"EGYPTIAN" GAYETY REIGNS OVER BALL Annual Arts - Club Fancy Dress Affair Draws 2,000 | Merrymakers. The streets of Cairo, with a decided American flavor, cast a lurid light across Capital social life at the Willard Hotel last night when the Arts Club of Wash- Ington gave its annual costume ball. With nearly 2,000 persons in the gayest of costumes, gayest of spirits and in a setting suited to the humor of the com- pany, the ball will do down as being the most complete fancy dress affair seen here in years The Minister of Egypt and Ngme. Samy sat enthroned in the box of honor, which occupied the center of the side wall, and were delighted and amused at the American viewpoint of Egyptian art, though some of the really artistic features were secured through the courtesy of the Minister. Also lending distinction to the ball were the Minister of Persia, Mirza Davoud Phan Neftah, and the Minister of Panama and Senora de Alfaro, as well as representatives from the Turkish embassy and other embassies and legations. There was a revel in the streets of Cairo of diplomats, Senators and Rep- resentatives in Congress and other of- ficials and many society folk. But, of course, the artists of Washington and members of the Arts Club lent the chi charm, furnishing the real atmosphere for the party. Egyptian Setting for the Ball. The ballroom setting gave a rosy glow to an Egyptian street, the boxes and | lighting carrying out the idea, while the Caliph, Dr. Frederick V. Coville, in gorgeous raiment formed the center of attraction in the Egyptian Temple at the far end of the baliroom, the pillared edifice with its lofty entrance showing divans, hangings, low tables filled with brass and copper receptacles for use and ornament and over all a weird blue and rose color light. Guests were greeted on the baliroom floor with-a bit of desert life, presided over by L. M. Leisenring, with a snake charmer, a dancer, a camel which later did overtime on the bailroom floor, and many interesting features within the tent that added to the comfort of guests. Programs were dispansed with and guests were kept wondering as to the features to occupy the main street. Perhaps aside from genuinely artistic \‘lue. the American group doing a tour of, Cairo, furnished the most laughs. Seeing ourselves as others see us—in Egypt—was the snappy feature pre-| sented by the faculty and students of the Abbot School, and with field , , luggage of every kind, costumed for either mountain climbing or attend- ing grand opera, the entire skit was one of the best presented. The grand caliph arrived at 11 o'clock—Dr. - Coville, president of the Egyptian costumes and blowing their long silver trumpets, made way for him down the ballroom, six royal runners preceding him. The dignitaries of the court in grand attire ‘were in procession, as were street fol- lowers of every kind. The lone camel made his debut and carried precious freight, not only for the opening scene, but for the greater part of the evening, many whimsical guests enjoying the fun. The lusty “O wa, O wa,” furnished agreeable noise and atmosphere, Costumes Judged. ‘The judges awarded the first prize, that for the most beautiful costumes, to John A. Detweiler, who was dressed as Ramesis, in a gayly decorated panel- like gown and a gold headdress like a halo about his head and outlined his figure to below. the knees.. His com- panion was Miss Mary Scaife, who wore an authentic Egyptian costume of much beauty. second prize was given to Benors .de Prieto, wife of the military attache of the Cuban embassy, as hay- ‘was of gold full at the hips and tight about the ankles, a tight-fitting, coatlike, sleeve- less bodice which had a peplum cut circular and wired to stand out from the body. The whole was embroidered in gayly colored stones which formed wide bands, and her headdress was in keeping with the Egypt of that period. She carried a doll, a complete repro- duction of her own costume. ‘The third prize was awarded to Miss Margaret Russell Roller as being the most amusing, She appeared as a “tele- phone” doll, her bouffant skirt of flesh- color satin edged with lace and having panniers of pale blue satin, also edged with lace. Her bodice was tight fitting and had a vest of lace through which Miss Roller looked and breathed and spoke. The snow-white neck, shoulders and the dainty head topped with a ywdered wig perched where Miss Rol- Peol"l hat should have been. Her com- panion was F. C. Crass, who walked be- tween the pages of a giant telephone directly and constantly rang the tele- phone bell. Among the unusual costumes were those of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Thiss, he dressed in white, with a South African hat, and she appearing as & mummy. She was bound in natural color burlap, her face bound in white, and her case was of the burlap and labeled on the back “Prof. G. A. Reiser's Harvard Exposition.” Last Winter Mrs. Thiss won a prize by her costume of “A Bride and Bridegroom.” Mr. Thiss was the minister last year. Senora de Alafaro, wife of the Min- ister of Panama, wore a charming cos- tume of white made in flounces and over hoops. Each flounce had a narrow band of embroldery in black and was edged with a narrow ruffie of white. The - tight-fitting bodice had dropped shoulders and tiny litfle short sleeves, with several narrow ruffles, each edged with threads of black. On her head she had two narrow bands, which held large clusters of forget-me-nots over each ear. Capt. Frank McCarthy, U. S. A, ap- peared an Egyptian beggar, with greenish-black burlap hung from one shoulder, a large bulky bundle in burlap | hung from the other shoulder and an old, generous-brimmed soft hat was pulled down over one eye and ear, and his skin was a dark and swarthy red He carried a tambourine in which to drop the coin extracted by his begging. | “Old Crow” was there in a brown jug | and his name painted on a white label | across one side. The neck and stopper of the jug covered the head of Robert Fleming. Box Parties Added Luster.

