Pretzel "Adam and Eva," the three-act comedy which will be presented on June 9 and 10, by the Threshold Play- ers at the North Shore Methodist Episcopal church, in Glencoe, gives a splendid opportunity to the players for real acting. As the play progresses, the characters gradually broaden, until the end finds some of them greatly changed. The cast for "Adam and Eva" has been chosen with much care, and according to the superior work displayed at rehearsals, the play will be exceptionally well acted. Name Cast The role of "Eva," the younger daughter of a wealthy financier, will be played by Mrs. T. E. Schulte, who is a new member of the players. W. Al- bert Kemp, who has appeared in lead- ing roles of many plays in Glencoe, will take the part of "Adam Smith," her father's business manager, who falls in love with "Eva." Franklin IL Chichester will play the father, "James King," a part that suits him admirably. The crochety old uncle, "Horace Pil- grim," has been taken by Norman E. Watson, who is well known in Glen- coe for his clever characterizations. Carl Lochner is to have a role some- what similar to that of the breezy press agent which he made so popular in "The Judsons Entertain," presented by the players in December. The role is that of "Clinton DeWitte," who has married "Julie," the eldest daughter of the King family. Miss Ethel Repass, remembered for her good work as the aunt in "The Judson's Entertain," will play "Julie." Irma Keehn has been selected as the one most capable of playing "Corin- thia," a maid, and Miss Ethel Delang will make her first appearance with the Threshold Players as "Aunt Abbie Rocker." Moncure D. Paynter as a neighbor, "Dr. Jack Delamarter," and Joseph K. Shippen as the would-be son-in-law, "Andrew Gordon," com- plete the cast. Both Mr. Paynter and Mr. Shippen have appeared in "The Judsons Entertain" and other of the Threshold Players' productions during the year. Mrs. Francis 1. Woolley, who coach- ed "Crabbed Youth and Age," recently put on at a meeting of the players, is directing "Adam and Eva." The stag- ing is under the management of Clyde Peaster and his staff. Those who purchased associate mem- bership in the Threshold Players at the time "The Judsons Entertain" was giv- en last December, will receive a card entitling them to view one perform- ance of "Adam and Eva." Single ad- mission tickets are being offered to those who are neither active nor as- sociate members. To Open Home for Bridge Mrs. John Russell Fox of Happ road, Wilmette, will open her home Wed- nesday, June 8, at 2 o'clock for a bene- fit card party to raise money for the Delta Gamma sorority house at North- western university. Under the direc- tion of Mrs. M. W. Welch of 857 wood avenue, Glencoe, chairman of the benefit, a committee of Wilmette alumnae are making plans and ar- ranging for the sale of tickets. Anyone ed in securing tickets is asked ; 30 sll Mrs. Ralph T. Huff at Wilmette Miscellaneous Program Presented at Music Club The Winnetka Music club met Mon- day afternoon at the home of Mrs. George Frazer, 639 Lincoln avenue.

Wilmette and Winnetka Girls Make Mortar Board Wilmette and Winnetka are repre- sented in the names of the students at Northwestern university who have been chosen as members of Mortar Board, national senior honorary soror- ity. Virginia R. Bixby, 1104 Ashland avenue, Wilmette, and Edith Dillon, S814 Prospect street, Winnetka, are among the nine girls selected for the sorority for their fitness, for their in- terest in their university, and their de- sire to promote and elevate educational and campus ideals. Inasmuch as Mortar Board is a national organization for the out- standing members of the junior class who are soon to be seniors, it is self- perpetuating and accordingly each vear the sitting members of Mortar Board choose the next year's person- nel. This is done with such care as to meet the approval of the student body. President Walter Dill Scott at the close of the May festival Thursday afternoon greeted the new Mortar Board membership and presented the incoming board to the assembled crowd. Mortar Board works secretly and without acclaim or publicity but ~ims always to do something construc- jive for Alma Mater and the student body. Elect New Officers at I. E. W. A.
