October 16, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 21 Play Writing Class Resumes Activities at Annie Swift Hall The Play Writing class, a north shore organization which is unique in the country, has begun its fall activi- ties. Originally a project of the Drama club of Evanston, it was taken | over by Northwestern university and became the most fundamental phase of the work of the Northwestern Play Shop, modeled after the 47 Harvard Work Shop made famous by its leader, George C. Baker. The Play Writing class, however, re- tained its mature character, its dis- tinctly "Town" rather than "Gown" flavor. Although undergraduate classes in play writing were established in the School of Speech, and the facilities of the stage in Annie May Swift hall and the aid of student directors and actors were obtained through the affiliation with the university, still the Play Writ- ing class kept as its nucleus a group of experienced writers who were in- terested in dramatic writing. From ten to twelve every Tuesday morning a group of almost fifty wom- en and a few men meet in the Studio room of the Evanston Woman's club to study the technique of drama under the leadership of Theodore B. Hinck- ley, editor of the Drama Magazine, former secretary of the Drama League of America and popular lecturer on the theater all over the country. Writ- ing is not required and a portion of the class consists of women who have small confidence in their creative tal- ents but who have a live interest in the theater and in the technique of the drama. These comprise a critical audi- ence for the reading of original scenarios and manuscripts. After a play has been read in the class, critized and perhaps rewritten, it goes to the producing end of the Play Shop. It is given a class pro- duction to prove its acting qualities. It is probably rewritten again from this angle, and if it proves of sufficient merit, it is given an evening public performance, and in some sseac pus i performance, and in some cases is pub- lished in a series entitled "Northwest- ern Play Shop Plays." Members of the class come from all the north shore suburbs and from Chi- cago as it meets a need not met in any other way. Indeed the opportunity is one duplicated rarely, if ever, in any part of the country. New members join at each of the sessions as each day's work is more or less a unit in itself and absences give the member the privilege of bringing guests on her membership ticket. Registration may be made at any time with Mrs. Carlos Andrews or Mrs. Harrison B. Riley, 1822 Sheridan road, Evanston.