A musical divertissement, with selec- tions including full symphonic orches- trations and_plano, violin and vocal solos, was offered last evening by the students and orchestra of the Insti- tute of Musical Art, at the Vermont Avenue Christian Church. Mos! of the soloists, as well as many of the mem- bers of the orchestra group, were quite youthful artists, showing fresh spirit and vitality, combined with whatever technical excellence each possessed in his own right. Beethoven's “Prometheus” overture, by the orchestra, under the baton of ning’s program. Strangly, though it was the opening number—and thus pardonable for any flaws it might show —this overture struck the reviewer as the most capably handled orchestration of the evening. with better balance of tone throughout than in either of the two later numbers. Another Beethoven selection—the “Sonata Pathetique”—was played with vigor, and a deft touch by Frances Griffin Villaret, pianist. She was fol- lowed by Flora Marguerite Clayton in two violin numbers, the last of which was Gardener's attractive “From the Canebrake.” Mortimer Davenport, €inging Han- del's “Oh, Sleep, Why Dost . Thou | Leave Me,” and two popular Schumann numbers, “Ich Grolle Nich,” and “Du Bist Wie Eine Blume,” displayed an ex- cellent natural voice, with true tone and easy placement, but far from ro- bust. It is much more important at his age that .Mr. Davenport cultivate his delivery and musicianship, as he appears to have done. There are al- ready too many powerful singers in the world, and far too few careful ones. “Du Bist Wie Eine Blume,” for its romantic feeling, was well, if quietly, sung. The orchestra’s renditicn of the alle- gro moderato and andante con moto, from “Schubert'’s Unfinished Sym. phony, lacked the co-ordination which the introductory number had. It was, | in passages, an absolutely lifeless thing, with a disconcerting lack of agreement among the various units, both as to tone and spirit. One of the most confident players on the evening's list was Victor George, who went at some of Sarasate’s gypsy alrs in no’ uncertain. terms, albeit with agile fingering and clever bow work. He was rewarded with the greatest ap- plause given any artist of the evening. Glenn B. Carow, a youth in knee trousers, had all the savoir faire he needed, in'addition to his technical interpretation of a Chopin-Liszt “Polish Song.” It was marked by good finger- ing and pedaling; the whole rendition | bespoke practice. Ida Willis Seaton followed with two numbers, rendered in a placid fashion, with occasional warm tones, The first selection was marked, toa, by the violin obbligato of Frieda Hauf Irwin, the or- | chestra's concert master. The second number was Schubert’s “The Young Nun,” an appealin gthing when given with' proper dramatic stress. The long singing ‘tones of the “Berceuse” from Massenet'’s “Jocelyn” were well brought out by Virginia Cure- ton in the succeeding violin selections. The second selection was one from Wieniawski. 'Dr. Christiani played the accompaniment excellently. The Verdi-Liszt “Rigoletto” para. phrase, played by Martin A. Dowd, easily marked the piano high peak of the eyening, strongly and colorfully given. Mr. Dowd, with Katherine Well played the evening’s accompaniments for the other artists. The orchestra’s rendition of a suite from the “Sigurd Jorsalfar” of *Grieg concluded the concert. It was marked by much more sympathy betwcen the several units of the group than was ap- parent in the Schubert work. CRASH LAID TO VICTIM. Prince Georges Jury Finds Autoist | Drove Through Gates. | Special Dispatch to The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., January 29.— A coroner’s jury, meeting in the Prince Georges County police courtroom here last night, returned a verdict that Ed- ward Williams, 22-year-old colored man of Washington, who was killed when his automobile was struck by an ex- press train on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad here late Thursday night, was driving his machine through the gates the crossing at the | time.

The building of a Washington to be | the world's most beautiful city was ex- | plained in detail, with more than 100 lantern slide illustrations, by Charles Moore, chairman of the Commission of Fine Arts, addressing delegations from more than 30 colleges and houses of study, in the final lecture of the Winter course at Catholic University last night. Mr. Moore was introduced by Dr. Edward A. Pace, vice rector of the university, as the one man who for more than 30 years has taken the lead- ing part in development of the Capital City, especially in bringing the modern situatlon into harmony with the orig- inal Washington-L'Enfant plan. He compared Washington's harmonious embellishment with the other great capitals of the world and showed that here the ideals of the historians, archi- tects, sculptors, landscape architects and city planners are being preserved as nowhere else in all the world. Background Traced. to arrange details for Lhe’ ‘The historic background of the Cap- |ital was traced by Mr. Moore with in- | teresting sidelights on the life of Washington, the founder. He pledged | early recreation of the house at Wake- | fleld in which Washington was born. | He showed the old world beauty spots that L’Enfant had in mind, the wealth of architecural and scenic beauty that was supplied in large part by Jefferson, who combed all civilization for such material, and out of this atmosphere the plans for the Federal City were laid.

Tllustrations Showed. A series of illustrations showed how these improvements through the Fed- eral building program, the Lincoln Memorial, the Arlington Memorial Bridge, Rock Creek and Potomac Park- way, the Capitol Plaza, the new muni- cipal center, the clearing away of the Botanic Gardens to make way for “Union Square” at the west front of the Capitol, are being carried forward, to culminate in a wonderful spectacle for the 200th anniversary of Washing- ton’s birth in 1932. Mr. Moore showed pictures of Trinity College Chapel, which he described as one of the most chastely beautiful and exquisite structures in the world; of the new Mullen Memorial Library at Catho- lic University and of the crypt and proposed superstructure of the National Shrine, being erected on the university campus—all of which, he said, are worthy to be placed among the most beautiful buildings which are giving character to the City of Washington. “MISS JUNE” ENGAGED. English Musical Comedy Actress to Wed Lord Invercylde. NEW YORK, January 29 (#).— “Miss June,” English musical comedy actress, yesterday announced her en- gagement to Lord Inverclyde of Lon- don.
