COMEDY AND MUSIC
IN THE GAYETY SHOW

to Washingtonians.


Three personalities will stand out
in your memory after a visit to
"Frolics," at the Gayety this week
three burlesque favorites in their re-
spective fields-Ann Corio, Minnie
Mae Moore and George Broadhurst,
providing beauty, music and comedy.
Gracious and beautiful Miss Corio
is. perhaps the best liked Of the bur-
lesque speciality artists, and no one
who knows her will need urging to
see her again.
Minnie Mae Moore has the best
voice in burlesque. Her clear mezzo-
contralto does things to a song which
too many people try to do and cannot.
After the beauty and the music we
come to the comedy, which means
Mr. Broadhurst. Any one who has
seen George Broadhurst's cafe scene
will be at the Gayety this week to
see George Broadhurst's cafe scene, If
for no other reason. There are plenty
of comedians, but none has the stellar
ability of Broadhurst. Yesterday he
received the greatest round of ap-
plause heard in the Ninth street thea
ter since its opening this Fall.
Jackie Devine, titian-haired and
charming: Dawn Delees, Miss Cleve-

The materials which have inspired
these frocks include silk net, chiffon,
organZa, lace, starched marquisette
and the new Summer velvets.
Mature women, too, with fashion,
able inclinations, are giving their in
dorsement to the ruf1ed type of gown.
They find comfort in the widened
hemline, and find that the softness
at the shoulders and throat takes
years away from their appearance.
Usually they choose black chiffon
and ruffle it with lace; or have the
entire gown Of lace. Interesting band
ings have come into existence with
the rage for the bouffant. One that
is being seen on very expensive gowns
is lace-incrusted with silver spangles.
Others feature small rhineStOneS or
oddly-shaped spangles of jet.
La ieunne file chooses for her eve
ming frock with ruf1es one that re-
fleets on it's soft colorings, the deli
cate tints of her skin, her hair or

els of the multi-colored variety. Her
earrings may be very long, indeed,
and the bracelets she elects to wear
may reach from her elbow to her
wrists, so lavish and liberal have we
become in our choice of adornment
If she is in the subdeb class, she

chenilles, rabbits hairs, and zephyrs
woven in checks, diagonals and mix
lures that look like English tweeds,
brings a lively interest to a medium
that gives promise of developing into
an au-year-around favorite.
Evening gowns, glimpsed at many
OF the recent smart evening affairs,
appear to be divided into two schools
the tailored and the beflounced.
While the former silhouette is the
smartest evening line in Paris, one has
to have slender lines and graceful
curves to wear it, and strength
throughout the evening to live up to
the demanding formality of its severe
cut.
Gowns of this type are made in
heavy crepes, stiff satins and smooth
artificial silks. Their trimmings are
rich and concentrated. Ornate band
mgs, glistening like jewels, are used
with discretion at the hipline, sleeve
tops and wrists Usually the neck is
cut in bateau fashion, which, linked
with the long, tight sleeves, coming
we'll over the hand, harks back to
the styles of the Middle Ages. In
confirmation of the authenticity OF
the vogue for long sleeves, a smart
woman was heard to observe at re-
cent ball, THE more formal the oc-
casion, the longer the sleeves"
Seen in juxtaposition with these
beautifully severe gowns, are the soft,
fluffy ones of delicate fabrics that
are so becoming to the less robust
type of woman who is apt to show

their own way, play an important part
in contributing an ensemble effect to
the evening costume. Though iden-
tical matching is not considered as
smart this season as it once was, we
find many cases where the wrap re-
peats the color and some detailed
treatment of the frock.
The jacket is considered favorite
Just now, and Is often made more
formal by cuffs and collars of fiat
tering furs. Capes are being looked
upon as an important evening acces-
sorry. Usually they are made in the
same color as the gown, but not the
same material.
Scarfs have never been more popu-
lar. Many of the latest ones are long,
graceful and animated. In some
cases they are fur trimmed. They
may be the same color as the dress
or in vivid contrast. Always they
are fattering and offer opportunities
for self-expression.
One of the most interesting fabric
developments of this season is found
in the washable Summer velvets that
will lend their supple beauty to sports
jackets, skirts, suits, as well as fanci-
full afternoon frocks, and evening
gowns more glorious than anything
we have ever seen.
These new velvets are light In
weight and the sturdier types COM
pare in texture with materials usually
worn in the Summer season. In weav-
ing them, cotton as well a. rayon
has been used.

rust, or any of the vivid Mexican
colors.
One of the most exclusive combina-
tions is Wedgewood and maze. Usually
the suit proper is of the blue, with
the maze blouse showing only sparing-
ly at the open front of the jacket.
Black suits are formalized by the
iudicious use of angora, which is some
times seen in a clever collar and
matching cuffs, or in the alternate
stripes Of waist, as in the rather
formal, two-piece frock sketched.
Pink, in all it's varying shades, from

of it, knitted in rather open stitch.
that contrasts definitely with the solid
pattern of the suit.
Aquatone, or, as some call it,
turquoise, is slated for late Spring and
Summer popularity. In many instances,
it is combined with a great deal of
lacy white. in which a touch of the
turquoise has been interviewer in an
occasional DOT or stripe. The latter
design has been carried out in the
suit sketched at the right of the page.
The new and fascinating use of
several different patterns and weaves
in one costume is perhaps more re-
sponsible than any other thing in
bringing about the new popularity of
knitted suits
The dropping of old-fashioned knit
ting standards and, the refreshing
