10 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1923 NEW TRIER PLAY PROMISES TREAT "Pomander Walk" To Be Seen March 17 BY D. F. WARE The North Shore is in for a treat. March 17, the New Trier Dramatic club, plans to present "Pomander Walk," a de- lightful three-act comedy by Louis Park- er, the author of "Disraeli." The title is of a certain commun- ity where live some delightfully unusual characters. Several love affairs, both greatly interesting and delightfully funny, keep the theme of the story stead- ily unrolling before the audience. There 1s the one eyed admiral with his beliefs as to how the settlement should be run. There is a love affair for this character for a widow finally gains her ends and secures him in holy wed-lock. Then the most brilliant love affair, that of Mar- jolain and Jack Sayle, of whcih noth- ing must be told until you see it on the stage. Even the hunch-back violinist is involved in still another love affair. Sure- ly you can imagine what laughable and interesting situations will be obtained from these three romances. Stage Setting Difficult The scenery and stage setting is much more difficult than any other production has required. The stage crew are un- dertaking to construct all the setting themselves. The set calls for five sepa- rate cottages each with a movable door and window, a river and a gasbo or sum- ner house. The play is delightfully different. The setting is very unique and all the char- acters unusual. In fact this might be called a character play. > "Pomander Walk" will be presented at the New Trier high school auditorium. Bank Will Make Awards For Prosperity Topics Is prosperity just around the corner? Apparently it is and some of the best authorities in the United States are voic- ing the idea. That one of the large Chi- cago banks is backing this sentiment with something more than money is revealed in the announcement this week by Chi- cago Trust company of a series of prizes for the stimulation of financial and in- dustrial research. Dean Ralph E. Heil- man, head of Northwestern University's School of Commerce, who has been sel- ected by the trust company as chairman of a committee on award, says that signs point strongly to American leadership not only in world finance but in industry. The Chicago Trust company awards, Dean Heilman asserts, are based on the assumption that Uhcle Sam will need highly trained bankers and industrial managers in the next decade than are av- ailable now. Hence, the prize offer at this time bears unusual significance, he adds. The awards are as follows: A triennial prize of $2,500, first to be awarded in 1925, for the best cntribu- tion on any subject relating to American business development and the modern trust company, or any allied subject in the field of finance. A first prize to be awarded annuallly, of $300 and a second prize of $200 for briefer financial and industrial studies, to be made by undergraduates of econ- omics, business, finance, or law; begin- ning in the summer of 1923. "I am sold to the idea that the United States soon is to enter an era of real business revival," said Dean Heilman, "and I think that the big financial and industrial institutions of the country will then feel the need for leaders of excep- tional ability. Everyone admits that the Furopean situation at present will render unsafe any definite prognostication but whatever turn affairs over there take it appears to be almost certain that our na- tion is due for a period of commercial and financial expansion. This will cre- ate a need for men soundly trained in the science of finance. The 'plug hat' type of banker is being replaced by the banker who helps and studies to help and serve business and his clients. It is to promote this study and the develop- ment of the right type of financial lead- ers, I assume, that the Chicago Trust Company has founded these awards." Local K. of C.
