CIRCUIT THEATRE TO PRESENT MELODRAMA studied in the Circuit theatre studio. Wings will be used for the most part instead of flat scenery. ‘The costumes will all be in the most elegant manâ€" ner of the periodâ€"and in that period, elegant was an adjective that meant much. Gentlemen in lowâ€"crowned derâ€" bies and side whiskers will bow to waspâ€"waisted, ruffiedâ€"skirted ladies, and, in the last act, in the old roller skating rink in Madison Square Garâ€" den, the entire stage will be alive with merryâ€"makers on rollers â€" the whole cast, if you please ending the play on skates. % Thursday, October 23, 1930 Thrilling Features It would take a long time to tell of all the thrills the north shore audiâ€" ences may expect to see in these four acts and 10 magnificent scenes, but they may be assured of many. One can only briefly intimate, without givâ€" ing the plot away, that excitement ruris high when, for example, Nellie is bound to the railroad tracks and a giant locomotive rushes headlong down upon her. > The acting company for this proâ€" duction of "Nellie" will contain many who are among the best amateurs the north shore can supply. Though not entirely complete, the company will include Mrs. G. T. Eggleston of Evâ€" anston as Nellie, Frank J. Morre of Glencoe in the role of Walter Hilton, the villian, and Joseph K. Shippen of Glencoe as Jack Carroll, a young inâ€" ventor, the handsome hero. Samuel S. Otis of Winnetka will direct the production, and John Allen Stewart of Evanston, business manager of the orâ€" ganization, will manage the company and its tour on the north shore circuit. May Have to Quit To return to 1930, the outcome of the subscription campaign now being conducted by the Circuit theatre, and through it the future of the organizaâ€" tion, is still a thing to be determined. Being entirely unendowed, and pledged to invest the proceeds of each season for the productions of that year, the North Shore Circuit theatre finds itâ€" self at the moment in.a very precariâ€" ous position. North shore residents are found very loath to subscribe to the organization this season, even though the annual dues of eight dolâ€" lars, when considered in the light of the eight tickets which it means, brings the cost down to but one dolâ€" lar for each admission to the plays. Reasons Offered "Business depression" and "hard times" are the reply on all hands, but unless the hardâ€"working local comâ€" DR.

The Press Wantâ€"Ads for results (Continued from page 4) DENTIST mittees meet with more success soon, the entire organization of the Circuit theatre will have to be abandoned. Plans for "Nellie‘ will proceed, optimâ€" istically, until Nov. 1, and if returns of that date can not warrant a continâ€" uance of the little theatreâ€"this year celebrating its decennial anniversary â€"the doors will close on that date and the Circuit theatre will cease to be a part of the life of Chicago‘s north shore. Circuit theatre affairs are in the hands of a large, local committee in each of the towns in which the plays are presented. Any committee memâ€" ber, or Mr. Stewart in the studio in Evanston, will be very willing to talk with all who are interested in the :heatre and in seeing its work continue through this season and the future. Under the South American political system, just having a vogue, the priâ€" mary election and the inauguration all take place at once, and there is no provision for a recount, â€" Detroit Free Press. THE PRESS If the average man will continue to buy the things he normally needs, he will assist business in its climb back to prosperity, Robert P. Lamâ€" ont, of Lake Forest, secretary of commerce, told the United Press last week. Lamont Urges Average Spending for Normal Needs to Aid Business He cited evidence from governâ€" ment reports which he regards as encouraging evidence that consumers are buying and thereby helping to stimulate retail trade, which he conâ€" siders the backbone of business acâ€" tivity, Secretary Lamont, a business man of long experience and director in many concerns, was asked by the United Press what the average man and woman could do to help stimuâ€" late business conditions. > "The business man," he replied, "has a certain obligation to the comâ€" munity to keep his men employed as far as he possibly can to help hold up general buying power. Likeâ€" wise the individual salaried person ind wage earner has a similar reâ€" sponsibility to contribute to the genâ€" cral business activity of his communâ€" ity. ~The most important single thing that can be done now is ‘for each one of us to continue normal, reasonable We don‘t know how Mahatma Gandâ€" hi is going to pan out as a revoluâ€" tivnist, but he ought to be a big suc» cess as a backâ€"toâ€"nature dress reâ€" former if he could be induced to come to this country.â€"Detroit Free Press.
