Door open daily at' noon.

The beauty of the dresses in "Today We Live," is that they're so practical and wearable, and so distinctly different from anything that has been seen before. No wonder Gilbert Adrian, who creates all the clothes for the Metro Ooldwyn Mayer actresses, visualises gowns for Joan as something alive and in motion. She has that freedom of spirit that brings life and youth to every flounce and ruffle. You catch this spirit In an adorable evening frock that was cascaded with ruffles. It's just the kind of dress that would make any girl's evening a success whether she were dancing, dining or viewing a new picture or play.

To get down to sober facts, the dress Is of moussellne de sole, that sheer material which combines the best qualities oft chiffon with the crlspness of organdie. Adrian has the knack of knowlna how to con centrate on one note in his designs and this particular one has that accentuated note in Its ruffles. They encircle the short sleeves and extend up and down the skirt at both sides ox tne front and back. A perky bow or Diacx velvet nooon caus atten tion to tne square neckline, while a matching velvet ribbon brings at tention to the waistline. The niece de resistance, however, is another evening dress.

Then were dozens and dozens of pique bowt on this dress, with dozens more entirely covering the accompanying little cape it took a little time to get past the fascination of all these bows to realize that the dress material was interesting, too. It looked like hand tooled leather, but turned out to be a sort of crinkly crepe satin. Tne dress is ideal lor any eve ning occasion, especially if one has the slim slenderness of Miss Craw ford. 'Wherea ruffles and bows are the most important feature of these dresses, buttons and buckles hold the limelight of two sports numbers.

Both these dresses are of tweed. one in grey ana tne other in brown, usuaiiy wnen yqii see tweeds you think of airls bound for a huntinr inp dui not witn tweeds done up in the Adrian manner and worn by Joan Crawford.

TOSS FHOOT THEATRES ALTHOUSE WILL SING AT RAJAH MAY 10 'i Former Readingite Metropolitan Star The growing demand for American singers abroad as well as In this country Is now definite and constant, it It due to the great versatility demanded from, and now answered by, numbers of American singers, among them Paul Althouse, who is a quick study and a well founded student. There was a time, when the American sang only in his own language or posaiuy in one foreign tongue, nut to day America is fortunate in having a nhethora of beautiful voices and in telligent singers who are versatile in languages as well as In operatic roles, oratorios and songs. No longer do managers ask If an artist is prepared with such or such a repertoire he goes ahead and books him in any emergency and every kind of an engagement without even consulting the artist. He appears to be right in so doing, for singers seem able to fill engagements at all times.

Paul Althouse is among these fortunate ones. Considering the that is still extant in Europe that the native singer uses only his ownr language it is remarkable to learn what has been accomplished in this country. Althouse made a splendid showing this season on the California coast when he performed the interesting feat of singing three distinctly different roles in as many different languages within the short period of six days. He earned high praise in all the press for excellent performances of the leading roles of Pinkerton in "Madame Butterfly," sung in Italian; as Faust, sung in French, and in Die Walkeure, sung In German, all in one week. It may be remembered that Alt house, who Is singing here on Wednesday, May 10, in Rajah theatre, has another distinction.

He was the first American tenor to gain recognition at the Metropolitan Opera house, in that he made nis operatic debut at that institution without having had any European training, thereby setting the precedent and opening wide the gates for future young American potentialities on that stage. He is also the youngest American to appear under the Metropolitan proscenium, being only 21 years of age at the time of his debut.
