Come as a celebrity or be yourself, the majority preferred to be themselves in white tie and evening frocks already with a hint of Spring. ‘With large cartoons and photographs hanging between the boxes of W, C, Pields, Mrs. Simpson, Leslie Howard and other prominent persons, the occasion | was & crowded one to be remembered for another two years, until the league chooses another date. The amateur talent possessed an authentic professional touch which 1t seems to owe to Charles Barry of the Civic Theater, who acted as announcer, and Bob Sweezey, who wrote the skit, “Everything Goes” ... and it certainly went! Two of last seasdn’s debutantes, monitors of Fleur and Dawn Magilicuddy, with red hair ribbons, short black velvet skirts and wads of chewing gum, turned out to be Marguerite Hagner and Emily Davis, who performed an excellent bit of acrobatic tap dancing which seemed to keep them conmtinuously assuming astonishing positions on terra Arma. The Magilicuddy sisters were immediately followed by Henry Turnipseed . . . “The One-Man Band” with a sazophome, who was none other than Johnny Reyburn, 3d, whose basso and soprano rendition of “Little Nell” was in keeping with the standards of any high-toned burlesque . . . then Mary Cootes and her brother Merritt Cootes in blue jeans and checked shirts. billed under “Emelene and Ebenezer,” rendered a soulful chant worthy of the Arizona Wranglers, about a “cowboy who only had three hairs upon his chest.” Mrs. William Kerkham repeated her croomer talents of two years ago, when as Bessie Gill, a debutante, she gave a rendition with Lieut. Sandy Stons of “She Started a Heat Wave,” this time as Dolores, in a hectic, floor-length green checked gingham with & matching feather boa and muff and a bird of paradise in her hair, she crooned over the attributes of “That Copper-colored Man of Mine.” The finale, a theme song in which the whole cast participated, led by Bessie, was an all-round sellout for a certain automobile. After the show, Mrs. John R. Williams, Miss Ahne Carter Greene, Capt. Bellinger, Col. Watson and Mr. Samuel Kauffmann, the committee for the awarding of prizes to the best costumes, adjourned to a throne-like position on the steps in the hall while the candidates passed by, including Mr. and Mrs. Charles Drayton as the Abe Lincolns, Ernest Schlatter of the Swiss Legation, a reincarnation of Lon Chaney in that unforgettable role in “The Phantom of the Opera”; Will Ryan in the ruffied jabot and velvet-collared cape of Franz Shubert; Mrs. John Selby as Mae West and Mrs. David Kare rick as Mary Queen of Scots in a lovely wine-colored costume and many others, The first prize was awarded to Olvia Stokes, who wore a regal red velvet gown procured from a distinguished source, portraying her royal highness, the Queen Mother of England. The whole get-up was startlingly natural. The second prize went to Susie Coolican, as Kathe arine Cornell in her colorful role in the “Wingless Victory” as a Malayan princess, which was so becoming we think she should continue to ape our great Duse. Charles Drayton, as Abe Lincoln, was awarded first prize for the men, and Seldon Chapin, as the Chinese god of war, Chang-ti, with his colorful suite including the Benjamin Thorons and Harry Chandler, received second prize. After all the awards, dancing continued and among the packed throng we glimpsed a large table for the Chilean Embassy, with the three Misses Trucco as hostesses; Carolyne Chantry, in black lace, was hostess to a large party of diplomats, including Miss Sibilla Skidelsky, Dr. Nemecek and Dr. Ramos; Martha Davidge and Stellita Stapleton, in capes of white for and ermine, were with Benjamin Plunket and Harold Fangboner; the Misses Aletha and Anne Harcourt, at a large table with Victor Sutro; Manniz Walker and Jean Conrad; Mrs. Gibsom Fahnestock’s box with a party of younger people; Miss Alice Wilkins, Miss Dorothy Sollers, Miss Rosalind Wright, William Turner all remaine ing until the end; Ruth Sowers as a “Garde Malade” which was most becoming; Dorothy Sowers as Katharine Hepburn in “Little Women”; Tommy Armat with Betty Beall; Neil Connor and Charles Ritchie of the Canadian Legation, in a bor; another large table with Mr. and Mrs. Daniel O'Donoghue; Pats Ridsdale in a copper-colored satin: Issy Perry in becoming blue, also Eddie Summers, Evey Walker and Dr. Frank Govern. it We could go on and on forever mentioning names. so we shall merely say that every one was there at the Mayflower last night!
