THE WHITE ANGEL." Produced by First National. Directed by William Dieterle. Presented at the Chicago theater. THE CAST. F-IELEN HAYES, in town for a IL day or two and remaining until after the marriage of her friend, Peggy Hambleton, to John Carey Murphy tomorrow after- Miss Hayes noon, is wearing Advice Changing world a little daisy turban with a blue veil as a complement to a blue and white print dress.

When the turban was admired, Miss Hayes said that her husband, Charles MacArthur, had selected the hat and brought it home as a present. This interested Miss Hambleton, who hadn't got as far as thinking perhaps a husband might be helpful about hats. "A STORY told by Miss Hayes, who will be back in Chicago in the autumn with Victoria Regina," illustrates the attitude of the modern mother. A debutante daughter telephoned her mother about 4 o'clock in the morning to ask how to get home. I remember our telephone number, but I don't remember where we are stopping," she explained in thick and maudlin accents.

Are you comfortable, darling? her mother inquired. Are you happy and comfortable?" When the daughter said she guessed she was the mother said in soothing accents, "Well, just stay right there." PERHAPS you won't care, but a I girl writes in from Columbia university that the professor of consumer economics ame to class one morning last week with her white hair a decided blue shade. Thatand the fact that in many university classes both professor and pupils smoke in classare two indications that things are not quite what they used to be. These facts, however, dwindle into unimportance beside the blazing announcement made in a pamphlet circulated by the Women Against Communism" organization. Do you realize thatone FERA financed college was recently found to be a hotbed of communism, where marriage and divorce, as in Russia, were being portrayed, nudism was rife, and free love was being commonly practiced on the campus and in the dormitories with the full knowledge and approval of the faculty?" the bulletin reads.

Somehow, worthy as the purpose of Women Against Communism may be, we feel it would have been better to have left out that little item from their list of eye-openers. We're too old-fashioned to believe it, even if it is true, and so must be many others.

lThe Mark Twain version. At least that's what I think. Her searchingly tender, intuitive, and amazingly sincere portrayal of The Lady with the Lamp is an outstanding screen portrait. It deserves to be classed with Paul Muni's Pasteur, and the film ranks with The Life of Louis Pasteur as splendid and enlightening cinema biography. Free Concerts at Grant Park Open Tonight At a tea at home on Sunday Mr.

and Mrs. Reginald Victor Robinson of 456 Elder lane, Winnetka, announced the engagement of their daughter, Jean, to Robert D. Cunningham son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert D.

Cunningham of 1812 Asbury avenue, Evanston. The wedding will take place Oct. 15. Miss Robinson attended Carleton college and Mr. Cunningham is a graduate of Northwestern university.

BY JUDITH CASS. EVEN the excitement of the Lake Forest horse show, the opening of Arlington and numerous weddings cannot take the limelight away from the debutantes. And during the last few busy days the dates for several debutante parties have been chosen. The William F. Peters have decided to present their eldest daughter, Miss Sylvia, at a tea at their home in Lake Forest the afternoon of Sept.

10, and that night they will give a dinner for the debutante, her assistants, their escorts and possibly others of the debutante set. So far no dancing party is scheduled for that night, which is a Thursday. The next evening Mrs. Leslie Wheeler will be hostess at a dance for another Lake Forest debutante, Miss Anne Winston, daughter of the Farwell Winstons. Mrs.

Wheeler will give the party in her handsome new Lake Forest home. Miss Peter, who will be in Lake Forest most of the summer, returned only a few days ago with a younger sister, Phyllis, from a year at school in Rome. Miss Winston, who also spent the last winter abroad, but with a traveling school, is to be presented formally with Miss Betty Keith, daughter of the Stanley Keiths, at a supperdance on Dec. 23 in town. Mrs.

Winston and her younger children, Dudley and Lucia, left Monday for the Broadview camp in the Berkshires where the youngsters will I spend the summer. Mr. and Mrs. Rawleigh Warner and their debutante daughter, Mary, have decided upon Sept. 11 for the date of the tea which will mark Miss 1 Warner's introduction.

