^The Watchman of the Sunrise Trail (September 10, 1931) spotlighted some “friendly and theatrical” information:

The second of the lovely events to mark the opening of Southold’s new little theatre, Lester Little’s Paradise Woods Studio was The Enchanted Cottage, a three act play by Pinero, which was delightfully staged and excellently played by the summer group who call themselves The Playmakers. … with a wealth of talent of all kinds recruited for the dressing and the acting of the piece, it was something that the young folks of Southold and Mattituck may well remember with pardonable pride. It was a fine idea, conceived by Mrs. May Lupton, and other interested ladies.

^The County Review (December 10, 1931) shared that “A very fine musical was held at Lester Little’s studio in Paradise … Mrs. Harold Richmond, who sang a number of Southern melodies, was greatly enjoyed.”^The July 18, 1935 The Long Island Traveler reported about the beginning days of The Playmakers: “In the summer of 1931, a group of young people of college age, all of this vicinity, assembled and organized a dramatic society expressly for promoting interest and enthusiasm for fine dramatic art on the North Fork of Long Island. They called the society ‘The Playmakers.’ Mrs. Ellsworth Hubbel was their first president. The charter members are all well-known here. Some are summer residents, and others are families who have lived here for genera-

tions. Some of these original Playmakers are Ellsworth Hubbel, Robert Griffing, James Pullman, Constance Kendrick, William Wickham, Henry Wickham, John Wickham, George Nostrond, Anne Lupton, Virginia Lupton, Carol Pike, and Betty Pike.” The article adds that The Playmakers performed The Enchanted Cottage in 1931 at Lester Little’s Paradise Woods Studio and “The next year, encouraged by the interest and acclaim of the public, they gave Louisa M. Alcott’s charming ‘Little Women,’ which is and will be loved by everyone to the end of time. During these two seasons, they were ably coached by Miss Doris Farr.” Both productions were staged at the Paradise Woods Studio, kindly loaned by Mr. Lester Little. Also written was that Cutchogue resident and brilliant composer Douglas Moore assisted The Playmakers in 1935 as he directed this group at the East-hampton John Drew Theatre in “March Hares, a fast-moving, light hilarious comedy,” and 1935 was the most successful year for The Playmakers. “The Play-makers are noted for attempting a different type of production each year. They have found light comedy most successful. Therefore, this year, again under the direction of Mr. Douglas Moore, they return to it in Noel Coward’s very amusing Hayfever.”

^By 1933 the Playmakers had become quite famous on the North Fork. They found that the Paradise Point Studio was too small for the large audience they attracted and the group moved to Community Hall (Belmont Hall). The Long Island Traveler dated August 1, 1935 stated that Miss Margaret Whit-tier was the then president of The Playmakers and that “The Playmakers this year are planning to devote a portion of their proceeds for the benefit of the Eastern Long Island Hospital in Greenport. In previous years, donations have been given to both this hospital and the Community Hall where for the last two seasons Playmakers productions have been given.” The Long Island Traveler listed some of the cast of The Playmakers’ production of Hayfever: “Constance Kendrick is taking the part of Judith Bliss, the mother of the rather bizarre and eccentric Bliss family. Miss Kendrick has played in all the Playmakers’ presentations excepting last year, when she directed A Murder Has Been Arranged. She was Mrs. Smallwood in The Enchanted Cottage, Meg in Little Women, and Claudia Kitts in March of Hares.” Among some of the other participants as performers in The Playmakers’ 1935 production of Hayfever included Jack Northridge, Mildred Pye, Robert Griffing,

Betty Moore, Corwin Ammon, John Lupton, Katherine Williamson, and Con-stance Terry. ^The County Review (August 6, 1936) carried an ad listing that The Playmakers were to have a Benefit for Eastern Long Island Hospital of the production titled Cradle Song from August 13-15 at Community Hal. Admission was 50 cents and reserved seats were 75 cents. “Tickets on sale at Kramer’s Drug Store Southold.” ^The Long Island Traveler-Mattituck Watchman (October 24, 1946) Clarence Ashton Wood documented:

