HISTORICAL TEA A SUCCESS
Those who did not attend the His
torical Tea at the North Side YWCA,
last Friday, March 1, missed a fine so
cial evening. The tea tables were set
in the styles of the times of Martha
Washington. Gay Ninties, Today and
Tomorrow.
Rev. and Mrs. W. S. Metcalfe,
playing the parts of Martha and
George Washington, and Mrs. Charles
Solomon and Mrs. Louise Strawther
playing the parts of Abraham Lincoln
and wife, were very good. They were
dressed in clothes that have been in
the Emilies since the time they were
in style. Mrs. Earl Wheeler and Mrs.
H. S. Simmons, playing the parts of
hostesses for Martha Washington,
were just the ladies for the places.
They, with suitable dresses for the
occasion, and thc-ir pleasant smiles of
dignity.^, were very outstanding for
the evening.
The hostesses for the Gay Nineties
wer’ Mesdames Anna Burton, Ethel
Hughes, and Brownlow-Knight. and
they were truly good. Mrs. Knight
was a typical ‘Mae West’ in her out
fit.
The hostesses for the table of to
day were Miss Alice Hunter, Mes
dames Euby Reese-Gibson, Venus
St arms and Cloma Scott.
The hostesses for the table of to
morrow were Misses Ev.lyn Lucky,;
Mable King, Dorothy Scott, Olive
Willis, Edna Blair, Hazel Jackson and
Irene Harrold.
The Martha Washington table was
set with an old fashioned white tabl
cloth with a deep pink border and a
nice big cake as a center piece. Other
things on that tabic made it look as
the tables did in Washington’s times.
There were beautiful hatchet cookies,
an antique tea set and candl s.
The Gay nineties’ table was dressed
in a gay red cloth, seventy years old

service from this table was coffee and
ribbon sandwiches, made of colored
bread, sandwich spread and cream
chees .
The table of today was dressed in
a lovely lace cloth with gorgeous flow

white flowers as a center piece and
the very newest of silver and white
candles. The service was candies and

“Y" PLAYERS IN THEIR
ANNUAL PRODUCTION
-— i
t
By Henry R. Thomas
The “Y” Players presented their
third annual group of Negro plays
to an appreciative audience at St.
Benedict Church on February 25. The
plays were giv n under the direction
of Mrs. Dorothy Ware.
“Cruiter”, a prize winning play by
John Matheus, headed the group. The
setting was on a Georgia farm; the
plot and charact rization portrayed
well the feeling and sentiments which
have long been associated with the
southland. “Granny”, played with
unusual dramatic ability by Mrs. Mad
oline Stirling, was a lovable character
in spite of her pessimism. She placed
little confidence in what “Cruiter and
the No’th” had to offer. We might
have doubted the judgment of Granny
but never her sincerity.
Sonny, played by Mr. J. C. Harris,
with a great degree of naturalness
and feeling, was quite the opposite to
Granny. He was eager to leave the
farm, and to take a chance with Mr.
Cruiter and the No’th. Hi felt that
there was little to be lost by taking
a chance for “Us ain’t got nothin’ no
how.”
Sissy, the nice little wife of Sonny,
played bv< Miss Catherine Wiliams in
her usual commendable manner, found
herself in a dilemma. She wanted to
go no’th with Sonny, but she was
greatly troubl d over Granny’s refus
al to leave the farm.
'Cruiter, the recruiting agent for a
northern munition factory, was play
ed by Mr. Lloyd Lee with a degree of
feeling which recalled to one’s mind
the early activities of the Und r
ground Railroad and the northern
abolitionist. Sonn < and Sissy go with
Cruiter north. Granny refuses to I
leave her dog, Kay. behind. She re
mains on the farm, and Death takes
her to a greater promise land.
Another important character in th ;
play who proved himself to be a nat
ural pantomimist was Kay, the dog
that Granny would not leave behind.
Kay forgot no lines, and no language
but his own. At the end of the act
Kay took his bow by responding to
the applause of the audience with a
series of baritone barks.
The second play, “Suppressed De
sires,” was highly entertaining and
presented a modern theme. Stephen
Brewster, a young architect, played
by Mr. Alvin Goodwin with appro
priate interpretation, was constantly
being annoyed by the significance
which his wife Henrietta Brewster
gave to his slightest act. Every act;
being the manifestation of some sup
pressed desire deeply rooted in the
subconscious. Miss Margaret Dicker
son handled the part well; arguing
first as a psychoanalyst, and then
suddenly as a woman, laying aside her
theories of the subconscious, and hold
ing fast to that which she possessed
in consciousness. Mabel, the sister of
Mrs. Brewster, was ably played by j
Miss Fannie Lae Levison, who under
the tutorship of Mrs. Brewster soon
discovered that she no longer loved
her husband, and further had a sup
pressed desire for another man. Mrs.

Brewster had both Stephen and Mabel
gong Psychoanalytic; and things
went along smoothly until Mrs.
Brewster learned that Stephen and
Mabel had very pronounced suppress
ed desires for each other. Mrs. Brew
ster finally agrees to give up her
mania for psychoanalysis if Stephen
w'ould give up his suppressed desire
'or Mab*l. Mable then asks “What
am I to do with my Suppressed de
sire?” Stephen replies embracing
both: “Just keep on suppressing it.”
The fantasy, “The Man Who Died at
12 o'clock” was a blend of love, hu
mor, and tragedy. It was mostly
tragedy for Ole January Evans, a cun
ning, meddlesome, superstitious, old
man w.th a propensity for strong
drinks. Mr. John Williams was Ole
Evans, and depicted the inebriated
old sinner with 9uch ease and reality
that one found himself almost won
dering if Mr. Williams was not really
intoxicated. Of course, we knew
better.
Sally Evans, his granddaughter,
characterized by Miss Lavina Scott
in a very effective manner, was in
love with Charlie McFarland, a farm
hand. Mr. Eugene Murray was Char
lie, and was a likable devil through
out the play. Charlie was to marry
Sally when old Evans came home as
high as the Empire State Building.
Sally planned to frighten him. He
came home and Sally and Charlie
took advantage of his superstitious
nature. Sally convinces Ole Evans
that he is to die at twelve o’clock.
Shortly after the appointed hour,
Charlie appears disguised as the devil.
Evans asked for one more chance, and
promises to reform. So convincing is
the devil’s appearance, Evans almost
dies of fright. Sally and Charlie
equally frightened, revive the old man
by dashing water in his face. He con
fesses his evil deeds, tells where the
money can be found, and promises not
to interfere with the marriage. The
curtain falls, and this time Kayo joins
in the applause.
CHICAGO GUEST ENTERTAINED
Mr. Henry Bendford, of Portland.
Oregon, who was in the city for a few
days, entertained Mrs. Myra Bell, of
Chicago, with a four course dinner
Monday at 6 P. M. at the Mason and
