- March 10, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 23 Display Stage Art for Next Play at Children's Theater That the Children's theater has a real artist in its production manager is a fact commented upon by all who have been attending the plays at Haven school theater, Evanston, this season. The settings of the Childrens theater of Evanston are generally admitted to be as lovely and imaginative as can be seen in any children's theater in the country. At the small cost made necessary by the low rate of admission, Dean Farnsworth, of the School of Speech and Haven school, has designed and executed scenes which again and again call forth rapturous "ohs", from the children, and spontaneous applause from the adults. Students from the School of Speech make up the construction and produc- tion crews of the Children's theater, and so valuable do they consider the experience under his direction that a most efficient permanent stage staff has been built up. Ruth Broan, as assistant production manager, Alice Grantham as construction manager, Douglas Bryant as electrician, Richard Hadley as stage manager, Joe Shikany as make-up director and Bernadine Kenison as property manager, are some of the capable workers who make the production end of the thea- ter what it is. In "The Poor Little Rich Girl," to be presented at Haven school March 10 and 17, some unusual problems have been worked out. The first act is realistic, but changes suddenly near the end when the sleeping medicine begins to work on the little girl, and she thinks she is in the Tell-Tale forest. In a few seconds, in which things get black to her, and she thinks she hears the rumbling of thunder, the scene must change, with- out the closing of curtains, from the reception hall of Gwendolyn's home to the Tell-Tale forest, where she thinks she is wandering. With very simple devices, Mr. Farnsworth accomplishes the trans- formation. Comedy, pathos and fantasy combine to make it a play of great variety, while the characters are such as to delight all ages. There is the Italian organ- grinder, played by Clarence Westerlund, who has a most delightful '"make-be- lieve" scene with little Gwendolyn (Mary Frances Dodd), in which he pretends to be Rover, the dog. There is a jolly scene with the plumber (Dick Rose), who stops his work to play with her. And there are strange, fantastic scenes in the Tell-Tale forest, where she is wandering about in her dreams. And there is at last the scene which Mary Frances likes best of all--the scene in the nursery, when her parents come back to her, never to leave her again. The cast of fifteen men and girls from the School of Speech, and two children from the dramatic department of Haven school are having final dress rehearsals today and tomorrow, under the direction of Winifred Ward. The play opens Sat- urday morning at 10, and plays again at 2:30 in the afternoon, and at the same hours Saturday, March 17.
