in the garclen of the R. J. Beatty home at 260 Ravine drive-a lovely spot admirably adapted to this type of pres- entàtion. The play is a colorful comedy of Russian country life and the cast consists of. Agnes George, Anne'Rich- ards, Lorena Cather, Betty Phillips, Harold Hingston, En Hulbert,. Harry Richardson,. and' W. Lewis Gifford, some of whomj teachi at the Chicago Art theater. The production is- di- rected by Maria Astrova Lazareff., This plIay was announced Iast -week as takng place in the. garden of the James C. Ewell home.. A very s wc- cessful performance was given there eanlier in the season, and it w,ýas fotnnd to be a perfect setting. Mrs. Lazareff commented parti'cularlyr on, its charm and splendid acoustic qualities, and *when iirged to cornie bacçk for a re- turn engagement after her western *tour, gladly consented, Since then, hioWever, it has *-seemed advisable to provide accommodations for a greater number of people, and the very kind offer of Mr. and Mrs. Beatty's garden was gratefully accepted. The, Chicago Art Tl- ter was founded by Mr. and Mrs. Lazareif four, years ago. Ivan Lazaref. was one of the artists of the Moscow Art theater for twenty years and hoped *to càrry, its 'unique nethods and artist*ic ideals to many oiher countries. His first ex- periments were with a group from the Russian working classes in his own dramatizations of sorne of Maximn Gorky's stories. Gorky was s0 pleased with these that frorn then on the studio bore hiý name, and was supported by the Russian government. .The encouragernent given the Lazareifs at the time of his appear- ance ini Chicago some years ago in "The Miracle'» (at whîch time he and bis wife .presentèld a group of Russian Plàys in Ravia under the sponsorsb ip of Lionel Robertson) resulted in the. formation of tlieé Chicago Art theater., Since Mr. Lazareffl' death, his wife has carried on, bravely to comýplete bis plans1 and hias built up a permanent .company composed of earnest teacliers and students, and a school which offers a great varietvy of theatrical training. *Mrs. Lazareff believes in creation rather than imitation,,and gives special attention to ensemble work. and daughter, Suzanne, of Detroit for two weeks.ý Mr. and Mrs. Toepel have returned to their home, accompan ied by Ned Koenig, who will remain i n De- troit until after the Gold Cup:races on Labor day.- a graduate. of Wi holds a Master's d( chusetts Instituteo date has been setf cd i5 ajid issa- No 11411110, 1061.
