EXTEND COURSES FOR PLAY-WRITING GROUP Enthusiasm in the Evanston Play- writing class has secured for its mem- bers a five weeks extension to the reg- ular Spring course. This new term will consist of the usual meetings every Tuesday morning at 10 in the Evanston Public Library, commencing April 28, and will be an excellent opportunity for new members to prove the value of thc class to themselves. Under the direction of Theodore Bal- lou Hinckley, the "Theatre," or Play- writing class has attained a high degree of popularity with north shore women of literary interests, both those who write, or those wishing to develop their critical faculties. Plays written in the class are produced several times each year by the North- western University School of Speech in their Play-shop, under the direction of Alexander Dean, producer of the North Shore Theatre Guild successes. This week on Friday night members of the class and their friends are in- vited to a production in Annie May Swift hall, of three one-act plays writ- ten in the class during the winter; "Lydia Laughs Last" by Margaret Walsh of Evanston; "Cabbages" by Ed- ward Staadt, a university student, and "Seeing's Believing" by Martha Boyd Linn of Wilmette. Credits toward a university degree are among the benefits of the class, and next fall the opening program of the Evans- ton Woman's club's Art and Literature department will be a production of three one-act plays from the Spring and Sum- mer output of this ever interesting class. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rahning, for- mally of Winnetka, have moved into their newly built home in Ravinia.

Harman, Educator, Taken by Death Mrs. Caroline Tompkins Harman, wife of Richard J. Harman of Wilmette, died at the North Shore Health Resort, Winnetka, Friday afternoon, April 24, where she had been a patient since last November. She had been a resident of Wilmette for three years, formerly residing in Rockford, Ill, at which place for a number of years she had been promin-° ent in educational circles through her activities in ungraded rooms of the Rockford public school system. Dur- ing her residence in Wilmette she had done similar work in the public schools of Evanston and was actively engaged at the time she was stricken. Mrs. Harman was a graduate of the University of Illinois, and of Normal university, Normal, Ill, a woman of keen intellect and devoted to her work. Services were held Saturday after- noon at the residence, 730 Central ave- nue, and also at the home of her sis- ter, Mrs. A. C. Dooly of Downs, Ill, where she was born July 5, 1888. Mrs. Harman is also survived by another sister, Mrs. Floyd Scharf, of Bloom- ington, Ill, and her mother, Mrs. Mrs. Olive Tompkins, of Downs IIL BUSTER KEATON SMILES Buster is teaching the baby to smile, and every week is laugh week at the Keaton home. Those who declare that Buster Kea- ton never smiles, either on or off the screen would get a most amusing sur- prise if they could see Buster teaching his eldest son and heir, three-year-old Joe Keaton, how to smile. Each evening after the day is done at the studio, Buster takes the baby on his knee and draws up his face into all sorts of grimaces. Buster gets down on all fours and shows the baby how a laughing hyena looks when at work. Then he holds his sides and does a fat man chuckle until baby chuckles too. , their new home at 794 Lincoln avenue.
