her strength into the second act.
There was a natural let down in
the third act but in the fourth Mrs

her emotion and her suferingS Of
Mother Goddaln.
l am glad that have seen both
Mrs. Carter and Florence Reed as
Mother Goddam. Both have differ
ent conceptions of the character be-
cause their method of creating the
character is different. Different
schools Of acting
1.-THE Shanghai Gesture" is really
dramatic monologue for the star
playing the chief role. The other
characters are merely background
or atmosphere for this cruel and
wicked woman.
Here is great and powerful acting
on the part of Mrs, Carter, a woman
who has meant much to the stage
and who still through all the years

have been kind to Mrs. Carter and
maybe she has been kind to them.
One of the real accomplishments
of this production was the work of
Frances Dale as Poppy. She was
splendid in the drunk scene in the
third act and splendidly dramatic in
her death scene when Mother God
dam strangles her with her hands.
Milton Byron made a good Zoo
Lot Foo, his makeup being especially
good. Mildred Hastings gets an
ovation when she appears in two
different roles.
Donald Woods is the Prince
Oshima and Douglas Wood is Sir
Guy Charters.
Here is thrilling theater, splendid

ferent than used by Florence Reed
but Casey has done wonders in the
four sets used, especially when one
considers the prices he is getting q.

One of the most difficult things

One of the finest dancing acts
that the Lyric has had in many

Smart conversation is handed out

The depression has spread to Park avenue, according to Joseph Granby, NEG actor of villain roles, who recently returned to the studios with a report of conditions along millionaire boulevard.
 q say. old fellow" spoke up a panhandler interrupting Granby's promenade, "could you spare $1.25 for bite to eat"

 To which the man answered that it wasn't "so much as l eat only in the best places"
 P, S. He didn't get the $1.25.
 A host of NEG Chicago radio stars, led by Paul Whiteman and his orchestra, staged an ambitious revue at the Edgewater Beach Hotel, Chicago, recently for the benefit of the Illinois Governors committee for unemployment relief.

Fringed Edges for Trimmings
BY MARY MARSHALL.

IT'S the simplest trimming in the
world and yet so absurdly easy to
achieve! Just fringed edges of the
L material neatly stitched into place.
You can make use of this trim
ming on a dress of wool crepe or one
of silk crepe with the satisfaction OF
knowing that you have the authority
of Paris behind you. Simply cut strips
of the material about one inch and
half wide and unravel at one side TO
obtain a fringe of about three-quarters
of an inch. If you are using the, fringe
at the edge of collar, peplum or cuff,
insert 1t between the outside piece and
the facing so that only the fringe
shows and then machine stitch along
the collar, peplum or cuff just above
the fringe This gives a neat finish
and incidentally keeps the fringe from
fraying.
If you use the fringe as trimming
on bodice or sleeve, cut the material
so that you will have an overlapping
section beneath which to insert the
strip of fringe.
If you are making wool crepe dress
by all means make use of this simple
trimming device and make a separate
scarf of the material edged with the
fringe. To make the scarf simply cut
two pieces of the material of desired
width and length. Basic the fringe to
the ends of one strip and stitch a
thread or two above the fringe, then
stitch one quarter of an inch from the
edge along the sides of the scarf. Turn
right side out, press and turn under
the ends of the scarf above the fringe
and stitch neatly down to the piece to
which the fringe is sewed. This sounds
rather complicated, but 1t is actually
quite a simple operation and one that
is sure to give satisfactory results If
you go about it with care and precision.
