Is the average college man only capable of taking the part of a chorus girl or spineless dancing hero? It would be a pleasant change if the students became sufficiently ambitious to direct their talents toward producing some really good plays.

After all, the only good thing about most varsity shows is that they are individual in always as many men as girls. These productions have for years been depending for their success on frothy slapstick humor and the incongruity of seeing men take the parts of girls. There is much less expense in giving a good play, with a comparatively small cast. Chorus girls are a very costly item, because of the elaborate costuming necessary, to Hay nothing of the extra traveling expenses. Unfortunately, however, we must be practical as well as theoretical.

Do the debutantes go to such shows tc see the acting? Hardly. They gO that they may meet the divine and get some college, Junior Prom! susceptible boys and perhaps So varsity shows are forever doomed to be musical comedies in order that college students may have the opportunity to "see America first" and, as the mountain came to Mahomet, so will Princeton, Harvard and Columbia masse" to small towns and advertise themselves through the medium of footlights and jazz.

Hans Muller also put the recent fashion shows In the shade by him costumes worn in the role of the ingenue. Taffeta Is, of course. the most appropriate material for the ingenue, being freshly crisp and not too adhesive. Mr.

Muller consistently appears in two taffeta models. One is an unsophisticated creation of sulphur yellow, trimmed with net and a butterfly bow of rainbow colors. Another more elaborate gown is of raspberry taffeta and silver lace, with a modish skirt of uneven length and a touch of blue in just the right spot. Observe at the Easter week dances and see how these symptoms of style will have spread! THE MASCULINE MODE these days 19 as ample 88 the feminine mode is scant. The men seem to be striving hard to supplement the small amount of clothing worn by the women by burdening themselves with an undue amount of apparel.

Doublebreasted coata are worn even with tuxedos and dress suits now. Masculine legs are lost in Oxford bags with pleats at top, and overshadowing all are the wide-brimmed derbies. The barbers depend on the ladies for most of their business now because since all the women have been scalped the men are attempting to maintain a mean average by wearing their hair longer. But the most important thing of all for the gentleman of today to have, in large proportions, is a fat and deep pocketbook! E. R.
