irl Scout Founder's Ancestor Is Heroine Of Children’s Drama
Play at Civic Theater Tomorrow Portrays Life of Eleanor. Lytell Among Senecas; Mrs. Sterling to Talk on Music.
By VIRGINA MOORHEAD MANNON “While blood-curdling war whoops, tom-toms and Indian dances are sure to provide excitement in the Children's Theater play tomorrow afternoon at the Civic Theater, Girl Scouts have an additional interest in the production. They're thrilled that the heroine of “The Indian Captive” was actually the grandmother of the founder of their organization and that the second performance is coincident with the Girl Scout anniversary
celebration next week.
Tie three-act play by Charlotte B. Chorpenning is based upon the authentic story of the captivity among the Seneca Indians of Eleancr Lytell, who later was married to John Kenzie of Chicago. When Juliette Gordon Lowe, Girl Scout founder, was a little girl of 4 in Savannah, Ga., she was sent to her grandmother, Mrs. John Kenzie, in Chicago. While living with her grandmother after the Civil War she learned much of the wood-lore which later gave her the inspiration for the things now taught in Girl Scout work. Because the Senecas gave little Eleanor the name, “Ship-Under-Full-Sail,” Mrs. Lowe dubbed herself “Ship-Under-Full-Sail No. 2.” The first performance of the play is to be tomorrow at 2:30. Girl Scouts are to begin their celebration Monday, and on March 12, the actual date of their founding, the play is to be repeated at 10:30 and 2:30 in the Playhouse. “The Indian Captive” has been popular with juvenile audiences everywhere, according to Mrs. John .Gordon Kinghan, Children’s Theater chairman, who is directing the play. After it was produced by the Junior League in Asheville, N. C., it was taken to the Cherokee India. Reservation and played for the Indians who received it enthusis stically, she said. Cae of the simple outdoor settings reveals a:log cabin; the second i: a wigwam scene with a fire burning in the center of the stage
and = torture rock at one side. Fringed and beaded Indian costumes. made of buckskin and canvas are being assembled by Mrs. Paul Rich-"
ards <nd her costume committee. Some of the “braves” are to wear hand painted Jackets. All the Indians will wear painted headbands with = single feather, which is authentic Seneca, according to Mrs. Richards. Dangling braids made of black stockings will complete. the Indian coiffures. : antly. Suzanne Ramey, who plays Eleanor Lytell, is to ‘wear a mod-
est. li ‘le pioneer dress of gray muslin with white Surplicy in the first -
ack and Indian dress in the second. = ® # 2 # 8 8 be ST 2e melodious tinkling of an old-fashioned ‘music box, oldfashi med costumes and. old-fashioned:jewelry will create atmosphere for Mrs. Frederic H. Sterling’s talk on “Musical Glimpses of Early. Indiz na” next Tuesday at the Propylaeum. Songs and piano selec tions typical of music from Indian days to 1900 will. be a special feature of the Fortnightly Literary Club's anniversary day guest meeting at 2:45 o'clock. Specific incidents in the musical history of Indiz napolis are to be illustrated with stereopticon views of some of th: participants. French folk songs of old Vincennes to be sung by Mrs. Charles Mart: a will include “Cecilia,” “Whence O Shepherd Maiden” and “La (Gul Annee.” Piano numbers of the Sixties to be played by Mrs. H. W_ Brady are to include “The Maiden’s Prayer” and “The Storm.” Mrs. Eugene Van Sickle will sing “Under the Daisies,” “Waiting” and Who's at My Window?” also typical of the Sixties. ~ Iepresenting the light opera period of the Eighties will be “Three Littl Maids” from the Gilbert and Sullivan opera, “The Mikado” sung by Mrs. H. H. Arnholter, Mrs. O. M. Jones and Mrs. Thomas Scar on. Mrs. Claire Cox and Miss Emma Doeppers will sing “My Gal; a High Born Lady,” a cakewalk exemplifying the jazz of the eles. = An old-fashioned tea party is planned following the program which has been arranged by Mrs. Sterling. Mrs. Charles Warren Fairianks served as the club’s first president from 1885 to 1887.

Clarence Martin, former Indiana Supreme Court judge, who was guest speaker, said that revival of interest in the Constitution was due to insidious and indirect assaults on it. “The greatest men of our country have fought in its defense against plans of misguided and rattlebrained theorists who have seen a short cut to a non-existent Utopia,” he said. Mr. Martin said that if the Constitution is obeyed and respected and the Supreme Court is kept a judicial and not a political body, no
