Tant Glancy and Tat Posselius, left to right, were among the models at a fashion show Friday noon at the Book Cadillac Hotel. The show, sponsored by a downtown store, took place after the Detroit Town Hall lecture at the Cass Theater and the luncheon at the hotel. A Barrymore Asp ires to Opera Field BY HELEN BOWER IF THE THEATER is a world of illusion, there was about the appearance of Ethel Barrymore Colt in the Detroit Town Hall Friday morning series at the Cass Theater the illusion that she is a -young woman out of the century to which she belongs, the Eighteenth. The illusion was enhanced by the way in which her brown hair was dressed, in a colonial effect of waves and curls, with a pale blue rose back of her right ear. It was enhanced by her dress, purplish hyacinth blue under the lights, with a long skirt draped in the front and caught at the waist with a pale blue rose.

There was a salon quality about her performance, with the title "A Barrymore Sings for Her Supper," which called for candlelight and the circle of a drawing room audience. Miss Colt is proof of her own statement that she had led "a very sheltered life," that her famous mother, Ethel Barrymore, for whom she is named, "never brought the theater home" to herself and her two brothers. The tone of her observations throughout had a self-depreciation which revealed the natural handicap under which Miss Colt is seeking her own career in opera. AS A PERSON, Miss Colt is attractive, engaging and honest. Her resemblance to her mother comes only in flashes of ex- 3IISS COLT Creates illusion pression.

Instead of the famous husky contralto, her voice is of a quality which, as she said, began as a "timid soprano." Miss Colt talked about her-family; how their home life really wasn't like. "The Royal Family." She told how frightened she and her brothers had been after they had been to see their "little uncle" (John Barrymore, in contradistinction to their "big uncle," their great-uncle, John Drew) In his first motion picture, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Their "beautiful uncle" had had to come up at bedtime in a vain effort to dispel his too-successful illusion of horror on the screen. For the songs which illustrated her lecture.

Miss Colt was accompanied by Miss Phyllis Flan-nagan at the piano.
