TIIE EAST HAMPTON STAR, FRIDAY. AUGUST 8, 1930
OVER 1,000 PERSONS WITNESSED PRESENTATION OF REVELS OF 1930
The Maidstone Club musical revue, “East Hampton Revels of 1930,” presented on Friday and Saturday nights, August 1 and 2, were witnessed by more than 1,000 persons; over 500 filling the Club ballroom to the doors on each night. Summer residents of the Hamptons encored again and again the comedy skits, song and dance acts given by their young friends.
The youngest and most applauded Reveller was four-year-old Miss Patricia Devine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Devine and granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul A. Sal- embier; little Miss Devine sang and danced to “Sidewalks of New York" in a yellow and black Italian costume, in a scene called Hurdy Gurdy Days; perfectly at home with her audience, throwing kisses as she was borne off on the shoulder of the Hurdy Gurdy Man, Robert Hattersley.
William H. Woodin, whose music was used in two scenes in the revue, was
given an ovation by the first-night audience. His “Gypsy Love Song” was used in the Ballet of the Birds, in which Miss Grace Cody did a beautiful solo dance as a canary, supported by eight young girls as parrakeets in brilliant red and green plumage. Mr. Woodin’s “In Sevilla" was used for "the scene “Lady of Spain,” in which Miss Martha Turner sang, beautifully, supported by a spectacular group of “ tango girls” in Spanish costumes of gold satin, wearing high tortoise shell combs; of “tango boys" in purple and white, and Senoritas in magnificent tall white mantillas and white gowns.
Mi s s Marianna Richardson, her brother. H. Banning Richardson, Miss Elizabeth Haynes and Philip Dater did a clever comedy act called “Inaudibility.” Mrs. Ambrose Helier, in blue beach pajamas, led in a song, "Exactly Like You,” while her chorus appeared in white, frilly pajamas.

cal little dance-hall hostess in "Ten Cents a Dance."
"Gay and Naughty Nineties" was a rollicking skit in which Mrs. Charles Melville Bull jr., appeared as a Motorist Girl all done up in linen duster, and thick veil, carrying a lily in her hand; Miss Mary Osborn Polak breezed in with a tennis racquet in her hand; Mrs. E. Louise Vanderbilt swam in, in the extremely modest bathing gear of the Nineties, water wings sprouting from her shoulders; Mrs. Cobb Chapman was a fetching Croquet Girl; Mrs. Haynes was a spring sweetheart; Miss Girl of the old college posters; and Mrs. Clifford McCall brought down the house as the Bicycle Girl riding her tandem in red jacket with balloon sleeves, plaid bicycle bloomers, and sailor hat. The scene was done to the music of "A Hot Time in the Old Town” and other old favorites.
Miss Elinor Sheedy and H. Banning Richardson made a great hit singing in "On the Beach;” as a beach girl and a handsome life guard; with a striking chorus of Beach Girls and Bathing Beauties arrayed in the latest models for that sort of thing.
Robert Hattersley, as a top-hatted young man who wanted a girl for every month in the year, viewed a parade of lovely ladies until December came round and with it Santa Claus, who gave him them all on a Christmas Tree. Miss Jane Erdmann was lovely as January in pale blue satin and white fur; Miss Betty Perot was a Valentine Girl; the Honorable Eileen Beresford was an Irish colleen in green and white; Biss Betty Dowling was an April shower; Miss Elizabeth Haynes was a spring sweet heart; Miss Maida Lee Mason a beautiful June bride; Miss Betty Campbell a Fourth of July girl; Miss Frances Weeks a summer girl with parasol; Miss Lucie Alcott wore a bathing suit; Miss Mariana Richardson was red and gold for October; Mrs. Ambrose • Helier was Puritan maiden; and Miss Fleury Leonard came on the Christmas tree.
Miss Adelaide Moffett led some remarkably agile young dancers all in red and black; they showed wonderfully good teamwork; and were applauded again and again.
Mrs. David Oliver Shoemaker (Vanda Nomicos) sang two Russian songs and one in English, accompanied by Victor Harris at the piano. Both Mrs. Shoemaker's singing and Mr. Harris' ac- companying were very beautiful.