What place more fitting than Lester Little’s Paradise Woods Studio on the beautiful shorefront estate of his aunt, Mrs. C. B. Byron, on the old Hallock property near the Point of that name facing due east of Shelter Island? Half a hundred privileged ones from Greenport and Southold were the guests last Sunday afternoon of Mr. and Mrs. Little at the fifteenth annual autumnal recital given since their unique organ with its double bank of keys was dedicated. The program rendered was based upon the music of Tschaikowski, Rossini, Cho-pin, Sebelius, Strauss, Coates and other leading contemporaries. Sonia (Mrs. Ken-neth) Thornhill of the Gardiner Bay Estates, East Marion, and New York City, the guest artist of the occasion – an internationally known opera singer of Estonian birth – captivated her auditors by her gracious personality and delightful voice. It was her third appearance at the studio in the woods. Ruth Langlois (Mrs. Whitney) Hubbard, of Greenport, known to music lovers throughout the Island and in the Metropolitan area and the studio organist ever since its dedication in 1931, presided as usual at the keyboard. ...”

^The August 26, 1965 The Long Island Traveler-Mattituck Watchman featured this announcement: “A musicale was held in Lester Little’s Studio at Paradise Point on Saturday. The Junior Harbor Choristers of the Methodist Church in Greenport, under the direction of Ruth Langlois Hubbard, furnished the enter-tainment, assisted by Philip Fey and Benjamin Rackett.” ^The September 15, 1966 The Long Island Traveler-Mattituck Watchman spot-lighted the fact that there was “For the first time in many years a professional group of actors to perform a play here in Southold – the location, Lester Little’s Paradise Woods Studio, well-known over the years for its many concerts.

the sponsorship of the North Fork Animal Welfare League, Gigi, a straight play adapted by Anita Loos from the sto-ries of Colette will be presented by the Arena Players with music from the celebrated film production starring Audrey Hepburn and Maurice Chevalier. ”

^The Long Island Traveler-Mattituck Watchman (Septem-ber 22, 1966) includes this: “Saks Fifth Avenue prominent socialite-model Polly Stein was to play Gigi in the Arena Players’ production that year on October 8 at Lester Lit-tle’s Studio at Paradise Woods in Southold, L.I. The Arena Players have just finished another highly acclaimed sum-mer of plays in Greenport under the direction of Frederic DeFeis. Lester Little, President of the North Fork Animal Welfare League, Inc. which is sponsoring this performance of the play, was impressed by the professional calibre of his productions and invited Mr. DeFeis and his troupe of players to perform Gigi at his theatre studio which houses an organ of 1400 pipes conceived and constructed by Mr. Little himself.” ^The Long Island Traveler-Mattituck Watchman (Novem-ber 15, 1973) announced that there was going to be a “concert given in memory of Helen Wills Morgan at the Lester Little Studio on December 9th. Mezzo-soprano Dorothy Meaney was accompanied by talented pianist Myron McPherson for this event. The ar-ticle continues with: “We are rarely fortunate to have this opportunity to hear these talented artists and this premises to be a most delightful afternoon of music given by Hel-en Wills Morgan’s longtimefriend, Dorothy Meaney. The proceeds from the concert will be used for the restoration of the Thomas Moore House in loving memory of Helen Wills Morgan.”

^According to the Southold Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities, the Paradise Woods Studio that

A sketch of the studio by Whitney Hubbord that appeared in the studio’s Dedicatory Program, August 13, 1931

is also known as Lester Little’s Studio is located on the southeast side of Paradise Point Road opposite North Bayview Road in Southold, listed as a “cottage/studio.” There are “brick posts at entrance to the property.” As far as the surroundings of the building, it is in “A low density waterfront point of land extending into Shelter Island Sound with scattered residences hidden in the woods.” The date of con-struction is “early 20th century.” It is recorded as being a 1½ story irregular gable roof, brown shingles with white trim and green shutters with cut-outs.”

The property is now a private residence. ¢
