URGES SUPPORT OF __ â€" CIRCUIT THEATRE :: Thursday, October Cazhier of Glencoe State Bank in Letter Shows Why Aid Is Merited The following letter from Fred W. Bray, cashier of the Glencoe State bank concerning the prospects of the North Shore Circuit theatre is timeâ€" ly and his appeal in behalf of that organization will find, it is hoped, ready response among the friends of the association and the north shore public in general. The letter: "To the Editor Dear Sir: "The news of the North Shore Cirâ€" cuit theater may discontinue if sufâ€" ficient backing is not obtained by Nov. 1 comes as a shock to all who pride themselves on the community attainments of the north shore. Here is an organization which compares favorably with the very best nmateur‘ theatres throughout the country and it would be a shame to have it go out of. existence. "It is learned from reliable sources that the drive for subscriptions to date can scarcely be considered sucâ€" cessful a‘though the recent additions to the list of new subscribers are deâ€" cidedly encouraging. _ Town quotas apparently are not excessive, having been established by cutting down the actual attendance records of former productions. Yet with all this there is apparantly a marked falling : off due to hard times, or. what not, amongst old and established subscribâ€" "Under the cireumstances a real emergency exists for if the Circuit theatre disappears the north shore loses in the following ways: "1, The Circuit theatre‘s accumuâ€" lated knowledge of the amiteur theâ€" atre on the north shore will be dissiâ€" pated and lost; "9, The actual equipment, consistâ€" ing of switchboards, stage paraphanâ€" alia. sconery, manuscripts, production rights and valuable lists of available actors and talent of all sort will disâ€" appear ond be lost; * ; ~"3. Reasonably priced entertainâ€" ment, just around the corner, so to speak, is lost. VThe price of admission ;s -t;fli:vrnnminalâ€"m}npare this to the downâ€"town theatres, or even the movâ€" "4, The Circuit theatre, is in a sense like Ravinia park, a monument to the idealism of the north shore and its disappearance would mark a backâ€" ward sten in the fullness of our comâ€" munity life. "It should not be overlooked that an organization which gives eight perâ€" formances to eight audiences in six communities can give more finished productions than â€" those general‘y given by smaller groups. It makes possible a more adequate expenditure for scenery, costumes and direction | than that permitted for such purâ€" poses by the more limited budgets of smaller isolated groups giving only one or two performances of each play TT "When emergencies have arisen in the past the north shore has always risen to meet them and it is difficult to believe that we are to falter in standards and attainments.. which have been built up over a period of 10 years. s _ is "’Yit;fiflv-'ho read this, will you not 30, 1930 Complaint Made of Malicious Mischief Several instances of what appears to have been in most â€" instances thoughtless mischief but in one or two cases approached vandalism have been reported on the part of a numâ€" ber of youths of high school age in Highland Park in recent weeks, and threats that the matter will be taken u> with the proper authorities unless the practice is halted have been made y some of the sufferers, who comâ€" et in touch with your local subscripâ€" ion chairman and give her your asâ€" istance, â€" Now is the time for acâ€" plain that their homes have been inâ€" vaded without regard for the safety: of contents, eggs have been broken «nd strewn on rugs, etc., and in two or three instances eggs have been showered on automobiles.
