April 16, 1927 WINNETKA TALK THEATRE GUILD PLAY UNDER NEW DIRECTION Whitford Kane of the Goodman | Theatre Company Will Stage "The Detour" When the season's last play of the North Shore Theatre Guild is present- ed in the Jane Kuppenheimer Mem- orial hall of Skokie school, Winnetka, April 29 and 30, the audiences will witness the work of two directors new to the Guild. Owing to the departure of Alexander Dean, the Guild's permanent director, for Europe, Whitford Kane of the Goodman Theatre company has taken over the staging of "The Detour," with the assistance of Louis Ellsworth Laflin, Jr., of Lake Forest. Mr. Laflin's own play, "The Devil Obliges," was produced by the Goodman Theatre company a month ago. THe cast of "The Detour" is headed by Mrs. Taliaferro Milton and Charles J. Eastman, of Winnetka. Mrs. Mil- ton's last appearance locally was in Oscar Wilde", "The Importance of Be- ing Earnest," produced by the Win- netka Community Drama club. Her previous Guild performance was in "Pygmalion," with Charles Eastman, about two years ago. In the role of the mother in "The Detour" she has an admirable opportunity for the clear- cut, sympathetic character portrayal that has made her acting well thought of in the past. Versatile Player Mr. Eastman is cast as Steve Hary, a tight-fisted, callous dirt farmer, shrewd in his business relations but dull in the management of his domestic affairs. As a member of the WMAQ Players, Eastman is familiar to radio listeners, and has built up an enviable reputation on the north shore for his keen character delineations in the Guild productions, "Fashion," "Pyg- malion," "Come Seven," and other plays. Another important part, that of the talented daughter around whom the n- terest centers, will be taken by Mar- garet De Lay of Winnetka. Miss De Lay has taken no part in dramatic pro- ductions here since she played the lead in "Daddy Long Legs," the New Trier High school Senior play of 1922. Since that time she has been attending Smith college where, in her last year, she also took a leading part in the Smith College Senior play of 1926. The juvenile male lead is taken by James Wetherall, of Chicago. Parts Well Cast 'All the parts have been excellently cast, according to Mr. Kane, and are making rapid progress with their re- hearsals. The Guild will present another per- formance of "Ariadne," its third play, hy A. A. Milne, at the Hinsdale Wo- man's club of Hinsdale, Ill, on April 19. The part left vacant by the de- parture of Miss Laura Thompson for Europe will be taken by Mrs. William D. Sidley, of Winnetka. Chicago Musician to Hold Vocal Classes in Winnetka Miss Genevieve Mullen, a teacher in vocal music and a well known singer, will conduct classes in the studio of John Borine, 859 Elm street, Win- netka, on Wednesday of each week. Miss Mullen has had a great amount of teaching experience, having been a supervisor of music in public schools and conducted private studio work in the Marquette University Conserva- tory of music. She also has taught in the Wisconsin College of Music in Milwaukee and recently has given pri- vate instruction in Chicago. Camp Fire Girls Make Plans for Spring Food Sale The Winnetka Camp Fire girls will hold their Spring Food sale Sat- urday morning, April 23, in Commun- ity House. This is an annual event, which means a great deal to the girls, and one into which they put much fine effort. One of the aims of Camp Fire is to stimulate the girl to be helpful in the home, and to become increasingly more skilled in the arts of home-making. So the Camp Fire Girl takes pride in her cooking, not merely for the honors she wins, but because of the quality of the results. Fach spring and fall the Winnetka Camp Fire Girls hold a food sale, the proceeds of which go into the general treasury. Winnetka housewives who have attended these sales in the past have been most enthusiastic over the delicious food displayed. In fact, at the last sale, it was difficult for the judg=s to decide which table was the best. It is stimulating and encouraging to the girls to have the public attend these sales. Fach of the seven groups has its own display table and is respon- sible for the selling. Members of the Camp Fire council serve as judges, awarding honors to the best table as a recognition of fine effort. This year the Blue-Birds (younger Camp Fire Girls) will have a table. Mrs. E. E. Stults is general chairman, assisted by a committee from the Camp Fire council. Friends of Camp Fire and all who have never attended one of these sales are especially invited to do so by the Camp Fire Girls on Saturday morning, April 23. The sale opens at 10:¥ o'clock and lasts until noon. It is an opportunity for Winnetka housewives to secure delicious food for their tables at reasonable prices. Voters Scarce at Four North Shore School Elections Complimentary ballots were cast by the voters of Winnetka, Glencoe, Kenilworth, and New Trier township for the candidates in the three school board elections which were held last Saturday. In each instance the ballot- ing was very light and none of the candidates faced opposition. In Winnetka Ernest S. Ballard, can- didate for president; Barret Conway and Mrs. Gertrude Lieber, receive 39, 39, and 38 votes respectively. The Glencoe balloting resulted in the election of H. Earle Hoover as president, and Edward C. Austin, Ed- ward Sonnenschein, Mrs. H. F. Hor- ton, and M. H. Karker as board mem- bers. Arthur T. McIntosh was re-elected president of the Kenilworth Board of Education and John M. Roberts and Mrs. John I. Wilds as board members. Forty votes were cast for each. Leslie F.
