Hart's Historic Picture. WILLIAM S. HART always hul many ardent admirers among screen actors and techuical people, and the announcement that he would again organize his own produttion unit after a two-year absence from the screen brought most of his for- mer assoclates back to him. Msny ware with him as early as 1914, when he made his debut in plctures. Among them Is Ethel Grey Terry, now play- ing the leading feminine role, Calam- 1ty Jane, a picturesque character. The new piayers chosen for their, resemblance to the historical char- acters in the story are Jack Gardner, who plays Bat Masterson; Carl Gerard, Willlam Dyer, Naida Carle and Leo Willis. The story opens in the White Hous where Hickok, as a famous Union spy, is . being thanked by Abraham Lin- coln for his services. He was then plain James Butler Hickok. It was out west some time later that he won the sobriquet of “Wild Bil Jilckok” hecause of his historically famous fight against nine outlaws, ail ofiwhom he killed. In addition to the figures of Lincoln and Gen. Sheridan, the ploturesque character of Gen. Custer adds historical Interest to the icture. The latter and Hickok were o attested by Elizabeth r book, “Tenting on lhe 'rm dramatlc sto d Kan., which has the picture will Hpeate commission,” composed of the greatest T“nmm that ever llved— Swha Bl Hickok, Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, Charlle Bassett and Biil Tighlman, Luke Short and Doc Hol- lday. "It Is'a matter of history that “wild Bill* Hiokok put away guns after relgning as marahal ot three Kani towns beca he had to kill 8o y bad men in the line of dut: Only at the demand of Bat Masterson did-he refil his holsters to help clean up Dodge City. The en- suing “fight of the vatar. Datre was the grestest gun fight known to T rsl Harte lmmnlllled Salomy .Ylna. but it has remained for Wil- liam 8. Hart to dig up the historical llcll necessary to immortalize Calam- ity Jane, the woman who loved ¥Wild Bill” Hickok. She lles buried beside him at Deadwood, where he was killed in 1876.

Colorful costumes of' many lands flashed across the stage at Keith's last week, in a miniature Russian re- vue. The Russian “Theater Grotesk” pre- sented comic peasant garbs, bizarre dancing creations, vivid patent leather and ollskin toy costumes and Holland frocks in rapld succession. Perhaps the loveliest gown was displayed by Mme, Julle Bekefl, in her whirlwind Spanish dance. It was a fanciful oreation of pale gold net, incrusted With flashing gold sequins in an in- tricate pattern that slmost entirel: concealed the filmy foundation. mantle of lustrous satin, ade deeper than the gold of the gown, was half thrown over it.and bran- dished during the dance In tarndor tashion. Alba Tiberio's costumes weu &8s nu- merous as her accomplishments, for she made & complete change for every hibition. The first gown Wi an evening model of bright red velvet brocade, with clusters of jet beads leaming ‘here and there. Then three rench colonial suits were: displayed in lightning succession, the first of copper-colored silk embroldered in sequins and trimmed with dainty flounces of lace; the second of red- and-gold brocade, with a fluffy jabot| of cream lace at the front, and the third of blue satin flecked with gold and lavishly trimmed with gold braid. These were. followed by a chic hunting costume of black velvet. with scarlet ailk facing on the wide sleeves and flaring jacket, and a saucy velvet “tam"” trimmed with long red stream- era. Next the versatile actress ap- peared in a stunning Spanish crea- tion, the fitted bodice of white satin brocaded in silver, and the bouffant crinoline skirt of white shadow lace. Three bright red roses added splashes of color to the filmy white back- ground, while a cluster of vivid flow- ers on the high lace mantilla gave the final touch of beauty to the cos- tume. An orlental garb of many-col- o quins was next displayed, fol- lowed by a gold brocade creation of Roman inspiration. The actress re- sponded to five curtain calls, and ap- peared in a different Spanish shawl for each, and the audience falrly held its breath, amazed at the rapidity with which she changed, chamelion- like, to every color of the rainbow. Ina Claire, in "The Awful Truth,” at the National, displayed several ex- uisite gowns from Jeanne Lanvin. he first was a dinner creation of pale golden-brown lace, effectively trimmed with a sash of old rose vel- vet. The dlaphanous blouse, which veiled a foundation of self-color satin, was sleeveless, and at the back the 1ight folds draped into a low round- ed “V." The skirt was caught up at the center front with a strap of lace, 80 that the hemline but an overskirt, also of lace, lengthened the skirt at each side, and brought it nearly to the floor at the back. The girdle was held up at the center by the same tab which draped the skirt, but ted down to each hip, and tled Tn & bouffant three-loop bow at one of them, the ends hanging well below the lace skirt hem. Miss Claire next appeared in an aft- ernoon creation of purple velvet with 0dd moyenne age sleeves of white dotted net. The bodice followed bas- ue lines, but extended a trifie below the hips. where a circular ruffe of velvet finished it. The skirt was straight and narrow, trimmed only by & small velvet ribbon bow, with streamers hanging to the floor.