The party will be given at the Warner home in Winnetka. The debutante will enter Smith college. Miss Ely to Be Bride at Lake Forest Ceremony.

The bridegroom is Fred Wilson Fairman son of the Fred W.Fairmans of Winnetka.

The Rev. Ashley Gerhard, rector of Christ church, Winnetka, will read the service at 5 o'clock, assisted by Dr. Seaver B. Buck, headmaster of the Berkshire school in Massachusetts, of which the bridegroom is an alumnus. He also is a graduate of Yale, having received his diploma last month.

Hamm will be the matron of honor and the bridesmaids will be Miss Louise Stanley of Evansville, Miss Lily Anne Peck of Thomasville, where the bride's mother, Mrs.

Jay Morse Ely, lives with her family in the winter; Miss Natalie Hyde of New York, and three Chicago girls, Miss Frances Jeffery, Miss Gwendolyn Bowen, and Mrs. John P. McWilliams former Priscilla Morse. Mrs. McWilliams almost had to drop out of the bridal party and also out of the Forgan-Allen one last Saturday for she is facing an appendectomy and there was some doubt that her doctor would allow her to wait until after the weddings and their festivities.

To most people the name of Florence Nightingale is familiar, and practically anybody could tell you that she was a remarkable woman and a great nurse who did a lot of good during the Crimean war. But, pinned down, I reckon most of us would be found pretty vague as to the history of her call to the service of humanity, the amazing battles she was forced to fight against prejudice and power, in order to practice her profession in an era when nice women weren't supposed to work, and the selfless devotion she accorded those under her care. f17Pd in Gown Mother Trore 26 Years Ago Satin Fashions Smartest, of Black Dresses Announcement is made of the marriage of Miss Elizabeth Frances Shipman, daughter of Mrs.

It was this devotion that made her the idol of the soldiers and those who worked with her and inspired Longfellow's beautiful poem, The Lady with the Lamp." You see, each evening when the day's work was over in her hospital at Scutari, a lamp was brought to Florence Nightingale. With it she traversed four miles of wards in order that she might assure herself that each patient was as comfortable as human hands could make him and to give each one the cheer of knowing that a woman personally brooded over him. The picturebased on the Lytton Strachey essay, starts with revelations of Miss Nightingale's sequestered home life in London, and with those of deplorable conditions in London hospitals. BY RHEA SEEGER.

The first black fashion entries are well worth all the excitement! Shiny, gleaming black satin, yards of the stuff, makes the full skired dinner dresses and the smartest and newest of afternoon clothes. You can tell that they are new, high fashion, and distinctive because in the daytime models the skirts are wide, the sleeves elbow length, the necklines are high, with drapery and details that make them intricate without being ornate. The shimmering satin is used without a bit of extra trimming, even buckles or decorative buttons. Mr. and Mrs.

No hospital accommodations! No nurses! The writer is unsparing of criticism and bitter in denunciation of those in high places whose criminal laxity is responsible such conditions. 1 Of how Florence Nightingale comes to go to the Crimea, and her work there, the picture then sings. The finale shows her back in Londonrecipient of the Victoria Cross, awarded her by a grateful queen.

It is a rich experience to witness and hear Kay Francis as she voices the inspiring words that have, ever since Florence Nightingale expressed them, constituted the vow taken by the devoted women who enter the nursing profession. Force, feeling, and a fine reticence are in evidence throughout the film, both as to acting and direction. Staging is excellent. Atmosphere and dialog ring true. There are lots of things you can miss without really missing anything.

But DON'T miss The White Angel." Sec you tomorrow. Ernest Ansermet Arrives for Ravinia Concerts Ernest Ansermet, distinguished Swiss conductor, arrived in chicago yesterday for his three guest appearances with the Chicago Symphony orchestra at Ravinia park on Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday afternoon.
