July 14, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 15 "Make-Believe," Milne Play, Offered July 27 at Children's Theater Pirates and princesses, fairy tale heroes and villains, a royal court and a desert island will all be seen in A. A. Milne's "Make-Believe," when it is presented by the Children's theater, Friday, July 27, at Annie May Swift hall, Northwestern university. The summer classes, in She s matics at the school of speech, Sram the direction of Winifred Ward, will give two performances of Milne's delightful play as a special Children's theater production. : Like all of Milne's works, from his Christopher Robin verse and his "Win- nie-the-Pooh" stories to his most sophisticated adult plays, "Make-Be- lieve" is whimsical and charming. Ten children and a butler are supposed to write the play and since the girls want it to be a fairy play or a royal ball and the boys clamor for a pirate play, they decide to have an act of each to suit everybody. First comes the fairy tale play, with the princess and her three suitors, the Red, Blue and Yellow Princes, and the king and queen, who provide a test to find out which has the kindest heart. The surprising result of the test works to the good fortune of the manly Woodcutter, and he--but what happens must not be told here! The pirate act takes place on an island in the south seas--a fascinat- ing island where all-day sucker trees grow and rattlesnakes do not hurt timid ladies. Here Oliver and Jill meet One-Eared Eric, the pirate chief, and his fierce band and have a succession of thrilling adventures. And last, and funniest of all, comes the act at the royal court, into which the children have put their old friends, Goldilocks and the littlest bear, Robin- son Crusoe, Red Ridinghood and Baron Bluebeard. Into this act Milne has put his most imaginative and humorous touches, some of which are so de- liciously subtle that adults enjoy them even more than do children. The players for "Make-Believe" have been chosen trom both the adult and children's dramatic classes in the school of speech. More than half of the 40 characters are children, one of them being only seven years old. The play is being directed and pro- duced by the Children's theater class, made up of 35 children's directors and taught by Miss Ward and Dean Farns- worth, director and production man- ager of the Children's Theater of Ev- anston.

The attacks occurred about the same time. The bombs were thrown at the Cot- tage and the brickbats at the Villa De Metre. Those in charge of the refreshment places were unable to assign any defi- nite reason for the vandalism. William De Metre, proprietor of the Villa De Metre, stated that this was the second attack on his place within the last two months. On the first day that he opened his building after it had been remodeled recently bricks were also thrown at the structure. According to John Anton, one of the owners of the Cottage, the bomb throwing is the second one in ten days.
