To many Wilmette people Dr. Soares needs no introduction. His pleasing personal- ity and ability as a speaker has won its place in the hearts of not only Wil- mette people, but in a host of friends throughout the country. Dr. Soares is president of the Religious Educa- tion Association of America, and is the Tiead of the Department of Reli- gious Education of the University of Chicago. His coming will afford an unusual opportunity for all those who are interested in Religious Education, in the training of the children and youth of the country.

He will give a course the first semester on "The Old Testament Background > of the Christian Relig- ion". He will deal primarily with the manner and customs of bible times.

Richardson is the head of the Department of Religious Education at Northwestern Univer- sity. During the first period he will deal with the psychology of childhood. In the second period he will give a special course for parents on the spir- itual development of the child. Any teacher or parent at all interested in the training of the child should not miss these courses given by a noted psychologist. Dr. Frank G. Ward is a professor of methods of teaching at Chicago Theo- logical Seminary, University of Chi- cago. His course will be on the Prin- ciples, or How to Teach Religion. Rev. Frederick C.

The full course consists of six ses- sions each Monday evening following that of October 10, and six sessions in the Spring.

Visitor at Rehearsal Is Intprossed by Dramatic Qualities of North Shore Players' Amateur Cast A card party will be given by the W. C. O. F. at Forrester Hall on Ridge avenue, on Tuesday evening of next week, at 8 o'clock. Without a doubt the North Shore Players, that little band of celebrated amateurs who are so interested in the so-called Little Theater Movement, are creating more than a little enthus- iasm and interest in the three one- act plays which are to be presented on Friday and Saturday evening of next week, at the Wilmette Woman's clubhouse. Just the other day one of us hap- pened to "listen in" on a conversation between the business manager, Jack Budinger, and the director, Elsworth Taylor, and discovered there was to be a rehearsal on Tuesday evening, and hied herself thither to look in on the players, and catch them in their activities. The "Pot-Boilers", a satire by Alice Gerstenberg, a play within a play, the story of which centers about a cer- tain Mr. Sud, a playwright, who is staging a dress rehearsafof his latest production, was in session. The cast is composed of a number of excellent- players, Everett Fox of Winnetka, Elizabeth Duffy of Glencoe, a gradu- ate of Cumnock School of Oratory, and who by the way is coaching the act, Harlan Ware, who needs no in- troduction to devotees of amateur theatricals, Del Worthington, Mary Ricksen, both of whom appeared in last year's productions. Gordon Can- ning, and Jack Gibson. Each one was doing his very best to characterize his own particular part, and the re- liearsal was moving along with ex- ceptional smoothness. Next came the participants in the comedy entitled "Where But In Am- ericai Kathcrine Crush of Wilmette, nar,^> ;d.'n this PIayk>t' wh*h is wifr'J Ut V*11? °" the house- 7ts '! c ,n Amcr«ca these davs ltn,i w,th> and cater to, in order to even keep one within the household Si,prort.n? Miss Crush is Everett lux, and Constance Parks, both of whom show splendid ability in the money hue. Many a housewife • nd this little take-off on every day life, tor it ,s exceptionally well done John Drinkwater's tragedy, "The Storm", is the third dramatization. and though there was no rehearsal of it on this particular evening, in uuiries revealed that the story centers around a lone woman, waiting anxiously for the return of her hus- band, whom she fears has been lost in the storm. Gloria Chandler, who is a graduate of Smith college, and a student of the Grace Hickox studio, takes the leading part and is support- ed by Joanne Golden, Phyllis Ogan, Ralph Bellamy, and Harlan Ware. Every member of the cast is an artist, all have achieved distinction in amateur dramatic circles, and several have won renown in the ranks of pro- fessionals. Tickets are going fast, and it will be to your advantage to make your reservation early. TENTH ANNIVERSARY FOR PRESBYTERIANS Mr. and Mrs. H. D.

Reminiscence Service The regular mid-week service Wed- nesday evening, at 8 o'clock, will be given over to reminiscence when the members will recount incidents per- taining to the organization and early history of the church. This Remin- iscence Night will doubtless be one of the most interesting discussions of the celebration in view of the fact that many of the charter members are still actively identified with the church. The special observance will conclude with wbat has beert termed "Men's Night". This will be Friday, October 14. A dinner for the men will be served at 6:30 o'clock in the church parlors. Following the dinner there is to be a program of special ad- dresses and music. The speakers in- cited for this occasion are Dr. William F. Weir, Secretary of the Men's Work committee of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church, the Rev. John Timothy Stone, D.D., pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian church, Chi- cago, and Henry P. Crowell, president of the Quaker Oats Company. Remarkable Growth The Wilmette Presbyterian church has had a most remarkable growth during the past ten years and today ranks among the foremost churches along the north shore. The organization began with 101 charter members and today the enroll- ment exceeds 500. The Sunday School accommodations 'ecame inadequate about two years ago when a large temporary structure was erected to care for the Primary and Beginners departments. The Rev. J. M. Wilson, D.D., now President of the Presbyterian Theo- logical Seminary at Omaha, Neb., was the pastor of the church from its organization until November, 1917. The present pastor, the Rev. George P. Magill, began his ministry with the church in April, 1918, coming to Fall and Winter Coats are now being shown. An early selection will assure you of the gar- ment that fits your personality.
