New Trier Cagers to Encounter Fast Freeport High Crew One of the most important intersec- tional cage tilts of the season will take place when the undefeated New Trier heavyweights meet the fast Freeport high school quintet at New Trier next Saturday.

The highest grade of basketball has been in evidence throughout the season and it is certain that the invaders will meet with op- position as strong as any they have vet encountered. "Gentle stirring" of the fabled "dope pot," however, far from discloses easy going for New Trier. The Central Il- linois quintet comes to the "leeward" of a mighty strong reputation. In last year's contests they were the victors in all of their tournament engagements, carrying off the state championship at the University of Illinois, despite "plenty" fast competition and it is reported that a number of last year's stellar players are back. The New Trier lightweights are also leading in their respective division. Only one defeat has been chalked up against them and that by Oak Park, who defeated them by one point.

The total time of the program did not exceed a half-hour. Not one mem- ber of the various casts was late or absent. All of this was made possible through the able direction of Mrs. John Marshall, acting for Mrs. Eloise Wortley, who is confined at home on account of illness. The interest displayed by the audi- ence upon viewing the efforts of the groups to symbolize and interpret the meaning of Camp Fire was evident throughout the entire performance. The seven crafts were illustrated, by one group. Dressed in costume, a girl representing the craft, stepped forward and recited a clever little rhyme. An- other group illustrated the seven points of the law, and still another gave a bandaging exhibition. Mrs. Marshall's and Mrs. Guilford R. Windes' group gave an original play written in rhyme by Mrs. Windes, telling of a dream a non-Camp Fire girl had, and showing in an amusing but clear way, just what this girl missed and could have had by joining a group. Every one of the girls had some- thing to do, or something to say in the performance, no one girl taking the entire burden. The responsibility of the affair was given to each one, which is also one of the purposes of the movement. THE VARSITY "The Cheerful Fraud," a Reginald Denny vehicle in farce comedy, in which this popular player appears as an Englishman in Hollywood, con- cerned with England and real Eng- lish atmosphere, is on the screen to- day at the Varsity theater. "The Cheerful Fraud" is based on a popular humorous novel by K. R. G. Browne, and Gertrude Olmstead plays the feminine lead. "Blonde or Brunette" will be on the screen with the change of bill Monday and Tuesday, while Wednesday will offer "The Nervous Wreck," one of the season's comedy riots, featuring Phyllis Haver and Harrison Ford. They will have assistance of an all- star cast of comedians. Next week the stage presentation will include Jensen & Fulton in "Poet- ry in Motion"; music by the Varsity concert orchestra, James Kozak, di- rector, and by the Giant Geneva organ, Louis Lohman playing. Friday and Saturday there will be an added at- traction in Col. Tim McCoy in "Win- ners of the Wilderness" and on the stage the extra added feature, "Inter- national Revue," featuring Dorothy Devine and Company in "A Musical Cocktail."
