ARRYING a light plot but at least two carloads of costumes for Gaby e Honeymoon Express,” aft ther slow start at the Winter Garden Jast night, made up for lost time and arrived with a whoop, With all due respect for the running time of the frat and second sections al the Shubert Limited, it must be said that the Ively Lady of the Lilies broke all ‘Broadway records by her mile-a-minute changes of costume. Never on any New York stage within a similar space of time, not even in the most gorgeous days o! Lillian Russell, has a fair devotee of the dressmaker’s art displayed such an amazing collection of “get-ups."" It wasn't so much what Gaby did as what #he wore. Any one who can obtain the moving picture privileges of her dressing room aught to make a fortune. She put the poor old overworked rainbow to the blush | vith her highly colored dressing scheme. It was kaleidoscopic. One woman with | head for figures and an eye for color kept a mental score-card of Gaby's per- ws formances & costume actress, and after counting up eleven lost her mind. She was led out raving. ‘With Gaby it was not merely a mat- ter of gowns. She piled on the finery until it rose above her head like some strange bird looking for a winter home. She was a sensation, or rather a suc- ceasion of sensations. The first she dear departed mi that she shot up in white feath at another moment she trailed her beau-| teous self about in the humble style of| the peacock. The only time she didn’t} dress was when she undressed. But she exercised great discretion in showing as) ttle of herself from the ankles up as the plot would permit. She is at her best when viewed from head to foot. ‘The plot ~didn't Interfere with her! nearly s0 much which she made her w moon express. In writing the book an lyrics Joseph W.
