WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES - ITEMS OF PERSONAL MENTION Young Marrieds Revel Tonight At Wynnecliffe SCORE of young married couples in the village are having a series of subscrip- tion dances in private homes, most informal and jolly af- fairs with buffet suppers served at the midnight hour. The third and last of the series will be given this evening at "Wynnecliffe'" the home of Mrs. Rudolph Matz in Hubbard Woods. Among the participants are Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Richards, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Tuttle, the Preston Boydens, and Kent Chandlers, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Scriven, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur G. Cable, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Harris, Mr. and Mrs. William Boyden, Mr. and Mrs. Griscom, Bettie, Mr. and Mrs. Dell R. Boyd, Miss Ruth Matz and Mr. and Mrs. Morris Wilson. SE A signal honor has been accorded the North Shore Theater Guild in be- ing invited by the Drama League of Chicago to repeat its performance of Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion," which was given with such unqualified suc- cess in the North Shore towns in Janu- ary. Accordingly it will be given at the Blackstone theater on the after- noon of Tuesday, March 7. Tickets may now be secured at the box of- fice. The Theater Guild regrets that ow- ing to the erowded house Friday night in Winnetka, some of the members were unable to be admitted. Arrange- ments are being made by the Board by which those persons may witness the performance at the Blackstone without charge. The next performance of the Guild is scheduled for the latter part of March, when "Mixed Marriage," a serious play by St. John Ervine, will be given in conjunction with a comedy curtain-raiser. Some confusion has arisen as to the identity of the "North Shore Theater Guild," and "North Shore Players." The names are readily confused, but the organizations are separate and dis- tinct, each with its own worthy cause and ideals. --O-- A' capacity house at the Winnetka _ Woman's club on Tuesday evening as- sured the teachers of the Winnetka Public schools that the parents of the village are interested and behind them in all of their activities. The .even- ing has been voted a success from every standpoint, and the proceeds, the amount of which is still unknown, will be turned over to the teachers to buy something permament for the schools. Both of the plays '"Everybody's Husband," and "Uncle Jimmy" were well produced, and caused much merri- ment in the audience. A great deal of credit belongs to Mrs. Laird Bell, whose untiring efforts in coaching and training, made such an excellent pro- duction possible. A surprisingly large number of folks stayed to enjoy the cotillion with its many interesting features and favors, led by Mr. N. H. Blatchford, Jr., and Mr. John Reilly. The third annual Parent-Teacher's frolic has been called the most successful and -- 0 A series of Five Informal Readings by Miss Eliza Atkins Stone to com- mence on Thursday morning, March 9, and be continued weekly thereafter, will be inaugurated next week, at the home of Mrs. John Stuart, 900 Sheri- dan road, when Victor Hugo's works will be taken up.

Rumsey, at 643 Walden road. There were thirty enthusiastic women pres- ent, and plans were made to meet every fourth Monday of the month.
