But - she’s as unruffied as milady’s 1951 sheath silhouet. Virtually a community newcomer, Mrs. Arden C.

one of her favorite diversions. Mrs. Eichsteadt has loved the theater since childhood play days in Cudahy, Wis. Then the stage was set in the garage of her parents, Dr. and Mrs. C. B. Partridge. Admission for the juvenile audience was two safety pins, ¥ She went on te win A. B. and M. A. degrees fn speech and dramatics in the University of Visas, did graduate work in Yale {versity’'s School of Fine Arts. Student Theater Aid AT WISCONSIN she became assistant director for the student Union Theater. There was much “hand holding with celebrities,” including. the Lunts and visiting musicians. For two years before that she was the first director of the Madison Theater Guild (similar to the, Civic) which she organized. She belongs to Phi Beta, national speech sorority, and Pi Epsilon Delta, national drama honorary. “It's time consuming,” she says of her theater work. But she manages it skillfully around her husband's and son’s schedules. Living in “dormitory-like” Meadowbrook, where neighbors have worked out a reciprocal agreement, takes care of the “baby sitter” problem. Her greatest thrill was just a year ago when the Junior Civic produced her own script of “Robinhood.” “There isn't a. crueler, more exacting audience than children — they're so frank she's learned. “It's a real challenge to direct for them.”
