Fifteen women took the course. Some of the subjects of his lectures were: *"Com- munity Theater Management," "Stage Technique," "Picturization," "Tempo," "Emphasis," "Reading of Comedy," and "Stage Management." So successful was the coures that the Community Players are planning a series of courses by Mr. Dean for next year. Some of the courses to be offered will probably be "Make Up," "The Contemporary Theater," and "Play Con- struction." Mr. Dean, in addition to being a mem- ber of the faculty of Northwestern uni- versity, is director of the North Shore Theater Guild. Previously he was di- rector of the Little Theater of Dallas, Texas and director of dramatics at the University of Montana. He appeared on the professional stage in company with John Drew, Rose Coghlan and Margaret Illington. He is a graduate of the "47 Workshop" of Harvard univer- sity. He has been a special lecturer for the Drama League Institute and the University of Michigan and has written many articles on play production for The Drama and other magazines. His one act play, "Just Neighborly" has just come out in book form. IN PEP SESSION Improvement Association Starts Clean-up Drive Prof. William IL. Bailey, head of the department of sociology at Northwestern university, and the man who recently selected Winnetka as the model suburban community of the United States, spoke before the annual meeting of the Hub- bard Woods Improvement association held at the Hubbard Woods school on Friday night of this week. The subject of his address was "I'he Making of an Ideal American Community." At this meeting the suggestions for the improving of the Hubbard Woods station environs, which is being under- taken on a large scale by the citizens of the vicinity, supported by the im- provement association, were read and discussed, and new suggestions were re- ceived. The association sent out letters to resi- dents of the district last week asking for contributions to carry on the work of improvement and also requesting sug- gestions as to what should be done. Ac- cording to officials of the association there has been an immediate response, and both contributions and suggestions have come in in large numbers. The entire program of improvements was outlined at the meeting and many new suggestions were taken into consider- ation. The question of parking space at the station was left to the Park board, as it was felt that it could be ture foot trouble.

AD Elm & Linden LEE SAYS: YESTERDAY a lady came INTO our store and TOLD us that she didn't WANT to buy anything IN PARTICULAR but that SHE did want to tell us THAT she certainly did APPRECIATE the way we HAD always treated her AND that she enjoyed TRADING with us, and while WE frequently hear such COMPLIMENTS we couldn't HELP thinking when she LEFT the store how good A LITTLE praise like THAT makes us feel and HOW few people indulge IN IT; for so many folks NEVER think of COMPLIMENTING anybody BUT when a chance comes ALONG to criticise THEY'RE on hand with EVERY cylinder workin', AND so we've made up our MIND to hand out a bouquet WHENEVER we can instead OF throwing bricks.
