‘Front Page’ Staff Shuts Out ‘Scoops’ in Costume Designs Strict Secrecy Prevails Before Civic Dance “Deadline,” With Many “Exclusives” Expected in “Final Edition.” "?Y BEATRICE BURG AN SoelMjr Editor THEATER patrons who are to attend the "Front Page” costume Saturday night at the Athenaeum are taking no chances of being ‘scooped.” They are planning their costumes secretly. Lika the reporters who write the news about the characters the dancers are to emulate, they arc keeping their ideas under their hats. Mrs. Donald Carter, costume editor, says that patrons hope headline the party with "exclusives.” And so they won't talk before edition time.

Mrs. Carter, like Pavel Tchelitchew. Eastern painter and designer, believes that paper can work miracles. Tchelitchew recently startled Hartford at a Paper Ball with the fantasies he cut from paper. "Think of the days of your childhood when you could sneak a pair of scissors out of Mother's sewing box. How you snipped and fringed paper into amazing, lacy effects,'’ she commented. She suggests the same thing for the Civic's annual costume party. She e .pects friends to come disguised as news "headliners.” "I'll be disappointed if we don't have a Mussolini, Hitler, a Haile Selassie and. of course, a Major Hocple. We have a few American celebrities who could be portrayed with a bit of makeup, a wig and appropriate

clothes,” she commented. She can imagine all sort of unust al effects resulting from clever handling of wall pap>r, crepe paper, cellophane, comic sheets and front pages. The display advertising editor, Mrs. Herbert Pinnell, and Mrs. Carter

have had as much excitement in designing costumes anti decorations as Elsa Maxwell, who pepped up a party recently in New' York by appearing in a paper costume. Newspapers Make Decorations Newspaper is being snipped into strips and interwoven into a lattice effect to hang on the rathskeller walls. Paper is being folded and puffed out into lanterns, and shredded and swirled into pompons. Mats of newspaper pages have hren silvered to be centerpieces so" wall decorations. Enlarged photostatic copies of newspapers are to be murals. Tim hallway is to divided into the press and city rooms w'here newspaper workers are to see lot themselves the Civic staff s version of the manner of men who put out the daily paper. Robinson's to Give Party Mr and Mrs. C. C. Robinson are having a party at, their home before the ball. Their guests are to be Misses Helen Foley, Brownie Miskimen and Jane Dygert; Frederick Burleigh, Mr. and Mrs. William G. Sparks, Horace F. Hill 111 and Dave Harter.

Mrs. Grover Views Plays BY HELEN WORDEN NEW YORK, March 26.—Mrs Arthur B. Grover, who is a friend ot Mrs. H. M. Woollen and formerly lived in Indianapolis, has been catching up on the new plays. "I saw ’Dead End,’ ‘Pride and Prejudice,’ 'Children's Hour,’ ‘Libel,’ ‘Russet Mantle’ and Helen Hayes in ‘Victoria Regina.’ ” Mrs Grover said, "and liked ’Victoria Regina’ more than all the others.” Indianapolis people who visit New York are concerned first with the restaurants, second, shows, and third, odd neighborhood shops or markets. I've written a good deal about hotels and restaurants, but not much on theaters. Those who are planning a week-end in New York usually want news of the Broadway hits. “At Home Abroad.” “Victoria Regina.” "St. Joan,” “Dead End” and “Jumbo” are the sell-outs. Jimmy

MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

HOUSE, WASHINGTON—Last night’s meeting of the National Library for the Blind was quite an inspiring occasion. Miss Helen Keller's efforts for those who are similarly afflicted and her willingness to give of herself was a very touching sight. She spoke of the few books that

were available in Braille when she was in college and what it would mean for the blind to have the constantly expanding fUId of a library of such bocks. The National Library for the Blind is a na-tion-wide organization and I hope that it will enlist the interests of the people throughout the country. As I sat on the platform and looked at the people who in spite of their handicap are doing so much, I could not help but think of what an obligation their example puts on the rest of us. I rode along the river path this morning and there are spots in which the horse and dogs sank

at least a foot in the mud. When the elements—fire, water and wind—become uncontrollable they bring such destruction in their wake and make human beings so powerless. Yet we keep on working and trying to devise means by which we can protect ourselves. There is something very grand in our courage. In this morning s paper I notice that Morris Llewlyn Cooke thinki we should change our tactics and stop building high dams in favor of lower ones. Nevertneless, the city of Portsmouth, 0., seems rather well content with the wall which protected it successfully during the last few days. However, if Mr. Cooke is right I am sure we will be trying his method before long. I think Dr. Morgan, head of the Tennessee Valley Authority, must be congratulating himself on his plan for flood control that has worked so well around Dayton. O. Mrs. Lyman Munson from Albany brought her three children in to see the White House this morning and stayed on herself for a ladies’ luncheon at which many attended. Madame Saito of Japan sat on my right. Mrs. Mac White from Ireland sat on my left, while Mrs. Byrns, the wife of the Speaker of the House, acted as my co-hostess across the table.
