April 14, 1928 "WINNETKA TALK 63 Jack and Jill Theater Plans New Building The Jack and Jill theater, located at 943 Rush street, Chicago, was formed about fifteen months ago in an at- tempt to find a real and workable answer to the question of "Where is there available an inexpensive theatric- al entertainment--especially for the children?" As youth was found to begin at three years and never in joy to grow old, two acting companies were formed; one of children to give entertainment to children under sixteen years and the other to give more mature per- formances. During the fifteen months experi- mental work the theater has given out- let and expression for dramatic and emotional talent and instincts of the many young people engaged directly in acting and indirectly as audiences. It has also been possible to revive many fine old plays and serve as a proving ground for many Chicago playwrights. Even in cramped quarters it has be- come a social center for over two hun- dred people. Because it was felt that movies, ex- cept on rare occasions, are too stim- ulating emotionally for children, the children's company was formed as an experiment. As an outgrowth of this experiment arises the plan to build for the children a theater of their own-- in their own terms and interpreted by actors of their own age. 4 Plans for this theater are now nearly completed by the Edwin D. Krenn ar- chitectural office and the structure will be started as soon as a plan for financ- ing it can be arranged. J. Fred McGuire and his daughter, Florence Louise, of 565 Sheridan road, came home Wednesday from a Medi- terranean cruise of about three months. Mrs. McGuire, who was in Florida while the rest of the family took the cruise, returned last week.
