Cal Te a TT WINNETKA TALK a ----y Jae November 26, 1927 19 New Trier Players Do Splendidly in [3 4 . » Inside the Lines By M. W. The New Trier Dramatic club pre- sents its first play of the season, "In- side the Lines," by Earl Derr Big- gers, Saturday evening, November 19, in New Trier auditorium. The re- hearsals for this play had been going on for some weeks under the coaching of Gordon Van Kirk, so that the cast gave a finished performance Saturday evening. Frank Gilchrist was splendid as Henry Sherman, banker and leading citizen of Kewanee, Ill, who, un- fortunately, took war time to take his wife and daughter to Europe where "everybody's broke, millionaries and all." Much to the amazement of the entire Sherman family, very few people in Europe have heard of Kewanee. The parts of Mrs. Sherman and Kitty Sher- man were played by Vivian Soukup and Harriet Williams, respectively. Robert Spiegel has the part of Joseph Almer, a hotel keeper on the Rock of Gibral- tar, where the plot takes place. Al- mer is a spy in league with Marie, a cigaret girl, played by Virginia Harvey. Jaimihr Khan, a servant in the house of the Governor of the Rock, was play- ed by Rollin Simons. Captain Wood- house, played by John Iliff, did nicely in his role of worrying one Jane Ger- son, and Major General Crandell, to distraction. The part of Jane Gerson, buyer for one of New York's Fifth avenue shops, is ably taken by Jean Marx, and that of General Crandell, governor of the Rock, by John Betak., Jean Thackery had the part of the charming Lady Crandell who took such an interest in the affairs of the poor vet rich Ameri- cans. George Cogswell was the dis- solute Capper who was "an Enelish- man and loyal." The parts of William Kimball. Sergeant Crosby and the Major Bishop were taken bv, Robert Brown, George Pearse, and Burton Ascheim. The entire cast took their parts with a naturalness and charm that is highly commendable. Judging by this first presentation of the Dramatic club we are looking forward to a fine year. Automobile Club Head Fights U. S. Auto Tax An eloquent plea for the repeal of the Federal War Excise Tax on pas- senger cars was submitted to the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives recently by Chas. M. Hayes of Winnetka, president of the Chicago Motor Club, and a mem- ber of the executive committee of the American Automobile association. Mr. Hayes was one of several dele- gates on hand to testify before the committee at Washington, when the American Automobile association was granted time to present to the com- mittee the reasons why the car owners of the country are insistent on the elimination of the burden of more than $65.000,000 which they now annually contribute to the treasury on account of the "hang-over" War Excise Tax on passenger automobiles.

Even now we are proud of our results. In two months we feel that we have made The New and the Old a splendid start. They draw--not mechanically. They are not copying by rule or in an unfeeling manner but they are learning to draw the figure intelligently, sometimes without the model. Our aim is that they should be able to draw, to ex- press themselves and that the drawings should look like the model. But also, they are being taught the new, beautiful solid ideas that are in modern art so that when they enter the world of art, professionally, a few years hence, they may be equipped to fill the need of their time. Instruction largely individual. Enrollment any time, day or evening. Visitors are invited.
