B.program at Keith's last week included a pretentious miniature revue, “Etchings .From Life,” staged by Howard and Clark. The first scene disclosed a giant phonograph, with a dancer twirling on its disc. Suddenly the doors flew open, and the 'two principals emerged—the materializa- tion of the singing which had gone before. IMiss Clark wore a striking gown creatiog of brilllant scarlet silk, the skirt heavily veiled with a fringe of self-color ostrich fronds, while large curled plumes formed a high choker collar, huge flaring cuffs and a plquant chapeau. The “Washington Square” scene in- troduced the inevitable wooden sol- dlers’ drill and the following one, “The Comcert,” was in the quaint spirit of Colonfal days. Three musi- cians, playing harp, violin and spinet, were costumed in bouffant panier gowns and colffed in fluffy white wigs, curied and beribboned. Then, in the center of the picture, Miss Clark appeared in a gorgeous crea- tion of rose taffeta, rashioneq with a tight little basque bodice and a vol- uminous skirt of sach exaggerated proportfons that the effoct was that of an exquisite boudolr lamp doll. Diminutive puffed sleeves added a pretty touch to the bodice, which tapered to a point at the center front, while large wreaths of vari-colored silk apples trimmed the ample lus- trous folds of the skirt In the Memories of the Past” scene, Miss Clark first appeared in an evening frock of pale pink chiffon entirely veiled by a silvery fringe of crystal beads. The bo less, and cut with a the skirt was long and narrow long dangling spray of wisteria was poised over one hip to add an ef- fective bit of trimming and color co trast, and Miss Clark's picture was of. a decper shade of wisteria to harmonize, while another cluster of the fragile blooms was placed under the brim, ming.

The company is a big one, comprising sixty people, among whom may be mentioned Greenlee and Drayton, Ger- trude Saunders, Irwin C.

Wana- maker's melodrama, “Thumbs Down,” that opens the season at Poll's to- night. “I am not setting myself up as a food censor or a censor of morals or anything of the kind,” Miss McMa- namy sald apologetically, “but I do think that most of' us eat too much, although ‘we are gradually getting over it. “People in the cities, I find, eat less than the inhabitants of smaller towns, who eat their breakfast at a certain time, have fits if they do not have their midday meal, which Is usually dinner and the heaviest meal of the day, and then another hot meal at night. “I don't know whether prohibition has had anything to do or mot with the rapld increase of tea and lunch- con rooms and their patronage b business men, but daily I notice more men eating & sandwich and a malted milk for luncheon, when a few years ago they would indulge in hot, heavy meals. Business women are D cally in the same categor: think dieting will aiways help reduce,” Miss McManamy replied to the question put to her, “but the thing to do is not to grow too stout in the first place. When asked what to do to reduce, Miss McManamy replied: “I am not a Beauty doctor, but fruit, coffee, black, if one can drink it o, and dry toast, are_sufficlent for any one's breakfast: a light luncheon, and then one good meal at night.” Arling Alcine, Managing Director.

A headdress of blue and ellow curled ostrich plumes, at tached to a nerrow bandeau: was &n effective complement to the gown. After a lightning change, Miss Clark: again entered In a picture frock of pink taffeta, fashioned with sleeve less basque bodice and bouffant flar- ing skirt revealing a foundation of lace below its hemline. Bands of lace insertion circleq the skirt at in- tervals, while a large chou of tur- quoise blue ribbon was poised at one slde of the corsage to add the final touch of trimming. The picture hat which completed the gown was also trimmed with a high ruching of blut | ribbon, while graceful ribbon stream- ers trafled over each side of the wide brim. The flnal scene, “Wedding of Loui XI.” presented Miss Clark in a gor- geous mediaeval bridal creation of fvory satin encrusted with pearls. Her towering headdress was trimmec with a shower of pearl strands which trailed at the back, suggesting the vell of today, and tha ensemble effect was truly regal.
