tunes embracing everything from odd
pairs of boots and slippers TO wigs
and caps that belonged to Miss Amelia
Bingham, sold at bargain prices at
the first session of an auction of the
actress effects in Smiths Knicker-
booker sales rooms.
These. with vari-colored gowns and
military uniforms and civilian suits,
were "hand-me-downs" from the
wardrobes of the plays The Climb
ers," THE Frisky Miss Johnson" "a
Modern Magdalene,' and some of the
other productions in which Miss Bing-
ham has appeared in the last ten
years.
The change in stage styles was ap-
parent as when a green lace ball gown
and an embroidered and richly beaded
dress were put up for sale there were
ordinations Of admiration in chorus
from the feminine contingent at the
quality of the textiles, but q hesita-

Smiths exhortation to make their
bids.

"only 81 offered for Miss Bingham's
piece de resistance in her best scenes
in The Climbers? Don't you remember
what q great hit she made when she
swept on the stage in this green lace
dress? Then there's this dinner gown,
don't you remember Miss Bingham in
this? She will certainly be surprised
when l have to tell her how little was
offered for a gown that cost her hun
dreds of dollars. and has the import
er's trade mark in it,"
There was not much better demand
for the military unifoTm5 One gaudy

and two pairs Of extra fancy knae
breeches were displayed. They didn't
get an offer higher than the women's
gowns. and finally with two more
uniforms that had bedecked prominent
actors as stage admiraIs or generals,
were knocked down to DR.. John Quin-
Ian, who said he was buying them for
the gold braid.
Theatrical relics collected for years
by both Miss Bingham and her late
husband, Lloyd Bingham, who died
two years ago on board the Henry
Ford peace ship, were more in de-
mand, and pictures of actors and ac-
tresses of past generations were
