BE EW v. a. BERRIEN November 19, 1927 WINNETKA TALK THRESHOLD PLAYERS SEEK MORE MEMBERS Glencoe Play Group Rehearses for Presentation of Martin's "Smilin' Through" The Threshold Players of Glencoe are urging residents of Glencoe and north shore towns to take out associate memberships in the organization be- fore the first three-act production, which will be "Smilin' Through," by Harry Langdon Martin, presented in the Glencoe school auditorium on Fri- day evening, December 2. Active and associate members may show their cards--and receive a reserved seat for the performance--to Carl L. Lochner, at the offices of Walter P. Smith and company, on Park avenue, Glencoe, be- ginning November 28. Those who wish single admission tickets may also pur- chase them during the week of the play. Information regarding associate memberships may be secured from W. Albert Kemp (Glencoe 654), Rutheda L. Pretzel (Glencoe 1134) or Mr. Lochner (Glencoe 702). Plays Double Lead Mrs. Harry I. Miller is playing the double lead, that of Kathleen Dungan- non and lovely Moonyeen Clare, and Joseph K. Shippen takes the dual role of Jeremiah Wayne and his son Ken- neth. W. Albert Kemp is the engag- ingly brusque, lovable uncle of Kath- leen, John Carteret, and the lover of Moonveen in the second act, when the play turns back to 50 years ago. Robert McMillan plays opposite him as his lifelong friend and physician, Dr. Owen Harding. Miss Sarah Nohelty has been given a part that suits her very well, that of the housekeeper, who mothers Kathleen. H. C. Champlin, Jr.. is Willie, Kathleen's persistent suitor. Miss Rutheda L. Pretzel takes the part of Mary Clare, sister of Moonyeen, and she appears with Mrs. Katherine F. Postle, who is Sarah Wayne, mother of Kenneth, in a pro- logue. The play concerns itself with the bitterness of old John Carteret, who cannot forget the tragic death of his sweetheart on their wedding dav; and his refusal to sanction the marriage of Kathleen with the son of his sweet- heart's murderer. The play is delight- fully romantic, yet with touches of comedy that make it especially appeal- ing. Norman E. Watson is directing the play. ADDRESSES CONGREGATION Rabbi Louis I. Mann of the Sinai temple, Chicago, spoke to the members of the North Shore Congregation Israel on "The Fear of Living the Lat- est of the Phobias," at the Winnetka Masonic temple last Friday.
