COMMUNITY DRAMA CLUB PRESENTS PLAY NOV. 14 Stellar Cast Now Rehearsing Season's Inaugural Piece, "Cassilis Engagement" The first play of the season of per- formances given by the Community Drama club, "The Cassilis Engage- ment," by Sir John Hankin, will be presented at 8:15 o'clock November 14 and 15 at Community House. The plot of the play is an ex- tremely interesting one, laid at the country home in England, Denyham Abbey, of Mrs. Cassilis, whose part will be taken by Mrs. Wallace Rumsey. Mrs. Cassilis' son, Geof- frey, to be played by Moncure Paynter, has fallen in love with a girl of a much lower class, Ethel Borridge, to be portrayed by Miss Frances Elli- son. Mrs. Cassilis has invited Ethel and her mother (Mrs. Thomas H. Ratcliffe) to visit her and her son, cleverly scheming so that her son will realize that he and Ethél are unsuited to each other. The play opens with the announcement of Mrs. Cassilis at afternoon tea that the Borridges are to arrive as her guests, which horri- fies the Countess of Remenham (Miss Julia Krenwinkel) and her daughter, Lady Mabel Venning (Miss Vivian Ratcliffe), the Rector (Walter S. Johnson) and his wife (Mrs. Carl E. Johnsen). More Complications Most unusual situations result be- cause of the great difference in breed- ing and interests. Things become more complicated with the arrivals of Lady Marchmont, Mrs. Cassilis' sister (Mrs. Charles T. Moon) for a visit and, later, of Lady Mabel Venning to spend sev- eral days. Poor Mrs. Borridge tries to please everyone but is only laughed at behind her back by the Countess and Lady Remenham. Ethel does not like the country and Geoffrey turns to Lady Mabel for companionship on long rides--which fans Ethel's jeal- ousy, although she admits to her mother that she does not love him. It seems as if Mrs. Cassilis' scheme is unsuccessful. One evening she gives a dinner party and Major Warrington, Lady Remanham's brother (Milton Higgins )a veritable old beau brummel, carries on a flirtation with Ethel--and incidentally gives her and Geoffrey something new to think about. The conclusion is most unusual. Miss Grace Smith will be Dorset, a maid, and F. W. Kaempfer will be Watson, the butler. Fine Characterizations The play is comic all the way through. It has splendid characteriza- tions, especially those of Mrs. Cassi- lis, Ethel and Major. Warrington. Tt has great possibilities and with such an able cast should prove a great favorite to members of the club and all others. Election Defers Council Meeting to Wednesday Eve The date of the next regular meeting of the Winnetka Village council is Tuesday evening, November 6, Elec- tion day.

Standard-bearers Await Country's Decision E candidacy of Herbert Hoover offers an unparalleled opportun- ity to the people of the United States to choose a chief executive who is superbly equipped and intensively trained to give diverse service in the office of the presidency. His able ad- ministration of international conditions inspire rare confidence in his power of achievement. All the gifts, powers, and the genius of an economist, engineer, business man, and a statesman are offered to the voter for still more effective serv- ice. His ideal of the province of gov- ernment may become the voter's own. He believes that the government's po- tentialities should be directed for the welfare of humanity. He holds that the agencies of gov- ernment should afford the citizen help singly or in co-operation with his fel- low citizens. His intent would be to lead the development of co-operative effort between the "government and the forces in the community" to open the way "for our social and economic system to cure its own abuses." With such high idealism as an im- pelling force, one has faith that the scientific mind of the candidate will lead in producing the working form- ulas which will bring agricultural re- lief and solve other pressing problems. His candidacy is a promise and oppor- tunity of immeasurable value to the American people. The foresighted voter will cast his ballot for Herbert Hoover. --Winnetka Woman's Hoover- for-President club. Religion--Citizenship," Men's Class Discussion "Religion and Citizenship" will be the topic for discussion at the meet- ing of the Men's class of the Winnetka Congregational church tomorrow morn- ing at 9:30 olclock, directed by Ralph Morphett. The class meets in the rooms American Legion, at Community PAAFALE RAT SAAR EN TEN House: of Winnetka Post No. 10,| Now T hat It's Over Editor's note: The current polit- ical campaign, as waged in Win- netka, has waxed exceedingly warm and WINNETKA TALK, maintaining its policy of non-partisanship when politics, local or otherwise, is con- cerned, has again served its role as "buffer state." Republicans wanted Mr. Hoover's picture on our cover. The Democrats were equally insistent with reference to the illustrious Mr. Smith's likeness. We compromised, as indicated above. And, just by way of making mat- ters - more intriguing, the good women of our community assumed the leadership in this hectic cam- paign. Now, it's easy enough to tell a mere man "where he gets off at," etc, when circumstances dictate such procedure, but as for the mem- bers of the fair sex? Well, recent experience prescribes extreme cau- tion. At any rate, everything appears to be lovely now. Flanking this note of explanation appear final statements in the interest of the contending Presidential nominees. To our right a comment over the signature of Mrs. Morris L. Greeley --of the Winnetka Women-for- Smith club, and, at the left, a pro- nouncement from headquarters of the Winnetka Women-for-Hoover club, of which Mrs. Florence Ben- nett Peterson is the directing genius. It is interesting to note that the position of this word of explanation, with reference to the adjoining col- umns, represents precisely our pre- dicament over the period of the past four week. ELECTION RETURNS TUESDAY Both Winnetka Republican head- il be. Y> Independent Voters Elect Al- . fred E. Smith for President of the United States. He is a great Governor of a great state, a progressive statesman, a dis- tinguished American and a noble hu- manitarian. He will make a great President of these United States in this present epoch of our history when the country needs a Leader to arouse them from the lethargy of too much machine standardization and a slavish conform- ity to mere efficiency in government. Our Country needs a standard- bearer who will show the way to a new national consciousness of Human Rights, a President who will direct the people in their efforts to realize a life of liberty in a great Democracy. --Mrs. Morris L. Greeley. Democratic Headquarters Scene of Lively Campaign Last Wednesday evening at the Smith-for-President headquarters Ro- land D.
