Colonial Balls To
Feature Bicenten
nial Celebration
Many celebrations in honor of
the Two Hundredth Birthday of
George Washington are taking the
form of pageants, plays, and cos
tume balls.
Seemingly unable to wait for the
actual birth-date, organizations
from one end of the country to the
other began celebrating early i :.i
January, with hundreds of events
scheduled for the time before and
after February 22.
According to the United States
George Washington Bicentennial
Commission, many cities have al
ready begun the festivities with
Colonial balls, and others are mak
ing their plans. Important in these
was the Beaux Art Ball in New
York on January 22, which society
leaders of all important cities at
tended.
The Bicentennial Ball at the
Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.
C., sponsored by the United States
George Washington Bicentennial
Commission, to be held on the
night of February 22, will also be
attended by prominent society
leaders from every, state in the Un
ion. The All States Society will
hold a ball that night in the Shore-
ham Hotel, and the New .England
States Society in the Willard Hotel
with dozens of other Costume balls
in other places in the National
Capitol.
One of the most attractive events,
scheduled for, February 22 is the
ball 'to be given in historic Gads-
by’s Tavern in Alexandria, Va., re
producing the last Birthnight ball
which General Washington attend
ed in this very tavern. The quests
attending the ball in 1789 will be
represented on this occasion by
their descendants, many in the
actual costumes worn at that time.
liarchmont, New York, has elab
orate plans under way for a grand
Colonial Ball to be held at the
Larchmont Shore Club, February
22, in which all the young set will
participate to make it one of the
most successful social events of the
year.
Committees drafted from the
civic and patriotic organizations of
Ossining, New York, are arranging
for a ball to be given on February
22, when the authentic costumes
of the period in the possession of
scores of residents of the town, will
be brought out for the occasion.
In Brooklyn, New York, the Bat
tle Pass Chapter the D. A R. gave
a fashion show of the Colonial per
iod on January 15, when the par
ticipants represented such lights of
the Revolutionary era as Martha
Washington, Mrs. Alexander Ham
ilton, Mrs. John A.dams, and others.
“A Costume Ball of the Spirit of
’76” will open festivities in Albany,
New York on February 22. The ball
will mark the conclusion of a day
of celebrations by the State Com
mission, and will be the most elab
orate affair ever attempted in Alb
any. All guests will be costumed
either in Military or Civic dress of
the Revolutionary period. Petite
Dutch girls, direct descendants of
che early settlers of Albany will
serve the buffet luncheon at mid
night. Various pageant episodes
will mark the opening of the ball
culminating in a final number of a
grand march in which all guests
will take part. This will evolve it
self into general dancing depicting
the first inaugural ball. During the
period of intermission at midnight,
a musical pageant with a chorus of
200 voices will stage an allegorical
pageant in the nature of a surprise
offering.
The Tenth Regiment Armory in
Albany, New York, will be the
scene of a costume ball on Febru
ary 22, when the musicians and at
tendants will appear in the Col
onial livery.
St. James, New York, will enjoy
a ball on February 20 in The Old
Fire Hall which will be a costume
affair with tableaux, songs, and
stories depicting scenes from the
life of Washington, with incidental
mu.ic and dances of that period.
Th^ proceeds are to be devoted to
the needy of St. James and Necon-
oet.
