Civic Theater's Costume

Authentic Style Record
Culling of Ancient Trunks Has Resulted in Collection of Dresses Presenting History of ~ Feminine Fashion in Bygone Eras.
: By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON ! With the possible exception of the strapless, sleeveless evening gown which the fashion writers seem bent upon making high style for the rest of 1938, the Civic Theater's costume department: can provide authentic attire for practically every era down through the pale
mauve past. As a document of
fetninine’ fashion it is
hetter than any single attic because it represents the
culling from scores of ancient true . While the names of the original donors of most of the more than 800 costumes have become obsciired due to a succession of wardrobe committees a lurking richness clinging to several ravishing creations
makes identification fairly: certain.
.. A stiff peacock blue faille grown with overdress of velvet brocade
dnd matching velvet hat with
ostrich plumes is one of many con-
tributions Mrs, Ovid Butler Jameson presented to the Civic Theater during her lifetime. Its basque waist, lined and boned, with touches of lace at the neck and sleeves and its taffeta underskirt with dainty lace ruffle beneath are typical of the styles of 50 years ago.
= . A slinky evening gown with all-over design of cut crystal fashioned with a train was contributed by Mrs. R.

mother’s footsteps as an outstanding actress in Civic productions

a =Pprincipal detriment to using costumes of bygone eras, according to Civic workers, is that so few present day actresses are slimwaisted enough to wear them or, if they can squeeze into the boned - bodices, their wind is cut off so they can’t speak, sing or in some sad cases breathe at all. For instance, one of the nicest costumes in the whole wardrobe is a brown velveteen suit with braided jacket and satin-lined gored skirt reminiscent of the days of '98. There's
red velvet edging on
the collar and cuffs and down the front of the jacket. A matching velvet hat is piped in the same red velvet and two elegant wings sprout at 45 degree angles from the front of the
brim. It has been worn just once because the waist is so small. The most versatile costume is a sweeping circular cape of peacock blue faille lined with rose velvet with two collars to make it com-
pletely reversible. and actresses.
It has been worn many times by both actors
©. For sheer feminine daintiness at the turn of the century nothing equals a creamy ruffled point de’esprit creation pleated all over, edged with satin ribbon and trimmed with rosettes. A brocade underslip with taffeta ruffle and a three-quarter length jacket mark it as a forerunner of the modern tea gown. | s.-No gift of costumes or accessories is ever spurned because eventually it is sure to be useful. Some gowns have appeared in as many as 20 productions and all through the winter season many
are in the process of being remade.
The test for an old costume,
according to the costume committee, is to jerk the material. If it
splits, the offending ruffle is torn off.
Stage lights, incidentally, have
a-way of cracking old fabrics just as if they had been out in the sun. The wardrobe boasts drawers full of aprons and maids’ costumes appropriate for service ranging all the way from night club cigaret— girls to Rachel Crothers’ high tea maids. There are hundreds of °
- lace-edged petticoats and pantalets, and drawers full of feathers and
boas representing probably every known bird including the once fashionable aigrettes. Astonishing sea-green and blue wigs fraternize with all shades of switches in another drawer and there’s a whole
‘ section devoted to padding. With a bumper crop of flowers and
hundreds of veils it’s possible to be orchidaceous and alluring or go
into deep banded mourning.
» «Regardless of playwrights or directors’ demands the Civic cos-
tume department probably has what is needed, but if it doesn't and
your do it’s pretty sure to get it—eventually.

Not All Parents
Are Consistent, Writer Claims
By RUTH. MILLETT Youth has always been idealistio about marriage. And parents have always been more hard-headed—at least so far as their own children are concerned. . | Remembering that we shouldn't have been startled to read that ‘a sweet June graduate had been disinherited !(the inheritance would have been around a million dollars)
who is not, in her father’s opinion, “of her social or financial standing” when there were, in her mother’s words, “so many other boys of her own circle.” - The parents, who say they will never accept the marriage, sent their daughter to college where the aim is to teach students to think for themselves. And then—as often happens—were outraged when their daughter’s thinking didn’t jibe with their own. A good many parents, it seems, want to have their cake and. eat it too. They want their daughter to have all of the advantages open to a modern young woman. They want her to become self-reliant; be able to think for herself—and be capable of supporting herself should the need ever arise. They want their daughter to be modern—but they don’t want to'be modern parents in return. They would like to hold the check rein, And when they find they can’t, they don’t take the news very philoso=phically. They react like—parents. Any man or woman who wants to have a say-so in his daughter's choice of marriage partner or her
