Evenings o "BROWNIES" A DELIGHT Hundreds of North Shore Children View Production With Fascinated Eyes By CRITIC Children, hundreds of them, with a mother here and a father there, filled the auditorium of Harrison hall for the two performances of "The Brownies" given by the student players of the National Kindergarten and Elementary college last Saturday, making the play a tremendous success from the point of enthusiasm and enjoyment as well as numbers. The auditorium has a seating capacity of 750, and there was scarcely a vacant seat for either per- formance. Delighted laughter greeted the ap- pearance of ragged, happy-go-lucky Tommy and Johnny, whose antics and mischief seemed to prove their father's contention that "Bairns are a burden." Granny insisted, however, that "bairns are a blessing," and told of the brown- ies who once helped to keep the house clean, and whose desertion was to blame for all the bad luck. Tommy set out that night to find the brownies, and the children in the audience shiv- ered with delighted awe as he made his way to the moor where glowing fireflies danced, black bats swooped and hovered and great bull-frogs croaked and capered, and they were as delighted as he when the wise old owl up in the tree told him who the brownies are and where he could find one. The younger children were particu- larly fascinated with the "animals" as the; called them, and one child after another piped up with "Hello, Mr. Frog," "Hello, Mr. Owl." "Can they fly ?" "What makes them so big, moth- 8 ed Merriment ran high as Tommy and Johnny, following the owl's advice, turned brownies, tidied up the house and set the table for breakfast and scampered back to bed before father or grandmother appeared on the scene, and the excitement and delight at the final discovery of the identity of the brownies was quite contagious. Luncheon, which followed the morn- ing performance, was served to about 300 in the gaily decorated kindergarten and nursery school rooms. Miss Betty Dubbs entertained twenty-eight little guests at a birthday luncheon party, and other parties completely filled the little tables with their dainty decora- tion of valentines and spring flowers. A group of twenty children from the Mary Crane Nursery school were the guests of Miss Edna Dean Baker and Miss Clara Belle Baker at the play, where a section was reserved for them, and they were later entertained at luncheon by other members of the faculty in a private dining room ad- joining the kindergarten. The play this year, and the interest displayed by alumnae and friends, equalled or surpassed that of previous vears in which a play for children has been given. Receipts and expenditures have not yet been totaled, but there is every promise that the play will more than take care of the amount still due on the pledge of the North Shore chapter of the Alumnae association to the college building fund for the current year. St. John's Lutheran church in Wil- mette and Trinity church in Glencoe will be represented at the quarterly sessions of the North Shore zone of the Walther league to beheld in Highland Park Sunday, February 20. Meetings will be held in the afternoon and evening in the Y. W. C. A. house at Highland Park. The Walther League is an organization of Luther- an young people. aN
