fr October 20, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 27 Mrs. Riley Fashions Chinese Type Drama for Club's Classes Busy with the final writings of her play, "Little New Moon," which is the choice of the Evanston Drama club's Town and Gown play-writing classes for their first open meeting's presenta- tion, Alice C. D. Riley (Mrs. Harrison B. Riley) is engaged in creating a piece distinctly different from any of her previous works. She is preparing it for presentation after the manner of the Chinese theater. This means that stage fittings are imagined by the audience, that women are used for men's roles and men for women's roles, and pantomime is the important art. Three scenes from the play will be presented at the walking rehearsal of Tuesday morn- ing, Oct. 30--the opening scene in the market place, the boat scene, and the scene where the old man Key Fah climbs the mountain of the moon. The scenes have been partially cast. J Lincoln Gibson will take the part of the villain, Lee Sing; Mrs. Dean Farns- worth will be the little heroine, Key Wing; and Nadine Shepherson will take the romantic part of the lover. The play will be directed by Mrs. Chorpenning. It will have production at the School of Speech the first week in December. The presentation of Tuesday morn- ing will form the final half of the pro- gram at the first joint meeting of the two play-writing classes directed by the Drama club and the Town and Gown project recently taken over as a part of the curriculum of the School of Speech at Northwestern university. The first part of the program will be given to a discussion of New York and Chicago plays and plays written in the local classes, by Theodore B. Hinckley. The meeting will be from 10 to 12. All members of the classes are expected to be there, Drama club members will be admitted upon pres- entation of their cards, and, at a sea- sonal or single meeting fee, the pub- lic will be admitted. These joint meet- ings featured by Mr. Hinckley's lec- tures and the walking rehearsals of the plays will be held the last Tuesday of every month, Needle, Textile Guild Meets at Art Institute The Needlework and Textile Guild of the Art Institute has been fortunate in securing the services of Miss Dor- othy Hudson, of Hove, Sussex, Eng- land, to give instruction in needlework, and to lecture on the subject, begin- ning Monday, October 15, and con- tinuing for two months. Miss Hudson is a member of the Royal School of Needlework, of London, and lectures at the Victoria and Albert museum in London. A series of teas with informal talks has been planned by the Guild for its members this fall. The officers of the Needlework Guild are Mrs. Chauncey Borland, president; Mrs. Potter Palmer, vice-president; Miss Elizabeth McCormick, vice-president; Mrs. Gustavus Swift, secretary; Mrs. John W. Gary, treasurer; Mrs. John Borden, Mrs. Charles Schweppe, Mrs. E. Crane Chadbourne, Mrs. John H. Winterbotham and Mrs. Harry Shear- son, members of the board. Former Wilmette Youth Wins School Golf Title Lawrence Thalman, formerly of Wil- mette and now of Evanston, won the golf championship of Campion college, Prairie du Chien, Wis, in a tourna- ment played there recently. Mr. Thal- man was graduated from St. Francis school last spring and is a freshman at Campion this year. In winning the tournament he defeated the Campion college golfer who had held the title for two successive years. Haven Gridders in Double Win Over Kenilworth Teams Football teams of the Joseph Sears school in Kenilworth lost two games to the Haven school of Evanston last Thursday. The scores were 6 to 0 in the 85-pound division, and 19 to 0 in the 100-pound division. In the 85- pound class the lack of signal practice was the chief reason for Kenilworth's defeat, according to Robert W. Town- ley, director of athletics at the school. Haven's lone touchdown in this game was made on a fumbled triple pass. In the other game, however, the score gives a fair representation of the com- parative strength of the teams, Mr. Townley stated. The North Side branch of the Chi- cago Alumnae chapter of Sigma Kap- pa will meet at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the home of Miss Kresse Chase of 1900 Sunnyside avenue, Chicago.
