Ulla gay insides am 0155 qo ding ting linq you musi- sn-sq, Ulm TOWN TO -NIGHT The Spirit of the Nineties-Clotilde Cunningham's accurate conception wins a costume prize. GN lanuary 20, we went, as Bea Lillie would say, to a Marvelous Party. The Scribe lamboree was staging its annual costume affair at the big gym and the place fairly swam in the atmosphere of the gay old days. We entered very authentic Hswinging doors as the nickelodeon ground out Daisy, Daisy, 'll-lot Time in the Gld Town, l'After the Ball, and all the old pearls of the Golden Age of Song. Scattered about the floor were cozy tables with red-checkered covers and candlelights. Behind a long red table in the corner were Hester and his crew serving the most superior food. Funny posters were on the wallsgGibson girls and men, can-can dancers, Fitz- simmons and Sullivan prize fight, and on the floor gathering for the grand march before the judges' stand was the funniest and grandest group of costumed people imaginable. The Chicago Fire-Mrs. O'Leary's cow and all-bathing beauties, picnic groups, Bowery babes, wasp-waist ladies, top hat gents, tandemseall were there! When Nelle Delaoache, acting as master of cere- monies in her circus barker's outfit, finally got the circle rotating, we knew we were seeing the gay nineties relived. It was an evening full of fun-the Glee Club's guartet with Doris Beckwith, lean Gibbons, Pat lameson, and Miss Feiker lugubriously singing A Bird in a Gilded Cage 5 he Floradora sextet of willowy maidens and undersized gents doing a perfect routine to 'Tell Me, Pretty Maiden 5 and finally the whole crowd singing the old songs as they were projected on the screen. Yes, it was the most Marvelous Party ! I when you hear dem -a- beth Nl :pin found and swectuty and when 'WG V056 am ihrouq In his Cho-rv! AN :pin lr... Tfwre ll be a hd' time in-th 9 i

Emily Shelton and Kitty Adair are familiar con- ceptions of the period in their swinging corduroy skirts and starched waists. The Floradora Sextet twirls a mean parasol and a meaner mustache.
