The tryouts, which will be held at Community House, Winnetka, J anuary 30 at 2 p. m. and at 8 :30 p. m.· are fdr the purpose of familiarizing the Guild's new director, David Owen, with the available material for the casting of future plays. Much of the excellent work d~ne by the Guild is ascribable to its pobcy of drawing its acting group not from any one village, or social group, but from the entire north sh~re, from Evanston to Waukegan. CaDYUa Drama Groapa The work of casting a Guild play is a highly specialized one. Members of the Guild board of directors and casting committee are constantly attending performances of local community groups, high schools and churches, seeking material which will fit into parts which may later have to be filled. In casting, effort is made to secure a man or woman most closely approximating the character to r be played. This calls for a large group of people to choose from, as the characters vary from, perhaps, an elderly man to play a "dear old grandfather," to a dashing youth to play the boy at college. Again, an English play may call for · an entire group having English accents, or lacking that, at least a ·not too obvious American middle-west or southern. or Yankee twang-. ., Just Call ~--- 6 We have engaged one of the best dock repair men i, the coaatry, who will devote al· his time to our work. ~ ) No matter bow expensive ·the dock-whether plain or complicated, small or large-we can repair it for yo.u · promptly and reasonablJ. Dr. Herbert Willett gave the third of his serial ·lectures on the "Founders of the Great Religions of the World," last Wednesday at the Kenilworth Union church, taking up the "Life of Confucius, the Sage of China." There was a large audien~e to .hear this lecture which gave e':tdence of the unusual interest Dr. Willett is arousing in his discussions. Dr. Willett gave an account of the life of Confucius and told of his great gifts to China in the form of education and ideals for their code of conduct, emphasizing that, while he lived unappreciated, and was lonely at his death, his words have lived and every Chinaman is a follower of Confucius no matter what other religion he may or may not embrace. This week Dr. Willett took up the study of uGautama, the Buddha." Next week he will speak on "Socrates, the Teacher of Athens." The lectures are at 8 o'clock Wednesday evenings at the Kenilworth Union church. The members of the "Skipper club" which includes Wilmette and Evanston girls, will hold a meeting next Tuesday to make arrangements for -a skating party. All members are asked to attend. -i)- UL · DAVEY -JEWELER- 1165 Wilmette Avenue Phone Wilmette 6 Mrs. Fred Krammen, 1228 Washington avenue, entertained her bunco club Wednesday evening. 0 I J 01-a:.:ta::::=::::::::_ NEW LAID EGGS DELIVERED WEEKLY Satiafaction Guaranteed __ a_a ___ r_a_r_a_a_a_ Wilmette T eacber Hit by Skidding Automobile Miss Marie Fox, fifth grade teacher at the Central school, was struck by an automobile and painfully injured as she alighted from a s~reet car at the corner of Irving Park boulevard and North Hoyne avenue in Chicago, on Wednesday evening of last week.
