ss A i WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1924 BOOK REVIEWS "The Goose Hangs High." The younger generation is not so menacing as Grandmother Bradley thinks. This three-act play by Lewis Beach is not a startling bit of humor, but it is a modern instance. The sort of an instance with which many par- ents and children will feel quite familiar. And what's more, the satire on the city government officials gives a fine slant of what some of our municipalities are doing to improve the local government. It is almost a plea for every good citizen in every community to be sure to come out and cast his ballot on election day. As for the younger generation, Lois and Bradley Ingals are by no means the sort of prigs their grandmother and aunt try to think they are. When the family bread-winner is about to lose his job as city assessor, they not only give up their intentions of re- turning to college, but they get out and get jobs within their own city. And, of course, the father employs every possible means to frustrate the scheme. Even the mother places an advertisement in the paper for room- ers in the old and most revered family home, which would be sure to bring social prestige to the prospective tenant. If the play ,acts like it reads, there is an excellent story of real American life as is experienced by many fam- ilies every year. "Beggar on Horseback." The authors of "Beggar on Horse- back" have during the past few years seen fit that both the stage and the dramatic literature of America was given several pieces of life, real and fantastic. Their recent offering tak- ing form of an imaginative and clever dream play that is entertaining and novel, for both the stage and book form. Reading the play after seeing the stage production brings vivid pictures of the singular scenes, there are quite a number of them, of the eventful dream. The appearing and disappear- ing' butlers, the mother of the wealthy daughter whom the hero has married (in the dream), glued to her rocker and continually knitting, the ever- lasting fear of the sick brother-in-law who reminds the hero that the wealth will go to him and the rich, low-brow, jazz loving, money-crazed father-in- law, all jump in and out to make the dream an incoherent yet logical dream. The idea of the play is not original with George Kaufman and Marc Con- nelly, but the development is cer- tainly their own. There lingers all through that cynical smile at the nou- veau rich who figure that money and "wulcy" and '10 the Ladies," the show are the souls of life. As in woman who appears to be the least important, the poorest (in money) and the simpleton, turns out to be the dominent figure. The play in book form is well worth reading, especially if one has seen the play performed, or if one contemplates seeing the stage interpretation. For ordinary reading matter, there is nothing of recent pub- lication which is as entertaining. ELECTRICITY'S COST Someone has invested more than $450 for every family of five in the United States who has electric service available, according to figures recently compiled by the National Electric Light association. More than half of the population, or 59,417,350 persons, is served by this industry, which in 1923, represented an investment of $5,800,- 000,000. A large part of this money came from users of electricity, who are both owners and customers of the same business. DEDICATE ORGAN AT ST. FRANCIS CHURCH Dr. J.
