i 3) § 3 4 July 14, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Il. FROLIC FOR CHILDREN National College Preparing for Annual Midsummer Event to Be Held at "Craigie Lea" July 23 (Contributed) Mrs. Caroline Crawford McLean and Miss Willmina Townes, both members of the Summer school fac- ulty of the National Kindergarten and Elementary college, are co-chairmen of the production and presentation of this year's "Children's Midsummer Frolic" to be held at 3:30 o'clock Mon- day, July 23, at "Craigie Lea," 459 Longwood avenue, Glencoe, the home of Mrs. Andrew MacLeish. Mrs. McLean of Fairhope, Ala., is widely known and admired for her valuable contributions to childhood education ag an authority on "The Re- lation of the Arts to Life and Charac- ter." She is a most scholarly and brilliant lecturer and author present- ing the various aspects of her chosen subject. She is a thorough child psy- chologist having had the inspiration of years of close association with Col. Parker, Dr. John Dewey and other famous educators and as a valued member of the faculties of Columbia university and of the National Kinder- garten and Elementary college. She is most original in the production and presentation of dramas and festivals. She arranged and taught all the dances in "The Blue Bird" as pre- sented at the New Century theater in New York, and co-operated with Winthrop Ames in the production of "Prunella" and "Snow White" at the Little theater. Among her published works which are regarded as authoritative are: "Rhythms of Childhood," "Dramatic Games and Dances for Children" and "Choice Rhythms for Youthful Danc- ers." Her latest work on "The Arts in Child Education" will soon be off of the press. Miss Townes is a specialist in chil- dren's games and rhythms, and is a member of the faculty of the college and children's school. She is giving Mrs. McLean valuable aid so that the Frolic will be a culmination of work done in class room projects in dra- matic art, children's literature as well as rhythms, music and design and decoration. This gives it all a vital educational value to the student play- ers as well as to those who are present on July 23, when this delightful en- semble program is given. A very charming contribution is made each summer to the pleasure of north shore children when the Na- tional Kindergarten and Elementary college presents "The Children's Mid- summer Frolic." Monday, July 23, is the day and 3:30 the hour set for this year's enter- tainment when Mrs. Andrew Mac- Leish, a trustee of the college, again will welcome the children and older friends, as she did two summers ago, at "Craigie Lea," her beautiful Glen- coe home. Last year the Frolic had the lovely setting of lawn and gardens at Bluff Edge, Hubbard Woods, the home of Mrs. Douglas Smith. The beauty and artistry of the plays presented there by the college students is still a happy memory of the summer time a year ago. : What could be more enticing than the woodland setting for fairies, elves, brownies, and all the story book ani- mals, the bunnies, Brer Fox, and all the other favorites! Everyone is keen for a good time these lovely summer days and an afternoon at "Craigie Lea" with its famous gardens, with the lake as a background for the greensward stage, with the lilting song of wildwood birds and the story book friends come to life, ensures a joyous time not to be missed and never to be forgotten: Mr. and Mrs. George A. Fletcher and their daughter, Varley Lee, of 147 Chestnut street, returned recently from Kansas City, where they had been visiting Mrs. Fletcher's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Prewitt, and Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Fletcher. The latter, who are Mr. Fletcher's parents, returned with them by motor and after visit- ing here about a month both families will leave for New Jersey. --n The T. N. Wheatleys, who have been living in Evanston at the Ridgeview hotel for the past year, have returned to their home at 329 Fairview avenue. WARM WEATHER calls for certain, well-balanced foods--QUALITY, rather than quantity. THE PANTRY with its established reputation for serving only that which is GOOD, will serve you in a pleasing man- ner, Somehody has sald--*they serve such delicious Ples and Cakes." 524 DAVIS ST., EVANSTON Ta July id Sr -- ---------- Evanston Shop Open Saturday Evenings Only during July and August Henry C.Lytton & Sons CHICAGO--State and Jackson Now nz Pro gress Throughout Our Evanston Shop Tremendous Savin gs on SUITS, SHOES and FURNISHINGS for Every Man and Young Man -- for Parents of Every Boy All Merchandise advertised in the Chicago Papers is also on sale in 0000000080 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000 cccsssosl a TEE@) HUB EVANSTON--Orrington and Church Clearances Our Evanston Shop COCK XX OOOO K ee ee Ee EE et 0 0 8 st tees esse ses cobs sees 0 tess oes sooo sb00s000c000000 ce. 0000000
