4 February I1, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 21 PROMOTE INTEREST IN SHAKESPEARE MEMORIAL Winnetka Women Participate in Project to Swell Fund for Stratford Theater in England Admirers of Shakespeare and his works in Winnetka and other suburban towns are showing much interest in the efforts of the American Shakespeare Foundation in Cook county which is co-operating with the Memorial fund in England to erect the new memorial theater at Stratford-on-Awvon. It is also planned to establish a permanent company of players to appear at the Stratford theatre during the spring and summer festival seasons and to tour America during the winter. Among those especially interested and active in the work of the American Shakespeare Foundation, are: Mrs. Francis A. Lackner, Mrs. Roswell B. Mason, Mrs. Dennis Crite, Mrs. G. A. Mason, Jr., Mrs. E. G. Trowbridge, Mrs. Arthur W. Cushman, Mrs. E. C. Andrews, Miss Helen A. Andrews. These Winnetka women recently at- tended the first affair of the Chicago committee at The Arts club, Chicago. Miss Ethel Barrymore was guest of honor and Horace J. Bridges, the prin- cipal speaker. Mrs. Hollister Sturges was selected for president and Eames McVeagh named treasurer. The Chi- cago depository is the Continental bank. Observe Shakespeare Week The Chicago committee is making special efforts for the observance of Shakespeare Week, February 13 to 20. The American Shakespeare book, a volume over five feet high, which al- ready contains the names of 7,000 con tributors to the fund, will be brought to Chicago. Chicago hopes to raise $100,000 as its share of the American fund of $1,000,- 000. The first tea brought pledges of several thousand dollars. It is pointed out that Shakespeare belongs to both America and England; in fact to the whole literate world, and in aiding this permanent and beautiful memorial to him everyone is sharing in the work of the Shakespearean tradition. From the standpoint of the majority of people of this country who might never have a chance to visit the Stratford theatre, the notable company which is to be formed, beginning this autumn, and which will play through America thus awakening a new interest in Shakespearean dramas, is of greatest appeal. Destroyed by Fire The famous Stratford theatre, a shrine for lovers of Shakespeare for the past 50 years, was destroyed by fire in 1926. An international competition for a design for the new theatre was ar- ranged and Miss Elizabeth Scott, 27 year old English woman, submitted the winning design.

Middleton, which will be presented by courtesy of the Threshold Players of Glencoe on guest night of the Woman's Library club, Thursday evening, February 16, at the Glencoe school auditorium.
