ROAD SHOW COMES
 COLUMBIA TUESDAY

Philip Bartholomae's dreams seem to be coming true these days, at least in the material sense of pleasing audi ences who are in search of something light, amusing and at the same time of sufficient merit to distract attention from more serious things.
 In conjunction with Silvio Hein, the provider of the music, Bartholomae has put forward in When Dreams Come True" an interesting rival of the musi- cal plays which have gone before, and he has managed to inject a satisfactory amount of the characteristics of his comedy assays. Along the producing line, the stage manager has likewise done well in costuming, in the selec- tion of specialties and the settings generally, in addition to the main parts which are taken by players well enough known to drow on their own accounts.
 MT. Hein, from the standpoint of the popular catchiness in his special musi- cal numbers, maintains himself well in all the nearly two score that are provided. Chief among these is When Dreams Come True" the song which gives the play it's title and which runs through some of the orchestral in strumentation.
 In the cast there is individual popu- larity as well as merit. Lawrence Ackerland, as 'Kean Hedges" is one of the most capable musical comedy juveniles of the present time, while Florence May Smith. as Beth is the possessor of a pleasing personality and sweet voice. For comedy work there is Harlan Briggs, as Hercules Strong detective, and Carolyn Glenn as Ma thilda," the country girl, is always a sure tough producer.
 When Dreams Come True,' will be seen at the Columbia next Tuesday and Wednesday, both matinee and even- 1 ing"

JOHN D.'S HOME
IN CLEVELAND IS
RUINED BY F|REDUG

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Dec. 1s.-Fire,
believed to be incendiary, early today
destroyed John D. RockefelIer's
Forest Hill home, in East Cleveland.
at an estimated loss of 100000. The
FIRE was discovered in a bed room that
Rockefeller always occupies while
here.
Few OF the rich furnishings OF the
house. which was built by the oil king
forty years ago, were saved. Fire
men today were searching in the ruins
for a valuable oil painting OF John d.
himself, which he priced highly. All
the valuable paintings and art treas
ures were removed two years ago,
when tax officials levied an assess
ment OF several millions against him.
The belief OF officials that the fire
was incendiary was strengthened
when watchmen declared there was no
fire in the furnace last night. A large
crowd which witnessed the blaze was
held on the edge OF the estate by a
high iron picket fence, which borders
the entire Rockefeller property.
Five oil paintings and an immense
grandfather's clock were among the
few things saved.
Friends of Rockefeller today de-
clared the IRE made certain that he
will not return to Cleveland. Mayor
Minshall, of East Cleveland, a per
sonal friend of Rockefeller, said he
believed John D. would stop his an
nual visits here.

[ little trimming is seen and consists for the most part of stitching or braiding although scme embroidery is used. This is done in heavy silk in contrast ! ing or self color. The pointed or V neck line is being replaced by the square and oval out line. The square opening was used somewhat last year but the oval neck ! is decidedly new. The back of the wais. line comes we'll up to the collar line while the front is cut low as for merly.
 Panels, tunics and side-draperies are seen everywhere but are always us- ed with the straight, slim silhouette in view. These are a boon to the stout woman as in many cases the waist line is barely defined and may be raised or ! lowered to suit any figure.
 The tunic as used now has come to mean a blouse and overskirt joined, as in the Russian blouse. and worn over satin slip. With a black or white satin slip, a woman has endless op- portunity of creating a wardrobe by means of different tunics. l Navy blue serge combined with sout- ache braid and serge covered buttons is used for one tunic to be worn over a black satin slip. The slip skirt is very narrow while the overskirt is us- ually rather full with pressed in plaits. Long sleeves are close fitting as in the waist
 Owing to the scarcity and increased cost of materials, combinations of diff ferent sorts are very much in vogue. Satin and serge, chiffon and silk. satin and velvet, are all very lovely and give an unusual touch that might otherwise be lacking.
 On the elaborate tunic for afternoon wear fur bands are sometimes used for trimming but the smartness lies in the beauty of the lines and simplicity of the garment.
 For informal evening affairs tunic of chiffon, Georgette crepe Or lace may be used to good advantage over slip of cream white. The neck line is mo- ticebly high and almost invariably { round or oval.
 Wide crushed sashes of soft satin ribbon tied at the back accompany the more delicate tunics. while wide girdl- es of the material are used with the tailored ones. The overskirts reach to the knees or below according to the height of the wearer.
