Over at Madame LAWNS
Madame Lanvin's collection, al
though coming at the end of . siren
uous three weeks attendance at
openings, proved all that was ex-
pected of this great artist. Although
she is known the world over as the
originator Of the modern "robe de
stylc," Madame Lanvin's creative
genius expresses itself in countless
charming and spring-like ensembles
which are synonymous Of perfect
taste. The novel feature Of her col.
lection lies in the use Of heavy
ottoman" which our grandmother
used to wear, and white shantunt,
alone or combined with some other
color, for summer frocks. @
Still another novelty is the creation
Of the "robe princesse" which is as
different from the robe de style %
is possible to imagine but preserving,
nevertheless, the slender silhoutte
and fluid line.

ELTINCE THEATRE

Peter B. Kyne's story of the CAL
ifornia Big Tree country, "The VAL
ley Of the Giants" comes to the
Eltinge for Friday and Saturday
with Milton Stills in the starring
role.
Kyne's great romance Of the Red
woods is ideal picture material, and
Milton Stills is the ideal artist to
portray the role Of Bryce Cardigan,
the son Of the blind timber baron
who bests his fathers bitter enemy
and saves his property.
"The Valley of the Giants" is a
virile, stirring story Of the West,
where mighty Redwoods rear their
branches 800 feet in. the air, and
life is rough and ready. There is
human conflict, romance, danger,
intrigue and suspense in the story,

Such Are His Contributions to
Spring Observation-Disclosures
ity Stamps Each of His 400
New Models
BY ROSETTE
NEA Fashion ExDerf

Paris, March 15.-Jean Patou has
the reputation among smart French
women Of being essentially Parisian
in his conception and creations Of
clothes, besides possessing that great
gift of imparting to them an air Of
great youthfulness, which, as VIC all
know. is the all-important point with
modern woman. His collections
therefore arc always awaited with
the keenest interest. as they never
fail to be replete with new and orig
inal ideas.
The Patou spring collection came
up to everyone's expectations and the
general opinion was that it would
be difficult matter to find anything
moro dainty and feminine than the
creations shown, At any rate as far
as afternoon and evening gowns are
concerned.
Four Hundred Models
To try and enumerate all the new
ideas which Jean Patou has put into
execution would be too lengthy q
matter, seeing that he has something
like four hundred models and that
each one of them is different! That
he has Gelvcd into the fashions of the
1905 for inspiration is evident in
his use of flources and the placing
of fuilress at the back of the skirt
these points, together with . nearly
normal wai5tl;ne. are sufficient in
themselves to cause much comment.
His three new colors arc unexpected
and brilliant, at least in the case Of
his English red and Jaranecc green,
and call for q great discrimination
in their wearing. His third color
which he calls "eRgshell white" can
not be described, but is meant to Dust
white. This color has a very small
part in his new collection.
Black and Navy Blue
Black and navy blue. on the other
hand, are very prominent. usually
combined with another color or with
a printed mater;al. White, pink OF
red seems to be the favored shade
used in conjunction with the above
and the color scheme is followed il
all the details OF the ensembles.
While he uses great number Of
noires, taffetas and faille, Patcu has
not neglected the ever popular crepe
satin, georgette, tul!e mousseline de
sole. crepe de chine and crepe ro'
main.
His sports dresses are very sirai.
lar to these Of last season. HAVING
attained the ideal line, both from
aesthetic rs we'll as practical points
OF view, Jean Patou deems rightly
that it would be foolish to try anl
change it. Tweeds in soft cclors-
beige, blue and gray - and wcoler
cashreres are used to . great extent
and the sweaters are made Of silk
wool or . mixture of both. He fea.
lures tie divided skirt in his sports
department to quite a large extent
and the fuller skirt has been adopted
for wear at all tiEacs.
Corded Silk For Afternoon
Another interesting feature Of
this collection is the afternoon suit
in corded silk with which is worn
what used to be known as q dressy
blouse. Some ct these suits have
. beige jacket, short and loosely
belted, worn with a black skirt and
beige blouse; another combination is
. black and white skirt worn with
. black jacket and vice versa. The
long coat is seen in . number of
variations-in printed material
