2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1925 'KITCHEN IS WELL RECEIVED Community Players in Ex- cellent Performance BY T. M. A A large and appreciative audience thoroughly enjoyed the clever pres- entation of Thomas' three-act play, "Come out of the Kitchen" by the Community Drama Club Players Wed- nesday and Thursday of this week, and expressed their pleasure in a way which must have enhanced the joy of the actors. In many ways this was the most ambitious vehicle attempted by the Players because of the three distinct sets, the innumerable properties re- quired, and the unusually large cast. It had also the difficulty of coming to its climax in a dinner scene, ad- mittedly a tricky thing to "get across." Yet, under the able leadership of Mrs. Sherman Goble, and the faithful at- tention to details (shown through the whole play) by Mrs. Louis Sherman in charge of properties, the climax was attained and no ebb in interest oc- cured. The entire cast, many of them ab- solutely new to the Community Drama club's work, was eminently satisfac- tory. Elmer P. Sipple and Alfred Freeman did their best work to date. Wesley Brown, Gordon Van Kirk and Lyman S. Weld are all promising ad- ditions to the boards and we hope to see them again. Mrs. Davies Lazear, Mrs. Happ and Miss Florence Stewart realized their opportunities, and so expressed the best in their lines as to get frequent applause. Miss Olive Grover made a wonderfully effective black mammy, showing thereby her versatility. Vernon Welsh and Mrs. John Mar- shall carried the leading parts. and carried their audiences also. Not a point did they miss; not a situation did they over-play. Mrs. Marshall's interpretation of Olivia Dangerfield (alias Jane Ellen, the cook) was one of the loveliest and at the same time most humorous pieces of dramatic work she has ever done. Her lines were never slurred or misinterpreted. Long may she appear with the Com- munity Players group. And, as always, our thanks go out to those hard-working, altruistic men, "who act as stage crew: this time. Frank Bailey, Edear Dale Sherman SE THOSE U3 HAs JO.

Theatre Guild Players Guests of Jane Adams Miss Jane Addams if Hull House was one of the many admirers of "Fashion" as produced by the North Shore Theatre Guild at that famous center on the evenings of February 5 and 6. One of the memorable ex- periences of the cast was the dinner given them by Miss Addams on Fri- day night over which she presided and at which she pleasantly called them by their stage names. "The Guild feels that it was a great privilege to give these two perform- ance at Hull House and by so doing add a substantial amount to the me- morial fund for Laura Dainty Pelham, who was for so many years an in- spiration to the Hull House commu- nity, and an acknowledged leader of the Little Theatre movement," writes one of the members. Play-Reading Group to Hear "Devil's Diciple" The play-reading group of the North Shore Theatre Guild will hold its next meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Williams Macy, at Hubbard Woods on Tuesday evening, February 17. "The Devil's Disciple," by Shaw, will be read. Local guild members are urged to attend the meeting.
