Nancy Wynne Tells About the Marshall Place in RydalShe
Talks of Debutante Parties And Hears of a Mishap
, " on a Windy Qay
ICKRTAIXl'y tlilnk nnjone who is naked I After a woddlnc trip-Mr. nuil Mrs. Daggett
to the rate meet at lite Kilwnrd Kycrett will live In New Haven.
MnrrtialN on the Saturday before Easter
will have one dandy time, don't jou? J hat j
lilare of Marshalls out nlonc e Jicuuing
way it n wonder, believe me. If ou haven t
been there jourself, I have, nnd It h Kr
Bcoiu,, It has ICO acres, and they have a
i ace track of their own and a small club
house on the grounds, and lately they even.
iave had the old chapel on the place fixed
up and Bishop Khlnelandcr dedicated it n
couple of weeks or so ago. So you see you
have everything you want right at hand. A
little church of their owq. as welt as club
house, 'dance flpor, track, lawns, woods,
stream everything to make a place i(1!al
and It Is Ideal.
At the meet on April 19 there will be n
buffet luncheon at the clubhouse nnd the
HKiiestf) will attend the meet and then daucc
most of the afternoon. Mrs. Marshall was
Mis Sarnh Tlor, you knowt and she and
her husband arc most popular In th liotse
loving set as well as the other social set.
TlIK opera last night was quite wonder
ful, and certainly there was n larte and
i-nthitslastii- audience, for this may be called
the in-between kcason. ut It were, nnd those
who have been South have returned nnd
veryj very few have opened their count,'
' homes yet. Quite a number plau to wait
until after Kaster week, for whnt with Mask
nnd Wig parties and dancing Uasses or
other Mich excitements, the ounger set at
any Irate will be busy us bees, nnd there is
not.(mucli sens.e In going out of town just
to cbmc in again. .,,-.- n
fha'e seldom seen Mrs. Aleck Yarnall
look lovelier than she did last nlghtnt the
opera. She had a frock which was a com
binntion of white nnd silver- with- inlets
of a soft rose pink, which Is the most
becoming color Mis. Ynrnall ever wears. I
remember her once at a Bryn Mawr Horse
Show It wis the day of the Clark-1 own
send wedding nbout four years ago, and
Elise Hopkins (she was then) came up to'
the Show from tlu wedding and she bad on
a'pink cloth gown trimmed with chinchilla.
It was the loveliest gown I have abuost ever
seenand believe me, she looked simply
gorgeous in it. . . .
Mrs. Robert Montgomery had a wonderful
gown on last night; it was white satin shot
with gold thread and draped into the back
of the. low-cut bodice wan u fold of black
panne velvet, and Mrs. 'Arthur Kuileu cw
hold, who was with the Aleck amnlls in
Mrs. Alexandcr-llrinton Coxe't. box. wore u
wonderful frock of peScock blue green velvet
boftened with creamy, iace.
tr., Ridgway Rellly donned a becoming
i gown of very deep orchid georgette crepe. It
was built on very plain lines, the bodice
'lit V-shaped and fbcre was no touch o
.hi. in rnliee he mimic, but like Mrs.
.lack Oeary's black dress, it did not need
rtny white. ' .,
Several of next year's debs were there, in
the orchestra rather thnu the boxes. I saw
fortieth Botd in a dainty white satin frock
and Sarah Dolan had n blue georgette dress.
A verv handsome gown was worn by Mrs.
Horrv, Thavcr, it was of black and gold
brocade; but the most extraordinary cos
tume of the evening was that worn by Jlrs.
(ieorge Willing. .lr. It was a brilliant red
tulle and sequin dress made on perfectly
a. it iL. Uam- nml 1la)1fl in II I".
j,i ptraigDt lines; rauirr miun. .... - --
the waist with a narrow coru oi rcu "
It was the sort of gown that stood out
nione from all the others. Mrs. Willing
wore uo ornaments in her hair and no
jewels. It was certainly a woddcrful bit of
cqlor. ' ,
I
TOI.D you yesterday that the Red Cross
is going to start a drhe for clothing for

Mr. Taul Thompson nnd Mr. Stockton

house. You know last pctobcr there was a
drive of this kind, and the Southeastern
t'liapter collected more than 110 tons of
clothing for the Belgians. So of course they
nil waut to do just us well this year I mean
'this season, but doesn't it seem like a year
or two since last October?

a well -balanced hut not parliculnil.v bril
liant presentation of the opera. The cordial
lccrption of the work and its performance
goes to kIiow that Verdi and hi loely melo
dies aic a (ixttiic on the operatic Mage for
many jenrs to come.
Pcihnps the greatest interest lu tlie opeia
to the operngoer lay In the "Itigoletlo" of
De I.uca. This fine Mngcr has repeatedly
vhown his gieat nbilitj Io net in comic parts,
in which he has no superior and onl one
leal competitor on tlie -American opeiatic
stage. Much interest was showu in his per
formance of Don Carlos in "l.a Voivn del
Destino," but owing to the exigencies of
time, his tingic scenes in this opera weie
oinitled.x Ifast evening, therefore, was reall
tlie first tilde this jenr thnt a Philadelphia
audience had the opportunity to sec li'uii in n
vole of real tragedy.
It is no lcflcction on Mr. de I.ucu's his
trionic nit to say that he is belter in comedy
than iu the more serious characters, al
though he acted his Itigoletlo with con
viction and a thorough knowledge of the
part, but he could not nlwnjs jCRtrnin that
twinkle of the cje that proved ho, fnscinuting
nnd convincing in the "The Hnrbcr" and
"Ciianni Scicchi." Vocally, his rendition of
the part, exacting ns it is, left nothing to be
desired.
Marin Harrientos was excellent ns (li!da
Her voice is of light texture, nnd did not J
always prove equal to the orchestration, but
her ability to sing in perfect tune and her
high register, ns well as the manner in which
she carried out the intense emotional re
quirements of the pait. both vocally and in
her acting, aided her in making n decided
success. She has not wholly conquered her
habit of facial distortion, nud obviously
"piepares" for the high notes: but the fact
that she always .-els them is perhaps onlj a
vindication of the adage Hint "the end jus
tifies the means."
The thiid of the principal characters, that
of the Duke, was taken by Mr. I.azaro. He
sang well as a whole, although there was
here and there a tendency to "force" the
extreme notes, resulting more than once In
singing them a little sharp. He was not
especially convincing iu his acting, although
his small physique rather than his dramatic
ability may be responsible for this. Sophie
Ilraslau gave a fine presentation of Mad
diilenn, charming in appearance, resonant in
her fine voice nnd gjpsy-like in action. Of
the minor parts De Segurola ns Sparufucilc
and ltossi as Monterone were the best, the
lotter being especially impressive ns the
outraged parent, bis acting in the delivery
of the "Mnlediction" nnd his vocal work
throughout being the best that n local audi
ence has seen for n long time.
Tho opera is full of popular numbers nnd
they were all well given. The dramatic in
tensity of the curse of Monterone was one
of the high spots of the opera, ns was the
scene between Gilda nml the Duke in the
second net. Madame Karrientos gave prob
ably her best rendition of the evening in
the Giro Nome." which calls nol only for'
delicacy of vocnIUatlnu. but ns0 for n 'bril
limit coloraturn. demanding great range and
