‘ ‘Rose Marie ” Premiere

BEWITCHING GOWNS WORN BY PRINCIPALS AND BALLET

MANNEQUIN PARADE The packed audience which witnessed the long-awaited Auckland premiere performance of “Rose Marie” was as delighted with the exceptional beauty of the frocking as they were with the charming play itself. From Rose Marie herself down to the last of the host of ballet girls, every feminine member of the cast has opportunities of wearing distinctive and delightful frocks. Rose Marie makes her first appearance in a girlish frock of powder-blue: crepe raorovia, piped with cherry-red, which bright colour is repeated in the velvet girdle and tiny buttons that adorn the inset vest of tucked ecru georgette. A band of cherry ribbon is knotted through her sleek, black hair, and the flat shoes which accompany her frock are also rosy in hue. Next she wears the dancing frock which we have always dreamed about, a thing that combines enormous width with the slenderest possible appearance. Of mignonette-green georgette the skirt is cut in circular manner and has six deep godets of finely frilled georgette to give it swinging width. A charming sports outfit worn by Rose Marie included a coat of strik-ingly-embossed crimson and white material, banded with rich white fur, and worn with a pleated white skirt and fur-topped Russian boots of white kid.

An evening frock of ombre tulle, shaded from palest blush-pink at the shoulders to a vivid scarlet at the hem, was trimmed with crimson rhinestones that twinkled rosily in rays upon the skirt and around its petalled edge. Most charming of all, of course, was Rose Marie’s wedding gown, a thing of exquisite laces and satin, that gave to the slim, dark-haired, starry-eyed girl an air of Old Worldliness. The gossamer skirt, with its tier upon tier of fragile lace was' mounted on a close fitting bodice of satin, trimmed with shimmering silver embroidery. The chorus wears a multitude of beautiful things, especially in the number “Pretty Things,” where every moment a fresh bevy of attractive frocks appear, worn by the pretty ballet girls. Frocks of taffetas, crepe and georgette, slender frocks and bouffant ones, modern evening gowns in a bewildering variety of colour and fabric and design, frocks that date from the time of Josephine and Napoleon, ultra-modern smoking suits. Stephanie Deste, the dancer, in her fringed skirt of black, her glittering breastplates of rhinestones, appears and flaunts a fan of flaming scarlet and orange ostrich feathers that measures six feet across, and similar striking things are seen every moment, FIRST-NIGHTERS Among the packed audience were noticed;—• Mrs. A.

The house was beautifully decorated with a golden blaze of Iceland poppies and from a white wedding-bell hung in the drawing-room streamers radiated across the ceiling. The bride wore a simple frock of silk-embossed rose du Barri lace, girdled with soft rose-velvet, finishing in a large bow at one side, and a cluster of roses was lightly caught on one shoulder.

Her hat was of close-fitting shape in rose crinoline straw, with a rolled brim and trimmed with rose velvet. She carried a sheaf of Christmas lilies.

Scott as best man.

A small reception followed the actual ceremony, which took place in the drawing-room. The bride’s mother received the guests wearing a smart frock of lotusrose crepe alonza, with inset panels of ecru lace in the bodice and sleeves and appearing in the Peter Pan collar. A hat of beige crinoline straw was worn, trimmed with rose-velvet ribbons. Miss Olive Samuel, a sister of the bride, wore a dainty frock of moon-light-blue crepe de chine with bands of blue patterned crepe to give relief. Her hat was of grey straw banded with blue velvet. Miss Y'ates was in a frock of mig-nonette-green crepe with collar and cuffs of rose and green floral silk, and with it she wore a green hat.

Miss Syms wore a frock of orchid mauve crepe de chine inset with gold lace and caught at the waist with a long silk tassel. Her hat was of matching shade.
