The site of the new development, lies along Sheridan road between Wil- mette and Kenilworth in what is popu- larly known as "No Man's Land" be- cause it is not situated within either village. A new street, 75 feet wide, will be cut from Sheridan road through 883 Elm street, Winnetka, where she has for the past three years carried a line similar to that which she now has in one of the new store rooms in the Wersted block. Gowns, dresses, sport clothes and imported hand bags, flowers and novelties comprising the various lines in the shop.

Clark, of 8 East Huron street, and a resident of Winnetka, who has been identified with much that has been done to foster beauty in north shore development work, has de- signed the buildings. Construction will start probably next week, about September 20, it is said, and will be pushed to completion by May 1, 1927. The theater already has been leased and applications are being received for the stores, the backers declare. Mr. Clark chose the Spanish Colonial style of architecture for the new struc- ture. He has been in consultation with other property owners of the district and the plans have been worked out in a spirit of co-operation to assure harmony of design, color and height. Stucco, red tile roofs, and bright tile trimmings will be the materials used. Theater to Seat 1,400 The theater will seat 1,400 persons. Its triple entrance arch shadowed loggia and deep-reveal windows will be suggestive of the quaint old Missions of the Pacific Coast. Across the street, arched entrances and a low square tower will keep the architectural ef- fect of the stores in unison with the theater. The syndicate promoting the new development includes Ayres Boal, Al- fred T. Carton, Edwin H. Clark, Man- cel T. Clark, Harry C. Edmonds, H. O. Edmonds, Frederick H.
