"A STUDY IN CONTRAST" at
Keith's offered a number OF
strikingly beautiful gowns displayed
by two lovely models--one a blond
the other a brunette. The opening
song introduced the blond, Frances
Williams. in shaded lavender chiffon,
and the dark beauty, Jean Vannessi, in
blended tones of yellow. The laven-
der frock was draped over a founda-
ton of vivid fuchsia. revealed in sud
den flashes when the dancer whirled
quickly across the stage. The bodice.
OF artfully folded scarfs, shaded from
palest orchid to lilac. while the
draped skirt repeated these delicate
pastel shades. long, dangling clus-
ter Of wistaria placed over one hip
added the final touch of beauty to
the gown.
The yellow frock shaded from a
pale lemon hue to bright canary and
was draped over slip OF vivid
orange. 1t followed the same lines
as the orchid model, but a slender
girdle of gold ribbon made il Just a
little bit different. Shaded yellow and
gold flowers dropped from the girdIe
at one side. adding the finishing
touch. A diaphanous cape of pale
yellow banded at neck and hem line
with fluffy white marabou was flung
over the frock for a brief moment be-
fore the dancer left the stage,
Miss Williams second appearance
was in stunning evening creation of
black crepe satin heavily beaded in
sequins. The bodice was almost en-
tirely covered with sparkling black
jewels. while the wide circular skirt
was embroidered with occasional Sc
quin motifs. A border of black tulle
several inches in width followed the
hem line. bringing 1t to the floor. but
slippers OF orchid satin were glimpsed
through the transparent yelling. A
crushed sash Of pale orchid satin
eiaborately brocaded Ia a darker,
almost purple, tone was both unusual
and effective on the jeweled back
ground of the gown.

she has ever had, and F. Richard
Jones, production manager of the

Miss Normand says: 1T Is a new

vivacious. 1t never strays far from
the sympathetic. 1t is the part 1
