UNUSUAL FEATURES
PREDOMINATE AT
ENTIRE NOUS DANCE

One Of the r,err:est affairs Of the
Hallowe 'en season took place last
night, when the Entire Nous club
members held their Hallowe 'en
dance at the Ten Thousand club.
Decorations appropriate to the sea
son were cleverly. combined to fur
nish the setting for the event.
A mammoth jack o. lantern, some
five feet in diameter, grinned at
the dancers, and furnished the only
light for several Jack o. lantern
dances.
During the course of the grand
march, Hallowe 'en caps were dis
tributed, and partners for the next
dance found by matching numbers
on the caps. Another clever feature
was the drawing for partners by
matching playing cards from two
decks. Those receiving the jokers
were requested to give an exhibi-
ton dance, and Mrs. \. II. Keller
and James Schofield were forced
to comply with this order.
Still another novel stunt for part
ner selection was carried out by the
tax Of one dancing slipper which
was levied against the women mem
bers present. Men of the club then
drew the slippers, and each was
forced to find his Cinderella and
put on her shoe before the dance
could proceed.
Several Paul Jones numbers prov
ed popular.
Cider was served throughout the
evening. Thirty five couples were
present.

COAST CUTTERS
CREW BACK AFTER
FREE OCEAN TRIP

NEW YORK, Nov. 4-Saved from
a turbulent sea which had made a
toy of their little coast guard cut
ter the CG-l2S, the six members Of
its crew arrived here yesterday
aboard the Anchor line vessel Cam
eronIa after a voyage to Europe
which had not cost them a cent.
When, battered and almost I'M
conscious from submersion and ex-
posure, the se1tet had been hauled
To safety on October II, they pool
ed their finances and found total
or three dollars, And those three
dollars were still intact when they
put in an appearance at the barge
office today with new clothing and
the memories of week 5 rambles
about Glasgow.
The CG-l2s had been adrift for
three days i'll a storm Off Nantucket
when the Cameronia sighted it. For
IL hours the craft had been ship.
ping water and the motor was dead.
captain h, W. Smart Of the Cam
eroma decided that the sea was 80

ter's crew caught hold of a raft,
boarded it ana then were tossed
once more into the waters when q
mighty wave splashed them about
the snip. However, they all seiz.
ed lines and were pulled to safety.
Passengers aboard the Cameronia
stood along the promenade deck and
watched the rescue.
captain Smart carried the sextet
to Europe rather than risk trans.
ferring them to a New York bound
boat IN the fierce gale. Arriving
in Glasgow, they went to the office
of the American consul and were
given fresh clothing and enough
s,hillings to enable them to live IN
comfort until the Cameronia sailed
westward.

MODEST
censoring of Short Skirts in
Charleston Number Kills
Spirit of Cast

A spectacle of gay Paris" In
overalls and ankle-length skirts
was served to q disappointed
audience at the opening performances
Of the operetta Mile. Modiste" BY
the Neutrality-suspicious. last night, IN
the Central High School auditorium.
Seven Charleston dancers, whose
costumes were harshly censored by
the Community Center Department
and school officials, under whose
auspices the performance was
given, were withdrawn at the last
moment by Rollin Bond, director.
AS q stop-gap. lone dancer,
Miss Betty Mcmillan, former Wash
Ington school girl, tripped out on
the stage attirNd with Victorian
modesty, In long, long boomers and
q heavy. patent-ieather skirt. Handi-
capped by this axrnOr, she performed
q solo ballet.
The girls were hysterical from
the commotion caused by the
censorship of their costumes and
the resulting publicity" Mr.. Bond
explained, In apologizing to the
audience Tor withdrawal OF the
widely heralded Charleston number
They were in no condition to do
their best work, and called the
dance off. It viii not be put in
tomorrow nights performance.
Members of theN cast, supposed
to be attired in modern French
costumes, disregarded the edict OF
the Paris dressmakers that skirts
shall be shorter. oh, much shorter!
BY appearing In .ankle-length dress
es. There was not a shock for the
most puritAnical in the whole pro-
duction. In fact, to paraphrase
Shakespeare, There is more peril
in one r street than In twenty
of these shows
1t was the general opinion Of the
audience that the hastily appointed
censorship board had not only
covered up a multitude OF shins''
but had dampened the spirits Of the
entire cast. The dash and spirit
which characterize the usual
amateur production were noticeably
absent. The performance dragged
and intermissions lasted on and on.
The singing was good but the
pure painted Paris" failed to
sparkle.
The final performance Will be
given tomorrow night at SIS
o'clock at Central High School.
