BLOOMIE'S HONORS B'WAY
Broadway Ninety is Bloomingdale's salute to the past, present and future of the Great White Way. The celebration began with a gala fund raiser on April 8 for Broadway Cares (an organization dedicated to helping AIDS victims in the theatre community).

Also benefiting Broadway Cares will be the proceeds from an ongoing silent auction of celebrity memorabilia. From now until June 3, you will have a chance to see- and perhaps bid on- a chalice used in The Phantom of the Opera, a costume Gwen Verdon wore in Chicago, as well as items worn onstage by Robert Morse, Liliane Montevecchi and Tom Hulce in, respectively- Tru, Grand Hotel and A Few Good Men.

Fifty of the famous caricatures, which line the walls of Sardi's restaurant, can now be seen on Bloomie's second floor, along with a display of memorabilia from Rodgers and Hammerstein's unforgettable musicals. Costumes from current hits are on display on the main floor, as are the legendary "gypsy robes," which are passed from one chorus member to another for luck on opening night.

Elsewhere in the store, you can check into Bloomingdale's own "Broadway Grand (hotel). Just off the stunning Art Deco "lobby" are suites created for Tommy Tune, Chita Rivera, Jerry Herman, Noël Coward and other luminaries.

As part of this salute to the Broadway theatre, Al Hirschfeld, whose New York Times drawings have chronicled over 50 years of theatre history, has immortalized the likes of Debbie Allen, Carol Channing, et al, exclusively for Bloomie's- yours for the asking on a shopping bag.

And you can fill your shopping bag with a Les Misérables or a Phantom beach towel. Of course, if you are looking for
