all the Cameron Queens-Frances. Made
lin and Dorothy-Charlotte Greenwood
and several crates more to do daringly
devilish and death defying neck swings
over the caves Of one's s~kyscraping
front yard for the mere asking who
can plant batteries Of movie operators
and floods Of movie lights in his Broad
way front yard and take pictures OF
every move OF every guest-and the
whole party was absolutely full of move
ment who simultaneously can COM
mandeer an electric talking advertising
sign on the roof of an adjoining sky
craper. and page dilatory guests by
means of electric lights that blazed
the length Of Lonsacre Square and be.
yond-any host and hostess who give a
houscwarming Of such magnitude are
bound to be made socially forever In
Broadway's swaggerest set.
Many Names Flashed.
The idea Of paging guests with an
electric advertising sign came to Host
Carroll early. Johnny Ahrens. adver-
Using manager Of the Electric Talking
Sign Company Of New York. Inc. Is a
friend Of Publicity Promoter Jay Barnes
Of the Morosco offices and Of Arthur
Levy. who was publicity promoter for
the party. And both the publicity men
promised Johnny Ahrens that II Johnny
would let Host Carroll use the big cleo
trio sign on tho roof just to the eeward
OF the function they would see to 1t that
Johnny got an Invitation to the Carroll
function.
Therefore. along about 80 o'clock
yesterday morning the Electric Talking
S!gn FIRMS incandescent bulbs for the
time being lost all interest In flashing
southwark along Broadway the news
that Sandy O'Shaughnessy's Scotch-Irish
whiskey makes life seem longer. or that
the Ring-Lardner Swift Six Ii the favor

"Miss Grace Valentine Is overdue at
the Earl CAROLS shack" was the an

which greeted guests coming out OF the
rival function In honor Of President Will

fickered the sign at last. and temporarily
went out Of commission after this fnal
effort.
Looie Caught Lingering.
But the machinery was repaired In
short order by Johnny Ahrens In person
and was started all over with the far
flung cry, mfr. Loole Mann. please !!
Just then. however. Playwrte Mac.
Hugh's brother. Otto. came to the ROOF
with an announcement that Looie Mann
once Looie had noticed his name being
flashed on the high roof sign. had pur-
osely begun to linger down near the cor
ner OF Forty-ffth street and broadway
: instead Of hurrying toward the party
with the hope that the sign would con
tinue to flare forth with his name
until daylight dimmed the bulbs
Therefore the electric sign paging
was discontinued. and not only Looie
but Guests clifford n his missus. Eve
lyn. and Charlotte Greenwood and the
promising young Italian emotional &C
tress known as Mile. Regina Mcmanu'
Connelli. and many more. who also had
been purposely delaying down Broadway

stone as soon as Host Carroll had got 4

one Of the objects to be sealed up In thu
cornerstone was q package OF parii

Magnum Not wasted.
The paris green was inserted and 50
was a magnum of champagne, which
unlike the quar- wasted ruthlessly OF
the cornerstone by Miss Greenwood
was OF a fancy French brand. The cor

bungalow, but no mortar was placed
around II, on the theory that the sus
