November 1,' 1929 WILMETTE LIFE '"PATSY'f IS H.I T "The Student Prince" at . Community House Friday First .Night Audience Pleased by Com. pany'a Presentation of Comedy GRE~T "The Patsy" as presented Monday evening to open the second week for the Lake Shore P\oductions at their local theater on Sherman r avenue, Evanston, scored a grt$at hit. The play is light and amusing, full of laughs from opening to ending; and as the popular group of players gave it their interpretation Monday evening, it was received with ready appreciation of all the fun it can create. The audience gave its favor to every member of the cast-to Martha Townsend, the cute little ingenue wh0 brought just the proper measure of naivete and spirit to the part of the Patsy; and to the talented and poised charm of Fiorenza de Veiga, expressed in the role of the "na tv" sister. Miss de Veiga did an exceptiO'nally excellent hit of work. The parts of the senior Harringtons as played hy Adele Bradford and John Winthrop, smacked rather too much of bombastic uproar that is passing with the oldtime stock group. But Baker Moore in the role of Tony Anderson was as great a satisfaction as he was the week previously in the role of Anger. champion of Young v\'oodley. One of the interesting bits of the performance was the appearance of the company's lea" d ing lady, Charlotte Andrews, as · Sadie, a character into which she fell with complete change of temperament. Next ,.,.·eek Miss Bradford wiH have her opportunity to acquaint her public with her skill as lead in "Sun-Up." the North Carolina mountain play of wide emotional range.

The week following, a mystery play, "The Creaking Chair," wil be offered, fol, lowed next by "Smilin' Through." In accordance with the desire of its management to do everything possible to bring the theater and its company within reacl1 of every theater-goer in the community, prices have been lowered and special ticket offers are being made to individuals and groups. :At the Raym~nd Fund free enter"The Student Prince" that marvel tamment for chtldren, Saturday, Noof light operas present~d several sea- vember 2, at Field Museum of Natural ~ons a.~o at the.

Plans for this winter assure patrons a brilliant season of ciiversified productions. The local committee · feels that the people of \t\Tilmette should take adyantage of this opportunity to sec these carefully selected and wen acted plays. The Korth Shore Theater Guild has become a part of the social life of the north shore, contributing much to the understanding and appreciation of drama. The plays this season will be given on the stage of the new \Voman's club, which approaches in construction ' and equipment the quality of a professional stage. As an added attraction on the night of the Guild's first appearan~c in \Vilmette this season. subscribers will be invited, after the last act, to come behind the scenes while the actors still are in costume, to learn something of the technique and the mrchanics of the stage. Those wishing further information may call ~[rs. Robert Stoddard, chairman of the \Vilmette committee of the North Shore Theater Guild. .
