May 12, 1928 WINNETKA TALK THRESHOLD PLAYERS IN "THE PATSY" ON MAY 18 Talented Glencoe Group to Give Interpretation of Popular Barry Conners Drama The Threshold Players of Glencoe will offer "The Patsy," a three-act comedy of family life, by Barry Con- ners, Friday evening, May 18, at the Central school auditorium in Glen- coe, South avenue and Grove streets. Reserved seats for the play are now on sale at the office of Walter P. Smith and company, 332 Park avenue, through Carl L. Lochner. Active or associate members of the organization will receive a free ticket upon pres- entation of their membership card. Those who are not members of the Threshold Players may purchase re- served seats at any time or at the box office of the night of the play. It was found that the plan of having reserved seats was a popular one, when the Threshold Players gave "Smilin' Through" last December. According to those who have at- tended rehearsals, the cast selected for "The Patsy" is a capable one, and work is progressing very satisfactor- ily under the direction of W. Albert Kemp. Mrs. Ruth Schulte is to take the part of Patricia, the "baby" of the family, who has a likeable spirited per- sonality, but who is appreciated only by her father, Bill Harrington. Mrs. Schulte will be remembered for her splendid acting as Eva in "Adam and Eva," presented last Spring by the Threshold Players. Joseph K. Ship- pen, who has appeared with entire success in nearly all of the Threshold Player productions, will be seen in the part of Bill Harrington, the father who is a hail-fellow-well-met type, with the hearty laugh and good spirits of that type, but a man who can talk back with force and direct- ness when annoyed. And he does get annoyed when he finds his little Pa- tricia underestimated. Miss Alice Catherine Mills will make her debut in the Threshold Players as Mrs. William Harrington, a peevish, overbearing type who con- siders herself a martyr, and who is apparently unaware that her unrea- sonable and petulant behavior is re- sponsible for most of her troubles. In assuming this role, Miss Mills has a chance for good character work. The part of the older sister, Grace, whom the mother favors, is to be taken by Miss Marjorie Miller, who gave such a charming touch to the part of the young "bride" in "The Bride," given in February by the Players. Grace is inclined to be selfish, cold and petulant, excepting when she has a purpose in being pleasant. Her two suitors, Billy Caldwell and Tony Anderson, will be played by Carl L. Lochner and Moncure D. Paynter, respectively. Mr. Lochner recently was seen in "The Bride," and has not only ap- peared in many of the Threshold Players productions but in those of other dramatic groups of the north shore. Mr. Paynter has also become known as an able actor and one well liked. Mrs. Andrew Day, a newcomer, will be Sadie, a friend; Norman E Camp, Patrick O'Flaherty; and Harry L. Lochner, Trip Busty. There is hardly a five-minute period in the play that does not produce a laugh, for although the situations are of the utmost gravity to those in the play, the audience finds them extreme- ly humorous. In presenting "The Patsy," next Friday evening, the Threshold Players feel they are offer- ing something that will be most en- thusiastically received. Mrs. Robert Berger of Kenilworth avenue entertained her luncheon and bridge club on Wednesday of this week. Big Athletic Show Will Swell Olympic Exchequer An all-star athletic show consisting of swimming, wrestling, boxing, fenc- ing and acrobatics will be staged by Northwestern university Saturday night, May 19, for the purpose of raising funds for the American Olym- pic team, The event will be held 'under the auspices of the Evanston Olympic committee. Northwestern and Chicago universi- ty athletes as well as a number of club athletes will participate in the carnival.

Ethel Lackey and her colleagues of the Illinois Woman's Athletic club will attempt to lower the marks in the 400, 500 and 600 yard relays. Jane and Ruth Faunts of the same club will give fancy diving ex- hibitions. A. E. Gebert New President of State Veterans' Society A. E.
