JUNIOR WORKSHOP PLAY IS SUCCESS â€" The Ravinia Junior Drama Workâ€" shop performance ofâ€" "The Dover Road," on Saturday night at the Raâ€" vinia Village House, must be:rated as a distinct success, éven though the house was not packed. In this, their first finished perforâ€" mance, they have shown good taste and discrimination in the selection of their play. It represents Milne at his best, whimsi¢al and subtle humor, a nicely balanced mixture of sophistâ€" ication _ and moral preachment "and just enough sativre to give the whole a tang. They also had the very good fortune â€"to attract the interest â€"of a very able young director, Mr. Geofâ€" frey Baker of Chicago. The smoothâ€" ness â€"and finish of the performance by the well chosen cast attested Mr. Baker‘s ability. e metmie onl Presented â€" Saturday Night in Members of Highland Park lodge Ravinia Viuage Honse; No. 446, Loyal Order of Moose, will Good_Work ho}d their annual installation of ~ofâ€" * Pm n i qy m eg e n qn nep on n min ts â€" + > 1 ie ~Bt WRA HAll, â€"Contralâ€"avenue. As the name implies, the group is composed entirely of young people, most of whom have had considerable experience in high school and colâ€" lege dramatics. Early in the season they â€"put â€" on walking rehearsals ~of two.â€" original oneâ€"act plays; after which they became.ambitious to proâ€" duce a full length play. oo Lantz was convicted on the charge the week, three women on the jury voting on the verdict of guilty. The defendant police charged, had been circulating forged checks in the North Shore cities for nearly five years. Prior to his conviction in cirâ€" cuit court he always managed to ésâ€" cape prosecution by making the checks good after charges had been filed in police court, according to Waukegan newspaper reports. ~Following the passing of a series of checks in Waukegan Lantz fled to California.
