New York. April 26 Perhaps the
most fascinating thing about the fash-

plicity. Although a trifle more frilly
and fussy than for a season or two

from Jenny, and that summer after-
noon dress of striped chifTon ami taf

the Overholser Theatre Thanksgiving
week, turning away hundreds of peo
pie at every one of the five or six final
performances, returns to that play
house Thursday night. April 27. This
time the* engagement will he for only
half a week, closing Sunday night, due
to the great demand for the attraction
in other cities where contracts on
l tered into last summer must be filled
| before the end of the theatrical sea-
son. As before, there will he matinees
every day after the opening night, and
the prices will be unchanged, ranging
from 25 cents to $2 at night and 25
cents to $1 at the matinees.

ed there last November, it wae com-

| to see I). W. Griffith’s mighty spec
; tacle of the Southland during the dark
j days of the Civil war and the still
, darker days of reconstruction. Since
I then the attraction has appeared in
every important southern city, where
■ it has scored the same sort of sensa-
tional success it met with through-
out the North. Griffith has told by
film and orchestra the most thrilling
historical story ever related by
American through the medium of eith-
er the novel or the drama. He ex-
hibits vividly the march of Sherman
to the sea, the battle of Petersburg,
the meeting of Leo and Grant at Ap
pomattox, the assasination of Lincoln,
the horrors of carpet bag rule, and
the restoration of the South through
the powerful agency, of the chival-
rous Ku Klux Klan. Accompanying
j the pictorial spectacle is a musical
score of grand operatic calibre that
interprets every movement and adds
immeasurably to its thrilling effect.
The organization is the same that
played the Overholser before. adv

is a question. It is rumored that ma-
terials are so scarce on the other side
of the ocean this year. thRt many an
old fabric is being brought out from
its almost forgotten resting place and
fashioned into a spring or summer
costume. Etamine was a particularly
satisfactory summer fabric, cool, dur-
able and soft. It w’ould not come ai

year.
Serge is as popular as ever, al
though it is said that we may have
our troubles in dyeing it later on. At-
tractive combinations of tafTeta and
serge, and faille and serge are seen
in many of the new suits for Easter.
An effective suit of Cheruit's is fash
ioned of mixed dark blue covert. At
a distance it cannot be told from serge
and of course, for the sport suit, tweed
is very popular. A particularly smart
suit, made by Lanvin, is a light gray
tweed trimmed with French blue
broadcloth. There is very little of
the leather, introduced earlier in the
season, to be seen about the late
coats and suits, whether for sport
purposes or the regulation tailored
use. “Beer” clings to the notion in
novel cape coat suit. The coat is
fashioned of a new waxed silk, which
greatly resembles leather, especially
at a distance; it is dark blue and is
combined with a skirt of dark blue
gabardine.
I’aquin shows a coat of covert for
afternoon wear, trimmed with dark
blue patent leather, but except for
motoring and such use. leather is no*
to be reckoned with to any extent.
Now and then an odd leather motif
is appliqued to a handbag, or trims
a sport hat effectively, hut for most
other purposes, satin has superseded
it.
A pretty notion in the new summer
frocks is the touch of taffeta or other
silk on the dress of batiste, voile,
crepe, or organdy, and silk-embroid-

wonderfully easy and graceful in
every line. Taffeta, satin, crepe, Georg
ette, chiffon, and the Chinese and Jap
anese silks, are being used for these
models, as well as the novelty cottons
and sheer linens. The summer girl
will appreciate their charm and corn
fort. These, too. are so simple that
they may be fashioned at home with
no misgivings at all and what possi-
bilities they do afford!
