PINK SILK TRAPPINGS PLAY
LEADING PART IN"ELTON CASE'
Yelled Woman of Influence
Chief Mystery of Drama at
Playhouse.

Who owned the pale rose kimono? 1t
lay seductively on a table during two
acts of The Elton Case" which George
ijrondhurst presented ut the Playhouse
on Saturday. The housekeeper said IL
belonged to her. Although she was by

she was SO plainly not of the pink silk

1t was Just before the fall of the curtain

know that the woman VINO owned the

lifted her veil and looked at the District

bridge player.
So important part do pink silk un-
derwear and enveloping motor wells play
in the administration OF justice in this
great city, But there were still more
shocking revelations of metropolitan life.
There was hostess with a reckless
brother who actually played bridge with
such stakes that she lost $1,000 and then
an additional $4,000, although she was
trying to win enough to pay up the
amount OF the youths peculations in
Wall Street.
There were various keys to the rapidly
succeeding Yale locks that protected
the famous card player from the in
trusive world. Various persons used
them. None was so unfortunate as the
heroine who. on her visit. picked up
pistol she thought unloaded. and the act
OF accidental justice happened. She had
shot in self defence. Her lover decided
that. even IL nobody else did. But her
peril was at an end the minute the gray
motor veil was sighted. In the face or
such overwhelming influence there could
be but one course for the local con-
stabulary. They took it and THE Elton
Case ended in happy oblivion.

MUSIC BOX THEATRE
OPENS NEXT MONDAY
New 100000 Playhouse
Novelty in Architecture.

Playgoers are promised many things
that are new and beautiful In theatre
architecture and equipment when the
new Music Box Theatre, which Sam II.
Harris has built in association with lr-
wing Berlin in West Forty-f1fth street,
throws open its doors to the public next
Monday night. The theatre. which has
been year in building. cost $1.ooo,Ooo.
The exterior of the house has pre-
served the Georgian character In lime-
stone, tending in scale toward the do
mestlc rather than the monumental. The
decoration Of the box office lobby has
been kept very simple. The walls are OF
marble, treated with q plaster cornice
at the ceiling with ornaments char
acteristic OF the Georgian period and en-
riched by two beautiful ceiling fixtures.
The main auditorium Is entered from
this lobby by way Of a foyer or stand
ing space in the rear of the seats. The
color scheme Of the auditorium Is an
tique ivory, glazed In soft green. and
the decorative design Is In the Georgian
period, carried out to the minutest detail.
The architect, c.. Howard Crane. has
succeeded In preserving the little theatre
atmosphere Of intimacy and individ-
uality. There are no frst floor boxes
and those on the second floor are htteo
with ornamental iron rails finished In
dull gray silver. An unusual feature Is
the stage curtain, which Is OF biege
color antique satin entirely covered with
crewel embroidery. The lighting fixtures
are Of Dutch brass with amber crystals.
The part OF the theatre below the first
floor. which is designed for the comfort
of the playgoers and called the lounge.
Is reached by a grand stairway. This
room is a reproduction Of an old Queen
Anne painted room. the walls finished
In antique apple green and the mould
ings In antique gold.
The Music Box will open with Mr..
Harris's production of Irving Berlin's
Music Box Revue" which has been
staged by Hassard Short. and which. 1t
Is announced, will depart in many re-
spects from the conventional standards
OF such entertainment

Dickson, dancer. who had hardly had a
speaking part before. danced and spoke
and sang her way to one of the seasons
biggest hits In sally" produced at the
Winter Garden by Grossmith and Ma
lone. aided by Jack Haskell.
It was a typical London first night.
with old friends prepared to bring down
the house for Leslie Hanson. George
Grossmith and other favorites. But the
little American dancer. almost a stranger
to London, literally stole the show.
'Sally's' New York local hits were
naturalized for the British. and Henson
juggled with them In his own inimitable
fashion. but SO great was Miss Dicleson's
hit that when she twice lost her slipper
In a ballet scene and was forced to stop
dancing, the audience checred her TO the
echo. To-day this Illinois girl, whose
voice was hitherto unknown to London.
Is hailed as real star.
