GIRL ABOUT
TOWN
BIZ MARuYN-

Bliss. as firmly intend to, she got
herself matrimonially involved
Saturday morning with Mr.. Herbert
Duckwall. She used to be hostess
at the Columbia Club and wear
quite the smartest clothes on the
Circle. Shortly after the ceremony
they left by motor for Miami where
Mr.. DuckwalPs yacht is waiting to
take them on three months
honeymoon, which is practically
anybody's idea of a honeymoon.
Mrs. Duckwall wore a tan ensemble
with a small tan hat and swanky
camelshair coat.
The whole Bookwalter menage
has been agog with doorbells, tele-
phone calls, dresSmakers, fittings,
shopping and what-not because not
only did Eleanor step OFF Saturday
but Mrs. Bookwalter left for Florida
Monday to recuperate. And Mary
Bookwalter Jennings is moving from
her old apartment into the new Ad-
miral Tuesday.
Mrs. Fred Boone is the very first
tenant in the Admiral. That lone
light you see as you drive up Meri-
dian street at night is Pats home
fire. kept burning.
And they do say as how Johnny
Ruckelshaus is taking his new bride
there in April, and Irving Fauvre
has been casting an inquiring eye
about in behalf of Miss Mildred
Clizbe whom he will bring here to
live as Mrs. Irving Fauvre before
long. So it promises to be quite
congenial neighhorhood.
Il y
Well, as long as it needs must be
IbSen, 'tWere well it were done as
well as it possibly could be done as
Macbeth said when he killed some
body or other. And 1.-THE Wild
Duck" was as well done, think, as
THE Wild Duck could be done and
you're all wet if you think I think
that's a pun. / seem to have to
have these periods of frightful in
volvedness every so often, but you've
no idea how it clears the air. I'm
coherent for days afterwards.
Mrs. Bill Wagner as Gina did
fine bit of interpretation. She GER
taiilly is a promising addition to our
Little Theatre material. Her re-
strained acting of the almost mar
ticulate wife Of Hialmars EkdaI be-
spoke her professional training. Bob
Wilde gave restrained Gregers
Werle which made nice contrast
for the bombastic figure of HAL
mars, portrayed by George Sommes
himself. He wore pertentuous red
wig and wiSkers and Swanked about
most enjoyably.
Some of the minor characters
we're especially well portrayed-Mrs
Sorby by Mrs. Grace Clarke Pierce
and Chamberlain KasperSen by
| Walker WinslNw. Garvin BaStian
added the same decorative note to
the first acts dinner party as he
does to many of the towns dinner
parties.
OF conlings and goings, Mrs. H.
c. Gilchrist left today to visit her
daughter, Mrs. William Airing, in
Scarsdale, N. Y, for a few weeks.
Mrs. Melville Cohn has gone for
two months trip to Florida Mrs.
Meier Block is in New York.

Notes of Importance on ones So
cial calendar are the meeting of
the Contemporary Club Monday at
the Masonic temple and the Chris
tamore cabaret at Hotel SEVERN,
Feb. 9. The Contemporary Club is
bringing Cornelia Otis Skinner here
for recitations in which I've heard
it rurnored she is nearly as good as
Ruth Draper.
The Christamore Aid Society
party sounds like an epoch-making
event, what with Elder Blackledge
in black magic and message from
Houdini, fashion show of the gay
nineties proving that women at one
time did wear clothes, and Eleanor
Blain doing ''Blues" in a way to
make Harlem white with envy. Mrs.
Robert A. Adams is in charge of
reservations.
