The Primaries will be over, and an evening of good plays will be doubly wel- come. Instead of the customary single play of three acts, there will be three plays of one act each. There are so many delightful one-act plays that the club feels that it should offer some of them to its patrons. In this case one of them has been entered in the amateur players contest to be given at the Goodman theater in May. The plays selected for this April performance are a very humorous comedy, "Dolly's Little Bills," by Hen- ry Arthur Jones, which will strike home to many hearts. As contrast the second play, "Judge Lunch," by James William Rogers, Jr., will be a tragedy of gripping suspense. And, lest the evening should leave the audience with feelings of unhappiness, the third will be a play by Booth Tarkington, "The Trysting Place," which will keep everyone who hears it in merry mood long after the play is over. New and old-time favorites will ap- pear: Mrs. Louis Sherman, Mrs. Wil- liam Gold Hibbard III, Mrs. John Marshall, John Jameson, Charles Eastman, Alfred Freeman, George Bartlett, Mr. Hoehn, Lawrence Norem, Helen English, Vivian Ratcliffe, Mrs. Jack Anderson, Stanford Sherman and Boyd Anderson. Do not miss this last program of the season of the Community Drama club, Wednesday and Thursday, April 11 and 12, it is urged. Tickets for the matinees at the Goodman theater will be on sale these evenings, and those attending are advised to take this op- portunity of making sure of a seat at the try-out performances. Christ Church Choir Holds Annual Supper Wednesday The annual choir supper of Christ Church will be held in the Parish house next Wednesday evening at 6:30 o'clock. Under the leadership of Mrs. Frederic A. de Peyster, the Choir Guild has been working energetically to make this the best choir supper ever held in the parish. Old members of the choir have been asked to return as guests, as well as the fathers of the boys who are now singing. The Rector of the Parish will preside as toastmaster, and speeches will be called for from several of the past and present choir members. This supper, which is always a great.occa- sion, promises this year to be cne which will be long remembered by those who attend. Spencer Crilly, Jr., little son of G. Spencer Crilly, of 881 Spruce street; celebrated his fourth birthday Satur- day, March 31, by inviting a few of his friends to an afternoon party.

Winn. 991 ARRAIGN BARTHOLOMAY BURGLARS HERE TODAY Bring Pair Charged With Rob- bery of Local Home Here for Preliminary Hearing Jewelry and clothing valued at more than $60,000 stolen from the residence of Henry C. Bartholomay, 620 Spruce street, Winnetka, Monday night in one of the most daring burglaries and hold- ups ever staged in the Village, was re- covered a few hours later and the rob- bers captured after a desperate fight with Chicago police. Arthur Wurster, age 24, of 1820 Nel- son street and Dan Carstrom, age 28, of 1109 Washington boulevard, who, it is said, confessed having committed the crime, are to be brought to Win- netka today for preliminary hearing before Police Magistrate C. T. North- rup, charged with burglary, robbery and larceny. Carstrom, the officers say, has a long police record. Enter Through Window Entrance to the Bartholomay resi- dence was gained through an unlocked window. Armed with sawed-off shot guns, Wurster and Carstrom awakened the family and while one stood guard the other ransacked the house. They proceeded . deliberately and it is said displayed inexplainable familiarity with the premises. Mr. and Mrs. Bartholomay and a nurse, Hilgarde Wagner, were awak- ened, and guarded by the armed ban- dit, while his companion gathered the loot. The two maids in the house did not awaken. When the men were ready to leave they cut the telephone wire and se- curely bound their victims. The Locomobile in which they came was exchanged for the Bartholomay Willis St. Claire sedan. The aban- doned car was one which it is said the same pair stole the night before in a hold-up of the Ravenside garage at 4444 Ravenswood avenue, Chicago. Mr. Bartholomay, after extricating himself, notified the police, who broad- cast the details of the robbery to Chi- cago. Taxi Driver Causes Arrest At 10:30, through the aid of Domi- nick Foggio, a Chicago taxi driver, the men were under arrest. They had abandoned the Bartholo- may car at Barry avenue and Clark street and walked to Clark and Bel- mont where they summoned the taxi, having planted part of their loot at 4838 West Washington boulevard. Foggio overheard the men discussing the robbery and at Madison and Craw- ford called an officer. who, after a des- perate battle with Wurster and Car- strom and with the aid of two fellow officers who came to his assistance, landed them in jail. Hold Funeral Rites for Mrs. Marian H. Cazier Funeral services for Mrs. Marian Howard Cazier, formerly secretary to Rev. James Austin Richards of the Winnetka Congregational church, who died suddenly last Saturday in New York City following an attack of pneu- monia, were conducted from the Rose- hill cemetery chapel this week. Burial was at Rosehill. Mrs. Cazier was well known throughout the north shore and en- joyed a vast circle of close friends. She was very active in the work of the Winnetka Congregational church and accomplished a great amount of splen- did work. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. E. Hinricks of Port Washington, N. Y., and Miss Marian Cazier of New York City.
