" THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1927 When Thomas Carlyle, many years ago, wrote his famous book "Sartor Kesartus," in which he laboured nughtily to prove that "clothes make the man," the modern Fashion Show was a thing unknown. Were he alive today, he would doubtless feel consi- derably flattered to find, like Metter- nich, the Australian Chancellor, "how right he was." ughout the ages, "clothes" have d a tremendous part in the eter- nal drama of the human race. Dimly through the swirling mists which ob- secure the farther end of the age-long corvidor of the centuries, one sees the caveman gallantly risking life and limb against overwhelming odds to procure for his long-haired sweetheart the. tawny skin of the sabre-toothed tiger for which she has conceiived an in- satiable craving. At any cost she must have the lovely thing--and she gets it! Our young man of this present day and age, equally daring, will, with the same noble unselfishness, risk a large portion of his hard-carned salary for the beautifying of that wonderful bob bed-haired damsel who has promised ta love, honour and obey him. Truly we are all brothers and sis- ters under the skin, and the spell oi beautiful clothes is no new thing in the experienee of the race, Those who attended the Fashion Show in the Re: gent Theatre last night, and thrilled 1c 'the gorgeous and wonderful array of gowns and furs there exhibited, were only repeating the ancient thrill of the Neauderthal® caveman, as he watched his mate dancing and pirouet- ' ting before him, clad in the pelts of iterce animals which he had slain for her pleasure and comfort, Should any of our readers be con- sumed with ap unquenchable desire tc stage a real modern up-to-date Fash ion Show, we heg to offer the follow: ing formula, which we hereby guaran: tee will be an unqualified success, pro- viding our directions arc carefully fol- lowed : Take one large and heautifully de- corated theatre, such as the Regent, ull it to overflowing with a mixed assortment of humanity, the sexes be- mg about equally divided; take twelve heautiful girls, blonde and brunette, for gentlemen prefer hoth; dress them in the most bewildering creations im aginable; let them appear one by one on a stage decorated with hanks ol preen ferns and palms, and hung with immense dark blue velvet hangings, and above all, let there be an orches- tra which shall be in entire sympathy witih the occasion--and there is you I'ashion Show! Beautiful girls, lovely as the houri of the Arabian Paradise, blonde fo the gentlemen, brunettes for the su per-gentlemen, gowned like princess: of Faerie, graceful as the gazelles o! Persia, gliding gracefully to slow mu- sic across the lavishly decorated staie «truely a picture to delight the «ye of the most jaded and blase in all this wide Jand of ours. nthe person of Mr. George Zarfas, of the Canadian Producing Company, Hamilton, the organizers of the show had an "anncuncer" par excellence, his introductions and witty comments adding greatly to the zest of the oc- casion. At the closes of the feature picture, "Twelve Miles Out," with Jobn Gil- bert @nd Joan Crawford, which, by the way, is one of the best of Gilbert's we have ever seen, a wonderful blending of pure comedy and stark tragedy which should not be missed by any- one, Al. Hamiilton and little Rita Sul- Jivan entertained with a song and dance respectively. At the close of this preliminary act, the curtains were drawn aside, reveal- ing to the eyes of the expectant audi- ence the beamtiful scene we have al- ready hinted at. Bank upon bank of dark green ferns against white wooden railings, behind which was a platform perhaps two feet in height. Behind this and on both sides of the stage were huge dark veivet curtains, the whole effect being a masterpiece of stage lighting and arrangement. Introduced by Mr. Zarfas, the young ladies appeared one by ome from the wings, posed for a moment on the platform, and then walked to the front of the stage, pa--ing forwards and backwards mn order 10 give the specta- ors time to admire: the beauties of the gowns, furs, or coats with which hey were adorned. ¥ The principal displays were from the establishments of The Arcade, Ward's and Lock's Ladies Wear, while the men had their innings when two sviart young men from Anderson's and iod- gers' showed what the well-dressed male ought to wear. Where ail the dresses were so lovely, it would be myidious to single out any particular one for special mention, but no doubt they may all. iv seen at the stores of the merchants .hove-mentioned. The latest freations from Ward's were admirably displayed by two pro- fessional mannequins an ati 4 models. T) comment from the city's fashion lowers. In addition to the gowns and furs, he audience was informed that the s