WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1923 PLAYERS SEEK SPONSOR HERE Would Present "13th Chair" as Benefit for Some Wil- mette Organization NO PAY IS RECEIVED Production to Be Given in Near Future The North Shore Players, through their president, Sid- ney M. Spiegel, Jr. offer their latest production "The 13th Chair" to any organization in Wilmette desiring to produce revenue for a worthy cause. The only proviso in the offer is that the organization desiring the use of the Players' talent ; shall prove to Mr.Jessie Royce Landis Spiegel that the cause is a worthy one. Mr .Spiegel this week cited a few examples of what the North Shore Players had done in the past for other organizations in the way ot provid- ing good, clean, revenue-producing entertainment. What Players Have Done "Three Live Ghosts" was presented for the benefit of the Young Women's Community Club of Evanston with net proceeds of around $750. The same performance, given for the benefit of Highland Park American Legion net- ted $475, and for the Wilmette Im- provement association, brought in a revenue of approximately $345. "Peg O° My Heart" presented for the benefit of the Woman's Guild and Auxiliary of Evanston brought in $465, and for the Winnetka American Leg- ion, $400. No profit whatsoever accrues to the North Shore Players from these per- formances,: Mr. Spiegel states. Their small legitimate expenses are deduct- ed from the gross proceeds and the balance swells whatever fund the per- formance was dedicated to. Work Without Pay Mr. Spiegel was very emphatic about this point. He emphasized the fact that the North Shore Players wanted no financial return for their labors. Theirs is truly a labor of love, he ex- plained. They are truly an amateur organization presenting various clean, wholesome plays for the joy of the work alone. His reason for making the offer to some Wilmette organization is simple, Mr. Spiegel says. He states that there is a certain amount of work incurred in getting the players to learn their respective parts, and once letter per- fect, they naturally like to entertain as many audiences as possible. A performance well rendered to a pleas- ed audience is just as satisfying to the Players as the joy felt by a winning football team that scores over its rivals. Offer "13th Chair " "The 13th Chair," one of the best mystery dramas ever produced, will be the vehicle presented for the Wil- mette organization accepting the Players' offer. It is under the able direction of Jessie Royce Landis, well known to north shore playgoers, and has been in rehearsal more than a month. It promises unusual entertain- ment and interest. Persons or organ- jzations interested in sponsoring 'this production for some worthy cause are requested to communicate with Mr. Spiegel, at Winnetka 295, without de- lay. Don't pledge yourself to another year of dirty, laborious, uncertain coal heat.

Those who came at the usual time had to find seats at the front of the main floor or galleries. We know of no other occasion that draws so large an audience of early comers. The opening number, the well- known Overture to "Stradella" by Flotow, was presented by Mr. Dasch's men with a most engaging sprightli- ness. Then followed Haydn's Sym- phony, simple in comparison with modern orchestral compositions, but minds. The first half of the program closed with Lalo's Norwegian Rhap- sody, the weird work of a master com- poser. Mr. Frank Mannheimer, pianist of marvelous digital dexterity, combined with high musical appreciation, pre- sented to an enthusiastic audience a concert for piano and orchestra by the famous French composer, Camille Saint-Saens. In the playing of this brilliant piece, Mr. Mannheimer gave evidence of his tremendous technical skill. In response to the vociferous applause, the pianist played a rather quiet number full of rich chords and appealing sequences. If you want to get a very choice seat at the next concert it is suggest- ed that you enter the hall at about 6:30, although the music doesn't begin Has Attractive Offer in Christmas Greeting T. Slater Gilette, 830 Lake avenue, Wilmette, whose exceptionally beau- tiful photographs of homes and scenes on the north shore have attracted the attention of artists in Chicago and vicinity, has an unique Christmas offer for residents of this village. Mr. Gillette makes up an attractive Christmas card containing a scene of your home on the outer cover,--done in sepia or black--and, on the inside, space for an appropriate greeting legend. The card is of heavy mount- ing 'paper of dignified appearance and provides "a most artistic Christmas gift. "I photograph the home or other scene desired by the prospective cus- tomer," Mr. Gillette explained in dis- playing the card samples this week, "and make up the card complete to suit the taste of the buyer. It is quite distinct from the usual type of Christ- mas card and should solve at least one of the problems of the Christmas shopper." Mrs. P. W. Bradstreet, 475 Cedar street, and Miss Josephine Hoyt left Thursday for a two weeks' sojourn in the east. While in New York they will stop at the Biltmore hotel. They will also visit in Ithaca and central New York. - ~ ROOFING over the Old Shingles ESTIMATES FREE ORTH SHOR ROOF CRAFTERS | Incorporated 3201 342 Emerson St. Park Ave. Evanston Glencoe Phone 7026 Phone 166 Jy -- ~ MORE HICHWAY POLICE, NEED Sheriff Hoffman Seeks 100 Riders One hundred more motorcycle police at a salary of $150 monthly are needed for the county highways, according to the statement of Sheriff Peter M. Hoff- man last week, as he placed Captain George H. Weideling in charge of the present county highway force. "The county highway has only seventy-three men, and it has 315 miles of state highway to patrol in eight- hour shifts," said the sheriff, "and on Sunday every mile of the 315 is as crowded as Michigan boulevard." Hereafter the county highway police are requested to pay less attention to "spooners" in the Forest Preserve and keep a lookout for robberies, murders and accidents. Captain Weideling was placed in charge of the county highway force by Sheriff Hoffman, to replace Major Al- bert I. Denman, who resigned to be- come chief of police of Wilmette. The vacancy in Wilmette was caused by the resignation of Edward G. Sieber, who announced his intention of retiring from the service several weeks ago. Captain Weideling, the new county highway chief, was formerly com- mander of the mounted detail of the Chicago police department. His head- quarters will be in the county police building now being erected at Milwau- kee avenue and Ballard road. The sheriff is further credited with the statement that considerable beer running is going on these days, and seventy-three men cannot cover 315 ~ (The most Advanced electric washin HIS wringerless machine expresses the height oz achievement in washing machine design.

"Real beer is shipped in cars now- adays," the sheriff is said to have re- marked. "You can't tell it irom regu- merchandise.
