March 3, 1928 WENNETKA TALK 19 Work on Children's Play Concluded at Dress Rehearsal Arrangements for the presentation of "Racketty Packetty House" in Harri- son hall of the National Kindergarten and Elementary college on Saturday, March 3, will be completed with the dress rehearsal on Thursday evening. This is the sixth annual presentation of a play for children by student players of the college. These plays, "On Fairies' Wings," "Pinocchio," "The Fire King" and "The Brownies" have all been successful, but by general vote of the children, "Racketty Packetty House" is the favorite. The cast, which numbers twenty of the most talented students in the college, has "played the play" until it has become second nature, and the actors apparently enjoy the perform- ance to the full Miss Mary Crush of Wilmette is ridiculously funny as Meg, one of the grotesque dolls of "Racketty Packetty House." Miss Armida Stew- art as Peg is equally laughable, while Miss Catherine Wilcox of Evanston is ideally suited to the role of the fairy Queen. The play has been staged under the direction of Miss Etta Mount, director of plays and pageants at the college, who has been in charge of the chil- dren's plays given by the students in previous years. Two performances of the play will be given, the first at 10:30 in the morning and the second at 2:15 in the after- noon. Dainty luncheons will be served between the morning and afternoon || performances, and luncheon parties, large and small, are the order of the day. The play is given in Evanston under the auspices of the North Shore chap- ter of the College Alumnae association of which Mrs. Alfred Bates of Evans- ton is president, and the proceeds will be applied on the chapter pledge to- ward the building fund. Tickets for the play may be secured from alumnae or through the college office, and res- ervations for the luncheon may be made with Miss Virginia Solbery at the college.

The program was delightfully and charm- ingly given. The compositions of Miss Fergus were most interesting, of a high musical order, and most entertaining to her audience. Miss Breytspraak played two violin numbers, being accompanied at the piano by Miss Fergus. These two numbers were also compositions by Miss Fergus. : Miss Fergus was assisted in giving her program by the Steinway Duo-Art, some of her readings being to the accompaniment of this instrument, while for others she played her own accompaniments. Mrs. Maine, Howard Perry of Portland, has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Rudolph Matz of 1005 Sheridan road. Mrs. Perry remained in Win- netka but a short time, returning to her home this past week.
