Appear at New Trer December 2 and 3 The Campus Players of Northwes- taken the place in Northwestern the- tern university, a student theatrical atricals left vacant by the graduation organization giving two plays a year,' of Miss Thelma Fitzwilliam, also of will present George M.

Players' production, "Within The Law", caused favorable comment from critics throughout Chicago and vicin- In producing this clever comedy the ity. Miss Purcell's type is especially Campus Players have secured one of | adaptable for her part in "Seven the most able and accomplished casts! Keys to Baldpate." that has appeared "in Northwestern campus dramatics for years. Ivy Mae Smith, a senior in the uni- versity, takes the leading part. Miss Smith won considerable distinction for herself last year when she played the leading role in the annual Junior Play. She is a commedienne whose stage ability is far above that of the average amateur. Miss Natalie Purcell, of Evanston, playing the part of the girl reporter, is beyond question the most talented The leading man's part is taken by Miss C. Walter Young, president of the senior class this year. Mr. Young has appeared in several previous col- lege plays, and was a member of Northwestern's debating team. His voice is particularly strong and clear, making it possible for him to make the most of his lines in the coming production. Others in the cast are Miss Mar- jorie Garvey, Miss Mabel Elliot, Hay- ward Paddock, William Woodruff, Smith, and Wendell Wheeler. Mr Smith, of Wilmette, besides being bus- iness manager of the club has taken a character part in the play. Wendell Wheeler and Hayward Paddock are both of Evanston. The whole cast is one of exceptional ability. The technical end of the staging of the play is in the hands of Marvin Dixon and an able group of students who are professionally interested in the study of modern stage artistry. The color effecets and stage lightning | will be aided by the complete equip- ment at the New Trier auditorium. The play itself is an acknowledged hit. It is a thriller from start to fin- ish. With the experienced coaching of William Gregory, producer of "Daddy Long Legs", and with the ar- ray of talent in the cast, the play will have a deft professional touch that is so often lacking in ordinary college NEW TRIER GIRL GRADS LEADERS IN COLLEGES More New Trier alumni are bring- ing credit upon their alma mater in' the various colleges and universities. Word was received at the high school this week to the effect that the Misses Gwendolin Mills and Eugen- ia Moore have "made" the Fresh- men hockey team at Beloit. Miss Vivian Ratcliffe of the class of 1920 at New Trier is doing honor work in Physics and Economics at Mount Holyoke. Word has been received from Wel- lesley that Miss Marian Montgomery, 20, has attracted special attention for her theme work in English. She was called into a conference by her teach- er and asked where she secured her training. The instructor declared that the themes Miss Montgomery had been handing in were among the best ever written by a freshman at Wellesley.

Christmas seals and Health bonds are now on sale at every drug and department store and among the school children. It is the season set apart for Thanks- giving and giving. "First we pause to remember bles- sings and then we show our grati- tude by trying to pass them on", says Mrs. D. H. Maxwell, secretary of the Grosse Point Health Center. "Good Health, the greatest of all blessings, we can help pass on by buying Christ- mas seals. They represent a great public health work, about which our enthusiasm grows as we know it more intimately. "Grosse Point Health Center, with its splendid visiting nursing service, is a fine example in our own commu- nity. Children Best Salesmen "The children in the schools have been our finest salesmen. The mer- chants cannot have understood the full meaning of those penny stamps or the children would have had com- petitors. "Let's all understand that here we have an opportunity to help a valu- able social work that is being intelli- gently conducted." Christmas packages is an indication of the sender's endorsement of this work. The funds realized from the sale of Christmas Seals has brought good health and Christmas cheer into thousands of homes. The Grosse Point Health Center re- ceives the greatest portion of its sup- port from funds collected by the sale of the Christmas seal and Health bonds; the nurse stationed at this center has one-half of her salary paid from this fund in addition to the cost of her supplies and incidental ex- penses; the Crusade work; the Nu- trition classes; and the Tuberculosis clinic are all supported through the sale of seals. The chairmen of local committees, which have been ap- pointed in the northern section of the county are as follows: Wilmette, Kenilworth and Gross Point, Mrs. John A. Hoffman. Winnetka, Mrs. Stephen A. Foster. Superintendent Glencoe School. Glencoe, Mr. Arthur B. Rowell, The seals have been placed on sale in practically all of the public and parochial schools in these villages. IF YOU BREAK EVEN YOU AREN'T A REAL GAMBLER St. Louis, Mo.--Gather around close- ly, gents, and let Prosecuting Attor- ney Mueller of St. Louis County, give you a definition of gambling. He is replying to a query from Sheriff Will- mann as to "what is gambling?" "Well, Sheriff," says Mueller, "it's about like this: If a man plays a game of chance and gets back more or less than he puts up, he's gambling. If he gets back just what he put up, that's not gambling." Now let the defense contend that their clients "broke even." ANOTHER CHAUNCEY Chauncey M. Depew shocked the American Legion of New York the other day by appearing to ask for his war service medal. He was but a name-sake of the world's greatest after-dinner speaker, however, who was a supply sergeant in the A. E.
