fo WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1923 SKOKIE PUPILS GIVE PETER PAN Convert Barrie Novel Dramatic Sketch into About 40 pupils of the fourth, fifth and sixth grades of the Skokie school will take part in the play "Peter Pan" that the three grades will produce in the Jane Kuppenheimer Memorial hall next week-end. It has not yet been decided whether the performance will be limited to Saturday night or whether there will be two entertainments, one on Friday and another on Saturday night. At Christmas time the children started to read J. M. Barrie's works. As they read, they dramatized. They liked "Peter Pan" so well that they decided to produce it with the help of Mrs. Frances Murray, dramatic supervisor. "Peter Pan" is not in a play form and so the children were forced to write the play as they went along. They re- tained Barrie's words insofar as pos- sible, converting into dialogue only those parts that were entirely descriptive in the original work. . The part of Peter Pan will he played by Robert Stevens. Margaret McKin- ney will take the part of Wendy and Way Thompson will act as the famous Captain Hook, chief of the pirates. The character of Tiger Lily, who saves Peter Pan from the pirates, will be enacted by Evelyn Kruse. John Porter is re- hearsing the lines of Father Darling; Anoinette Thompson will be Mother Darling; Warner Robinson, John Darl- ing, and Ralph Dillon will play the part of Michael Darling. Members of the seventh and eighth grade dramatic classes are designing the scenery and costumes for the play. Pioneer of North Shore Dies at Age of 64 Years Louis N.

XB NeDidre Ri 1D offered ADILLAC From the viewpoint of the business man there are two basic economic rea- sons why the present Type 61 Cadillac is considered the greatest value ever in its field. 1. Its present mechanical excellence is in no small measure the result of improvements developed during the manufacture of more than 40,000 cars of this particular model. 2. The purchase price of Type 61, as a unit of the greatest Cadillac production ever at tained, is substantially lower than would be possible were it built in lesser volume. With these facts in mind it is easy to understand that, with the rising trend in costs, there may never again be so great a value presented in a fine motor car.
