Since that date the company has grown in facility and power. Individual actors have blossomed out into near-professionals. The officials and directors have carried on the enterprise with admirable skill. The general director of the plays has proved himself a sure interpreter of the taste of North Shore audiences and thor.o ughly able to produce the best effects in the us~ of his human material and stage properttes. The public has its indispensable part to play, in the life of the Guild. Were there no audience there could not very well be any Guild. Audiences must co-operate with actors to assure worth-while productions. People on the stage do their best whe~ facing a large and appreciative body ot spectators and hearers. The public wants the players; the players want the public j~st as truly. The Guild is looking forward to a happy and prosperous season. With such an excellent corps .of officers and board of directors, and so efficient a general director as .-\lexander Dean. it is bound to succeed. . . . . ,._,C,~I ......

An afternoon's excursion through Look to those areas will disclose the . West! even to a stranger a real estate activity little short of alarming in its size and speed. Apa.rtnlent buildings are up, and occupied, on land that a few years ago was being plowed for farm crops. Houses of varied sizes, n1ostly of the bungalow type, are dotting the entire landscape, except in the forest preserve districts. And lots, sold and unsold, many only 50 feet wide, are waiting for hmne builders. These properties will be parts of our north shore towns. Their water, gas, sewage and other vexing problems will be ours. The poptilation of these areas will become so large as to swing elections. The children will have to be schooled. Lawbreakers will inc~ease in nun1ber, and police problems will grow more acute. We are facing a gigantic fact. We should be thinking apout it now so that when difficulties knock at' our door they will not find us asleep. For years we have been looking eastward, seeing only good old Lake Michigan free forever from real estate developments. But riow we n1ust look westward. We shall see a great host advancing. Let us be prepared. ' Lovers of orchestra tnusic are invited to buy tickets for this season's series of concerts to be given in the assembly hall at New Trier high school next Nlonday evening, October Symp hony 18, by the well known SymConcert phony Players ·o f Chicago, otherwise, and more familiarly, kno\vn as "George Dasch's men" (with once in a while a lady harpist). Those who are fortunate enough to be able to attend will hear from this very fine b.ody of players productions by such tnaster cotnposers as Wagner, Grieg, Debussy, von Weber, and Tschaikowsky. They will hear a symphony, two preludes, a little suite, and a valse triste. . Among those who will be present will be as many of the patrons of forn1er years as are in condition to reach the hall. They know by past experience the joy that is caused by the hearing of 40 or more artists begin the playing ,of some immortal con1position. They also kno\v the pleasure that attends the seeing and talking with friends and acquaintances in the audience. Call up the person who in your community represents the New Trier Orchestral Association. !-Te or she has the tickets \\'e're advising you to procure.

This organization is one of the foretnost agencies in Theater promoting the cultural life of uild our growing comn1unities and at the same time it contributes greatly to the enjoyment of those who attend its performances. 1\foreover, it provides educa tiona I advantages for all who participate in the . presentation of the \'arious plays.

Not only will our columns be open for any message he may desire to transmit, but speaking, as we trust, for our readers we promise hin1 ready co-operation. V\T e hinted last week that we would have a surprising if not important announcement to make this week, and here it is. This is the swan song · of The SlaYe. This will he the last time that he will conduct Shore Lines gently down the page, attempting to lead it in the way that all good little columns should go.

Maybe we'll send back some snapshots of a gay swimming- party, or something of the kind. Seriously, we are sorry to be leaving Shore Lines and all its gentle readers, and contribs, not to mention the happy family that assembles in the office of Lloyd Hollister, Inc., but there always comes a time when the ways must part, and this is the time. So, to all our friends, readers, contribs and colleagues we say farewell. Sincerely, THE SLAVE.
