ingersoll' S
several seasons here as chief of the Or
pheum Players established him as a prime
favorlte, and his faithful following was
out In force to Welcome his appearance in
the title role of "D'Arcy of the Guards. "

Like dream of spring is the fashion
show at Kelth's this week. Everything
that woman wears from the time she
opens her eyes in the morning until she
closes them at night is shown according
to the very latest craze. It would re-
quire a father of abundant purse to fol-
low the pace set by the score of beauties,
who show you what is proper If one
would be up to date.
Eve herself appears first clad in smiles
and flowers, and then time is bridged
quickly as stately. smiling and coquettish
girls appear in spick- -and-span out-of-
door costumes, which include everything
from riding to bathing. Arthur Geary,
who acted as host to the girls of fashion
In picturesque garden, sang during the
time they donned their afternoon and
evening raiment. The types selected were
ideal, and in many cases looked as IL they
had stepped from the shiny pages of a
fashion book to the stage.
Names which figure in the world Oh
fashion were among the exhibitors, II
