This times it relateg to the pyschol- ogy of dress, a theory dear to the hearts of all modistes. But no one has been able to a2ctually demonstrate the theory so forcibly as the lovely Norma. Briefly it is that the clothes of 1922 are mot vastly different from those worn in 1820. And Norma ought to know, because there are about five hundred diffexent icos- tumes worn in ‘the gigantic produc- tion of “The Eternal Flame” in which she takeg the role of the duch- ess of Langeais. “The Eternal Flame’ is a first National _attraction: coming to. the Grand theatre Sunday and Monday. “LOVE IS AN AWFUL THING” ..
