40 WINNETKA TALK May 5, 1928 Play of Paleolithic Era to Close Art League Season North Shore Public to Be Guest of Art League on May 10 By B. B. Why did a worthy bird like the dodo become extinct while the * English sparrow we have always with wus? What were the beginnings of the arts and crafts, interior decorating and the highbrow movement? How and why did feminism, the uplift, the mechanical age, get their start? What was the well dressed Babbitt wearing in the year one billion B.C.? What was the response to the cosmic urge in the happy pre-complex paleolithic days? All these questions and many others are answered in the play "As It Was in the Beginning" to be given by the Wilmette Barnstormers as the final program of the North Shore Art league. The meeting will be held in Matz hall, Winnetka, at 8 o'clock, on May 10, and is open to the public. The play, which is directed by Miner Coburn, will be presented by the same "all-star" cast that is to appear in it at the Goodman theater on the afternoon of May 8: Paley O'Lith ..........

All beverages are by Jupiter Pluvius. This play was translated by Mrs. J. A. Burrill of Wilmette, from the original fragments of what seems to have been the diary of a prehistoric flapper. Although audiences have seemed to derive considerable enter- tainment from it, this is all velvet, the purpose of the play being purely didac- tic, intended to chasten and enlighten. The costuming and settings, by Mrs. A. J. Coburn and Mrs. James A. Burrill, are the result of arduous and exhaustive study of that high and far- off time, and aid greatly in giving a sincere and serious presentation of the domestic life of our first families. The Art League extends a cordial invitation, not only to artists and art lovers, but to those who simply know what they like, to come see this play, free, gratis, for nothing, without money and without price, on May 10, at 8 o'clock, at Matz hall, Winnetka.
