6 New York Smart Set Partial To Amateur Comedy Club Organ‘izat:on Which Scored Success in Presenta- tion of “The Nightingale™—Society Notables 3 in the Publig Eye. NEW YORK, February 14.—One of the organizations which occuples a place of high regard among the mem- bers of the smart set here is the Amateur Comedy Club, which scored such a success recently in the pres- entation of “The Nightingale.” The production ran for three nights in the auditorium of the Heckschier Founda- tion. It was a play In three parts, adapted from the fable by Hans Christian Andersen. The superb set- tings were a feature of the presenta- tion. For the 40 years that the club has been in existence [t has achieved many triumphs and has been the ve- hicle for the development of dramatic talent among society folks. For sev- eral vears after the founding of the organization it was confined to one- act farces. In April, 1888, it made a distinct advance in the production of “A Scrap of Paper,” followed in the next year by “London Assurance.” Miss Eiita Proctor Otis, who won commendation In both of these plays, later galned distinction on the pro- fessional stage. Stresxes Old-Time Hospitality. A leader of the inner circle of so- ciety who has retained the dignified ceremonials of the past is Mrs. Charles H. Senff, whose town home is at 16 Jlast Seventy-niuth street. A few days ago she entertained members of * the International Garden Club, ohe of the most exclusive organizations on this continent. Her reception was marked by that essential aristocratic tone which is lacking nowadays in the usual run of so-called society gatherings % Mrs. Senff is a ' rigid believer in old-fashioned hospitality, ‘but those to whom it i extended know how to appreciate it. Besides being one of the richest widows in soclety, she has what is known as the “grand manner,” and her appearance, white haired and strikingly patriclan, ie quite in keeping with the surround- inge. Many delightful parties are given at her extensive estate, Knoll- waed, at Syosett, Long Island, as well #s at her town home. Last Summer, while abroad, Mrs. Senff offered the use of her Long Island property to the Prince of Wales while he was a visitor in this section of the country. As previous arrangements had been completed, the British guest went to the villa of James A. Burden during the polo contests. With her wide acquaintanceship abroad, Mrs. Senff has been hostess to many representatives of the best known- -famflies in England. One season she occupied Invercauld Castle, in Scotland, where she was & neigh- bor ot King George and Queen Mary and the Duchess of Fife, during the shooting season. While in town, Mrs Senft attends’ some of the select gatherings, but. prefers to receive company in her own homes. She s the widow of Charles H. Senff, a relative of the - Havemeyers. who gained millions In the sugar industry. Carnegle-Rockefeller Engagement.
