W. Thompson's neat sacrifice in the fourth accounted in- directly for three runs, and put New Trier well into the lead. Blanked until the fifth, Deerfield staged a rally in this chapter when the home team weakened for a mom- ent. Berbue, first man up, reached first on an error: Segard struck out, but another error gave Kress a life and advanced Berbue to second.

It had its first erformances Saturday at the Haven school auditorium where all the plays of the theater have been given this season. It will have its final performances next Saturday af- ternoon and evening. It is directed by Miss Winifred Ward of the North- western university School of Speech, who originated the juvenile dramatic project and has directed it since its inception two years ago. "Aladdin," adapted from the favorite old Arabian Nights tale, had its presen- tation in seven scenes, opening with the dreamings of the youth whom mother and relatives and friends could not un- derstand, but who eventually proved to them the value of holding fast to one's dreams, when magic powers became his wealth and happiness and a charming princess fulfilled his ambitions. Children Keenly Appreciative It is decidedly to the credit of Miss Ward and the art of the players whom she has instructed in these various pro- ductions, that juvenile Evanston has al- ready developed a discriminating acu- men regarding dramatic values. Atten- tion is fixed on the stage every second that the curtain is raised, and applause thunders when there is good reason for thunder, laughter ripples when laughter well might ripple, and other sympathies have their logical expression. The settings of the scenes in this play were worked out ingeniously and after the novelty of the newer stagecraft. Screens of silver and gold were used plentifully, and against them the group- ings of the cast, garmented with a su- perior eye as to both color motley and line of figure placement, presented a series of enchanting arrangements, free and natural in their actions, postures, gesturings, their intonations of voice and intelligent interpretation of roles. Light- ing was a distinctive item. Polished and Graceful Performance The work of Miss Eleanor Rice, direc- tor of dramatics at Roycemore, while in- cidental to that of the leading characters who figured throughout the play, was easily the most polished and graceful per- formance in her role of the Princess. Wave Richards as Jullenar, impetuous and impulsive little gamin playmate of Aladdin, did delightful work and _ Alad- din, actually Clarence Westerlund, was lithely excellent in his role. The part of the mother was played with exceptional skill by Alvina Krause, and the cast in its entirety gave a performance of much skill and attractiveness. Mention must be made of the winsome cluster of little children who so gracefully greeted the lost Aladdin during the sixth scene, and of their appealing good work. The playing between scenes by the or- chestra of the Haven school directed by B. F. Stuber was an outstanding feature of the occasion. The young players have an astonishing skill in their ensemble playing, and it is both interesting and entertaining accompaniment to these plays which are cast from the Thalian dramatic club of the School of Speech and the dramatic classes of the Haven school. The nork of the children's theater of Evanston is becoming known the country over, and Evanstonians who are un- familiar with its value as an entertain- ment and educational medium are miss- ing semething remarkably good: ip St. John's Lutheran Wilmette and Park avenue, Wilmette Herman W.
