Apri1 .13, 1928 -- -: Start the Spring With a Freshly BARREL OF lAUGHTER IN "TONS OF lONEY" Newest Theater .Gaild Prodactioa DepictS Aclnatares of a Bona Fortane.Hanter When a fortune-hunter sets out in quest of a ton of money, tantalizingly dangled before his very eyes,_ ~e is willing to go to almost any bmtt of absurdity in order to win his pot of gold. If there is any limit, it is certainly not disclosed in the play, "Tons of Money," a comedy of errors to be presented by the North Shore Theater Guild as the last play for its current season. For laughing purposes only, this story of an English Jason, recklessly pursuing the fortune offered in the eccentric will of his deceased brother, was written by England's foremost farce writers, Will Evans and Valentine. In this day of tall fortunes, when everyone has his own particular "racket," his own secret formula for garnering a goodly share of the world·s wealth, it will be interesting to study the technique of a master dollar-chaser whose methods are most unusual, if not effective. The Man Pays - ' Painted Car We are prepared to restore to your car the velvety newness with which it came from the factory.

Mcintyre PHONE WIL. 1209 WASHINGTON AVE. 684 - Do Not Expect to Compare-for Cadillac Stands Alone Leave all pre..conceived standards behind when you inspect the Cadillac, or test its famous 90-degree, V-type, 8-cylinder engine. Cadillac today establishes its own stand. . ards, 'just as has every Cadillac that has preceded it for ZS years. And the new Cadillac is one instance in which adusiveness and prestige can be enjoyed on the basis of a sensible inv~tment. CADILLAC MOTOR CAR COMPANY EVANSTON BRANCH 1810 Ridge Avenue, Evanston Aubrey Henry Maitland Allington. the dizzy hero of "Tons of Money," is a man who could ·probably not live within his income if it doubled and tripled every pay day. But his resourcefulness is equal to his extravagance. His imaginative wife, Louise. is n~ver at a loss to suggest new and daring means for Aubrey to gain his ends. Her suggestions lead to countless complications, and though it is said that "the woman always pays," it is Aubrey who invariably pays for her desperate intrigues, and believe you us, he pays dearly. The role of the blunderin.g Aubrey will be ably taken by Louis Ellsworth Laflin of Lake Forest, who is well known in Chicago dramatic circles, ·both as an amateur actor and as a playwright. He recentlv wrote a one-act play entitled "The Devit's Disciple," which was produced at the Goodman theater, and two new dramas from his pen are scheduled for an earlv showing at the same place. When at Princeton university, Laflin was a member of the Triangle club, being coauthor, director. composer and actor in two of the musical productions of that welJ-known organization. His appearance with the Guild. in a part of unique possibilities, will be watched with interest. Irene Wicker Has Lead One of the Guild's new discoveries, through the tryout system, is Irene Wicker, who takes the feminine lead in "Tons of Money." She is a product of the Goodman Theater School of Dramatic Art, and has been playing elsewhere in stock companies for over a · year. Previous to that, she played leads with little theater organizations in Peoria, Illinois, and Canton, Ohio and is now taking part in stock pro~ ducti.o_ns in Oak Park. In "Tons of Money." she has a splendid opportunity for comedy character portrayal as the shrewd. scheming. lovable wife who generously risks her husband's life for the sake of an elusive bequest. A stronll' supporting cast makes "Tons of Money" one of the most promising v~ntures that the guild has yet attempted. It is a fitting ·program to close a highly successful season on the north shor~. The usual itinerary of the romild will be followed : Glencoe' on April 24; Highland Park, April 25: Lake Forest. Anril 26: Winnetka, Aoril Z/ and 28: Wilmette, May 1, and Evanston, May 2 and 3. ...
