Hl 40 WINNE TK A-TALK October 22, 1927 Goodman Theatre Scores With Dumas Melodrama (By Robert O. Jordan) The Repertory company of the Ken- neth Sawyer Goodman Memorial theater opened its third season Monday evening, October 17, with "The Tower of Nesle," by Alexander Dumas. Mel- odrama is a departure from the cus- tomary type of play presented at the lake front playhouse, but how success- fully it can be given there was shown in the initial performance. Under the direction of Thomas Wood Stevens, head of the drama department, the old thriller of Paris in the time of Louis X, was splendidly acted by some twenty members of the company. W. H. Belmont, a member new this year, gave an excellent impersona- tion of the adventurous and resource- ful Captain Buridan. Whitford Kane appeared with great success as Lan- dry, the unscrupulous ex-soldier. The part of the sinister tavern keeper, Orsini, was excellently portrayed by Roman Bohnen. Credit for the artistic new stage set | that tings is due Leslie Marzolf, scene de- signer for the company. For the nine scenes of the play, the same general setting remained in place through- out the performance. Changes from the tavern to the tower, to a street were convincingly achieved by the shifting of a single section of back- ground and the substitution of ap propriate pieces of furniture. Each scene was painted with light to give a color effect entirely different from which preceeded it. In every way, "The Tower of Nesle" was a de- lightful and worthwhile performance. Twenty-eight students from Lane Technical High School, Chicago, decided recently to tour Kentucky, but did not wish to take too much time for the journey. A North Shore Line Motor Coach was chartered for the trip. All points of interest in the "Blue Grass" region were visited. Only three days were required for the trip, and a distance of 1,180 miles was covered! Whether for long trips or short trips, fast trips or leisurely trips, North Shore Line Motor Coaches afford utmost comfort, safety and convenience. Information about the chartering of motor coaches can be obtained from the North Shore Line Traffic Dept., Room 602, 79 W. Monroe St., Chicago, Ill. ro MILWAUKEE WAUK Sore SKOKIE VALLEY OME people have a mistaken idea about the Skokie Valley. They look upon it as an undesirable lowland. Nothing could be farther from correct, considering the Skokie Valley as a whole. There are sections, it is true, which have been unadapted to home-building. But most parts of the Skokie Valley are unexcelled in natural splendor--in desirability as home sites. this is true is convincingly demonstrated by the selection of this vincinity for *he establishment or numerous fine estates. Convenient transportation came to this territory with the opening of the North Shore Line's Skokie Valley Route. By virtue of that fact, the Skokie Valley already is being transformed to a great new community of homes. pertinent facts ahout the SHERIDAN ELMS HIGHMOOR BRIERCATE WOODRIDGE NORTHBROOK GLENAYRE HARMSWOODS SKOKIE VALLEY NORTH CHICAGO FORT SHERIDAN HIGHWOOD DEMPSTER ST.

Rigid Inspection System for Chandler Motor Cars "When the average motor car buyer purchases a new tomobile and the motor has a world!'@f power, is quiet, and provides all around efficiency, it is taken for granted that the car is satisfactory, but very few stop to con- sider the painstaking care and preci- sion exercised by the builder in order to achieve this standard," remarked Mr. Meyer of Tom Hay & Son, local Chandler distributor. "The efficiency of any power plant depends not only upon the quality of the materials used and the care taken in building, but also--and finally--upon the testing and inspection of the com- ponent parts that make up the finished unit. $ id "There are many hundred separate inspections made of the various parts that enter into the construction of the three series of Chandler motors," said Mr. Meyer. "Parts are checked and rechecked numerous times in order that the chances for error may be absolutely eliminated as far as is hn- manly possible. "From the time the materials are established by the engineering depart- received at the factory until the finish- ed car leaves the plant, hundreds of inspectors are alert to catch any possi- ble imperfection and make certain that each unit is up to the specifications ment." In 1926 there were 2,259 machines in Illinois mines which produced 50,746, 684 tons of coal--74.8 per cent of the state's total production.
