...bade 350 guests come dressed as their "opposites." Miss Maxwell rigged herself in pantaloons and high stiff collar as Herbert Hoover. Actress Ina Claire went as Episcopal Bishop William Thomas Manning, her escort was disguised as the Bishop's current antagonist, ex-Judge Benjamin Barr Lindsey (TIME, Dec. 15). Dancer Adele Astaire thought she was the opposite of an angel. Lady Ribblesdale went as Charlie Chaplin, Banker Mortimer Schiff as Oscar Wilde. Two socialite matrons chose to dress as "Ladies of the Temperance Union." Composer Cole Porter went as an oldtime footballer, his wife as a housemaid. Princess Hohenlohe-Schillingsfurst...
...Hope Williams, who is also in the cast. The songs and lyrics were written by Yaleman Cole Porter, the scenery de-signed by Yaleman Peter Arno. Unfortunately, there are so many stars in the show that most of them do not appear as often as the audience might wish. Dancer Ann Pennington has only two small numbers.

The trial of a "lovely society heiress" for the murder of a "noted architect," with a "beautiful nightclub dancer" as star witness for the prosecution would be just such a story. Last week Hearst's New York American was full of it. But the story was literally made to order-an ingenious new circulation stunt...
...idea from a small news item from Copenhagen telling of the broadcast of a murder trial there. Writer Kenneth Ellis of the American's radio-news staff wrote the scenario, packed into it the stuff of which city editors' dreams are made: the knife thrown at Dancer Dolores Divine as she walks to the witness chair; the disappearance of the "mystery gun" from counsel's table while the courtroom lights are switched off (each incident occurring just at the close of a day's session, of course). To make it suitable for broadcast the script...
