Is the one act play, which has
been largely responsible for the development of the Little Theater,
passing into the background? Certain indications point in that direction, and here in Westchester
County seven Little Theater groups
are using a full length play for the
opening bill of the season. A year
or so ago, practically every group
in the county depended on the one
act play for the opener.
And this is quite in line with the
plans of many of the largest Little
Theaters in the country, where one
act plays are relegated to the
studio, or are presented for public
view on rare occasions.
Quite obviously the full length
play is far more difficult to produce.
Among t h e s j difficulties is the task
of gathering together a volunteer
organization soon after the Summer season, to commence rehearsals for a long play. It would
seem that the Little Theaters are
holding their organizations together
better during the Sumer now than
in the past as they are now able
to launch into the difficult productions right at the start of the season.
Westchester County's
Little
Theaters are growing.
The Crestwood Workshop Players will present three one act plays
next Friday evening at the Asbury
Community House, Crestwood. The
three plays are "Fame and the
Poet" by Lord Dunsany; "Lonesome Like" by Harold Brighouse;
and "Square Pegs" by Clifford Bax.
The cast of "Fame and the Poet"
includes Frank Black and Mrs.
Egbert White; Mrs. Marien Hayward, Mrs. J. S. Chapman, Jr., and
Rupert Waite will play in "Lonesome Like" and Mrs. Letitia Raymand and Mrs. George Pawley in
"Square Pegs." The plays are being directed by Mrs. Bruce Cyr,
general director of the organization.
The Workshop Players is a new
group which was started last season. They plan to give four subscription performances this season.
At present they have 32 subscribing
members with hopes of many more
before the first performance.
The Mount Vernon Community
Players are ready with their production of "The Last of Mrs.
Cheyney" for next Friday and
Saturday nights. The cast is holding almost daily rehearsals under
the direction of Nat ^ \ \ Morrow,
Jr. The staging crew is building
several very lovely sets in the Martin Jenter Studio and t h e "props"
committee under the direction of
Mercy Wheeler is assembling the
properties necessary to create the
atmosphere of beautiful English
homes. Laura Jean Weigle is in
charge of the costuming of the
play.
The players taking part in the
production are Florence Aitken
Tompkins, Millicent Disco, Ethel
Archer, Gene Storms, Laura Morrow, Seymour Chahiberlaln, Marcus Simpson. Anthony Seltz, Arthur
Spears, Keene Brundage, Robert E.
Wilkinson, William Chamberlain
and Gladden Evans.
At present the Community Players has 190 subscribing members.
This is the second largest number
of subscribing memberships to be
secured by any Little Theater
group in the county.
The Eastchester C o m m u n i t y
Players, und^r the direction of the
Recreation Commission, will hold
their first executive meeting of the
season next Tuesday evening. At
that meeting the first bill of plays
will be announced by the play reading committee and will then be cast
and put into rehearsal immediately.
Miss Vivian Wills, who is in charge
of the group announces that many
of the members are planning to
attend the Drama Conference in
White Plains October 31 and Noverber 1.
Community Players seems to be
a favorite name with Little Theater
Groups. W e have in Westchester
County, The Mount Vernon Community Players and the Eastchester
Community Players.
Connecticut
has the Greenwich Community
Players. Rochester, N. Y., has its
community player group and far
off Omaha, Nebraska, also has a
Community Players. S t r a n g e l y
enough the Omaha group issues a
paper called the Prompter which
is very like the Prompter issued by
the Mount Vernon Community
Players.
From this Prompter,
which the Omaha group sends to
Little Theaters throughout the
country, we learn that they are
producing "Cock Robin," the mystery melodrama which was given
by the Wayside Players of Scarsdale and by the Westchester School
of the Drama during the past year.
The play had only a fair success on
Broadway but, it it continues to
be a favorite with Little Theaters,
Phillip Barry and Elmer Rice will
make a nice little fortune in royalties.
Rehearsals for the "thrilling,

chilling,
mystery
play
known as "The Inner Circle,"
which the Cosmo Players will present November 14 are going on
apace.
