BROOKLYN LIFE Society in Brooklyn AN AMUSING FEATURE of the entertainment at the Bal des Fileuses Easter Monday at the Ritz Carlton will be the showing of the moving picture taken by Mr. V. Hall Everson, Jr. The Socety Cinema, sponsored by a coramiittee of prominent young men and women, proved too ambitious an undertaking for amateurs and although two of the important scenes were filmed it was impossible to continue. Screen ngs of the feminine fdotball game and of the Cinema Bail at the Brooklyn Woman's Club were highly successful and a showing has been eagerly anticipated.

So it has been decided by the executive committee of the Bal des Filuses to have them cut and edited for the amusement of -their guests. Miss Lisbeth Higgins will dance, the Spinsters' chorus will do a number and the amateur revue will close with a singing and dancing act staged by Miss Adele Entz. As no tickets will be sold at the door it is imperative that they be sent for before the 15th of April. Miss Regina P. Kieley, treasurer, will mail the entrance cards with the guests' names on receipt of cheques and lists of escorts.

SI: A mmsimm Silifi A DAUGHTER, Alline' Rait Moore, was horn to Mr. and Mrs. Revere John Moore (Margaret Cruik-shank) now residing in Shanghai, China, on April 3rd. Mrs. Moore will be remembered as a daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Frederick R. Cruikshank, formerly of Brooklyn and now of Scarsdale, N. Y. THE BIG NEW YORK and Brooklyn charity carnival, pageant, spectacle and ball, at the new Madison Square Garden, May 11th, forty days away, to which the well-known Lila Agnew Stewart, its director, has given the name, "One Thousand and One Knights and Ladies," is moving along on rollers, and Brooklyn girls and men seem destined to play an even greater part in it than was first projected.

That fact and circumstance became very evident at the "organization meeting" Thursday afternoon of this past week at the Park Lane, Manhattan, in the big ballroom that is a very favorite place for Brooklynites. Not a few Brooklyn girls of note were there, along with the Brooklyn chairman, Mrs. Alexander Hamilton Fraser, and Mrs. Garence Waterman, Mrs. James Guthrie Shaw, Mrs.

John M. Tallman, Mrs. Otto C. Heinze and Mrs. William Matthews Mackenzie, among other matrons of Brooklyn interest, all very keen and with very distinct preferences as to which episode they should take part in.

The Louis XV episode seemed to be the Brooklyn girls' favorite, perhaps because they heard that there was to be a duel in it and the very smart young men of the New York Fencers Club were to stage it. Whatever the reason, Miss Stewart found this episode besieged by Brooklyn debs, just past debs, near debs and almost debs. So that is settled. Brooklyn has contracted for at least a part of this scene, fifty girls and fifty men at the minimum. Some of those who are to be in this French Court animated picture will include, according to Thursday's plans, Miss Muriel Slocovich, Miss Violet Hardie Mars, Miss Dorothy Lathrop, Mrs.

Ira F. Warner (Ada Heinze), Miss Betty Foster Smith, Mrs. Tracy Higgins (Madeleine Waterman), Miss Elizabeth Deycr, Miss Charlotte Calhoun Deyer, Miss Elizabeth Greenwood, Miss Agnes Callender, Miss Anna May Hunter, Miss Frances Barnum, Miss Hope Hewlett, Miss Hester Hewlett, Mrs. Albert M. Billings (Teenic Shaw), Mrs.

A. Oakley Lohrke (Evelyn Schroeder). But these are by no means all the girls that are "booked." The former Mona Kene, Mrs. Frank E. West, is to be among the Troubadour singers in the Spanish episode, one of the most picturesque of all.

The Troubadours, according to Miss Stewart's "scenario," are singing on their way to a bull fight, and in this scene there is to be a particularly large amount of color and atmosphere. Miss Clara Murdock is also to be in this scene, as is Miss Ruth Jenks and Mrs. Robert McManamy (who was Helen Kene). Miss Lucie Hall, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Frank Griswold Hall, and not long ago lived on Plaza Street, but is now in one of the finest and most fashionable apartments of the new Fifth Avenue, has asked to be allowed to ride the camel in the Egyptian scene, and she has been "elected," In the 1927 Tap and Step Dance there are to be Miss Gladys Mars and Miss Priscilla Murdock. MISS ALISON HEMINWAY who is to be maid of honor at the wedding of Miss A. Lilian Haddcn and Mr. Robert Monroe Sanderson on April 23rd entertained at luncheon at the Hotel Plaza on Thursday in honor of the bride elect. Afterwards, the party attended a matinee of "Rio Rita." The guests included the members of the bridal party.

Huntington Woodman, Mr. and Mrs. Walden Laskey, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Allen Price, and Dr.

John H. Denbigh, and with them sat the new president, Mrs. Clark Burnham. There were more than one hundred persons present, and after the dinner was served Mrs. Burnham before introducing Dr.

Denbigh, the speaker of the evening, gave a short history of the Club. It seems that during the Jubilee year of the Packer Collegiate Institute the Alumnae of the Institute were raising money for the erection of the wing of the Institute which now stands towards Clinton Street and as his gift, Mr. Woodman said that he would get together a large chorus which would give a concert in the Academy for the benefit of the building fund He did this and at the concert this chorus of one hundred and fifty women was assisted by Mrs. Shannah Cumming, soprano. Mrs.

Grace Wheeler Dutton, soprano, and Mr. David Bispham, besides an orchestra of forty-one musicians. From this chorus the Woodman Choral Club was started, and there are still six active members and four associate members in the Club, who were in the first chorus. The program of the big concert is on the writer's desk, and it is amusing to see by the advertisements how really young lots of things are that we have grown to regard as too commonplace to mention. For THE ENGAGEMENT is announced of Mr.

Austin Phelps Palmer of the Hotel Gotham, Manhattan, a nephew of Miss Mary G. Dexter, also of the Hotel Gotham, to Miss Helen Josephine Kennedy of 86 Long-wood Avenue, Brookline, Mass. The wedding, a small one, will be on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 27th. -jJL Mishkin Studio AVERY DELIGHTFUL TEA DANCE was held on Friday, April 1st, at the home of Mrs. Robert Eugene Merwin, 796 Carroll Street, for the Senior Group of the General Nathaniel Greene- Society, N.
