Annual Ball

COLLECTION of a Bohemian theme
- for the eleventh annual cos
tune ball of the Indianapolis Lit
tie Theatre has struck a unique
note in preparations for this years
affair, not only on the part of the
general committees, but of all those
who are selecting their costumes
and who are awaiting this annual
caper.
AT 9 o'clock Easter Monday night,
April l, the dancing will begin in
the Indiana ballroom, and at II
o'clock the gran march will be led
by Mr.. and Mrs. Robert S. Wild,
general chairmen Of the 1929 ball.
lie Bal Boheme," as the party
has been styled, will be a local ver-
sion of the annual art students ball,
which is a novel and long-heralded
event in the life of the Latin qaurter
of Paris.
For months in adavnce, students
and models of the various ateliers
carefully plan the creation of spec
tacles, tableaux and costumes, for
great rivalry exists among the
studios and prizes r presented to
the atelier creating the greatest
artistic and original effect.
Further than that, admission to
the scene of the ball depends on
whether the jury, composed of
painters and sculptors, passes on the
particular costume. If a guests out
mt does not measure up to the jury's
standards of beauty and art, the
student is turned down and shown
to an outer door, rather than to the
inner revelry.
