AMUSE Juliets Ready To Give Stage Great Revival Miss Cornell and Miss Le Gallienne to Tour Country in Role. STARS TO AVOID Coming Season to Provide Versions of Classic for N Shakespeare’s tragic young hero- ine will be seen in practically every hamlet and farm. This is exciting news, inasmuch as two of our first ladies of the theater are the cause for it. Katharine Cornell, released from Sidney Howard's drama of a nightingale starving in our West- ern wheatlands, “Alien Corn,” will start on her repertory program in the Fall; and Eva LeGallienne will do the same. According to word received this morn- ing from the indefatigable Ray Hender- son, “out of her great regard for the mims and achievements of Eva LeGal- lenne, who is also to include ‘Romeo and Juliet’ in her repertory on the road this Fall, Miss Cornell has arranged her own route so that there will be no clash in dates with Miss LeGallienne, who is announced to open her season on the Atlantic Coast in October, while Miss Cornell, beginning late in November in Buffalo, will go directly to the Midwest and Pacific Coast. The few cities where both actresses appear are so booked that there will be an interval of one to three months between the two Juliets.” Without meaning to be selfish, we hope that Washington gets both Juliets, whether they come within a year or week of each other. Miss LeGallienne’s characterization is, of course, well known. But this is, vulgarly speaking, Miss Cornell's “first crack at her,” and it would do little harm to set one| @ctress up against the other. The matter, though, of the tour is| something new in theater “politesse.” A definite impetus to get out of each| other’s way and not to outdo each other in this little game is a matter of re- straint and sincere regard for each other. How easy, for instance, for one of them to hog & theater the week be- Jore the other arrives and squeeze dry whatever cash customers there are in town. How easy for each to claim, that she is “the greatest Juliet of all time” (which, of course, both of them will be called by some reviewer before the season is over). How easy for them to snarl and growl and throw bricks at each other, while Romeo climbs the festive balcony. Instead, however, they will pick their routes carefully—and managers on both sides of the fence will see what can be done so that most towns get but one Juliet This is legitimate care —but in this case somewhat ground- less—inasmuch as these two ladies are 80 great in their own rights that they could play “Camille” right next door to each other and still do plenty of business. In fact, Miss Cornell and Miss Le Gallienne are the two bright angels of the stage at the moment—the out- standing revivers of the “road’—the greatest boosters of the theater in the “provinces.” While other producers | moan and bow their heads, these stanch supporters of the theater, who any day of the week can make money on Broadway, pack up their belongings and shove off into the hinterlands to prove that all is not dead west or north or south of the “Great White Way.” They do this at a time when it would be much more comfortable and much more profitable to stick close to the home plate. Like Miss Barrymore, Thowever, they must off to the sticks and play their little play to the pipes of the multitude in the wilderness. All of which goes to prove how fond they are of their theater—and how fond the theater is of them. * k * % 15 ‘HE Loew people are having a fearful time trying to figure out whether their advertisements should read, sLoew’s leads in Washington,” or| “Loew’s lead in Washington.” You see they have three theaters—and in spite of the distinct singular aspect of Loew, they feel that with three theaters in the air there should be something | plural about it. It took two gram- marians, the Webster dictionary and a couple of board meetings to settle the matter. BY E. de S. MELCHER. EXT season will witness the greatest revival of Juliets since the fload.

It made a darting circle o1 thin light on the stone floor of the landing. There was no sign of a struggle. but I could have expected none. There were no muddy footprints, for there was no mud; everything in Armene was dry and cold and wind-swept. There were no cigar ashes. There were no coat buttons. There was nothing but a dark blotch, quite small, where the dead man had huddled. I bent close to the worn stone and looked and looked, turning my flash- light here and there, and eventually I did discover a small red piece of what looked like hard rubber or very hard wax. It was rough and {rregularly semi-circular and about the size of a half-dollar. It bore no faint resem- blance to any kind of clue. I put it in my pocket merely because it was the only thing except the dark patch on the stone and a dry brown leaf that the landing held. It was just at that second that there was a sudden lull in the wind; every- thing, shadows and shrubbery and rat- tling windows. fell into dead quiet, and I heard an unguarded step on the stair- way below me. It wasn't any sound but a step; I knew that perfectly. and I daresay if the wind had not lulled just at that in- stant I should not be alive now. But I heard it and moved to one side 1n order to look over the curve of the rail- ing. And at that very instant there were two sharp cracks of a revolver, my flashlight spun in my hand and thudded somewhere below, the wind swooped down upon the courtyard with a crash, and every light in the hotel went out. My hand tingled, but wasn't hurt. There was no sound but the hurling of the wind, and I found myself run- ning down the stairway, holding to the railing. There was no excuse for i, but that is what I did. way. If it was Lovschiem who had shot at me—and I thought it possible—he would probably either follow me to finish the job or seek to re-enter the hotel himself.

The boa The coachman’s coat is of garnet velvet with a boa of velvet There was a frock to accompany was placed about the shoulders of the frock when the coat was removed. Every one of the girls may as well practice wearing one of those long trains right now. Claudette Colbert showed every one how to kick aside, and yet seem not to kick aside, a yard-long train which terminated a fascinating hostess gown of black velvet. Sequins and beads were heavily massed about the throat and the ends of the long, black velvet sleeves. Helen Vinson's trailing frock of pale pink crepe and strass beading was a problem for the graceful Winter girl. The cape, which topped this charming costume, was of pink satin and also trailed the ground. Flattering feathers undoubtedly will crowd fur off the bills this Winter. Adrienne Ames is ideal for the gown | with ostrich accents. A white one in- cludes a crepe frock and hip-line cape and muff in white ostrich. Which re- minded me of the time Norma Shearer went to a premiere in a like costume and adoring fans plucked her as clean as a moulting snowbird. Your shoulders will go right on and on—out, this Fall. So Travis Banton has made a beige wool street suit, which Helen Vinson modeled, which accentu- ates the shoulder more even than the things of last year. Puffed sleeves of mink had pleated epaulets of the.wool extending far over them. The most amazing costume of the day was worn by Carole Lombard. Of chalk white crepe, it was noticeable for its cut and for its slashing girdle of myriad tiny mirrors. 3 voluminous cape of the chalk crepe SWESF' away from the shoulders and trailed the floor. | Eel gray, one of the new colors which |is neatly cast in somewhere between gray and brown, was also dlsghyefl by the Lombard in a dress with myriad tiny flounces and intricately worked ties, while the chiffon swagger coat was weighted down with blue fox. Lilyan Tashman displayed a sensa- | tional and amusing frock. It was ac- complished from a series of blue and white obi sashdu. A cape of white ;pxque. which tied about the waist with | red sashes, covered the shoulders; the hat, which was as big as a cartwheel, !wss of navy taffeta and extended be- | yond the shoulders. Another sensation was the Arab cape | of white, worn by Lilyan Tashman. It slips over the head, falls to the elbows at the front and to the ground at the ‘buck.
