An exact duplicate of a gown in
which Kathlyn Williams grandmoth
er danced the stately minuet in the
'70's, is worn by the Paramount play
er in Zane Grey's "Wanderer of the
Wasteland'
For years Miss Williams had been
awaiting a chance to wear her grand

in pictures of that period evaded her
until she was featured with Jack Holt
Noah Beery and Billie Dove in this Ir.
vim Willat production. opening at the
Grant-Lee Theatre on Thursday and
Friday
And then it was too late to wear
grandmother's cherished costume
Time and moths had ravaged the
fragile materials. So Miss Williams
had an exact duplicate of the gown
made by designers at the Paramount
West Coast Studio.
In this instance, even the dainty
tints of the gown are visible to screen
audiences for "Wanderer of the
Wasteland" is done entirely in color
the first picture of it's kind to be
shown on the screen. It's a gripping.

Russian Countess
At Hudson Theatre

A burlesque that will bring back to
the minds of many Bergen County

the maids of Merryland," which is
now winning new laurels at the Hud-
son Theatre, Lewis street and New
York avenue, Union HILL maids of
Merryland" can be seen at the Hud-
son twice daily, including Sunday.
The matinees are proving particularly
alluring, as lower prices prevail.
Besides, a chorus of sixteen beau
ties is Mile. Valeska, a Russian refu-
gee, who is a countess in her own
right in her own land-Russia. Mile.
Valeska, who is counted as one of

Dancing Mothers"
To Have Long Run

Edgar Selwyn's production OF

tionally successful New York engage.
ment. In this new comedy by Edgar
Selwyn and Edmund Goulding the
playwrights have stirred tremendous
discussion of the cause of unrest in
the American home. The story of
Dancing Mothers" contends that
mans selfishness and too great sure
ness of woman's continued love aft
er he has won her are the root of do
mestic infelicity. In it one sees what
may happen to such man, and also
learns that romance does not end for
woman before it ends for a
man. Woven into the pattern of an
adult romance is another lovethread
in the history of the debutante, and
the experiences likely to accrue from
the too great freedom accorded her
by modern society. AS presented by
Mary Young, Helen Hayes, Henry
Stephenson and John Halliday in the
four leading roles, and a large COM
pany of nineteen players, Dancing
Mothers" is easily the outstanding hit
of the new dramatic season in
New York and gives every promise of
a long run in the Maxine Elliott
Theatre.

Memorial Plans
Get a Setback

The Cliffside Park Memorial Com.
mittee, after a summer of plans, made
an attempt on Wednesday evening to
renew it's activities, but was baked
in taking any formal action because
of the lack of one more member to
constitute a quorum.
A meeting is called for Tuesday
evening, September 30, in the Borough
Hall, at 8:15 o'clock, and it is hoped
all members will make an effort to
attend, for if the borough is ever to
have a memorial, it will hae to be
decided upon now.
A last appeal is shortly to be made
to the citizens, and it will then be up
to them to decide finally whether this
town is to have it's memorial to honor
the young men who did their duty in
it's service.
The committee has put in long,
hard year of many meetings to con-
slider and work on this borough mat
ter and is now ready for reai accom-

miracle" Closes
In New York Nov. 8

"The Miracle" is now in its last
weeks at the Century Theatre, New
York. The opportunity is passing,
never again to return, for those who
live within easy distance of the me-
tropolis to see the most stupendous,
most beautiful, most thrilling and
most unanimously acclaimed spec
tacle which the American Theatre or

cess of $600,O00.00. Second, it enlists
an ensemble larger than any ever be-
fore known-a company of seven hun.

musicians and chorus. Third, it is
the first production to introduce to

inely international cast ever gathered
together for theatrical presentation,
with England, France, Italy, Russia.
Germany, Sweden, Austria, Hungary,
Japan and America, all generously
represented. Fifth, no production in
the history of the American theatre
has ever won such unanimous and un-
stinted praise from critics Of all kinds
and creeds in both newspapers and
magazines.
In order to enable that vaster pub
lie, which hesitated at last seasons
five dollar prices, to see "The Mir
acle" before it passed, never again to,
return, Mr.. Gest has inaugurated a
general reduction in the attendance.
