In its won- derful variety of interesting subjects the new program which Howe is pre- senting records our present day civils ization as nothing else can. It.sat- isfies completely that instinct in us, | which desires knowledge and an es- cape from the routine of daily duties. It depicts earth’s wonders and the high tide of life ' surging through great cities and the marts of trade. The new program has its intense moments such as are imparted by'a ride on a runaway train, which in it- self ig exciting enough, but the thrilis are intensified and made more thril- ling by means of those realistic *ef- fects” which always distinguished Howe's exhibitions from all - others. Some of the mysteriés of Nature's han@iwork are revealed in a series showing the growth of plants and the development of flowers from bud to blossom. The manifestations of sci- ence and chemistry are also shown in a film depicting the electrolysis of metals and the fantastic formations created by the process. Real travel experiences are provided by a trip to ever enchanting Venice during which® Howe travelers will glide up and down the canals and see the quaint city under the wizardry of superb color effects at sunset and by moonlight. A rallroad ride through Greece, bird studies in the colors of 'nature, and entirely new animated cartoons are some of the other features.

Their introduction at Keeney’s | Passage of Fashion’s Vagaries Only Thing That Will (By Ann Simonton in New York Tri- bune.) “The corsét must go!” Beatrice Forbes-Robertson Hale, in quite the voice of old California crying ‘The Chinese must go!” has said it. “The corset must go. It is already on its way. Its retreat in these last vears from woman’s ribs has heen no strate- gic ruse of faghion. It is a permanent omen that the narrowed heart and compressed lungs of the belles of past } decades excite our horrer in remem- brance. But freedom is not . here. The corsct still is tyrannous. Its un- natural stiff confinement of the hips forestalls all chance of the long limbhed swinging walk that is the walk of beauty.”” The consolation of a corsetless fu- ture for the feminists who are to come into possession of the feedom of their bedies is the elustic abdominal band. That and that alone. Clothes Fundamental Barrier. “Clothes,” says Mrs. Hale, who em- barks ths fall on a lecture tour on health and beauty, “are the fundamen- tal barrier before the emancipation of women. The vote, almest, might rest whero it is. But nothing real will ever happen to make women free agents ex- cept passage of thé vagaries of skirts that play with' us, confining our feet to a twenty-four in slavery one vear and hanging eight yards of cloth from our waists the next, and an end of the bondage of the shoes that are the mode on Fifth Avenue today, ! “Dress reform,” says Mrs. Hale, “is The other disadvantages that women live under can he met by the changing spitit of women. interfere with her work. But clothes— they are always with her, irrational. uncomfortable, lining. The coat and skirt suit of a few years back was a step In the direction of freedom. Tt was simple. It was not, however, par- ticularly beautiful. Yoeu see I do not want the néw clotnes of women to ape the masculine mode, for that mode, too, has faulls of discomfort and ugli- ness. Chinesé Most Rational, “Personally, I think the most ration- al clothes in the world are those of the Chinese women. But to our West- ern eyes they are not beautiful. The cylindrical trousers and the cylindri- cal coat sléeves of the tunic have not the grace that Western women de- mand.. But some modification of that idea, some compromise with the essen- tially beautiful trousers and blouse of the Turkish women—there lies ' the reform concerned with the future of women."”; Her Better-Than-Skirts Costume. Mrs. Hale herself is having a house and garden dress designed this sum- mer which is an experiment in Tur- kish trousers, not the coquettish prod- uct of last season’s Paris, but trou- sered solely for comfort and not at all for bewitchment. She doesn’t propose to wear it any place but at her home, Forest Hills, Long Island. She plans no radical and comfortable walk of demonstration down Fifth avenue as certain other dress re- jformers hint they will do before Sep- tember, but she does propose to adopt this better-than-skirts costume for home wear and to demonstrate the practical beauty of the sane style in her lectures next fall. Mrs. Hale is not, as she herself So frank admits, a pioneer. The prophet’s eve for what must come along the path of freedom, the dar- i‘ng ta speak while all ears are timid, i she agrees is work for women of the movement like Mrs. Gilman. Health and Beauty, “My business and mission,” she says, “is to point the way when it bhas been found to women more timid than myself. This fall, to audiences of womeh only, with the use of model garments, 1 shall demonstrate the necessity of a wider movement tow- ard basing dress on the twin prin- ciples of health and beauty.” Mrs. Hale is most determined in the matter of shoes. The sandal she con- cedes to be the sanest footzear ever worn by the human race, but not per- haps so suited to our modern life as a regular low shoe with = heel not over & half inch in height.

