. ER SNe sala, December 15, 1928 WINNETKA TALK RRR RRR RRR, 75 "Little New Moon" to Bring New Ideas to Playshop Stage Features in play production that are in many ways new to little theater use in the Chicago field, will color "Little New Moon," the Chinese fantasy which Alice C. D. Riley (Mrs. Harri- son B. Riley) has written to have premier production in Evanston this week, Tuesday it was given at the Evanston Woman's club (a review will appear elsewhere in this issue), and Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday it was given at the School of Speech, produced as the first of the season's Playshop pro- ductions; also the first Playshop ven- ture since the play-writing classes of that project became part of the cur- riculum of Northwestern university. In "Little New Moon" Mrs. Rilev has created something entirely dif- ferent from her other plays. She has used in its construction and in direc- tion of its production, a knowledge of methods used in the Chinese theater, gained in course of her residence in southern California where she owns a home and where she spends several months of the year. She employs in her play's produc- tion the Chinese method of seeking to tell a story sympathetic to the ideals of the audience, by actors with spoken word and bodily action, upon a stage, before an audience, It will carry a symbolistic stylization by which the Chinese present their plays. With em- ployment of this method, where stage settings and other features are largely to be imagined by the audience, the latter is required to take part in the play. Costumes rich and lovely with their symbolism, music most appealing and appropriate, written for the play by Mrs. Riley's daughter, Dorothy Riley Safest of all ways to cleanse Eyes. Needs no insanitary Eye cup Eye cups gather dust and germs: often they transmit infection. No wonder millions are forsaking them for the more hygienic and more convenient Murine method of cleansing eyes. Murine is applied with its com- bination eye dropper and bottle stopper. A few drops are suffi- cient to cleanse your eyes and make them clear and bright. Murine contains no belladonna or other harmful ingredients. Try it! R th 5 EYES Brown of Winnetka, picturesque dances to be supplied by people from the dancing classes of the School of Speech, which is also supplying mem- bers of the cast, the director, Mrs. Chorpenning, and others assisting, music by the "Chinese" orchestra and other interesting items unusual in Playhouse production, feature the pro- duction. The Beta chapter of the Alpha Phi sorority of the Northwestern univer- sity held its formal dance at the Club Vista del Lago last Friday evening. Tri-Ship Club Busy With Plans for New Club Room The Tri-Ship club of New Trier High school is going ahead with plans to fur- nish its new 54x19 club room in the Leslie F. Gates gymnasium addition re- cently dedicated. The boys expect to have their club room furnished by the end of the Christmas vacation, accord- ing to Donald Frisbie, faculty sponsor. The club room, which is well suited to the chief purpose it will serve as a meeting place for all boys of the school, will be equipped with furniture which is both modern and comfortable. The total cost of the undertaking will be in the neighborhood of $2,500. Half of this amount has been promised by a resident of the township, provided the boys collect the other half. They have already raised $650, mostly in dollar pledges from boys in the school. If the club can succeed in collecting $200 in gifts from other sources, the remain- der will be taken from the club treas- ury. One Policy The Bell System and the Public HE Bell System recognizes the public require- ment for a constantly extended and improved tele- phone service. To provide this service it has enlisted the savings of hundreds of thousands of investors. In addition to its obligation to the public it has an obliga- tion to its stockholders. The only sound policy which will meet these obli- gations is to continue to furnish the best possible service at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety. Earnings must be sufficient to assure the financial in- tegrity of the business. Anything in excess goes toward extending the service or keeping down the rates. The ideal of the Bell System, of which the Iinois Bell Telephone Company is a part, is the most telephone service and the best, at the least cost to the user. It accepts this responsibility as a public trust. ILLINOIS BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY BELL SYSTEM - Ome System - Universal Service
