| a) WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1922 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES - ITEMS OF PERSONAL MENTION 'The Smoking Car' Proves A Delightful Farce by Drama Club N addition to the repertoire of the Community Drama Club, came on Monday even- ing of this week, when the farce, "The Smoking Gar" by William Dean Howells, was pre- sented in the neighborhood room of Community House to a group of in- vited friends. The audience was kept in continual laughter by the predicament of Mr. Roberts, socially and professionally known as Dr. Delbert Poff. who, soon after boarding his train, is asked by a lady passenger to watch over her her small child for a few moments, while she succeeds in gathering to- gether her many packages and grips. A fairly reasonable time has elapsed before Mr. Roberts is joined by an old friend, characterized by Mr. Mer- ritt Lum, who smiles as he sees the child, and infers that the mother has intentionally abandoned her infant, leaving it in his friend's care. - 'Naturally, and not without reason, Roberts rushes off the train with the child, hoping to locate the mother in time; but to no avail. They are joined by their wives, and after ex- plaining the situation as hurriedly as possible, Mr. Lum starts off on a search, with no better results, and spying a "Check parcels" window in the distance, quickly makes up his mind to check the baby. Upon his return to the train, the women folks, having learned that the youngster had been thus disposed of, demanded that he return for it at once, and de- cided that the proper procedure was for one or the other of the couples to adopt it. And then--there is a great ar- gument, for, quite as suddenly as the whole thing has occurred, each couple came to the conclusion that it was their particular duty to care for that baby. It is just two minutes before train-time, and the argument is far from being settled, when in rushes the Mother, offering profuse apologies and thanks, to claim her babe, and to explain that she has decided not to take that particular train any- way. Other members of the cast, sup- porting Dr. Poff and Mr. Lum were Mrs. Joseph Winterbotham, Mrs. Delbert Poff and' Mr. and Mrs.. Lloyd Foliister. Most realistic was the smoking car setting, adapted from materials at hand at Community House, by Mrs. Walter Johnson, who directed the per- formance. Preceding the farce, Mrs. Asa Cooley delighted the audience with a group of songs, "Jean," "My Little House," "Chinese Lullaby," and "In the Limelight." Mrs. Robert Smith was her accompanist. Mrs. Vernon Welsh sketched briefly the life of William D. Howells. The hostess for the evening were Mrs. John Marshall, Mrs. H. P. Clarke and Mrs. Alfred Freeman.