All that she hopes and plans for daes not exclude the frivolous frock of play time. “There must be clothes for women’s work. After that,” she says, “beauty may take its most fan. tastic v in devising go>wns for evening: She wants, you see, a further ,de- velopment, not an end, to the art of persanal expression through dress that has been the prime outlet of woman’s onality through the centuries of ‘subjection.” OLGA PETROVA AT FOX'S AGAIN Olga Petrova, the stage’s most beau- tiful and taiented dramatic star best remembered here for her excellent work in *“The Tigress” will be seen hére again in ““The Heart of a Painted ‘Women,” when this dramatic master- piece is presented at .Fox's tomorrow and Thursday. Selma, daughter of poor parents leaves her home in Penn- sylvania to go to New York to take up her career as a singer. Unsuccess- ful, a position as model in the studio of a rich artist. After a few sittings, moedel and master hecome infatuated and before the first painting is com- plesed, Selma succumbs to his wiles and becomes his paramour. Later, Selma, is abandoned and the arlist becomes the husband of a prominent heiress. Desperate and discouraged she sinks lower and lower in the hu- man scale and at an entertainment she meets a spendthrift, with whom i she starts life anew. From this point i(n the superb final of the piece the action runs the full gamut of human emotions and judging from all reports from theaters where it has been shown Fox patrons will vote this production a most interesting and entertaining one. In conjunction with “The Heart of a Painted Woman,” the latest chap- ter of “The Exploits of Elaine,” will be shown as well as some excellent comedies. ‘“‘Beulah,” the six act clas- sic picturized from the famous Amer- iean book of the same name by Agus- ta J. Evans with Henry B. Walthall, the hero and star of “The Birth of a Nation,” and Joyce Moore in the lead- ing roles will be shown for the last times tonight. .*‘Beulah,” is a wonder- fully acted and elaborately - staged production of the heart-gripping clas- sic -of Louisiana, telling the pathetic story of Beulah, the daughter of the 0Old South, her héroic strugglés and her ultimate triumph in the love of a real man, that will strike a respon- sive chord in the most of the Fox pa- trons. who will witness this master- piece. - SOUTHERN PLAY A BIG HIT AT POLI'S To two Iu‘rge heliday audiences the Poli Playérs yesterday appeared in; “The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,” she abandons singing and secures | lard, her acting is logical.

The story can claim no great originality, for much along the same line has been written. The mountain feud has lent itselr willingly to the fictionist but in “The Trail of the Lonesome Pine” the feud interest is coupled with much elss and pre-eminent is a pretty love story | told with charming simplicity. i Marguerite Skirvin and Harry Hol- } lingsworth, the principals of the Polil Players, find in the present produc- tion unrestricted opportunities, for 1 their roles have been written big thev | have been given spotlight pusitions in ! the bigz scenes, everything revolves | about them and everything is subor- dinated to them.

Why It’s Unsafe to Call “It's positively unsafe nowadays to drop in on any of of an evening unless you like canned music,” a neighbor of mine com- plains, “for almost everyone you know has some kind of music machine and you're sure to get their latest rec vrds crammed down your throat e fore'the evening is over.” Now personally I like “‘canned music.” 1 gannot be thankful enpugh far the wonderful inventions which have made it posible for us to have the great musicians in our homes and‘o learn to understand and love good music a tso small an expense. Cramming Their Records Into Their Visitors' Kars, But on the other hand I can undcrstand how my neighbors féel and 1 your friemds pecple cram their records down their into their ears. The désire to force one’s pleasure on other people is almont as comman as the desire to force one's opinions on others, and as old as the foresfully renerous willingness to snare #ne's religion. There are a great many people who do not like music mathlnea In some it is an affectation, a desire to make you believe that they are #6 se- customed to hearing the great singers in the original that they cannot endure to dieten to reproductions. Others really do not eare for musie machines, 8till others simply do not care enough for music to want (o listen to it for any extended time. And then again, one should reatize that tastes in music vary very widely. Your guests may have strongly pro- nounced musical preferences and ypu: choice of records may mnot fit “in with theirs at all, People Like to Take Their Music in Different Fashions, Furthérmore, differen: people have different notions to tne which music should be listened to. My neighbor, who is franikiy mor musi- cal, complains that people put on fecerds that are utterly uninteresting to him and then all sit arcund in a dend silence lstening In awe and ad- miration. He cannot share the awe and admiration, but he has to share the silence and he resents it. On the other hand I have known visitors’ throats, or more literally, way In people whose ideas of pure delight is to start the music and then talk at the top of their lungs 11 competition with it. Tt is quite understandable that they might have guests who dfin't cure to take their music in just that fashion. My Constitutional Aversion to Post Card Album:.
