SOUTHERN SOCIETY PRESDENT'S HOST Reception at Willard in Honor of D. C. Commissioners. Notable Event. The Southern Society of Washing- ton was host to the President Mrs. Coolidge last night on the slon of its reception and enter ind maent at the Willard Hotel In honor of || the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. It was one of the few occ slons that President Coolidge h found it possible to accept an invita tlon to a soctal reception. Three things, however, persuaded the President to step from his usual . evening retirement. The first was his desire to pay his own co: the District Commissioners. were his personal frien. Southern Soclety and his sire to hear Charles Colfax Long's fa mous lecture on “The New Washing ton.” Missed Reception. The White House party did not reach the grand ballroom, where the entertainment was held, o'clock. As a result, ti reception entirely. ers had left the recefv gone to the presidenti: minutes earlier. The until nearly 11 o'clock and th dent and Mrs. Coolidge left immedi ately afterward. The President and Mr. Coolidge were preceded, upon their entrance into the ballroom, by the customary naval and miljtary aldes. Mrs. David H. Blalr walked with the President and Tecture Mr. Blalr, the president of the so- ciety and C. Bascom Slemp, former secretary to the President and a mem- ber of the sociéty, with Mrs. Coolidge. The First Lady was charming in a rose colored gown, set off by a rose metallic shawl. Ovation to President. In the box awalting them were Commissioner and Mrs. J. Franklin Bell, Commissioner and Mrs. Proctor L. Dougherty and Commissioner and Mrs. Sidney F. Tallaferro. The Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge were given an ovation, both upon their entrance and later when the lecturer threw their plotures on ths screen as part of his description of the White House and its present tenants. In the other boxes were many men- hers of the resident diplomatic corps, members of the Senate and House of Representatives, both from Southern and Northern States; officers of notable patriotic societies and well known members of the soctal sets from . Washington, Maryland and Virginia. Elsewhere in the big room more than 400 other persoms, including many of prominence, were seated. Mr. Long’s lecture was illustrated by what is declared to be probably the finest collection of views of the new Washington in existence. Time and again he was interrupted in his lecture by prolonged applause as some exceptional bit of photographic artis- try burst upon the screen, showing old and new citizens of Washington glimpses of familiar objects from entirely new angles. Pictures Were Beautiful. All of the plctures were beautifully colored, and the scenes they brought into the ballroom seemed to spring to life, so realistic were they. Whether heneath the phantom veil of the moonlight, the twilight of approaching dawn or the full-giory of noon, land- marks of long acquaintance were painted on the Screen with equal clear- ness and exceptional beauty. Mr. Long brought his audience to the National Capital by airplane and ve it a first view of the Capitol m the air. Then he ‘took his listeners on a tour of the familiat old building and presented it to them from entirely new angles. The Washington ' Monument, the White House, historic Pennsylvania avenue, the Treasury Lincoln Memorial, Corcoran Gall of Art, Arlington Amphitheater and the Botanic Garden, all seemed like bits of loveliness from an unknown New-Lower Prices On city when viewed through the artistic eves of Mr. Long's camera.