were supplied by Mr. Errol . Several smart' looking hat- and handbags came from the bongs md of Sa well and Sonms, |/ while the floral portion of the decora- tions were from the Lewington Nur- series, Kingston road west. Stage fur- niture was supplied by Luke's. Among other features which creat- ed considerable interest and evoked prolonged applause was the very dMever toe-dancing of little Rita Sullivan, and an interpretative dance entitled "The ingan Love Call" which was really an aesthetic treat. This was by Miss Mabel Williams, who is of the type which men usually call a "beautiful blonde." From com- ments which were heard, it is assur- ef this young fady will have mo diffi- culfy in securing an audience, shouid she announce her intention of appear- ing on the stage again. Two of the songs sung by Al Hamiilton mere Martin Theatre, which received hearty applause. A very pretty interlude was the singing by Al Hamilidn of "My Cre- tonne Girl" which was also written by Mr. Harry Bell for the Arcade nagement, for presentation at the shion Show. Mr. Hamilton was ac- companied during the song, by two young ladies, Mademoiselles Spret nell and Callahan of the Arcade, who were dressed in cretonne gowns of the crinoline period, the whole arrange- ment being very effective, and won- derfully artistic, At the opening of this number Ms. Zarfas announced that it was staged for the purpose of reminding the aud- ience of the Cretonne Carnival which is being held at the Arcade, and which will be open for several days at that establishment. It is learned that the management of the Arcade have a wonderful selection of Cretonnes, which are most tastefully arranged in the centre of the store, showing the many various uses to which this ma- terial may be put. At the back of the displ y is a concealed phonograph, a lends an atmosphere of charm and daintiness to the colorful display, In addition to the cretonne draperies, there are many made-up articles, such as smocks, aprons, couch covers, and dogens of other articles made of cre- tonne in the workshops of the Arcade, The whole display is a splendid ex- ample of up-to-date showmanship, and artistic arrangement which cannot be Lettered, even in the larger cities, CITY GOUNCIL SANCTIONS LOAN (Continued from page 1) cluding a tractor snow piow, scrap- ers, and motor sprinkler for use on the city's paved and unpaved street systems. The Council again affirmed. its right to control the location of new businesses by refusing to grapt a license for a restaurant which was proposed to he open at corner of Division and Brock streets, This step was taken despite warning that the Council may be faced, shortly, with injunction proceedings in the matter. Ald, Hart and Ald. Swap- son contending the corner mentioned is within the business area and thai the Council cannot refyse the license though supported in that action by nearby residents, Recommended by Ald. Bradley, the salary of the Oshawa police magistrate beginning November 1, will be $2,600 yearly. Growth of the city with consequent increase of police cases has increased the duties of the police magistrate very mark- edly, it wus pointed out, Reports The Council resolved itself into a mmittee of the whole twice during e evening. First, to consider the Board of Works report; next, to discuss the Fire Protection and Lighting Committee's agenda. Ald. George T. Morris was named chair- man in both instances jin the ab- sence of Ald. Schell. Paving of French street moved by Ald. Macdonald, but on opposition by Ald. Swanson who took the ground that older streets should be paved [first where peti- tions are, the matter referred back to the committee authorizing the engineer to do what he could to improve conditions on the stree'. Standing water on French stree', Ald. Macdoald charged, was respo>n- sible for Oshawa's present slight but dangerous epidemic of Adiph- theria. Ald. Swanson proposed giving Ray street between Bopd apd King 10 the Board of Education to increase its King street school area. The mayor was opposed. The matter was referred back.

Ald Hart, on Mr. Stirling's reference to The Times report from/Comptroller Brown of General Motors that the corporation was prepared to pay cash in advance for the work, declared that he had interviewed Mr. Brown Monday afternoon who, Ald. Hart declared, stated that the report in The Times was "diametrically opposed to the meaning of his remarks on the subject." Ald. Stirling retorted that he had also seen Comptroller Brown Monday afternoon, and that he was assured thai the housing scheme for Motors employ - proved wider paving on the ground that, no matter where such is in- itiated, increased taxes makes up the city's 25 per cent. share of the "We are a growing city and can stand a big debt," his worship re- plied to Ald.