SHOW LOCAL HISTORICAL EXHIBITS
IN C. ACADEMY
Bridge and Fashion Show fo r E. H. Settlement House
A very interesting affair, for a most worthy cause is being planned by Mrs. Frederick K. Hollister, to take place at the Maidstone Club on Thursday afternoon, August 21. At 2:30 that afternoon a huge auction or contract bridge party will begin, while, for the benefit of those who do not play but wish to aid the cause, a fall fashion show, to be staged by Saks-Fifth Avenue will begin at 5 o’clock. The benefit is for the East Hampton Settlement House on North Main Street
Built many years ago by the late Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Gallatin, the first small settlement house and the present one which represents many additions. have done incalcuable good. Mrs. Theodore Weston has been a strong supporter of the work there; the late Mrs. Everett Herrick contributed largely to it; and for many years Mrs. James Hodson, who is not in Ea~t Hampton this summer, has aided very materially in carrying it on.
Social affairs of the neighborhood are held there; all sorts of clubs me?t there; a great deal of health work has been done through the resident worker at the Settlement -House, and through the emergency hospital buii through the interest of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Woodhouse seme years ago. The clubs that meet there are self supporting, but the upkeep of such a house Is naturally large. No public benefit or other campaign has ever been made for this local good work, so far as The Star can remember, at least for a great many years.
Tickets for the bridge and fashion show—one ticket includes both—may be secured through Mrs. Frederick Hollister, 'telephone East Hampton 39G.

Volunteers O ffer Services so That Public M ay V iew
Exhibits
The East Hampton Historical Society, at its annual meeting held early this summer, decided that something should be done about opening to the public that part of the Clinton Academy building which houses local historical relics. This could not be done without having someone present in charge of the rooms; and there are no funds wherewith to pay an attendant but it seemed a pity to shut off one part of the Academy, and a very interesting part, especially in summertime when visitors are always coming there to view the various art exhibitions. So for the present, volunteers are taking charge of the permanent exhibit there; on Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons for at least the remainder of August, frcm 3 to 5:30, visitors will be welcomed on the second floor of the Academy as well as at whatever attraction occupies the first floor.
Samuel C. Hedges is president of the Historical Society: Cornelius Sleight, secretary and treasurer. Miss Edith Eldredge is curator of the little museum.
New glass doors have been built for the museum room. Among the relics of
' an earlier day in East Hampton that are cherished there are some old cos-
I tumes. a few as early as the Revolutionary period; several of the 1800’s. There is a piece of the cloth of gold
[that was left at Gardiner’s Island by Captain Kidd; and some pictures of the Gardiner's Island Manor House. The old Clinton Academy library is
] there and other Academy relics, including rules for the teachers; and a hand-made copy book.
|. The log on which old Colonel Hedges hammered his famous silverware is there; also his mould and other utensils. There is a complete old-time kitchen outfit in the fireplace. A few Indian relics are here. The pulpit and weathervane of the old Presbyterian Church (1717) may be seen; a piece ol the lumber from the very first church; and a rather grewsome relic—the spade
j with which the first sexton is sup- ! p sed to have dug the graves. Two chairs which belonged to the Rev. Nathaniel Huntting, second pastor of the Preobyierian Church, are included in the collection.
A Tulsa. Okla.. life guard saved a man from drowning in the municipal pooL The rescued man has presented a claim to the city for S30. Fifteen dollars because he was permitted to be almost drowned, and fifteen dollars for a bruise received on the head when the life guard dropped him alter dragging him from the pool. That man could never bathe in our bathtub. He'd demand too much service.
Debutante Party T onight for Miss Isabel G ardiner
A vary interesting debutante party will be given tonight for Miss Isabel Gardiner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Winthrop Gardiner, by her parents, at Duercant Hcuee, their home on Main street. As well as a coming-out party for Miss Gardiner, this will be in the nature of a house-warming for the Gardiner home, which has been moved and re-built, and christened Deurcant House, in memory of the first Lion Gardiner’s wife, Mary Deurcant, whom he met and married in Woerden, Holland. and brought to America in 1635. Gardiner's Island was given the family by royal grant in 1639, when the Gardiners became the first settlers of this township. The Island is still in the possession of the family; Winthrop Gardiner Jr., is heir to his uncle, the present proprietor. Lion Gardiner.
Miss Isabel Gardiner, as well as being presented to society here under her own roof, will be given a supper dance at the Rltz-Carlton, New York, by her parents, on January 3. She attended St. Timothy's school at Catons- ville, Maryland, and Oldfields, at Glencoe, Maryland.
About 250 young people from both Southampton's and East Hampton’s summer colonies, as well as many from
j other Long Island resorts, and from , Tuxedo Park, N. Y., will dance in the j Gardiner house, and have a buffet sup- j per in the gardens, from a pavilion j erected overlooking the oval sunken 1 garden, which has been strung with I thousands of tiny electric lights cover- 1 ed with colored silk. About 30 friends ' of Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner will also be i in the party.j Miss Gardiner and her brother. Winthrop Gardiner jr.. have as their week-
I end house guests four cousins. Mias ! Alice Du Pent of Philadelphia. Miss I Gardiner's schoolmate at school, and her brothers. Felix and Richard Du Pont, and John Blake more of New Orleans.
