Tall, dignified and gaily colored hol- lvhocks of crepe paper, arranged gracefully in green vases, helped to transform the living room of Mrs. Harrison B. Riley's home in Evans- ton into a garden last Tuesday after- noon, June 5, when the weather man slipped up on the perfect June day he had promised the Town and Gown playshop of the Drama club of Ev- anston and the School of Speech of Northwestern university for its theater garden party. Bouquets of red gladi- oli, greens, a squatty bird bath and a garden bench helped to establish a charming garden atmosphere for the two hundred or more guests present. Theodore Hinckley, of the playshop, gave a brief welcome, which he ex- pressed as being "ardent though damp." Miss Harriet Allyn, who recently made such a success as the mother in "The Undercurrent," the prize win- ning play in the Drama League tourna- ment a few weeks ago, gave several character sketches. The first was a Norwegian dialect sketch of a Nor- wegian mother who took her small son, Axel, to the County fair. Her second gave a glimpse of an old New England woman in her vegetable gar- den. As an encore, Miss Allyn later showed in costume how one of the Montana ranch women she knew might act if she tried to board one of the Chicago elevated trains. Miss Allyn's work is of the best, and her characters are minutely worked out so that they are entirely convincing. Her sense of humor pervades these sketches, which she has written from her own observations. She was very enthusiastically greeted. Grant Mitchell, star of "The Baby Cyclone" company, was the guest of honor, and gave an informal address. He talked with spontaneity and wit, touching on various phases of the theater. He personally felt that Chi- cago audiences were more responsive and attentive than New York audi- ences, possibly, he said, because Chi- cago people don't rush about quite so hard as New Yorkers. His talk was most interesting and was thoroughly enjoyed. Mrs. Riley's delightful one-act play, "The Weathervane Elopes," was pre- sented by Gladys Pfeffer, as the weathervane; Miss Katherine Jones, the fountain; Mrs. Theresa Gross Thomas, the owner of the garden; and John Lennon, as Andrew, the gar- dener. The production was by Mrs. Carlos S. Andrews. The spirit of deli- cate phantasy was carefully carried out § | by the actors, and the play itself is always enjoyed for its whimsical touch. "Tulips and tea, peonies and punch" were announced for the close of the afternoon, and in this Mrs. Riley was assisted by Mrs. Carlos Andrews, Mrs. Charles Lincoln Bartlett, Mrs. Cyrus Garnett, Mrs. John Meaker, Jr., Mrs. Edwin Pierce, Mrs. Theresa Gross Thomas and Miss Margaret Walsh. Aimee Shop Acquires Adjoining Store Space The Aimee shop, 568 Lincoln ave- nue, has leased the adjoining shop at No. 570, making a total frontage of thirty feet. The Aimee shop opened September 1, 1926, in its present loca- tion. A year later it acquired the only additional available space, when two fitting rooms were added from space gained in depth, by breaking through the back wall. The business continued to increase, and with it came the op- portunity to obtain the adjoining shop, above mentioned, which now gives adequate accommodation to its patrons.
