FOSTER Telephone Winnetka 509-J LTG26-tfc NORTH SHORE BUS LINE APPROVED BY OFFICIALS The Chicago, North Shore and Mil- waukee railroad Tuesday of this week was granted permission by vote of the Village board, to operate a bus line in Wilmette between the Wilmette avenue station and the west limits, over a route along Wilmette avenue. Attractive busses, such as are used by the North Shore line between Waukegan and Kenosha, and between Kenosha and Lake Geneva, will be used here. The complete route of the line will be from Wilmette west to Glenview, thence north on Waukegan road through Deerfield into Highland Park. The busses are equipped with pneumatic tires. The company agrees to make stops to take on and discharge passengers at all street intersections over its route in the village. It is expected the bus line will be established in the immediate future. A license fee of $15 is to be charged for every bus operating in the village. New Trier Senior Ball Big Event of Next Week The annual New Trier High school Senior ball is announced for the evening of Wednesday, June 13, to be held at the Ouilmette Country club. The event is considered quite generally to be the most important social event of the Spring season among the younger people of the north shore. Husk O'Hare's celebrated Drake hotel orchestra, which has become familiar to all Radio fans through its nightly con- certs, has been secured to provide the music for the dance. Seniors, juniors and alumni of the school and their gudsts are eligible to attend the Senior ball. SERIOUS DRAMA WELL PRESENTED "Jane Clegg" Production Is Decided Hit "A fine piece of work" was the esti- mate placed upon the playing of "Jane Clegg" by the North Shore Players. Considering especially the fact this play is a study of characters, carefully drawn and shaded, Mrs. Landis and her com- pany deserve unusual credit. Every- body must acknowledge that only actors of remarkable ability can depict such characters convincingly, with adequate restraint. ea Too much appreciation of Mrs. Landis' work as director can scarcely be given. To drill even so proficient a group of players demands a high degree of imagination, sympathy, determination, and understanding. It may seem patronizing to attempt to put a value on Mrs. Landis' por- trayal of the wife and mother, Jane Clegg. But she gave such a realistic presentation of the resigned wife, weary of dealing with her ne'er-do-well hus- band, that a word or two in praise, must be given. Mrs. Landis' acting was certainly professional. The audience saw the real Jane Clegg before them. The illusion was perfect. Ruth Bushnell and Gordon Delay did excellently as Jane's children, Miss Bushnell calling for especial mention. W. Harlan Ware as Mr. Munce, the bookmaker, made a very favorable im- pression. Benn Carswell, the weak, shifty, worthless Henry Clegg, Jane's husband, was very well received. And Henry's mother, shown by Miss Schulmeyer, sympathizing always with her good-for-nothing son and persist- ently blaming poor patient Jane, was admirably done. Mr. Mertz's role, that of the self-righteous, complacent cashier, was adequately handled. The entr'acte music, by piano, violin and cello, was very pleasing. SIGHTLESS LAD IS BANDMASTER Clarence Richardson Leads Jacksonville Band Clarence Richardson, sightless son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Richardson of Winnetka, is winning distinction as a bandmaster. The accompanying news report from Jacksonville, Ill, gives a graphic account of the work the young musi- cian is doing. The band which he or- ganized will play next Friday at the dedication of the new hospital for ex-service men at Jacksonville. President Harding, General Persh- ing, Governor Small, Major General Henry T. Allen and other notables will also take part in the program which, it is said, will be one of the biggest patriotic celebrations ever staged in Illinois. The story reads: "When Dr. E. L. Hill, superintend- ent of the Jacksonville state hospital told his blind stenographer, Clarence Richardson, that as an office worker he wasn't worth much, his remark re- sulted in the organization of one of the most unusual bands in the coun- try. "Richardson immediately quit as stenographer and organized the "soldiers' band of the Jacksonville state hospital," which plays more than any other institutional band whose records are available. : "Fifteen patients are Mr. Richard- son's musicians. They supply most all of the music in the entertainment and religious life of the state hospit- al"s 3,500 inmates. They practice or play, Mr. Richardson said, at least eight hours a day. They play music for the dances held in the hospital's auditorium three nights each week and also play several concerts. "Mr. Richardson follows the notes on the Braille sheet of raised char- acters, and listens to his bandmen separately, correcting each member whenever a wrong note is struck. The band has three cornets, two alto horns, two drums, one baritone, one trombone, two tubas, two clarinets and two saxophones." There's a lot of formality about burning a hotel, according to Ralph Ince, who is directing Dorothy Dalton 'n her new picture, "The Law of the Lawless." He had a Paris hotel con- structed last week on the lot in the rear of the Long Island studio, and before he could burn it at night for a scene in the picture, it was necessary for him to notify the New York Fire department which stationed a number of engines at vantage points nearby. Alfred Hustwick, title writer, has just been signed on a long-term con- tract with Paramount, to continue in that capacity as a result of his clever work in writing the titles for "Prodi- gal Daughters," Sam Wood's produc- tion for Parameunt starring Gloria Swanson.
