Of talented principals with Bert
Lahr and Beatrice Lille away
out in front.
AS a matter of fact Bea Lille
is head over heels, and shoulders,
too, over the audience Cor she
comes soaring across the front
rows, seated on a moon and non
chalantly tossing away her gar
tiers. In grandpa's day Charmion
seated on a trapeze swung over
the bald heads distributing her
lingerie. Time marches on, and
fun runs in cycles. Like bonded
stuff it improves with age.
What makes the new revue dis
tinguished is the fact that most
of it's comely stems from live topl-
cal ideas, never once suggests the
routine black out skit.
Thus you will find during the
course of the two acts and %
scenes:
Pages from Shakespeare done
In Broadway swing time.
A satire on the Fred Astaire
dancing craze with a SeXtette OF
hoofing Astaires and Ginger
Rogers.
A Casanova ballet, so exquisite
" danced by Soloist Paul Haakon

cations.

burlesque on the creaking melo-
dramas of another day, set in the
ballet mood; and novelty ventri-
loqual bit in which Oracle Barrie

This is box score resume of a

been generously served with the

REVIVAL PLANNED
FOR WALL PAPER
Manufac cturers Aim at
Comeback and Will Stage
Show This Month.
sr ecis! Dispatch to The Star.

SVec1R1 olSpHtCn 10 ltlc Ctdi'
NEW YORK, July 18-Wall paper
is staging a comeback and the indus
try is planning to make real revival
of it. Sales of wall paper-after a
decade Of discouraging totals-have
increased more than so per cent since
1888. Revival of interest In houses
as homes and a desire to make them
livable are held responsible.
Sensing, in current sales and in So
cial trends, a revival of wall paper as
a fashion, the Wall Paper Institute,
comprising most of the wallpaper
manufacturers of the United States,
has scheduled for July q to 81 at the
Waldorf-Astoria, the first showing of
advance styles to which the public
will be admitted. The exposition will
be under the management of Roberts
Everett Associates.
Progress Is Recorded.
The years when fashion trends ran
counter to the use of wall paper have
been marked by the greatest progress
in production technique and consumer
education Non-fading papers. intro
duced around 1927. have long since
satisfied consumers as to their relia-
bility. Washable wall paper has been
perfected. Designers have come to
recognize the desirability of adapting
new patterns to known public tastes.
Creative artists have contrived new
ingenuity in applying high art stand
ards within those limits. Consumers
have become conscious Of the happy
effects of selecting wall paper with
proper regard for the individuality
of room and its primary furnishings.
The 1920s were characterized by
lack of interest in the home, accord
ing to those who have studied out
the reason why" of declining WALL
paper sales. In general. attention and
care were concentrated chiefly on the
extra room"-the family automobile
The emancipation of women from
household duties was paralleled by a
tendency to neglect the home. House.
hold furniture sales showed practi-
cally no increase during the years OF
greatest prosperity. Women's fash
ions were adapted to the out doors.
"vogue of Elegance"
When, in the late 1920s, fashion
writers called attention to a vogue
of elegance" the treatment of walls
emphasized costliness. Wall papers
economy initiated against its use by
fashion leaders.
Current social tendencies are be-
lieved to be the main factors respon-
sible for the revival of wall paper.
Among these are the renewed interest
in the home and the accent on liv-
ablenesS. Economy is another impor-
tant consideration. Moderation, by
way of reaction from the jazziness of
the l92os and the futile cropping for
novelty of the 1930s, is another factor
favoring preference for the honey
ness of wall paper.

Commodity Price

NEW YORK, July l8.-With splash

mates somewhat. commodity prices

period last year.
Although the Weather Bureau re-
ports rain was inadequate to relieve
the serious situation generally. the
parched Northwest-especially North
Dakota-had above-normal moisture

Market Readjustment.
Commodity experts attribute a part
of the price drop to a market read

swing of the previous month.
Recalling that farm staples scared

point out that technical setback

Heat continued to ravage large areas
In the farm belt, scorching some crops
and evaporating moisture from all of
them. Its effect, however, on many
| sources of the farmers income is not
important unless accompanied by dry
ness.
Corn. for instance, is hot weather
crop. Receiving its quota of moisture
corn will grow contentedly in temper
atures quite uncomfortable to humans
Cattle and the dairy industry are also
far less affected by heat than lack OF
water.
Corn prices shot ahead as the prin-
| clpal producers, Iowa. Indiana and Il
linois, became steadily more deficient
of moisture. Although observers agree
that the crop is not lost, rain is vitally
necessary.
The other farm staples lost ground
as profit-taking swept the market
places, including wheat, oats, rye and
cotton. The gain in corn was suffi-
GENTLY large to turn the index ul

NEW YORK. July 18.-Narrow price
