| 8 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOV. 19, 1921 THEATER GUILD PLAY PRONOUNCED SUCCESS "Twelve Hundred a Year" Given at Winnetka Woman's Club Receiv- ed With Encouraging Enthusiasm "Twelve Hundred a Year", the play written by Edna Ferber on "Newman Levy" presented by North Shore Theater Guild under direction of Mr. Stuart Dailey, met with unqualified success judging by superlative re- marks heard on every side. It was given Thursday and Friday, Novem- ber 10 and 11, at the Winnetka Wom- an's club and November 12 at the Kenilworth club, in both cases before large and appreciative audiences. Even the most earnest members of the Theater Guild are surprised at the way in which the movement has been received. Memberships continue to pour in from all north shore towns from Evanston to Lake Forest. A capacity house is already assured for Lake Forest November 18 at the Winter club. Tickets were going fast for the performances at the Country club at Evanston, November 19. Ap- parently the Guild will fill a long felt want. Set Lofty Standard A standard has been set by the; success of the first play which the Guild has every intention of keeping up throughout this season and the seasons to follow. Those who wit- nessed the performance will not soon forget the wholesome argument pre- sented by the various parts of the play and the good laughs afforded by the comedy part. Each member of the cast seemed to be melted into his part. There was understanding, ease and that illusive quality termed "fin- ished" to the whole production. The orchestra under Mr. Arthur Grandquist is contributing no small part to the Guild's success. It is made up of well-known amateur musicians along the north shore, who, like the! actors of the Guild, give liberally of their time and talent for the good of the cause. The next performance will be given about January 20. Further announce- ment of this will be made at an early date. Lights Will Blink To Tell The Time Woolhiser Assures H. C. Winchell, 552 Elm street, who, in last week's issue of the Winnetka Talk suggested a general "blinking" of all lights in the village each night at 9 o'clock as a village time setter by which the residents might regulate their clocks and watches, has receiv- ed quick response from the village authorities. Winnetka will adopt the system as soon as the details can be arranged, according to Village Man- ager Woolhiser, who has the follow- ing to say concerning Mr. Winchell's suggestion : "Mr. E. W. Weber, Editor, Winnetka Weekly Talk. Dear Mr. Weber :-- "Referring to the letter from Mr. Winchell ,published in last week's issue of the Winnetka Talk, I wish to state that the suggestion made .is en- tirely reasonable and is being carried out by a number of electric utilities both in this country and elsewhere. "The village has been planning to inaugurate this time service, but can- not do so until certain improvements are made in the switchboard equip- ment to make possible the momentary interruption of current on the several circuits which supply the village. "It will also be necesary to arrange for a dependable source of daily time information for the switchboard operator upon which to base the sig- nals. "It is hoped this service can be ar- ranged for in the near future, and the suggestion of Mr. Winchell is most acceptable at this time. Yours very truly, H. L. Woolhiser, Village Manager Winnetka, I11." LEASES WINNETKA HOME Dr. George H. Musselman and fam- illy have leased the home at 799 Foxdale avenue. The residence was formerly occupied by O. J.

R Stone of Wilmette and President Northrup, representatives of the North Shore board at the recent state convention of Realtors at Peoria, gave interesting reports on the conven- tion.

Such a committee was appointed consisting of three members oi' the board from each of the north shore villages represented.

HIGH SCHOOL BOARD ACQUIRES MORE LAND (continued from page one) of the opportunities offered by our high schools has been greatly ac- centuated. In no other community in the country are the people more ap- preciative of educational advantages than they are in our own township. With an enrollment that is taxing to the utmost our facilities, the mem- bers of the board felt that they would be recreant to their trust if steps were not taken to make proper provision for the future needs of the school. "In the near future it will be necess- ary to do some additional building in order to take care of the students coming to New Trier. The township is filling up rapidly, and we must exercise as much foresight as pos- sible in taking care of these increased demands. It seems very probable that within the next few years we shall have as many as 2,000 or 2,500: students. "It will be the policy of the board to reserve the original campus, which comprises seventeen acres, for future buildings and use the recently ac- quired land for athletic activities and intra-mural sports. A portion of our added campus facilities will soon be graded and leveled, but the ten-acre tract to the east of Essex road will be reserved for athletic purposes to be used when the school shall have reached that point in its growth which shall make added facilities impera- tive."
