THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1920 ISSSSI ISS Bob White! Local talent has been given an excellent opportunity to demonstrate its theatrical possibilities in the fascinating pastoral musical extravaganza, "Miss mmim^mM Bob White" under the direction of Miss Orpha M. Wil- cox of the John B. Rogers Producing Company. Miss Wilcox studied music at the Oberlin Conservatory and Dramatic Art under Professor P. D. Sherman of Oberlin college. During the war she, was a member of a company who gave entertainments at Camp Green at Charlotte, N. C, and at Camp Meade, Md., for our soldiers. This delightful little opera is to be presented on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, October 27 and 28 and the Wilmette Woman's club under the auspices of the Associated Guilds of St. Augustine's church. Mrs. E. A. Kaumeyer, is general chairman of the affair, Mrs. R. F. Davis, assistant chairman. The Finance com- mittee includes, Mrs. A. E. Logie, chairman, and Meesdames Mort- imer B. Skinner, Charles Wachs, George E. West; Mrs. R. P. Swof- ford is chairman of publicity and is assisted by Mrs. Nathaniel Webb and Mrs. Thomas Hardwick. The Talent committee is headed by Mrs. B. F. Bilsland, and includes Mesdames Howard E. Warner, George C. Phillips, Hubert Carleton, John Ho.ffman, Charles Wachs, Thomas Hardwick and Clarence D. Worthington. Miss Mildred Ummach of Wilmette, who is a student at New Trier High school, has displayed unusual talent in her interpreta- tion of the leading role as Miss Bob White. They say it is going to be worth the price of admission alone to see W. Harlan Ware, and Dean Stevenson, as the two comedians, eat pie and swallow the floating islands. Both Mr. Ware and* Mr. Stevenson, have had professional ex ;perience, Mjj, Ware having- taken part in the play "Too Much Business" with the Wales Players, and been engaged on a Chautauqua circuit this past summer. Under the direction of Oliver Hinsdell, Messrs. Ware and Stevenson will appear as a team in vaudeville this winter on the coast. Mr. Stevenson has had professional experience in a musical comedy stock company, and in vaudeville. In the play to be given this coming week these two comedians have sev- eral dances that will make your sides ache with laughter and their "Hunger" and "Weary Willy" songs are going to be some of the hits of the show. The choruses have many catchy and lingering melodies to sing fol- lowed by some pretty dancing.

The idea of a tag day for the Chicago Children's Bene- fit league is, primarily, that the small giver of money will have an oppor- tunity through his mite to help our dependent children. It is a great thing to know that we have helped even in a small way, in saving these less fortunate little tots from moral, physical and mental starvation; that we have decided in giving them some of the care and advantages which in our homes are everyday common- places. To replace sickness with •health, poverty with comfort, tears with smilesâ€" to mold, to teach, to aid_these are the inspiring purposes of the Chicago Children's Benefit league. Wilmette women who were out in the early morning to tag included Mrs. Jacob B .Greiner. chaperone; Mrs. E. A. Kaumeyer, Mrs. Alfred L. Hermann. Miss Ethel Lusted, Miss Eleanor Ambler, Mrs. Howard Muss- en, Mrs. Ira Jones and Mrs. Charles Wachs.
