May 1, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 27 Theatre Guild Gives a Fine Performance of Enchanted April "The Enchanted April," an adaption from Elizabeth's novel of the same name, was presented for the first time by any except the original company, as the final production of the North Shore Theatre Guild. It was creditably produced and one departed from the performance with a feeling the guild could well be proud of its farewell appearance for the sea- son. The action of the play took one from the ante-room of the Shaftsbury Ave- nue Woman's club, London, to a castle in Italy in early April, the month of enchantment. The story, in brief, con- cerns itself with four women anxious to be relieved from domestic and social problems and ennui, who are in search of a vacation in a manless Eden in the land of Romance in the springtime. Their peace and happiness of mind, however, results from an Eden no longer manless, and the happy solu- tions of their problems is solved through a series of clever and humor- ous situations. The high-lights of the acting were supplied by Mrs. Laird Bell, as Mrs. William Fisher, who gave just the right touch of austere dignity and snobbish- ness, to her part; by Helen Sanford, who gave to Lotty Wilkins, the wist- ful, wishful, quaintness of her charac- ter, and by J. Lincoln Gibson and Mrs. Donald McPherson, who as Dominico and Francesca, respectively gave a true touch to the voluble, excitable {talian servants. Miss Isabel Cline, who made her first appearance with the guild in this pro- duction, Julia Hanks, Hardy M. Ray, George F. Brewer, and E. Lyman, Jr, all enacted the characters they por- trayed, pleasingly. Open Vets Hospital at North Chicago May 15 On Saturday, May 15, the new U. S.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin Week of April 26, 1926 Chicago, Illinois JUSL an example of how we are constantly at work to keep our roadbed at high effi- ciency: 34,073 ties, costing $1.80 each, were renewed in 1925; 7,178 tons of 100-pound rail were laid; and 30,902 rail anchors were installed. \] How far do you suppose the rolling stock of the North Shore Line travels in a single year? Last year, North Shore Line trains operated nearly 11 million car miles --10,989,774 miles to be exact, the equiva- lent of 440 times around the world, and an increase of 1,107,975 car miles over the pre- vious year. This tremendous mileage em- phasizes the vast number of trains we operate to maintain the North Shore Line standard of fast, frequent service. AN 18-day, 1800-mile trip in a chartered North Shore Line motor coach was made recently by the Chicago Y.M.C. A. College Glee Club. There were stop-overs for programs in 15 leading cities of 5 states. "We are thoroughly sold on motor coach transportation", writes George W.Campbell, Director, "and certainly the North Shore Line knows how to deliver the service." A BUSINESS man living in Lake Bluff has eaten dinner on North Shore Line din- ing cars five nights a week for the last two years. That speaks for the excellence of North Shore Line food !
