Last Night at Theaters

Gounods Faust" by talented sing

the new-fiown banner OF the Wash
ington Opera Company. This Is the
group that gave The Bohemian
QfrP' and "Pagiiacci" with such
marked success last spring. Edou-
ard Albion, the general director OF
the enterprise. has proved by this
new presentation that the movement
Is capable of sustained success and
that the claim of the organSGation
to permanency is no idle vision.
Faust" with It's wealth of roman
tic melody and strong dramatic Ia
terest. proves an excellent choice
for the endeavors of these ambitious
washingtonians. The opera, which
Is to run all this week; was given
last night with remarkable smooth
ness and finish. The chorus, per-
haps. lacked something Of the vigor
and volume of voice that marked its
work in the previous productions.

Among the soloists. Oliver Mellum
as Valentine, Is perhaps the most de-
serving OF credit. for vocal merit at
least, though the Mephisto of Hollis
Edison Davenny is also particularly
commendable. Leopold Glushak, who
sings Faust. has a tenor voice of
many pleasing qualities.
The pure and delicate soprano of
Miss Marguerite Holt Is we'll suited
to the gentle character Of Marguerite.
and the singers charm of person Is
also admirably adapted to the role.

uNDRESSY DRESS

Nothing Above the Waist

Paris. Nov. f7-The s...bothing be-
low the knee giri"-is completely
outdons by the latest freak of
Partisan fashion. Now comes the
day OF the nothing above the
waistline girl" She has already
made her debut at fashionable
tango palaces.
BY this newest fashion feat" the
woman in evening gown Is reduced
to such a minimum OF garments as
to outdo altogether the notorious
'undressy dresser worn by the
Empress Josephine.
Merely Phase of G;aiety.
Philosophers assert that they are
merely phase. of the wave of
madness and gaiety now sweeping
France. and especially Paris, fol-
lowing the long painful restraint
of five years of war. But what
ever may be the psychological ex-
planation, the fact remains that
the smartest women in Paris today
are less draped than ever before
and that they are devoting their
time to terpsichorean contortions
almost to the exclusion OF any
other pastime.
A canvass OF leading dressmak-
ers reveals there is no indication
of skirts being heightened or
thicker materials being adopted for
tbodices.
At Lyons the great silk manu-
facturers are busy creating the
newest goods of the thinnest fab
RIGS ever known, which are expect
ed to be taken up for the spring
models.

The latest is the white mosque
veil" which is said to have been

The import of. the document dawn
cd upon her. With some of her, old
time vigor, Mary sprang from the
chair. She went to the railing. She
stood there with her eyes turned back
over the sea toward home.
Herb Truman had been responsible
for that legacy!
i The ship swung softly from side
to side. From down on the surface
Of the waters came the ceaseless
swash of the spray. Pedestrians
paced the deck. From somewhere
far up forward an orchestra was play
ing dreamy music.
But of these things Mary Purse
took no note.
The moon came up after a time.
and made fantastic dreamy place of
the infinite wastes of water.
Lovers laughed in the Swallowed
hooks and corners. The black smoke
from the tunnels trailed off to the
distances like a cloud of unleashed
black phantoms.
Her thoughts were back in New
England where the peaceful dream
time of the summer night was upon
the landscape and the crickets were
cheeping down in the roots of the
ragged lilacs.
And here, with her lack-lustre eyes
fixed on inspeakable solitude, let us
leave her. Let US leave her and go
back to our labors and our town and
newspaper and the ordinary two-leg-
ged men and women who remain.
Let US bid her farewell and see her
sail away in the path of the moon
light, calling Bon Voyage to her,
trusting that the time may come soon
when we may join the familiar faces
and hear again the familiar voices
with her in the Great Port where
storm-tossed humanity comes safely
to harbor at last.
For someday, please God, it shall
come our turn also to embark upon
a Journey-to take ship and sail
away for the Port of Missing Faces.
Then like Mary Purse, as she draws
softly out of our hearts and out of
our story, we will become one with
the thousands of souls no the bosom
of the Infinite; we too will be flash
of phosphorus washed on the evening
pillows.
