tirely Of students. affording practical
experience in all the teachings Of the

Mr.. Cochran, who presents the Ma
tional Theater Payers each year in

the need of dramatic instruction has
been felt In Washington for an appre-
ciable term. He says that innumerable
inquiries have been addressed to him
each year, tending to indicate that the
establishment of dramatic school un-
der Mr.. Brooke would be welcomed. He
points out that heretofore ambitious

the opportunity of essential training at

cant Importance Shat the proposed
school Is to be under the personal direc-
tion of Clifford Brooke. A keen student
of the drama in all its phases and one
of the foremost directors of the profess
sional stage, with wide European back
ground and extended experience in
directing many New York successes,
together with an impressive list Of
famous stars, Mr.. Brooke is an inter-
national figure in the world of dramatic
art.
Through his association with the Ma
tional Theater Players over term Of
years Mr.. Brooke has become widely
known in this city and widespread
appreciation of his talents is felt in
Washington.
During the course of his directing
activities in New York, where he has
been responsible for innumerable Bread
way success, Mr.. Brooke has directed
many of the foremost stars of the
American stage. Among them are John
Barrymore, Lionel Barrymore, Mrs.
Leslie Carter, Fay Banter, Jane Cowl
Chrystal Herne, o. P. Heggie, Claudette
Colbert, Leo GARLIC and the late John
Drew. Extending his activities in the

To come back to color: Tie styles of
1928 are going to feature blues In
every shade. The most daring of the
new things, says Banton, are in the
palest blue-a tone containing much
white. but trimmed with brilliant pur-
plish blue which makes dramauc con-
trast
The formal evening gown is no
longer of ankle length but tips the
floor and rests upon 1t fraction OF an
inch. Yet there are no trains. Bril-
liant reds are out-smart women Gus,
carded them for their wardrobes ana
the only place where bright red ap-
pears now is an occasional touch---a
dash to complement some neutral color
or tighten q dark ensemble.
Dark maroon Is still smart however,
and 1t Is being Saown in some OF the
newest models. For large cities, placK
will be sllpersmart for several months
vet, Pastels are being shown IN eve
ming frocks, but there Is a great les
sening of the white which has been a
prime favorite for so long now. When
It is shown it Is generally In combina-
ton with sable, blue fox or kolinsky
fur.
Gray will be the chic shade for
Spring. In places where the weather
Is fairly clement, gray Is the ideal
shad, at present. Gray In evening
frocks will hold good all through WIN
ter and on into the Summer months
those who can wear this trying shade
are especially fortunate because some
of the loveliest models are being Gre
ated in it. But the gray will be real
gray-not the gray SO full OF beige
tones which began this season, but ver-
liable gray and, so far, 1t is uncut with
other color tones.
Banton has lived in Paris. London,
New York and other cosmopolitan cen
ters. His frocks always create fu-
rore for they have originality, dash,
and a wearable quality which makes
the audience want to 60 out and do
likewise. The things he recently Gre
ate for Kay Francis in Trouble in
Paradise" caused no end OF dutter IN
the feminine audience.
He tells me Paris Is like pre-war days
People are not wearing formal evening
things very much, but the cocktail suit
dress with informal top. often sleeve
less and with matching coats seen
everywhere, developed in the costliest
materials Restaurants and dancing
places are running full blast. Most of
the old fayorite hauntS have been re-
decorated, Ciro's being very Hollywood
with green and rose-colored lights.
Gayety is expensive since nobody wants
to stay in any one place for the duration
of the evening and most parties visit 8
to 10 places in the course of night.
London, says Banton, is more chic
than Paris this year. The English
woman has come into her own so far as
styles are concerned, and there is
gayety there, more formal and very
chic, in the smart night places.
Banton grinned: Then came home
and found Hollywood full of night clubs
and all Of them doing rushing busi-
ness. The world picked up, of sud-
den; there is money somewhere and
talk Of depression seems to be forgot

Took Lilyan s Place.
KAY FRANCIS got her first film

KAY FRANCIS got her first film job
N because Lilyan Tashman couldn't
be two places at the same time.
Miss Francis arrived in Hollywood e
few years ago, comparatively unknown.
Work was hard to find.
But Lilyan Tashman was in demand,
Kay found. She was wanted for roles
in lots of pictures. Ultimately came a
day when Lilyan was wanted for two
roles in two separate pictures being
filmed at the same time. Kay recalled
her mathematics and assured herself
that Lilyan couldn't do that.
She hurried out and got herself the
role that Lilyan couldn't take and soon
was a star in her own right, so well
did she do. In Trouble in Paradise,
a screen adaptation of play by Laszlo
Aladar, Viennese playwright, she plays
the role of a wealthy widow whom
Miss Hopkins and Marshall, two super
crooks, choose as a victim.

r oLLYwoOD, Calf. November
l9.-Travis Banton, just re-
turned from flying trip to
Il Paris where he has been lining
up the trend of fashion for next
Spring and Summer-movieS work that
far ahead-has good and bad news for
the women of the world. Being an
optinist 1 shall tell the good news first.
1.-The clothes you now have that are
made along this Autumn's lines, Will pc
good style next Spring and even into
the summer. There will be little linear
change in the mode as it now stands, ="
says Travis Banton practically with the
Hrst breath he has had time to draw
since his retarn.
''If you have leg O. mutton sleeves
or any one Of the variants OF the full
sleeve mode-your dress Is pretty sure to
be rood for many months to come. II
YOU have evening gowns displaying an
amount Of bulk at the shoulders, you
are correct also If your things are
high-in-the-neck In front and as low
as the law will allow them in back that
Is okay.
"You don't have to buy woolen eve
ming gowns to be smart this season al
though several of the Paris coutouriers
are showing them; and the black broad
cloth evening frock Is an abomination
to my mind" (Banton knows his own
mind, by the way, and how'd
Neither does Banton like the straight
Victorian dress on the modern woman.
He does love the ironical take-off on
Victorianism which better suits the
woman of today and Is worn with de-
Ncious inconsistency by her. He thinks
the very wise woman will concentrate
more on the skirts of her new evening
frocks and follow natural body lines
at the shoulders If she wants her clothes
to be good style for a very long time.
Big sleeves crush very unpleasantly,
for one thing and women grow weary
of them soon, for another. But" he
slips this hint, that choked look in
front with plenty of shoulder and back
showing, Is going to be in demand
when the vogue for sleeves begins to
wane.''
Now for the bad news-and that
over, Wen go on the subject Of color
as Paris and London sees it:
Never have clothes been so extrava-
CANT as in this latter part Of our pc
riod of depression" Banton smiled
perplexedly. "I can't for the life of me
see how designers could allow them
selves to pile three and even four silver
foxes on coats-to make entire capes of
blue and silver foX-to weigh down the
hens of gowns with priceless pelts at
q time when the whole world is crying
that the wolf is at the door.
mo matter how inexpenSively you
have the new things copied, clothes
for daytime wear are very luxurious
and fragile and evening clothes are
expensive inasmuch as they carry fur
something they have not done for
years. Muffs have been added to the
general expense. And women are car
rying them, too. Not all in the modest
galyaks and krinmers and lamb, but
muffs of ermine, blue fox, chinchilla
and other rare pelts are seen every
where in London and Paris" he sighed:
There is money somewhere, if We but
