The plact was the New Evanston theater, Fountain Square, Evanston. The occasion was the opening presentation of "Ann," the latest dramatic work of Mrs. Alice C. D. Riley of Evanston, presented b. r Lake Shore Productions. Mrs. Riley shared the honors of thL· evening with Miss Peggy Fitch, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Fitch, ~16 Cumnor road, Kenilworth, who played the title role in "Ann." This performance marked Miss Fitch's debut with the Lake Shore players, whom she has joined after many Eastern successes.

After a deal of persuasion, the author was enticed to the footlights wh en· she was introduced by J. E. Hutchison, managing director of the company.
