The evening gown sketched was Of
burnt orange satin. heavily brocaded
with silver. trimmed with huge
bow of orange tulle at the back. and
with single rose at the front. The
artist first draped the skirt in an
inimitable manner. then wound the
bodice around, and lastly added the
flower and the sash. He then demon
strated its practicability by remov-
ing 1t. intact. ready for sewing.
Another interesting model designed
was of orange and gold changea Bile
taffeta, combined with peacock blue
tulle. The yelling was used for
diminutive sleeves. and the ends were
tucked under the basque bodice and
drawn out at its lower edge to form
looDed panels on the skirt. The lat
ter was fashioned with four bouffant
loops at the hips. so that the effect
was that of quaint period frock.
A large blue flower at the front, with
trailing ends of gold ribbon added
the finishing touch. and a large pic
ture hat Of orange tulle and straw

His chief recreation after he became

American humorists and Shakespeare.

BY ELENORE DE WITT EBY.

THE feminine portion of Keith's au-
diences during the current week
has been fascinated by the act en-
titled Creations" and it may be sus-
pected that even the blase gentlemen
present "sit up and take notice"
when NJ AlphOnse Berg designs a
series of costumes, taking less than
two minutes for each one.
His fingers fly so swiftly as he un-
rolls the gorgeous materials, deftly
draping here and pinning there, that
it is doubtful whether milady could
go home and reproduce the gowns or
her dress form, but she may at least
receive 4 few helpful suggestions.
For instance. NJ. Berg demonstrated
how stunning evening gown might
be made from the piano cover by
simply winding it around bit, fas-
tening 1t and adding a panel and 4
train of sequin trimming.
He also created very practical
wedding gown, for the materials
could be taken apart after the cere-
-mony, to be remade as an attractive
dinner or evening frock. The foun-
dation was of white satin brocade
and length of it was allowed to fall

Director Alfred Green chose a tiny

In addition, they erected ware

In order to maintain this scenery

Helene Van Ende.

An engagement Of interest to musi-
4 clans and music lovers the cur
rent week will be the appearance Of
Miss Helene Van Ende. violinist. in
concert numbers at Moore's Rialto
Theater.
Miss Van Ende Is declared to be a
brilliant young artist. and the fact
that she intends making Washington
her home gives added interest to her
premier appearance here.
Miss Van Ende's advancement IN the
world of music, considering her youth
and the comparatively short time she
has been studying, is considered re-
markable. She began her studies in
Paris eleven years ago as pupil of
Suzanne Joachim-C -Chaig. daughter-in-
law of Joachim. and by 1915 her
talent was so developed that she be-
came a pupil under Louis Persinger,
concert master of the San Francisco
Symphony Orchestra. In 1913 Ysaye
accepted her In his master class. and
from that time she became one Of the
recognized leaders in the younger
school.
In the summer Of 1921 she attended
the Fonrainebleau School OF Music in
France, and after completing a course
there was awarded a medal for her
ability. She had previously won the
scholarship presented by Nine. Eph-
russ!, granddaughter of the composer
Meyerbeer. During the past summer
she was in Capet's master class and
won first prize on graduation.
