Mrs. Orr Believes II.
Mrs. James Orr, of 1928 o street

she not only subscribes to the above,
but she believes 1t herself.
To her friends in Washington who
have been paying SIS for simple

that a Accent dress may be a nov

Atlanta, says Mrs. Orr. All the girls
down South are blossoming out In
them. And have been for the whole
summer.
'One of the best known society
women in Atlanta l saw wearing her

glad to introduce this fad to Wash

Here's How II Is Done.
Here's how it's done" says Mrs.
Orr. Buy three and one-half to four
yards of unbleached cotton. It's
cents a yard. Buy any pattern that
suits your style of beauty. And then
work i'm a design or various Golors
out of the same material.
The hat is made of cane like the
cane used in the seat of a chair. only
of finer grain. A worsted design re-
sembling a flower is used for the
decoration. IL you make IL yourself
It comes to 10 cents; II you have It

The fad came about down. South

owing to the low price of cotton, and
women were urged to make dresses

Harry Cooper Quits
A BMrLesque Throne
To Go Into "Vaude''

Certain prominent gentlemen in
Europe having set the fashion in
abdicating, another king is ready
to announce his resignation of a
throne he has held without serious
opposition for several years.
He is Harry Cooper, featured
comedian with Al Reeves Beauty
Show, at the Gayety Theater this
week.
He is forsaking the burlesque
boards to shine in the vaudeville
armament next year. The versatile
Gayety star has already signed con-
tracts which will give him almost a
continuous run over the Keith and
Orpheum circuit next season.
1t is not his own fault that Cooper
is not a ring champion instead of
dean of the fuAmakers along the
Columbia circuit. Early in life he
tried to learn the ways Of the ring,
and doubtless would have become a
knight of the padded mitts had it
not been for the Intervention Of his
father.
His boyhood life spent in. San
Francisco, Cooper has been in the
East only since his debut on the
stage. AS a boy, Cooper admitted
he belonged to a street gang in
Frisco that prscticed markesman-

Small Difference
In Audiences, Says
Masquerader" Star

Guy Bates Post knows whereof he
speaks when he makes an interest
ing analytic comparison between
American, Australian and London
audiences, for he has played exten-
sively in all the countries at diff
ferent times.
There is much less difference than
many people imagine in the tempera-
ment Of audiences. A play that is
soundly built and soundly acted will
not fail of its mark anywhere. While
tradition and variety OF circum-
stances have resulted in different
types of conduct in different parts
of the world, the impulses and per
ceptions underlying that conduct are
very much the same the world over.
What / mean is that real people
before the footlights recognize real
people behind them, and enjoy a play
in proportion, as the idea is intelli-
gently conveyed.
There is no more reason for an
actor having a one-track mind, than
there-is for a doctor. a lawyer or a
railroad man. We all know actors
who would be charming gentlemen
no matter what their calling. After
all, an. sctor-like an author, a
painter, or a composer-must have
an acute sympathy with the hopes
and ideals and weaknesses and, in
herent qualities Of mankind, and II
he is to speak TO them in a language
they understand, he must be intense
Iy interesting in things outside
himself"
