Antique Auction Featured Part Of Lunch-Fahion Show A fine collection of early to late 19th century antiques will be auctioned off as a speCISf addition to the fund-raising luncheon Nov. 14 of the Women's auxiliary of the Family Service and Mental Health clinic. Included are old tools and household pieces, primitives, crystal, china, stained glass, old bottle lamp, decoy and others. The antiques have been donated by the top antique stores in the McHenry county area, most of which are patronized by antique hunters and collectors from as far away as Chicago, Milwaukee, and the entire nearbv midwest. I, The auction will be a "silent" one, with interested parties submitting their bids in writing without knowing what other amounts are being bid. The dealers have donated their various items with no strings attached. All proceeds from the auction, along with the lun­ cheon and fashion show of which it is a part, will be presented to the Family Ser­ vice and Mental Health Clinic for McHenry County by the Women's auxiliary which is sponsoring the entire fund- raising function. An English professor ai playwright who once served the University of Chicago^ wrestling coach, Allan Bates, will be the second personality featured in the Creative Living .Series. He will speak on "The Presence of the Present Day Theatre" Thursday morning* Nov. 16, at 10 a.m. in the Woodstock Opera House. The program will consist largely of scenes from Dr. Bates' latest play, "Doors", presented by members of Symbiotic theatre. Dr. Bates will comment on these scenes and will use them tfis illustrations of qualities to be found in such current playwrights as Beckett and Pinter. Dr. Bates received his B.A. degree from Ohio Wesleyan and his M.A. and Ph. D. in American literature from the University of Chicago. While doing his graduate work, Bates was named outstanding athlete of the year and later became the university's wrestling coach. Following his stint < at the University of Chicago, Dr. Bates taught at Lake Forest college and Chicago State university. At present he is an associate professor of English at Northeastern Illinois university, where he also directs the Creative Writing workshop. He is a regular lecturer at the off-campus writers workshop in Winnetka. In 1965 Hull House Theatre in Chicago produced Bates' first play, "KidSfMaaffies", along with plays by Ionesco and Pirandello. His play received more critical acclaim than the other two, both by acknowledged masters of the modern theatre. Since then he has written a number of other plays which have been produced successfully at various Chicago area theatres and colleges.

Crowd Applauds Last Performance Of "Mary, Mary" The final performance erf "Mary, Mary", at the McHenry Country club dinner theatre last Friday night drew en­ thusiastic applause from a large audience. Bob McKellaway, played by Al Hodek of Elgin, a recently divorced man, had income tax problems. He was about to marry Tiffany Richards, enacted by Mavourneen Scolaro of Woodstock, which posed difficulties for his tax attorney, Tony Romano, portrayed by Anthony Aird of Round Lake. Miss Richards was a health faddist and some amusing concoctions were offered to her friends. The tempo of the play in­ creased when the ex-wife ap­ peared. Dena Fabry of Lin- HIGHLIGHT OF PLAY - This highly exciting scene is one of many auditorium Friday, Nov. 10, for three performances, through Nov. which will delight those who attend the McHenry Westside 12. Curtain time is 8 p.m. Players' presentation of George Kaufman's and Moss Hart's hit, STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD "You Can't Take It With You". The play opens in West campus The McHenry Westside Players' presentation of George Kaufman's and Ross Hart's merriest'hit, "You Can't Take It With You," will open Nov. 10 for three performances, through Nov. 12 in West campus auditorium at 8 p.m. This play has been produced more frequently in theatres all over the U.S. than any other (except possibly "Our Town") since it won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937. "You Can't Take It With You" is an evening with one of the most uninhibited families in or out of stage literature - the Sycamores. They, and their family head, Grandpa Van- derhof, are completely irrepressible, as each one goes on his own way in the same household, pursuing his own diversion. Ballet is studied in the parlor, plays are turned out on a typewriter delivered by mistake, revolutionary propaganda is distributed with homemade candy, fireworks are manufactured in the cellar and, in the midst of all the pandemonium, Grandpa Vanderhof says, "Why not do what you want to do? ...After all - you can't take it with you". What happens in the madcap Sycamore household on the night the daughter of the clan tries to create a good im­ pression on the stuffy parents of her fiance provides one of the comic high spots in a comedy the N.Y. Times' critic called "an evening of tickling fun." Under the direction of Ron Zieglowsky, the Westside Players' production of "You Can't Take It With You" features Alex Thomas in the role of Grandpa Vanderhof; Lisa Miller as Penelope, the accidental playwright; Kevin Weiss as Boris, the ballet teacher, and Deb Howenstine as Essie, equally inept at ballet and candymaking. Other im­ portant roles have been assigned to Dave Ritthaler, Andy Broman, Jerry Long, Anita Wekerle and Dave Sweeney. promises to be a night of holiday festivities. On Wednesday, Oct. 25, thirty ladies participated in a Day of Recollection at St. Francis monastery in Burlington, Wis.

They are Mrs. Michael Devereux, Mrs. Charles Buschek, Mrs. Ben Grenkowitz, Mrs. James Maloney, Mrs. William Mars and Mrs. Frank Blake. denhurst turned in an excellent performance as the divorced wife.
