DEDICATORY SERVICES TORE HELD SUNDAY Noted Churchmen to Be Speakers at St. Matthew Lutheran Church. EDICATORT services of the first unit of tho new St. fc..— l..‘ Matthew Lutheran Church at the corner of Oxford and E. New York Sts., will be held Sunday Fen. 7, with fitting services. Services will also be held during the week. In the fall of . 1908 ltev. J3m. Poppen was duly authorized to take steps to organize the congregation which now bears the name St. Matthew Lutheran Church. The organization of this congregation took place In a hall located at the corner of Eastern Ave. and E. Washington St. There were a few members that bar.ded themselves together and in the spring of 1909 called Rev. D. R. Honn as their pastor. In the fall of this same year the congregation purchased two lots at the corner of Hoyt Ave. and S. Randolph St. A chapel was erected on these lots and was dedicated on April 10, 1910. Rev. Em. Poppen and Rev. Harry P. Long assisted the pastor, Rev. D. R. Honn, in the dedicatory services. These pastors will take part in the dedication of the first unit of the new St. Matthew Lutheran Church. On Nov. 28, 1915, Rev. Honn accepted a call to the congregation at Ironton, Ohio. The congregation was without a pastor until June 25, 1918, on which day the present pastor, Rev. L. C. B. Fackler was installed. For some time the members realized that It would be well for the congregation If a better site would be purchased. The vestry was aur thorlzed to purchase the three at the southwest corner of Oxford and E. New York Sts. The next step taken was the appointing of a building committee, which consists of the pastor, the Rev. Fackler; A. H. Heuss, E. S. Plott and V. McClain. This committee selected Charles E. Byefleld as the architect and suggested to the vestry that they employ him. These five men prepared a set of plans for the church which is to be erected In units. After accepting the plans that were drafted, Brandt Brothers & Company were employed as contractors. The ground for the first unit was broken on Sunday, Sept. 13, 1925. This first unit, which will accommodate about 400 worshipers. Is completed and will be dedicated Feb. 7. The following program has bee narranged: Tomorrow at 10:30 a. m., Hr. R. C. H.

LITTLE THEATRE TO OPEN NEW PLAYHOUSE SOON Society to Have New Plan for Presenting Its Plays Here. "Treasure Island,” Jules Eckert Goodman’s dramatization of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Immortal tale, will be the opening play for the playhouse of the Little Theatre Society of Indiana. For years the Little Theatre Society has presented it’s plays in rented auditoriums, and the opening of Its own playhouse marks a long hoped for goal In it’s history. The incalculable value to the society of having a place, a home, where convenient and adequate working quarters can be assured to its members and to those struggling with the production of any stage play, can only be realized by the few of the society who have stuck through thick and thin of the lean years, and have withstood the hardships and difficulties of rented auditoriums and crowded workshops and bad rehearsal rooms. The building to be opened on Feb. 15 Is the first of three units which will make for the finished theater, but, as it is, it provides a completely equipped stage and auditorium, in the building of which the ideal has been to make the the auditor and the producer comfortable, and to give the organization quarters a warmth that will justify the use of the members of the word "home” when they speak of the Playhouse. Society Founded The Little Theatre Society of- Indiana was founded In February, 1916, with Prof. William E. Jennings as first president and Samuel A. Eliot, Jr., now head of the English speaking department of Smith College, as Its first director. The Initial performance was given in the sculpture court of John Herron Art Institute, which, although it made a beautiful setting for performances, proved entirely inadequate. Since then performances have been given in various auditoriums of the city, the Masonic Temple being the scene of the greatest number. .During this time plays by famous writers have been presented, some of them Indiana men. Booth Tarklngton, George Ade and Theodore Dreiser being notable examples, whose

plays have been successfully given. The work of several other Indiana writers has been represented In the Little Theatre programs. For the past five yeafs George Somnes has directed the productions, among which were "The Mollusc,” "Beyond the Horizon,” "Berenice,” “Androcles and the Lion,” “Candida," "The Emperor Jones” and "EverymaA” Owing to the limited seating capacity of the theater, departing from the established custom of one performance only of each bill, the Society will give at least five to accommodate the membership. Members should present theii coupons early. Seats will be reserved in the order of the presentation. Starting with Monday, Feb. 15, the performance will be repeated on Wednesday the 17th, Friday Feb. 19, and there will be two performances on Saturday, Feb. 20. History of Play "Treasure Island was first presented In New York at the Punch and Judy Theater, by Charles Hop--1 kins, In 1915, and for two years after enjoyed a very successful tour through the country. The' play follows the story very sincerely and tho absorbing adventure of good and bad have become a classic. Those taking part In the local society’s presentation will be Fred Schults., Victor Mausawlr, Farnsworth Wright, Gerald McShane, Brice HcQuillen. Margaret McCulloch Reynolds, W. L. Richardson, Master W'llliam Titus, Parker Wheatley, Henry B. TEe.vwood, Richard Jackson, Benn Levine, Ed