We intimated
several
keews ago that the tflay was a
blood curdler and later reports
seem to confirm our opinion. If
you have a weak heart stay away
from the Westchester Woman's
Club November 14, but if you like
to shiver get in line.
Players who will appear In the
performance are Jack McMahan,
Margaret Schroter, Marsden Courtland, Gennaro Credendtno, Genevieve Lyons, Dorothy Petrillo, Lillian Stoops, James Mclvor, Joseph
Bertuch, James S. Shevlln, Le Roy
Dow and Eugene Mahaney.
Don't forget the Drama Conference which the Westchester Drama
Association Is holding at th« County
Center on October 31 and November 1. Bulletins have been sent to
all members of Little Theater
groups announcing the program for
the conference. Considerable Interest is being shown in the Saturday morning session which is a
conference on Drama In the High
School, with Olive Dillon. Director
of Drama, Ev«nd»r Chllds High
School, New York City, as the
speaker. Several high schools In

Tewi: October
Activities In the Westchester
Woman's Club this past week were
somewhat curtailed by the holiday
on Monday. The Civics—Education Department, which was scheduled to meet a t 1:30 P. M. in the
Small Assembly, postponed, its
meeting because the speaker, Mark
N. Stiles, was unable to be pre:
sent.
Mrs. Frederick R. Hirsn
chairman of
the
department,
announces that the same program
will be given at the next meeting to
be held on the second Monday In
November.
Also due to the holiday, and the
inability of M. Edgar Fowlston to
be present, the Instrumental Music
Department postponed its meeting.
Mr. Fowlston, assisted by some of
his associate artists, were to have
given selections from the opera
"Lucia de Lammermoor."
It is
hoped that this program, also, will
be given at a later date.
On Tuesday, October 14, at 10
A. M., the Glee Club held its regular weekly rehearsal. Mrs. Joseph
G. Lawler is chairman. The next
rehearsal wil take place on Monday,
October 20, at 1 P. M., ,just before
the Home Economics program, In
which the Glee Club will sing.
The most important event of the
week, and perhaps the most important of the club year, was the
President's Reception and Luncheon which took place on Wednesday, October 15. The club house
was beautifully decorated with
autumn flowers and brightly colored leaves, and the newly decorated Grill Room and Small Assembly were much admired.
Everything had been completed for this
event, and certainly the club house
never looked
more
attractive.
From 12:30 to 1. Mrs. Charles F.
Herb, the new president, and her
officers, greeted the club members
and honored guests. At 1, everyone had assembled for the luncheon. At the president's table were
her officers:—Mrs. Frederick W.
Jenkins, first vice-president; Mrs.
Carl C. Muenzen, second vice-president; Mrs. Alfred Jenkins, recording secretary; Mrs. William S. Coffey, corresponding secretary; and
Mrs. George Barrow, treasurer.
Also at the table were three Past
Presidents o f t h e Westchester
Woman's Club: Mrs. W i l l i a m
Purdy, Mrs. W. E. Breckinridge,
and Mrs. Arthur M. Johnson. Mrs.
Purdy is also an ex-President of
the New York State Federation of
Women's Clubs, and Mrs. Breckinridge is an e—President of the
Westchester County
Federation.
Other honored guests were the
presidents of nearby clubs: Mrs.
McClure of the Tuckahoe Woman's
Club; Mrs. Lewln of Port Chester;
Mrs. Schreiner of Crestwood; Mrs.
Longley of the Manor Club; Mrs.
Bethell of Scarsdale; Mrs. O'Daniel
of Bronxvllle; Mrs. Ewing of New
Rochelle; Mrs. Sanford of Mamaroneck; Mrs. Mulligan of Larchmont; and Mrs. Gridley Adams,
an ex-President of the New Jtochelle Woman's Cluh and aow
President of the Wescthester Counter Federation.
Mrs. Herb spoke a few words
of .greeting t o the guests after
which the Glee Club sang. "The
Grace." During the luncheon, Mrs.
