THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27. 1988 Critics Accept "First Lady" As Best Modern Comedy "First Lady," the play to be preâ€" sented on Friday night, November 18 at the Highland Park High school by a capable cast of 31 playâ€" ers, has been accepted by playâ€"goâ€" ers and columnists alike as one of the best of modern comedies. Scinâ€" tilating witticism and twoâ€"edged repartee are so much a part of the play that every audience has felt itâ€" self to be wellâ€"nigh perfectly enterâ€" tained. Percy Hammond of the New York "Heraldâ€"Tribune" said of First Lady, "Miss Katherine Dayton, & wideâ€"eyed historian of Washington and George S. Kaufman, her confedâ€" erate, both of them adept at seeing the funny side of serious things, laid into their subject with humorâ€" ous gusto. Bright, metallie wit shines and flashes through the play." "Ahn entertainment which gives one every excuse for cheering," said John Mason Brown of the "Post," while Robert Garland characterized it as stirring up "a hornet‘s nest of hilarity. A rich and riotous razzâ€" berry, First Lady is more satiric than a Senator, more comic than a Congressman." Epigramatic Walter Winchell pronounced it simply, "Public Entertainment No. 1"! The cast of First Lady hopes to present as wholly a successful perâ€" formance as did that of last spring‘s "Pride and Prejudice."

The Jack and Jill Juvenile Theater Guild is to be the means of reâ€"creating the strange happenings in the land of fantasy for the boys and girls of Chicagoâ€" land.

Many members in the cast of the sixty boys and girls who will present the opening production, "Pinocchio," are professional actors of stage and radio. Alternating in the role of the puppet are a young cousin of the late Will Rogers, ten year old Chuck Grant, heard in "Judy and Jane" and "Scattergood Baines" and a young player in Helen Trent," Cleveland Towne. Other productions under consideraâ€" tion for the season are "Heidi," "The Little Lame Prince," "The Camel with the Wrinkled Knees" and "Ali Babi and the Forty Thieves." Chicago Paper Prints Letter On England A letter from Miss Ruth Pardee to her father, Mr. Harvey S. Parâ€" dee, appeared last week in an issue of a. Chicago daily paper. Miss Pardee, who is taking graduate study at Oxford university in prepâ€" aration for her doctor‘s degree in social anthropology, tells of Engâ€" land‘s status in the last crisis and says "Great Britain. backed down in the face of Germany‘s demands in the recent European crisis beâ€" cause it is scared to death of Hitâ€" ler," and because it considered Szechoslavakia was not worth the price of another world war." Miss Pardee, who was graduated from the University of Chicago in 1937 wrote the letter at the request of her father who cabled her "to send a careful report of her personal observations of present British pubâ€" lic opinion current affairs."

Nordburg, representative of the Highland‘ Park Press, atâ€" tended the preview yesterday of the new Mercury and the 1989 Ford in Detroit. Men representing various publiâ€" cationsâ€"magazines as well as newsâ€" papersâ€"from all over the Middle West including Canada, were there. They were met downtown by Ford busses and were taken to the Rouge plant at Dearborn. After being registered and given our credentials, we were taken on a tour through the plants where we were shown various testing operâ€" ations which insure the best posâ€" sible automobile that can be built. After this tour of inspection, we were taken to the Ford theatre where the new cars were shown on the stage. They also showed a movie portraying the various operâ€" ations and their vast holdings. The new cars are simply beautiâ€" ful and the mew Mercury should be a sensation. There was no eviâ€" dence given as to what price it will bring, although one could almost feel sure that it will cost around $1,000. It is supposed to take the place between the Ford Deluxe and the Zephyr. > The 1939 Fords and the Mercury will make their bow to the general public on November 3. The Merâ€" cury as well as the two 1939 Fords, the V8 and the Deluxe, will be equipped with hydraulic brakes. The Mercury is streamlined, reâ€" sembling somewhat in contour the Fords and the Lincolnâ€"Zephyr. It has a 95 horse power engine mountâ€" ed on a 116 inch base. The two 1939 Fords are more streamlined. There will be no pictures availâ€" able on these new cars until the anâ€" nouncement on November 3. Many photographers were there taking pictures but were asked to keep them from publication until Noâ€" vember 3. We were told, however, that the preview could be publiâ€" cized and pictures of some of the TKE PRESS testing operations could be shown. After the movie we had a turkey dinner and at this occasion I was fortunate to shake hands with Mr. Edse!l Ford, who happened to be dining at the table next to mine with a very close friend who introâ€" duced me, After the dinner we were taken to the proving grounds where we were shown the test tube in which a car is operated at a speed of about 80 miles an hour against a wind velocity of 60 miles, This is all done mechanically and it is quite a sight. We also went into a refrigerator in which the temperaâ€" ture was 12 degrees below zero. There were two motors running for test purposes but we stayed only a few minutes. When we were at the proving grounds later for the review, I saw Mr, Henry Ford. He said nothing but was there with his son Edsel and the camera men were surrounding him like a bunch of bees. . Our friends, Babe Meigs, seemed to moâ€" nopolize all the big executives and he was with Mr. Henry Ford most of the time of the preview. When the cars came down for the first view past the reviewing stand, the announcer said: "Now you will witness the Ford Quality Group." These were the two Fords, Merâ€" eury, Zephyr and Lincoln. I had a ride in the Mercury and it cerâ€" tainly is a fine riding car. Former Governors Talk In Highland Park Wednesday Night The well attended gathering of the Young Republican club in Highâ€" land Park Wednesday night had as guest speakers Congressman Ralph E. Church, who introdauced former Governor, now Congressman Ralph Brewster of Maine.
