Not so many years ago Melville Ellis,
who will be at Keith's next week, de-
signed the costumes for the Shubert musi-
cal comedies. His costuming always ran
to the dainty. attractive, striking color
effects Good taste was the keynote of Mr.,
Ellis ideas. Mr.. Ellis has decided views
on dress psychology.
ITO be individual in dress usually
means to be badly dressed.
"The primary purpose of dress should
be to establish the true relationship of
person and personality with environment
and social color, and TO do this with that
exquisite sense of the eternal fitness Of
things, without which all the art and Gun.
ming of the fashion creator are in vain.
Most women lose sight Of the fact that dis.
tinction is the sign of class in dressing.
In designing the costumes for a chorus
of a musical show. l have always put
my theories into practice and before com.
ing to a final decision 1 have had the
young women of the chorus spend sew
eral afternoons in my study where 1 could
study them and the result has always
been satisfactory.
'In designing the Ave gowns worn by
Miss Irene Bordoni for the act in which
confronted by an entirely different sit
uation. Here the object was not to estab-
lish the relationship of personality with
environment, but to bring into high relief
the predominating characteristic of an in
dividual woman's personality. In Miss Bor-
doni's case, this characteristic was chic
ness. Here was a woman whose every
feature. whose every line of figure, whose
every movement of head or body, spelled
chic. After my first interview with her,
there followed a general ransacking of
my memory for some clue-a bar from
some half-forgotten French chanson---a
saucy figure looking out from some dim
old canvas. which might eventually lead
me into finding just the right style Of
frame with which to surround and en-.
hance her piquant personality.
after two days of cogitation along
this line, l suddenly recalled John Sar.
gents famous picture, 'Carmencita The
figure of the famous Spanish dancer be.
came motif and in all the five gowns
which proceeded to design for Miss Bor.
doni the Spanish influence is paramount"

Do You Want a Place
to Make Love
In?

"Where do they find such lovely places2'
Frequently the question has been asked
by persons who are watching a motion
picture. They wonder where the photo
play producers find the scenery.
Out at the studios of the Jesse L. Lasky
Feature Play Company, at Hollywood,
Cal, there is one man who does nothing
but ride around in his big automobile and
discover" places that are ideal for back
grounds to be used in motion-picture plays.
At the studio he has big card index
system by which he keeps account of all
these places. 1t saves a lot of time.
When the director of a production wants
a nice, quiet place for a love scene or a
NICE noisy place for an exciting chase,
all he has to do is to look 1t up in the
card index. Then an entry is made on
the card, stating that the scene has been
used, because the same scene is never used
twice in a Lasky production. Persons
who see photoplays remember scenes.

Kilkenny Theatre
of Some Years
g Ago

People often quote the saying about
fighting like Kilkenny cats" but cats are
not the only things with the name of Kill
kenny that are worthy of note. The Kill
kenny Theatre, at least deserves some
consideration, even If the pugilistic ten
dencies or the cats are lacking.
About the latter half of the eighteenth
century 1t had become the rage in fash
ionable society to indulge in amateur the
atricals. Plays were presented at Lugan.
in Armagh, the seat of the celebrated
William Brownlow also at Thomas Con-
oly's, Castletown, County of Kildare, and
at the residence of the Duke of Leinster
Canton. In 1774 amateur theatricals were
inaugurated in the County OF Kilkenny
1t was at Kilfane, in 1898, that the Kill
kenny Theatre really originated under the
auspices of Mr.. Richard Power. afterward
Sir Richard Power. The company was
persuaded TO go to Kilkenny and open
public theatre in aid Of the charitable in
stitutions of that city. The theatre was
opened February 2, 1903, and continued
for period of II years, the final per-
formance being given October 2S, 1919.
During the theatre season, which lasted
two or three weeks. the city was filled with
the most influential people In the land.
Whole families came annually TO make
Kilkenny their home during the time Of
festivity, which was called the Kilkenny
Carnival. Thomas Moore, the Irish poet,
was member of this company, also Bss-
sls Dyke, who afterward became the wife
Of Moore. In 1912, Eliza ONelll, who
later became famous as an actress, was
also member Of the company Great
friendship and social intercourse existed
among the members Of the company. II
Ia recorded that these amateurs reached
a proficiency in their art equal to that
OF the best professional actors of the
age. The story of Biske O'Hara's new
play, Kilkenny" is an invention in which
the author has tried to preserve the at

BOARD OF IMMIGRATION
PRINTS YEARS REPORT

Signed by E. II. Wodehouse, presi'
dent of the board of immigration,
labor and statistics, the report of that
body for the period from July /, 1913,
to June 80, 1916. is just off the press.
Nothing has transpired during the
year" says the report, which would
have justified the board in attempt
ing the further introduction of parties
of European immigrants to Hawaii.
While there has been a considerable
Improvement in the outlook for the
main industries of the country over
that which obtained during the period
covered by the last report, the sup
ply of agricultural labor within the
Territory, .of the class introduced by
the board, has been sufficient to meet
demands.
1.-THE consideration OF applications
for repatriation from immigrants In
troduced from time to time under the
auspices OF the board has been the
chief subject to engage its attention,
continues the report.
During the period total OF 135
persons were ordered deported to
their homes. Steerage arrivals totaled
from coast, colonies and Orient, 1851
men, 2315 women and 495 children.
Departures by steerage we're 1851 men,
1898 women and 1922 children. Cabin
arrivals were 1892, 5212 and 564 for
men, women and children. and depar.
lures were 1883, 4464 and 49,.