Purdy, Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Breckinridge, and Mrs. Johnson, spoke
briefly. After luncheon, Mrs. Herb
introduced the presidents of the
nearby clubs, and also her own
official family. Mrs. Thomas Swift
announced that the Current Events
lecturer for this year would be
Professor William Starr Meyers of
Princeton—well known everywhere
as a speaker, and a lecturer at
Town Hall In New York. The first
of the series will be on October 31.
The success of the luncheon-must
be credited to a great extent to
Mrs. William W. Howland, who
was chairman. Mrs. Howland's
committee included Mrs. William
G. Glauss, Mrs. Albert B. Eckerson,
Mrs. Le Roy Malcolm. Mrs. Thomas
A. McKennell, and Mrs. Rollin C.
Wilson. Her hostesses were Mmes.
Campbell, Cruger, Clark, Rose,
Murray, Eckerson, Heydecker, Hopping, Banta, Miles, Lang, Walter,
Leech, Rogers, Martin, and Harder.
Mrs. John O. Ekblom was chairman of decorations assisted by Mrs.
John R. Toy*. The Flower Shoppe
which furnished the flowers, donated a beautiful centerpiece for
the president's table. The ClareBelle catered for the luncheon.
Mrs. Harry J. Mold, chairman of
the program, was introduced by
Mrs. Herb. Mrs. Mold, in introducing her artist, Miss Marie Bashian,
said that she had been very anxious
to have her appear at the Woman's
Club again, since she had been so
well received at a recital here several years ago.
History aparently repeats itself,
because Miss Bashian's audience
was delighted with her song recital "The Pageantry of Folk Lore."
She is a person of rare charm and
personality, and her songs were
well chosen and extraordinarily
well sung. She has a very clear,
melodious voice—singularly well
fitted to the folk songs she sings.
In her Russian and American sPnga,
particularly, she expressed the
mood and feeling of these peoples.
The native costumes in which she
appeared added a
picturesque
touch, and provided additional
atmosphere.
In addition to her
well-trained voice and her lovely
costumes, the a u d i e n c e
was
charmed by her naive remarks on
the songs she sang, and her winning smile. Miss Bashian's accompanist. Miss Mary Olivia Robinson, also seemed a very charming
young woman, and pleased' the
audience with her piano selections.
The program was as folows:
Program: Part 1.—Have You
Seen a White Lily Grow? Old English; Love Lilt, Hebridean; Would
God I Were a Tender Apple Blossom, Old Irish; I"ve Been Roaming, Charles Horn; Chantons les
amours de Jean, Que falre alors,

Activities of the Club Women
On Friday. October 24, the Westchester County F e d e r a t i o n of
Women's Clubs will meet in Katonah, N. Y.,. Miss Gridley Adams
of New Rochelle is the president.
This is an annual event, very interesting to club women, because
it gives them a chance to meet,
compare notes, and discuss problems. Delegates from the Westchester Woman's Club are the president, Mrs. Charles F. Herb, Mrs.
Raymond K. Howe, Mrs. Wayne,
Mrs. Heydecker, Mrs. Daniel Hopping and Mrs. Bertrand J. Harder.
Alternates are Mrs. James C. Harding, Mrs. H. R. Lasher, Mrs. George

The Ways and Means Committee
of the New Rochelle Woman's Club
has announced Mr. Richard Burton
as the first lecturer of its morning
series. On October 24, at 10:15,
he will discuss current literature
and drama, recommending the best
new books and plays.
It is with regret that the women
of the county have heard that Mrs,
Charles Gregory of New Rochelle
has resigned as head of the Home
Making Center in the Grand Central Palace.
The Home Making
Center Is well worth a visit, and
there are all too many club women
who have never been there. There
is always something going on,—a
lecture, experiment, or demonstration of some kind—and all club
members are welcome. The Center
Is run by the New York State Federation of Women's Clubs. It Is
unique in America and has been
functioning for over five years.
During all this time Mrs. Gregory
