The number of o;ub3cribers to the North . Shore Theatre Guild has grown from year to year in most gratifying manner. From a mere handful of two hundred fifty in ' 1921, it · had reached approximately 1,500 in 1927-28 and has not, to all reports, ceased growing. It is interesting to see that . nearly one-half of the subscribers to the 1927-28 season had renewed their s uhscript.ions for 1928-29 before the actual start of the season's activity. The Guild is organized not for profit, and all of the funds obtained are used for the production of the four plays of the sea son. It stands to reason, therefore, that the more subscribers will mean the better productions, with the attendant benefit to all concerned. So the Guild managers have set their goal higher than ever before and hope that the 1928-29 season will see the biggest and best membership the Guild has known. Membership in the Guild will not differ from that of the past. The annual subscription will be eight dollars, and the holder · will be entitled to eight tickets to the four plays. The plays will be presented in Evanston, Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, Highland Park and Lake Forest, and any ticket will be accepted in any town and at any performance. The local chairman and her committee are very glad to answer the questions of any who are interested in the Guild, or application for information may be made to the Business Manager, John Allen Stewart, at the headquarters at 1706 Sherman Avenue, Evanston. Mrs. Frederick W. Bentley, one of the vice-chairmen of Mrs. Jacob Baur's republican national finance committee, is giving a bridge party in the Gold room of the Congress hotel on the afternoon of October 22, from 2 o'clock until 5, in the interest of the Hoover campaign fund. Prizes will be given at each table, and speakers will appear twice during the afternoon to give ten minute talks. Rotary Children Will Begin Life JJlith Bank Account The Wilmette Rotary club has taken up the cudgels of the anti-race-suicide cause, having elected to offer a premium for every child born into the family of a Wilmette Rotarian. This deci. s ion came at the club luncheon Vvednesday of this week, when Daniel M. Davis, Wilmette Playground director, and a Rotarian, presented a motion to the effect that announcement of the birth of a child in a Wilmette Rotary household shall be accompanied by a handsome purse to be presented to the new-born as the nucleus of a bank account. The motion received the prompt second of Supt. J. R. Harper of the public schools, who, one of the club members observed, shares obviously with Mr. Davis the hope for an unabated development of the school population of the community. A seven-pound boy, who arrived in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Aram K. Mestjian this week, is to be the first beneficiary of the Rotary club's generosity.
