Visitors from Many Cities Because the Fur Fashion show is unique, hundreds of members of the fur trade from all parts of the country come to Chicago in July and August to attend the event. This year C. J. Gordon, president of the association, has made announcement of a number of official delegations which will visit the show, more than 2,000 in all, rep- resenting fur trade organizations throughout the United States. The New York City delegation has reached 300 in number and word has been re- ceived also from the following cities of groups which have been organized to attend the show: St. Louis, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Detroit, Cleveland, Boston and Pitts- burgh. For the entertainment of the visitors the association gave a banquet on the opening night of the showing in the Gold room of the Congress hotel. Af-| ter the first run of the fashion prom- enade all the mannikins were brought to the banquet room where a beauty contest was conducted for three prizes given by the association and the Cen- tral Furrier, the only fur trade maga- zine published in Chicago, of which I. C. Greenberg is editor. A group of moving picture producers attended the banquet with a view to placing the prize winners in the films. The staging of the show was done by the production staff of the Balaban & Katz theaters. It comprises the en- tire stage attraction in each house, combined with a film. It is divided into three scenes and is heralded by animated bill boards. The first is a boulevard scene in which smart wraps for morning and afternoon wear are shown. The second is a country club setting in which every variety of sports furs is shown in appropriate styles, particularly furs for the school girl and the flapper type. Third and final scene is the "Peacock Promenade" in which the most luxurious coats and wraps for evening are shown with harmonizing evening gowns and cor- rect accessories. This scene closes with an ensemble in which all the mannikins--42 in number--appear. Miss Helen Blasius of 385 Birch street and Miss H.
