Show The 25th Annual Junior Promenade JUNIOR PROMENADE aeroplanes swooping around and about the decorative ferns and palms. A super-modernistic background of aeroplanes was most effectively formed behind the orchestra: and points of exceptional interest were brilliantly illuminated with spot lights. A sham battle in the air was featured in the Senior room, with aeroplanes making loops, darts, and tailspins against the veil of a misty gray sky. With lights somewhat dimmed for this unusual aspect, there were most interesting impressions conveyed to the observer-the idea of mysticism, something of horror, a touch of adventure sparkling with the hopes of youth, yet that appeal of unknown, all in contrast with the beauty of a grey dawn. In the adjoining rooms were the same modernistic ideas, while in the ballroom and grill, the decorations were beautifully arranged under the illumination of colored flood and spot lights. The dining room was the scene of great interest to all of the enthusiastic guests of the evening. There was served by the Zeppelin's chief steward, a delicious course of food, wisely chosen for the satisfaction of the diners; and there was found the cheerful conversation which so well indicated the good will of the contented guests. The favors received by each lady in attendance were novel necklaces of seed pearls joined by clasps of large crystals of different colors. These were acclaimed to be some of the prettiest favors ever received and certainly were to be treasured by the young ladies who received them as a token of remembrance for the silver anniversary Junior Prom. Around the mezzanine and to different spots of interest, strolled many couples of young people dressed in their fine attire, to make room in the ballrooms for the immense crowds in attendance. The aspect of the whole hotel was an absolute proof of good patronage and therefore a decided satisfaction to the committee. Amid the lure of the artistic background, colorful and pleasing to the eye, representative of the particular thing which it portrayed, the crowds danced in the ballrooms or discoursed in the decorated rooms, halls, or balconies. The feminine beauty and the gorgeous gowns were of the most attractive and interesting to both the ladies and the men. The flickering lights, brought about that lure of symmetry so obviously a matter of high concern. Amid these engaging scenes and effects, the season's most striking social event came to a close- bringing to the large crowd in attendance, a great amount of satisfaction-crowning the committee with the assurance of their success. 1 Jan. 24 th 193 "r Page 177 |
