iMS VOL. XIII, No. 13. SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 26, 1910. FIVE CENTS PERFECT IN EVERY DETAIL Living Pictures Provide Evening of Rare Delight at The Carolina. Mai nl j Reproduction of famous Masterpiece Concluding: With The Bachelor' Reverie." . ERFECTLY carried out in every detail, the tableaux and living pic tures arranged by the young women of The Carolina, provided an evening of rare delight for one of the largest audiences ever assembled in the Music hall. The program was given in and makeup above criticism. Miss Carolyn Fuller's interpretation of "The Chorus Girl" and "Milady" were both vivid and dramatic; her chorus girl costume, perhaps, one of the best of the evening : a blue satin, fur trimmed gown worn over a lace skirt and set off by a large picture hat. Miss Ruby Sewall was radiant as "The Bride" in white satin, veil and bouquet of lilies, and stunning as "Countess Potoca". As "Priscilla", Miss Priscilla Beall was very winsome in grey gown, white neck kerchief, dainty cap and her dark hair in two braids, the spinning wheel giving a finishing touch, and she also made a refreshing "Summer Girl." As an "Old Fashioned Girl" Miss Lady Maud Fuller seemed to have just stepped from a picture frame ; her gown an old fashioned silk with lace neck kerchief and black picture hat, and as borough Portrait" was a striking fac similie, and Miss Angela Moore and Miss Margaret Johnson were very sweet as "Her First Sorrow" and " Innocence". Miss Katherine Heffernan made a dainty "Rosemary", and Miss Dorothy Burrage a smart "Equestrienne". As "The Girl with the Muff" and the "Trained Nurse" Miss Dorothy Fuller was splendid, a touch of the artist's studio was given by Miss Alma Mackay in an ideal head, and Miss Grace Higgins as "The Brunette," Miss Charlotte Matt lage as "The Belle of the Colonies", Miss Marcia Humphrey as "Mrs. Sid dons", Miss Claire Renwick as "The Widow", and Miss E. L. Rockwood as "Madame Le Brun" were all excellent. Then, by way of contrast, was Mr. P. S. MacLaughlin as "The Golfer", inimita ble, of course, as "Mac" always is. To the earnest efforts of a large com- IN A SHOWER OF CHERRIES Washington's Birthday C Million Ends With a HoYel Surprise.

ASILY one of the Rea son's most brilliant social affairs was Tuesday evening's "Washington's birthday" Cotillion at i The Carolina, enjoyed by the entire Village colony ; the pro gram one of merrymaking and the favors attractive and appropriate.

From the standpoint of novelty and variety the program could not have been better. The arrangement of the stage was most effective, a large gold frame, flanked on either side by dark draperies, serving as a "shadow box" for smaller frames (oval and upright) which matted in warm green and reflecting a soft glow from the footlights, stood out in strong contrast against a rich background of dark crimson ; the lighting of heads and figures admirable, and the costuming "The Girl with the Green Bow" she was also excellent. Miss Juliet II. Grif fith as "The Girl with the Rose", and "The Society Girl" was wondrously beautiful; the latter costume of white satin gown, lace coat and white plumed picture hat suiting her perfectly. Miss Harriet Horton made a vivacious "Coun try Girl in pink gingham and straw hat, and she was splendid as "The Girl with the Broken Pitcher." Miss Catherine Purdy was very chic as "Fluffy Ruffles", and Miss Virginia Ireland made a stun ning "Cleopatra." Miss Eleanor McCormick in red robe and cap, was a brilliant "Portia", and as a "Golf Girl" she depicted a familiar type. Miss Gertrude Lamb made a su perb "Audrey" and a handsome "Winter Girl." Miss L. Allan as a "Gains- mittee on which Miss Beall, Miss Fuller, Miss Sewall and Mrs. Allan were active members, the entire colony is indebted ; the result of the evening a handsome sum added to the charitable fund of the Village Club. The young women were assisted by Mr. Paul E. Gardner, who announced the pictures, and Messrs. Ralph N. Gardner, E. L. Scofield Jr., andW. S. Dillon, who assisted on the stage. Mr. H. H. Kirkpatrick and Mr. Vernon Lloyd posed in the "Fluffy Buff lea" picture and Mr. P. S. MacLaughlin was the grey haired bachelor of many and varied loves. The only regret con nected is that visitors must wait another year before they will be privileged to enjoy a similar treat, for the young women, in spite of numerous requests, hardly feel equal to a repetition. Decorated in red and green the Music hall presented a pleasing appearance, streamers of bunting running from the center above the floor to the sides were set off by mistletoe and other greens, crossed hatchets being used on the walls and cherry trees on the stage; the lights shaded with crimson tissue. The program included many effective marches in which flags, scarfs and favors were used and the figures were mainly many "frolics." Among these was a race in which young men strug gled for the posession of a dainty hand herchief which meant a dance and another in which the young men tried vainly to cross the floor with feathers balanced on their noses, and in a third a wild scramble ensued in endeavors to ( Concluded on Page 5)
