. “Miss Marguerite Risser was a elarming “senorita” with American eas in “The Broken Wing.” BY ELENORE DE WITT EBY. DECIDEDLY Spanish atmosphere pervaded the local theaters last ~week, for in each of them there were senoritas and bandits, tambourines and castanets, high combs, floating veils and red-heeled slippers. We might even suspect that there was a dash of paprika in the love potion ad- ministered to the hero of “The Broken Wing” by Inez Villera, the little Spanish girl living in Mexico, but \“ g4 N Miss Irene Bordenmi appeared in a stunning Spanish costume at' Keith’s. laced at each side with gold ribbons and supported by a lattice work of woven ribbon strands. The skirt was composed of alternate sections. of gold cloth and ribbon openwork, which showed a foundation of rose silk, and at each side bows of rese ribbon gave just a suggestion of pan- niers, while the ribbon:ends fell in cascades to the skirt hem.

Miss Bardoni is noted for her stunning gowns, and she told the writer that she always designed them herself. It keeps her ver; usy, too, for when she entered the dressing room after her act she talked to the director about her entrance'on the stage, to her accompanist about the music, to her dressmaker about the draping of a ‘“ceinture” and to the writer about gowns, all at the same time and in two languages, which simply goes to prove that Miss Bor- doni is as wonderful off stage as she ‘'THE ' SUNDAY "STAR The Phonograph SALE that has set the town astir This is it---a carload at amazingly lowprices WE have just made the most. tremendous phonograph purchase of our history.

The mantilla, also of white lace, was held high at the back. by ‘a huge comb, and at one side of this a single red rose gave a brilliant dash of color to the snowy background. The gown was made with a tight basque bodice and a wide crinoline skirt in two flounces, each bordered with tulle.
