All of the Scouts of the Troop pent part· of the m~ting hour a~ the reau)ar meeting place in the Epascopal church, then, as the church was needed for other purposes; they adjoumed to the Club house. There the Scouts were asked to be seated and the officers wanted to know what individual Scouts know. Some of the fellows knew their Tenderfoot tests and Second Class tests. Most of the Scouts are working hard. By the next meeting most of the Scouts wiD · be · ready to go to the Cabin in the Woods.-Tom Temple, Troop 1. Work Party Puta Cabin in Shape for Campen · A work party spent one day last week at the Cabin in the Woods, getting it in final shape for Spring Camp which opens in one more month. Although registration only opened a few days ago, Bruce Kenyon of Troop 4, Wilmette, Cameron Brown of Troop 21, Glencoe, Charles Reed and John Betak have already signed up. The registration will be limited to 24. A similar 4 day encampment will be held from April 10 to 14 for Scouts from the north end of the council. "The Night Cap," this week's. production at the New Evanston, ts an excellent vehicle for Charles George, the leading man of the Evanston Players, and he takes advantage of the fact to do some very good work:much better than he has done for several weeks past. . George must have a part '!herem he can legitimately depict emot10nal control for he depicts it always, regardless of what the script requires. "The Night Cap" is ~ mystery play and a comedy a!l rollc:d mto o~e ~nd 1t is hard to say m wh1ch role Jt ss the best. It is not a spooky play but the mystery angle is adroitly handled.. It is full of laughs, most of them provsded by Lew Welsh and Ric~ard Ward, playing the parts of bank d1rec~ors and guests at a house party gtven by Robert Andrews, played by George. The program tells us that the locale is '"near Evanston, Ill.n but the only evidence to prove the assertion is the phone number given by the cop when he calls the police station-"Evanston i· Vai· to Hire Self Murdered ; , Mystery-Comedy Troop 35 of Ravinia, the ·troo~ that won the first aid contest in the North Shore Area council, is pretJari~g to compete against the l~ading fir~t aid team in Evanston and the Northwest Suburban council in a three-cornered meet which will be held in Evanston on .

Hudson, the director of the organization service department ~f the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, Js to be one of the two "full course meals .;erved at the "new members' dinner'· of the Wilmette Chamber of Commerce at the Masonic temple on March 12. This dinner will be the dosing feature of the membership drive now in progress and all present members, new members and those interested in the activities of . the local Chamber are invited to attend. Mr. Hudson is probably one of the most brilliant after dinner speakers in Illinois. He is a humorist deluxe and his address, "Push, Pep and Personality," is said to be one of the best rapid-fire discussions ever "created." A Wisconsin editor calls him "the combination of Josh Billings, James Whitcomb Riley, Will Rogers and Billy Sunday" and as an antidote for "blue Monday" he is declared to be without a peer. The leading man and the leading lady Margaret Fuller, are cast in parts further separated in age than they have played before on the New Evanston stage. George is a bank president with near gray hair and Miss Fuller is his ward, Anne Maynard. They both deserve commendation for their work. An extraordinary situation is developed early in the play, to-wit: Andrews has misused $600,000 of the bank's money and discovery is imminent. He wants to save his friends, the directors of his bank, who are implicated, and protect t~e. bank's creditors with<!ut going to Jad. He has taken out Ide insurance totaling $800,000 but if he commits suicide he will void the policies. The only way out is murder and he proposes that one of the four directors present at the party murder him. How he tries to be ~murdered and fails and one of the directors is killed instead makes a very interesting play -together with the inevitable love angle and the generous dole of real comedy. The rest of the cast, all of whom are in excellent form, are Karl Way, Robert Lowes, George Pembroke, Beatrice Leiblee, Raymond Appelby, Ann Dere and George Edwards. C. V. K.
