The silhouette of the woman of 1929 is an excellent example of this diffi- culty, Mrs. Emma Mellencamp, who is responsible for the costumes in Play Production's current offering, "Much Ado About Nothing," points out. Ih Elizabethan times the much longed-for figure was cone-shaped from the waist up. Flat steel con- trivances were worn to get the de- siredi effect. To a 1941 audience a leading lady dressed in this manner would appear ridiculous, and detract enormously from the degree in which the audience enters into the mood of the story. Dress Must Be Modified For this reason subtle modifica- tions of dress must be carried out. The characters of the people por- trayed can be suggested by their clothes to a greater extent than is usually appreciated. For example, Hero, who is quite simple and sweet, will appear in pale blue, of a soft material, which, while preserving the general lines of the period, is not quite as stiff as most of the costumes. A heavy red pearl-studded dress will be worn by Ada McFarland as Beatrice, who had a sharp, clever wit. Nothing retiring about either cos- tume or character. Margaret, the chamber-maid, will appear in blatant purple, which indicates the coarser!
