...last week an expensively gowned and highly perfumed audience crowded the Hotel Stevens ballroom to watch the annual St. Luke's Fashion Show. One hundred and eight young women, wives and daughters of Chicago's socially great, acted as models. The audience clapped appreciatively as Miss Josephine Templeton, in tweed, drove a golf ball into the gallery. Applause thundered forth as Mrs. Solomon B. Smith appeared in Mrs. J.

...Roberta" has the unusual distinction of having the feminine leads quite the most interesting. Fay Templeton, during her lone scene in the first act, holds majestic sway over all the proceedings.

This exposition has taken a slow hour and not a chorus girl has yet been seen. Fay Templeton, a turtle-like little old (67) lady, has sung one charming song with the pinched remains of a fine alto voice, and then died. Composer Jerome Kern has supplied half .a dozen excellent tunes. Appearing as a customer of Aunt Minnie, Lyda Roberti has got her usual comedy out of wriggling her stomach to show that she is a dangerous woman and waving her arms to show that she is a tomboy. Finally novelty appears...
