WEARING OF WIGS

OF SOCIETY 0 L

Chicago, Oct. 6.-Having exhausted
about all h styles and vagaries that
could be extracted from the war,
women have now stepped bach to
colonial days and the ultra-fashionable
are wearing white wigs at evening
functions. The craze is said to have
taken firm hold upon New York, and
it has filtered through to Chicago.
These wigs are not for elderly
women. They are o by young
matrons and girls and the effect COM
bined with a youthful face Of fine
color is stunning. They lend trans
parency to the face. tighten it up and
a%ccentuate the color. Rouge must be
used in order to obtain the best
effects.
Leading hairdressers and specialists
admitted that they were receiving
numerous orders for the wigs, which
are extensive. The are much finer
than the wigs worn by actresses, and
are usually worn over bobbed hair.

Marilynn Miller Danced
Along Path Leading to

When L. Ziegfeld jr. puts the name
x Marilynn Miller in electric lights
over the entrance of a Broadway thea
ter in the near future, along with the
name of her co-star, Leon Enrol, Miss
Miller will have accomplished what she
set out to do.
II will dance to Broadway on my
toes and they will put my name up in
electric lights" she told her mother at
the age of fifteen. For five years Miss
Miller had tried to gain New York
hearing: She was only ten years old
when she made her first unsuccessful
attack on Broadway and was rebuffed
She was member of the Miller
Family, a vaudeville company, which
consisted of Miss Miller, her mother
and father and two sisters. The two
sisters have married and the mother
and father have retired from the
stage. Miss Miller now sustains the
family honors alone.
around the world, for she began as
toe dancer at the age of four, and had
appeared in France, England, Germany,
Spain, Portugal, Australia, Honolulu
and Cuba before coming to New York.
While she was dancing at the Four
Hundred Club in London she was
noticed by a New York manager and
invited to come to New York to appear
in revue. She appeared successfully
in three revues and then for a brief
period co-starred with Clifton Craw-
ford in a musical piece called Fancy
Free"
She got her real chance on the path to
stardom, however, when she appeared
in production of Ziegfeld's "Follies"
three years ago. She was featured in
the "Follies" for three seasons, and
then Mr.. Ziegfeld had the musical play
sally of Our Alley" with two star
parts prepared for her and Leon Enrol.
The piece is now in rehearsal under
staged the "Foles." In the company
besides Miss Miller and Mr.. Enrol will
be Walter Catlctt, the Fairbanks twins,
Edythe Baker and Mary Hay. The
music is by Jerome Kern.
While Miss Miller has achieved star
dom on Broadway, she is still an indie
fatigable worker. Every week she takes
an hours dancing lesson under the
tutelage of Alexis Koslotf, and she will
celebrate her stellar appearance with
surprise for New York audiences by
been studying voice culture for five
years so that she would be ready.
"A toe dancer" said Miss Miller at
her home on Madison Avenue, "must be
as thoroughly trained as champion

for one day 1 feel it physically.

Alan Dinehart, Successful in
''The Mirage" Has Not Given
Up His Vaudeville Connections

The story of Alan Dinehart, now as
sociated with Florence Reed in "The
Mirage" at the Times Square Theater,
10 an interesting leaf in the book of
the drama. Although he comes Of q
theatrical family, being the namesake
of his father, who was for many years
manager of the old New York Casino,
young Dinehart was educated for the
priesthood rather than for the stage.
The latter was so much in his blood,
however, that he quit the study of
divinity His first theatrical oppor-
tunity came when he was still in Mis-
soula (Mont.) University, through
Daniel E. Bandman, who was present
ing Shakespeare through the Middle
West with company composed largely
of college students. Afterward Mr..
Dinehart went through the mills of
stock, but was wise enough not to re-
main there long enough to become me-
chanical.
Alan Dnehart won his first real rec
ognition in the theater in vaudeville
in a one-act play written by him in
collaboration with Everett Ruskay.
This play was called "The Meanest
Man in the World" and was used by
Mr.. Dinehart as a successful vaudeville
vehicle for several seasons. Three
years ago he entered into contract
with Augustin MacHugh to enlarge the
sketch into a three-act play. According
to this contract, MacHugh was to have
all the glory of authorship and Dine
hart was to appear as the star of the
production when it should be made.

By tiarriette Underhill

One day last week Fritz Leiber ran
away from his Shakespearean re-
hearsals long enough to invite us to
tea, and this is no small undertaking
when one is conducting the rehearsals
in Atlantic Highlands
Did you ever have tea with Mr..
Leiber? Well, then, you know that it
is tea in name only-that is. as far as
he is concerned. AS matter of fact,
we do not believe that Mr.. Leiber ever
cats or drinks anything. He invites
you to tea or to dinner or supper be-
cause he knows that you like it.
The day we had tea with him he said
THE same, please" without having any
idea what we had ordered, and when
his toasted mullins and chocolate and
petit fours were placed before him he
regarded them sadly and left them
there.
"No wonder you have lean and
hungry look" we said. Don't you ever
eat anything?"
Mr.. Leiber shook his head. but
whether in negation or in remonstrance
we do not know. SO we continued:
perhaps Shakespeare had you in mind
when he said, who wanteth food and
will not say he wants it, or can con-
ceal his hunger till he PERISH or per-
haps you 'cloy the hungry edge of ap-
petite by bare imagination Of L

would be impressed by our knowledge
of Shakespeare and would give US a
chance to tell him how we used to be

does not care enough for Shakespeare
to enjoy sitting in dark theater for
five or ten minutes while the scenes
are shifted, and what l am going to
work for is speed. If possible, l want
only few seconds to elapse while the
changes of sets are made"
