KENILWORTH SEES ITS FIRST CIRCUS The boys and girls of Kenilworth were given a real treat Monday, when Seibel Brothers' United Shows pitched their tents on the vacant lots west of the Northwestern tracks and gave two performances. It was the first time in the history of Kenilworth that a circus ever played In the village. The younger generation were not the only ones to take advantage of the show, but many older people who had not seen a cir- cus In many years took in the sights. The sound of the band as the parade marched through the streets was a new one to the ears of the residents of the place and caused the streets to fill up rapidly with a curious crowd. The scene at the grounds was like- wise new to the village, and although many of the youngsters had heard of "carrying water for the elephant," they had never seen a real circus tent before. ♦ MMIIWIMIMMMWt; : AT THE EVANSTON ! THEATER WILMETTE SCOUTS . MAKING PROGRESS Boy Scout work throughout the country is making good progress. The latest addition to the work is the es- tablishment of scoutmasters, train- ing schools and camps for the coming summer. Arrangements have been been made for training camps in Con- necticut, at Lake Geneva, Wis., and at Silver Bay, N. Y. Wilmette troops have completed business organization in each troop, the officers of the first troop being: President, Hugh Paterson; vice-presi- dent, Shelby M. Singleton, Jr.; treas- urer, Wm. Kleinpell; secretary, Erwin Wolf. Officers of the second troop: President, James Paterson; vice-presi- dent, Clarence *Wolf. Merriman Hess passed his final ex- aminations for first-class scout on May 18 and has received his badge. The map which he turned in of the route taken in his nineteen-mile hike was so good and complete that Chi- cago headquarters have requested it for framing and keeping in headquar- ters. The Wilmette teams, which won the North Shore contest on .first aid and signaling, competed at Hull house on Saturday evening, May 25, with seven troops from other sections of the city and suburbs for the cham- pionship of Chicago. This champion- ship carries with it the possession of a silver shield for the coming year, and to each member of the winning team a gold medal. While there is high competition and active prepara- tion for this contest, Wilmette boys are working hard and expect to win, or at any rate to stand close to the head of the list. p"'"" 1 ifc~ E&"<r; HpkX ' m P f i - -r- ' %., ■ DOINGS AT GR08S POINT.

Mr. Foster will install a first-class, This is mayors' week at the Evans- ton theater as well as everywhere else through the city for the play is "The Man of the Hour," in which the hero is the mayor of a city and most everyone else in the play is a villain. It was very nice of Mr. Vance to pay this compliment to our guests and we hope they will have an opportunity while they are here to see a com- mendable drama, a pretty playhouse and a good company. The play tells the story of how some political bosses united with "big business" and elected a rich youth mayor of a city in the belief that he could be handled. The way in which he opened their eyes and by his courage conquered graft is well told and of continued in- terest. Some of the deftest tnnnhoo of the play are made by Gale Satter- lee as "Alderman Phelan," and Guy Kibbee as "Alderman Horigan." Kib- bee makes up quite as good as he did in "Paid in Full." The brush used is a broad one by both Satterlee and Kibbee and the colors are glar- ing, but when their work is done, you have two finished pictures of a type of city father that is far from unknown in many of our American cities. Was Bright and Effective. Miss Johnstone was bright and ef- fective as "Dallas Wainrlght"; Lea Remonde was well cast as "Mrs. Ben- nett"; Lillian Cavitte was attractive as "Cynthia Garrison"; Jean Claren- don was an accomplished "Charles Wainrlght"; Charles Peyton as "Henry Thompson" did the best bit of acting he has done in his Evans- ton career; Oliver Hinsdell won re- peated applause by his cleverness as "Percy Wainrlght"; Edward Carrol was an adequate "Scott Gibbs"; Law- rence Ackerlind, who created the part of "Richard Thompson" in the original production, appeared in that role and made a pleasaut impression. Robert Lawrence was a sufficiently weak "Tudge Newman," and Stanley Prico doubled as "Mills" and "Henry Williams." Will Leave Company. The leading part was taken by Charies Darrah; who is to leave tf«r company at the end of this wee* Mr. Darrah has perhaps the best part he has played here, with the possi- ble exception of "Brown/' Whilo, taken all in all, he has been more ac- ceptable than his predecessor, who was a good actor with several la- mentable mannerisms, Mr. Darrah has not shown above his fellows of the Bvanston company, and to be just to them has at times been un- equal to them. A young man of at- tractive parts and pleasing personal- ity, he may have a future on the stage, but it will only come after the hardest kind of hard work. He cer- tainly must conquer his self-conscious- ness before a very big future comes. Be it said to his credit that it is a self-consciousness of modesty rather than vanity. The Cast.

Harry Minora, who has just closed a season as leading man at the Ma- jestic theater, Grand Rapids, will be the /'Raffles." The week following will come "Uncle Tom's Cabin." This will be an opportunity for the chil- dren to see this historic play, which will be valuable to them. The child who has not wept over little Eva, laughed at Topsy, and sympathized with Uncle Tom has lost part of its heritage. We are just "getting set" ourselves for a good evening, for there are a number of good parts in the play, and the Bvanston Stock company has the players to give us a fine presen- tation. PREPARING FOR SANE FOURTH IN WINNETKA The first preparations for a sane Fourth of July in Winnetka have been made by President Robert Steven- son of the village board, who has ap- pointed a committee to take charge of the celebration in the village.
