Famous Courtships.

HISTORY is filled with romance.
simply because the great charac-
ters of history. after all. were human
beings like the rest Of us. Their
loves and hates-particularly their
loves-haNn oftentimes changed the
destiny of nations. 1t was a byword
in European diplomacy that France
was for many years governed by
Pompadour AMI du Barry. and many
kingdom has fallen as a result of
the frown of some attractive woman.
Probably the most famous pair of
lovers in all time. since the memoir
able courtship of Adam and Eve, were
Romeo and Juliet, the tragic pair
whose story is told in every tongue
and whose happiness and despair has
been made the theme of the greatest
drama in the English language.
France presents Abelard and Heloise
as another famous pair of lovers. and
the ancient world gives US the classic
example of Antony and Cleopatra.
Paolo and Francesca have made their
names known wherever true love is
acclaimed. The same may be said of
Tristan and Iseult and of Pelleas and
Melisande. Perhaps one of the

Fashion Creations of STAGE

Cinderella girl in sally" first ap-
peared in apron and bonnet. for she
was merely a dishWasher at ALLEY
Inn" In the second act, however,
she impersonated a famous Russian
dancer. sumptuously gowned for the
role. Her wrap was OF vivid coral
velvet, the upper part draped like a
a short train. Fluffy fur dyed light
apricot shade, outlined the neck, con-
tinued down both sides of the front
opening and around the train, and
wore with the wrap gown Of
crystal mbroidered apricot chiffon
and carried an ostrich fan to match,
while her headdress was of high
coral plumes mounted on a bandeau
Of brilliants.
Miss Miller next appeared in a
lovely frock of white chiffon pro-
fusely dotted with vari-colored flow-
ers. The bodice was slightly bloused
and the sleeves were wide and flow
ing like those on japanese kimonos
and had long panels dripping from
them. The skirt was succession of
panels. some of which were nearly
hidden by the closely appliqued
flower trimming. while others were
decorated with only one or two bios
SONS. A wide silver sash, tied in
single loop at the side. added the
finishing touch.
In the final act q brief glimpse was
caught of the charming little actress
gowned as a bride. The white satin
wedding dress had a quaint basque
bodice and bouffant skirt rounded
into scallops at the lower edge and
bordered with double folds Of tulle,
while the bandeau for the coiffure
was Of massed lilies of the valley with a
misty tulle veil flowing from it.
Marie MorrelI, at keith's, appeared
in an evening gown of brocaded sill
YER cloth and crystal beads. The lus-
trous metal fabric was draped into
Il low wasted blouse and a skirt
which lifted perceptibly at one side
where the folds were held in place by
Il silver rosette. One side of the
model was opened the entire length
to reveal a camisole top of silver
cloth and skirt formed of successive
tiers of crystal beads. the lowest of
which dropped below the hem line of
the brocaded overdrapery. A wide
silver band on the hair was an ef-
fectiye accessory of the gown.

BY ELENoRE DE WITT EBY.

TULIA HOYT, who appeared as the
- heroine in The Red Hawk" a
play of the sixteenth century at the
Shubert-G -Garrick last week, displayed
several gorgeous medieval gown crea
tions. The first was of canary yellow
satin heavily brocaded in self-color
and trimmed with cleaning jewels.
The fitted basque bodice had a low
rounded neck and sleeves which were
tight to the elbow and then fiared in
circular folds to the wrists. The skirt
was voluminous and dropped to the
floor. where the ripping hem line
formed a graceful drapery. Gold
banding, studded with yellow and
neck in a rounded yoke pattern and
also circled the sleeves at the elbow
line and wreathcd itself about the
diminutive waist.
In the second act Miss Hoyt ap--
peared in a stunning creation of
green velvet and heavy mesh jeweled
gold lace. II was fashioned with a
velvet basque which tapered to a
point at the center front, and was
trimmed with dazzling jeweled fabric
appliqued in q bertha-like point be-
low the Florentine neck line. The
sleeves were of gold lace, fitted like
gloves above the elbows, then allowed
to flow loosely to the floor, revealing
an Inner inning OF rich cer1se velvet
The green velvet skirt extended in a
short train at the back, and had a
wide "N' slashed out at the front so
that a foundation of gold lace was
glimpsed below the rich green folds.
Perhaps the loveliest gown of all
was the wedding model of heavy
ivory-toned satin which Miss Hoyt
displayed in the final act. Cut on SINH
lar lines TO those above described, the
bodice had q low rounded neck and
medieval sleeves with long circular
fiounces dripping from them, while
the skirt was long and f1aring.
Bright gold brocade enriched the lus-
trous satin background, appearing as
an outline for the neck. and again as
a tight girdle at the waist, and the
combination of satin and metal was
exceptionally beautiful. An Imposing
high headdress of heavy mesh lace,
with a long veil sweeping from 1T.

TWO years ago, it Is claimed, there
l was a great hue and cry for
bigger and better pictures" The
critics wanted them. The censor
boards wanted them. The public
wanted them. The producers want
ed them. So they made bigger and
better pictures" They put a lot of
money into them-more than they
had ever put into pictures before.
The bigger and better pictures"
have excited lot Of comment. From
the critics there has been much in
the way of praise. But there are
people who ask, why do they charge
81 for them?"
OF course, the critics probably
don't pay for their seats. so they
don't have to worry about this. And
1t may be that the general public
was rather stampeded into wanting
"bis ger and better pictures" There
fore it has a right to know why
they cost 50 and why they are worth
il. But, most of all. it has a right
to know. Apparently it does not
know it yet that the 81 picture is
the producers answer to the demand
or DlSSeT anu anu DclteI pictures.
And now the producers are waiting
to see whether the public really
wants bigger and better pictures"
well enough to pay for them.
The one incontrovertible fact which
strikes the distinterested observer is
this: The Sc movie is claimed to be
breaking records from Maine to CAL
ifornia, and in every city, except
what theatrical men call dead
spots" it is doing "turn-away busi-
ness"
