OCIALACTIVITIES Youthful Movie Actors Present "Adrift" Monday HE "moving picture room" of the Rush C. Butler home on Locust road will open its doors at 8:30 o'clock Monday eve- ning, August 18, for the first showing of "Adrift," a two-reel religious drama of fifty years ago written, directed, and produced by Elbridge Anderson and Crilly Butler. Ever since the close of school, about 100 pupils of the North Shore Country Day school have been thronging over the grounds of the Butler place as energetically as real movie actors at the becl and call of their directors, to assume their roles before Crilly But- ler's own moving picture camera. Some of the scenery for the picture, 2,000 feet in length, was the work of the youngsters them- selves. One scene was taken in Lake Forest, and several at differ- ent Winnetka homes that suited the story's needs. Most of the story, however, has taken its settings from the home and grounds Elbridge Anderson and Beulah Stixrud take the leading parts. Contrary to the premieres of most productions, a very nominal admission charge has been decided upon by the youthful producers.
