WtL.M . -- ·--- .. New Trier Deau· "Ye Olcle Towa Folb" Will Meet Patnls Prepare Aaaual Dimaer Reorpniaed Wilmette Group of Play. . to PNHDt eoa..ly May 25 .... Z8 B,. W. J. H. Wilmette theatergoers may look forward to a rare treat when the Wilmette Dramatic club presents its first play Friday and Saturday evenings, May 25 and 26, at the Byron C. Stolp school. It's a three act comedy drama full of amusing and clever situations. Written by Augustus E. Thomas, and directed by Paul E. Gamron, this clever Broadway success promises its audiences two enjoyable evenings of entertainment, full of bellowing and uproarious laughter. . And if you do not care to split your sides. you will at least want to witness the first performance of Witmette's peppy new Dramatic club. The well-chosen cast is hard at work -under the able direction of a former professional coach, Mr. Gamron, and the combination of cast, play, and coach, spells a certain success for the club's first serious undertaking. PreaeDt Taleated C..t This group, under a different name presented four successive plays lasi fall, all of which were successfully produced, and enthusiastically welcomed by . the community. The plays previously presented were: "Romance of the Willow Pattern," a Chinese fantasy; · · "Dawn," a melodrama; "Good Medicine," a comedy; and "The Valiant," a drama. And, now, with the club entirely reorganized, it wishes to present to its patrons, another form of entertainment, quite different from the previous undertakings-a really clever "three-acter," which has h~d successful runs on Broadway, and has travelled over the whole country. The play is a very modern, up-to-date comedy, supported by a talented group of actors. The part of Irene Randolph is played by Miss Marion W. Ruess, of Winnetka, daughter of Mr· and Mrs. C Otto Ruess, and a student of Malinekrodt High School. Miss Ruess participated in "Dawn," a former production of the club, and is really a splendid young actress capable of artistically portraying the difficult role of Irene, the attentive wife. Her appearance in this first Drama club production helps greatly to insure its s.uccess. The part Q.f Stuart Randolph, her husba~d, is played by John Panushka of Wtlmette, who fills the difficult role with an uncommon display of talent, and throws himself sincerely into the spirit of his part. Another experienced Wilmette player who is playing an important part in the coming production, is Raymond Rabe, well-known for his clever interpretations of droll, eccentric characters. In "Her Husband's Wife," he will play the part of "Uncle John," an eccentric old bachelor, the philosophical uncle of Irene Randolph. Mr'. Rabe will provide much of the spice in the new production. Experts Sapport C..t Miss Ethel Colwell, and Francis Ryan, both students of ~orthwestern university, will lend able assistance in their portrayal of two important parts. Miss Colwell. a graduate· of N~w Trier, formerly participated in New Trier Dramatics. She later went to the University of Illinois, where she wrote and directed a musical revue. Miss Colwell takes the part of Miss Emily Ladew, a plain young woman who was disappointed in love, and proved to be Irene's choice for her husband's second wife. Mr. Ryan, a former player in the Wilmette Drama league, is well remembered for his appearance · in The annual meeting and dinner of "Ye Old Town Folks" of Wilmette will be held this year .on Thursday evening, May17, at 6:30 o'clock, in the auditorium of the Wilmette Masonic temple. You and your family are web~ome to enroll as members if you have resided · in Wilmette prior to the year '1903. Invitations will be mailed shortly an~ if you do not receive one, and desire to enroll, please phone the treasurer, W. N. Waidner, Wi1me~te 3497, promptly.

The attention of Kenilworth residents is called to the clause pertaining to the type of muzzle prescribed by the new ordinance passed recently by the Kenilworth Village board in a letter which will be sent to all residents next week by the Kenilworth board. In the new ordinance. which will become effective upon the issuance of the letters, it is stated that "wire gauze or leather basket muzzles are required since experience shows that a leather strap muzzle is neither tight nor secure enough to prevent a dog from nipping or biting." The letters will probably be sent out May 1. FonDer Wilmette· Pastor Preaches Here on Sunday Dr. Stephen A.
