I »111 — * NEW YORK, Oct. 30 —(U.R)—The opening of the theater season in New lYnrk alwavs a time of speculation and Interest to literary and social circles, , |' ( les for the farhion observer extra stimulation in the styles projected by I celebrities, and the confirmation of silhouette trends, already launched, hv mart women on both sides of the footlights. Even in murical extravaganzas, where costumes are designed more for Igpecewular effect than with any great deal of style intent, there is often a

I jn the group of ultra-sophisticated ■ plays, touching on the social activi- ■ ties of the Park avenue set, there is ■opportunity to note fashions of indi- ■ virtual charcter, styles that while in- ■ corporating the nevde>tt. details are ■obviously adapted to the tastes of the B The longer skirt has been applaudEd on its effective entrance in most ■of the smart plays. The swathed hip- ■ line, from which draperies float or ■ dip in the accentuated line, makes ■ for grace and has won many of the ■ audience prejudiced against longer ■ skirts. I Incidentally a survey of evening ■ fashions among smart audiences Indi- ■ cates an approval of white satin ■ among women who are intent on em- ■ phasizing their summer tan. A par■ticularly effective gown in white faille ■of the period genre was noted recent- ■ ly, completed with long cape wrap of ■ the same fabric with high wired I standing collar.

I DRAMATIC CLUB I HOLDS STUDY PROGRAM Mrs. Allen Miller was hostess, last I evening, to the opening study meeting I of the Dramatic Department of the I Woman’s Club, at her home on South I Third street. Following a short busiI ness session, which was conducted by I the department chairman, Mrs. James I Arnold, Mrs. James Blair assumed charge of the study hour. Mrs. Blair gave a review of the play “Porgy", by Kathryn and Dußose Heyward. The play is a story of negro life in. “Cat--fish Row", a tenement aUe-y in Charleston, S. C., all of the characters except two or three minor ones, being colored. The play is a drama protraying the negro superstitions, negro spirituals, and the loose morals which exist among the residents of Catfish Row. The title character, "Porgy” is an old crippled negro soap peddler, who drives about in an old cart drawn by a dirty white goat. “Porgy’’ is one of the ten best plays of the season 1927--’B, as selected by Burns Mantle, New lork City's most famous editor play . cr *tic. Barrett H. Clark, an indepeni dent play critic of the city, also praises Porgy , and selected it as a possible contender for the Pulitzer prize which eventually went, however, to Eugene 0 Neill s “Strange Interlude”. Turning from the legitimate stage to the Little Theater, Miss Mildred Kelley gave an interesting account of the play "Lazarus Laughed", a very famous amateur ! Pt eduction in nine acts, which was staged by the Community Players of asadena, California. Miss Kathryn : Dorwin then told of the methods used n Little Theater work of selecting the oast and also the director for the plays. 1 the conclusion cf the program, an open discussion on the work of the (vening was held, during which Mrs. • iller served light refreshments. The next study program of the club will be held on December 10, at the home of Miss Naomi Durkin, jvith Mrs. J. S. eterson as leader for the evening.
