2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1922 GUILD PRODUCTION INTERESTS PLAYGOERS Production of "Dear Brutus" Expected to Attract Rec- ord Crowds HAS SPLENDID CAST Appears at New Trier High School Thursday By PLAYGOER The interest of dramatic circles is centered this week on the coming productions of the North Shore Theatre Guild. Those who followed last year the Guild's success in "Twelve Hundred a Year," "Pygmalion," "Mixed Mar- riages" and "Jeanne d'Arc," will look forward to the first performance of this year, "Dear Brutus," by J. M. Barrie, anxious to see if the standard of production will be as high--or higher. O'Neill Praises Cast With all self-confidence, those who are connected with the production can assure the public that they will not be disappointed. Mr. Raymond O'Neill is strong in his praise of the cast, and the cast grateful for the di- rection by a professional artist. The play, "Dear Brutus," is a Barrie masterpiece--and this meang a good deal. Whimsical, of course, but full of power. Those who are desirous of a good play for their children of high school age to see, can make no mis- take in this one. It will amuse and interest, and leave a grain of truth, withal, that is most worth cherishing. Plan Range of Plays The three other plays of the year have not been chosen, but choice will be made from plays that, for the most part, one has not seen anywhere else, nor can see anywhere else. That the art of the theater may be completely represented, there may be one trag- edy. The others will probably be mystery, historical, or comedy. Memberships are coming in daily from those who wish to get the rate of one dollar a performance for each play. 'The subscription rate is $8, and wui3 entitles one to two tickets poses cach of the four productions, Those who are not members will not be able to see the last play, as it is planned to have this one an unusual treat for members only. It goes, then, without saying, that a subscription member- ship is of more value than single ad- missions, which will be $1.50. Some families are arranging between them to take one subscription, which is very well if they don't fight as to who shall see which. Even if one cannot go to all four performances, a ticket to one of the plays is a nice gift for a friend, or one could easily sell it for one dollar to some one who other- wise would take a single admission. Checks to Mrs. McConathy Send your checks for subscription to Mrs. Osborne MecConathy, 1727 Wesley avenue, Evanston, and do it in time to get the benefit of the first performance. Subscriptions will be taken at the door. One of the planks on which the Guild platform was built was the idea that a play once worked up to the point of production was worthy of 'peor sem 1 SIUM JI ©98S [[oM SB JYSIW SIOY)I0 JB8U)}--o0u0 uRY} OI0W USAIS Sureq Excellent Cast Another plank was the idea that by selecting casts from players from Evanston and Lake Forest, one had a wide range, and should be able to pick always a "star" cast.

MORE DISCUSSION ON 'THE LEAGUE OF PITY' "The League of Pity" continues to be the subject of discussion at the Sunday Morning Men's class sessions at Community House. Started last Sunday with an intro- ductory discussion, the subject matter tomorrow will permit special empha- sis to be placed upon "Religion's first advances from the indivdual should be into the domestic relations." In other words, the importance of people first of all applying the teach- ings and benefits of religion to their family life and to conditions in their own home. This is exemplified in Christ's life in the incident of his entering the home of Peter and heal- ing the mother of Peter's wife. The general theme, "The League of Pity," is based upon the quite gen- erally accepted theory, "the survival of the fittest." The discussion tends to show that Christian principles are fundamentally opposed to such a theory, rather stressing the import- ance of the strong helping the weak. The Men's class meets at Com- munity House at 9:45 o'clock every Sunday morning. Red Cross Fund Campaign in Full Swing Tomorrow Mrs. Willoughby Walling is in charge of the sale of Red Cross "stock" in this year's Red Cross Fund campaign in Winnetka. Winnetka residents who have not purchased their Red Cross 'stock" are asked to communicate with Mrs. Walling or one of her co-workers. "This opportunity comes to you but once a year," reads the Red Cross campaign notice. "Buy today and have a Red Cross flag in your window by Armistice Day and keep it up Cross Sunday. No home complete without this stock." Opportunity to contribute to the Red Cross will be given at the var- ious churches tomorrow morning. On Monday Red Cross workers will be at the various railroad stations. Many contributions have already been received, according to Mrs. Wall- ing, by reason of the fact Red Cross fund blanks were sent to all resi- dents in conjunction with the month- ly water and light bills from the vallage hall. PARENTS INSPECT SCHOOL The Winnetka Parent-Teacher as- sociation met last Thursday after- noon in the Skokie school for a gen- eral meeting and inspection tour. Af- ter the meeting tea was served.
