and find a temporary surcease from
their worries. Then happens the in
evitable with the introduction of a man
of wealth and for a brief period Black
wood makes use of the ' time famliar
"stage triangle," but he makes a quick
shift from, the trio to a Quartette of
central figures and continues with four
personages of almost equal importance
to the development of the drama until
his final big, smashing climax.
Throughout "A Dollar Down" there is
an unbroken Chain of comedy of the
genuine, mirth provoking sort so that
the more serious moments of the play
are relieved at proper Intervals by
scenes that compel gales of laughter.
The entire strength of the Baker stock
organisation will be seen in the produc
tion of "A Dollar Down."
T YBIC There's anotner terrible mlx-
xj up brought into the plot at. the
Lyric theatre this week. And as usual
It is old man boo ley who gets into all
sorts and sixes of trouble. Mike goes
out to spend a happy evening seeing
the bright Uffhta of the big city. Ac
companying him la a lady fair, none
other than the charming Mrs. Ike. But
Mike doesn't know it Is his friend's wife
until the play is almost ended. She
fools Ben Dillon every afternoon (ex
cepting Wednesday) and evening this
week.
When Dooley reaches his happy home,
he tells the missus, that he has been
out with a Mr. Wright of Free street,
Bluffville. Mrs. Dooley at once tele
graph to Mr. Wright Strange to say,
there's a man by that name living on
that street He comes In answer to the
wire, but is" accompanied by his wife.
All this time, while the plot is thick
ening, the Rosebud chorus sings and
sings. There's lots of Joy tn this week's
opera at the Lyric.

New York. Oct . Manhattan's winter
season of lobster cocktails and grand
opera will be a. shady season aa far as
feminine regalia I concerned.
Each day on the avenue brlnga out
new evening creations of. hue as sombre
as the proverbial raven's wing. Whole
salers, retailers and dapper salesmen
say that thia la the aftermath. of the
orgy of color in evening gowns worn
directly after the wartime habiliments
of mourning -were caat aside.
Whatever the cause, the truth is that
the fluffy-ruffy Ingenue girly-glrly
frock of pastel-lined tulle and chiffon
or some gorgeous lustrous satin be
spangled with rhinestones has given
the right of way to stately and matronly
flrure-swathinc gowns of jet chltfon
velvet brocaded satin of midnight black,
jet black sequins or the same materials
developed in dull brown fcreens, mid
night blues or the last possible shade
of any color.

The old princess line Is returning.
Some modistes are endeavoring to break
this similar line to the street moyen
age and chemise dresses by developing
the colonial line with bustled and pan
el red hips, waist and berthaed neck.
A certain house on Fifth avenue which
boasts a name to conjure with in the
fashion world has just brought forth
this big-hipe-small-waiatllne in a bridal
gown of heavy ivory satin. A heavy
wire at the hipa swells the dimensions
of the frock several feet The belt is
more than snug and the round girlish
neck is finished with a cascade of old
lace. The same design is developed tn
olive colored velvet most effectively.

program of classical and popular selec
tions is promised by Pasquale and Pow
ers, a talented couple who play violin
and accordion.
The .picture feature will be Maurice
Tournler's production entitled "The
Broken Butterfly," from the novel
Marcene," by Penelope Knapp. The
story la a heart-Interest drama of love
and disappointment and cruel intrigue
that compels the attention of the observ
er from end to end.

Charles W. Boyer In producing this
unique and musical offering has left
nothing wanting in artistry. The en
vironment of the ante helium days has
been truthfully reproduced, and a large
company appears in the roles typical
of the parts they represent It Is the
only act of the sort in vaudeville, and
it will be welcomed for its delightful
humor and Its tuneful atmosphere.

not seising the style eagerly. It is the
snug, simple princess line that will be
seen ' on opening night " at the Metro
politan and horse show, according to
modistes who are deluged with orders for
these two great events of Gotham smart
Mfe.
These "midnight gowns" are far from
being altogether sombre, as their dull
ness of hue is always contrasted -ith
some note of elaborate color. " Thus on
stunning mode of heavy jet uses huge
carved ivory roses with flame-color cor
sage. Shoulder straps of flame velvet
and a long trail Of flame velvet and a
long trail of flame tulle complete the
costume.
TRAIK OF BEADS
A really spectacular mode shows white
satin with a corsage of black and white
chiffon roses and train of jet beads
falling from, the right shoulder. These
shoulder drops are very comme 11 faut
and are almost entirely supplanting the
bona fide train.
Another chic Item la the tendency of
gowns not to be "on the level." A one
sided effect Is prominent Thus a gown
of mole velvet has one shoulder strap
of gleaming rhinestones and the other of
black velvet The straps are not fas
tened evenly on the bodice. The slit ef
fect is given by many gowns which open
over Insets of lace or metallic embroid
ery. Many gowns employ girdles of tiny
ostrich tips combined with ribbon and
velvet
The evening costume is completed by
a touch of both face and hair powder
Lto match the gown. Lavender, rose, blue
and green race powoers are as common
for evening wear aa white. Flesh and
gold powders are also used.

how to use : (e) keep sand palls handy.
Sand will stop a small film Tire quickly
