Now, however, it seems that some
one has been tipping OF the con-
stabulary to this obvious deception.
Their new perspicacity is long
overdue.
Sew Your Own.
Was it a whimsical thought?
Freddy Wittop did not think so as
he sat in his sartorial atelier pom
dering this and. that. Personally,
I, too, think it was a swell idea.
But first, as to Wittop: If you don't
know him as Wittop you may recog-
nide him as FREDERICK Rey, the
world-renowned Spanish" dancer.
At any rate, for present purposes he
is Freddy Wittop to you, young
Dutch designer of costumes with
not drop of Spanish blood in him.
Specifically he Is the artist who de-
signed the costumes for the George
Abbott musical comedy, BEAT the
Band" current at the Ambassador
Theater, and the "1ce-capades," now
touring the country.
Now, for the idea: Freddy was in
preliminary processes OF designing
costumes for these productions when
came the thought that in conse-
quence of war, women who had
never sewed in their lives probably
were learning this lost art, while
women formerly gifted with the
needle were engaged in recovering
their abandoned gift. Acting upon
this impression, a fortnight's re-
search, a la Gallup poll. disclosed
the extraordinary fact that a great
majority of housewives actually
were engaged in making their own
clothes.
Therefore, as to BEAT the Band"
and the ice show, why not create
costumes suitable for milady's day
and evening wear which women in
the audience could adapt to their
own use, rather than bizarre, ex-
otic, garishly colored ensembles not
only before their ability to copy but
beyond courage to wear them in
public? Lines attractive but simple;
cut entirely devoid of exaggeration;
shades which would not offend CEN
serious eyes at a suburban social
and yet not to be set down as drab
at theater or night club. Why not?
Why not, indeed? Thus inspired
by practical incentive, Wittop's new
output Of gowns, so I am told, is
exerting upon women that subtle

Songs and Dimples.
You can apply that to the movie
makers today-with certain qualifi-
cations deftly' policed by the pro-
ducers' association, popularly known
as the Hays Office. Hollywood has
made and still is making war pic
lures. but it has suddenly been made
conscious of the fact that there's
nothing a soldier would rather rest
his eye on than a pair Of pretty
knees. AS Of right now the trend
In picture making has winsomely
turned to songs and dinples.

instance, where the emphasis has
always been on Significant" pic

rious conditions, unrelated either to
sun or moon, such as paucity of new
scripts, unreadiness for Broadway
presentation of plays now on the
road and the vagaries Of producer
temperament have been responsible
for this indeterminate tide, this his
trionic vacuum.
Nonetheless. critical custodians of
the metropolitan theater have, in
thought at least, been preoccupied
with specific happening. 1t in
wolves the tardy recognition by our
civil authorities of a fact-long
known to almost every one else
that extreme vulgarity, encroaching
upon downright indecency, exists
here and there on the legitimate
stage. Action, so am told, impends
and, indeed, in the case of that
leprous Offering, Wine, Women and
Song" measures already have been
invoked.
Action Was Delayed.
Why, in the case of the above pro-
dufion, official attention was not
directed thereto until after a closing
notice-due to poor business the
preceding week-was posted back
stage last Sunday may not be said.
But opinion may be hazarded that
the Broadway dimout resulted in a
mental obfuscation on the part OF
our guardians of morals in degree so
great as to cause them to mistake a
$3.50 or S275 top as warrant of
impeccable virtue, whereas lower
price entertainment, honestly desig-
mated as burlesque, at once pro-
claimed itself as obscene and gener-
ally undesirable.
I would not know about that. But
I do know that the only difference
between the old burly shows, which
the police uprooted from obscure
and better-known corners of Man
haitian Island and Brooklyn, and
the more pretentious offerings of
Broadway lies in the fact that the
former were dismally vulgar, un-
innaginatively dirty, whereas the
latter, more strikingly investitured,
more deftly provocative in their
smut, more cleverly acted and more
artistically informed in engaging
music, exert an appeal all the more
pernicious because it is more subtle.
