a WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1924 'MOLLUSC' IS WELL RECEIVED Community Drama Delights Audiences By CRITIC The Community Drama club termin- ated its season with a great success Wednesday night, April 30, with its presentation .of "The Mollusc," by Hu= bert H. Davis. The delightful play proved most agreeable alike in its keen and clever lines, its theme, and the in- terpretation given by the cast. What is a mollusc? "One who loves to lie in bed though feeling perfectly able to get up." That is Tom Kemp's definition of the nick- name which he applies to his indolent and beautiful sister, Mrs. Baxter. : Certainly Mrs. Taliaferro Milton as the. Mollusc was absolutely satisfactory. Helpless, selfish, and indolent, she was never-the-less so beautiful, so charming and so appealing that she readily filled the role of the leading lady. Mrs. Robert Bryant, her exasperated yet helpless husband, always good, did the best work he has done yet. Mrs. Edward Ball, Jr., in this, her first ap- pearance in Winnetka, proved to be a real acquisition to the group of talented people and that she is capable of fine dramatic work. Mrs. Ball was extremely good as the over-worked and loyal governess, clever but helpless in the hands of "The Mol- lusc." ; Mr. I. IL. Buchanan, as always, was a finished and most engaging character as Tom Kemp of Colorado. One is al- ways glad to find Mr. Buchanan's name in the cast of any play. The interpretation of the play was under the direction of Miss Marigold Langworthy, who ably maintains the tradition of the family for dramatic ability. ~The lovely costumes and stage set- tings added materially to the enjoyment of the audience. Mrs. Vernon Welsh attended to the properties, Miss Olive Grover managed the lighting, contribut- Img some new equipment of her own, and all the hundreds of details necessi- tated by any play were supplied or made by Mr. Magnus Martin. CAMP FIRE FOOD IS SOLD OUT IN AN HOUR About 100 Winnetka Camp Fire Girls conducted a Food Sale in Community House last Saturday that will go down in village history as one of the most re- markable successes on record. Within an hour every one of the eight large tables had been cleared of their wares and the girls netted approximately $50 as a reward for their energy and inge- nuity in the culinary art. The Food sale was an annual event and had, in addition to augmenting the Camp Fire treasury, the purpose of a competition for honors attendant upon Camp Fire requirements. First honors went to the table conducted by Mrs. Charles B. Officer's group of girls as a reward for the best appearing table in the opinion of the special judges. Every article displayed and sold at the Food sale was prepared by a Camp Fire girl, and prompted by lingering memories of the sales of other seasons, the housewives were on hand early Sat- urday morning to get favorable selec- tion from the amazingly large variety of delicacies. Each of the eight groups represented in the sale, save one, received a 100 per cent mark for contribution. The tables represented a remarkable display of foodstuffs and the sale was entirely successful from every view- point. Takes Important Post in Young People's Work Miss Ruth Pease, 605 Lincoln avenue, Winnetka, who has had intensive train- ing in Community House, has accepted the position of director of Young People's Work in the Wilmette Parish Methodist church. Miss Pease was a graduate of North- western university in the class of 23 and comes to the Wilmette parish with highest recommendations from Dean Norman Richardson of the Department of Religious Education in that school, and Dr. J. W. F. Davies, director ot Winnetka Community House. Dean Richardson says of her: "I have seldom met a young woman of greater promise than Miss Ruth C. Pease. She has strength of character, attractive per- sonality, unusual power of leadership and a very fine interest in the ideals and work for which the Church stands. I would rate her very high, indeed, among the first ten of all the girls who have been associated with us in Northwest- ern." Miss Pease will assume supervision of work in the Church school, the Girl Scouts, the Intermediate league and young people's work in general. = Read All the Want.Ads IN LEGION PLAY Miss Marian Kenney as "Tessie Fleetfoot" Photo by Wilhile Winnetka and all the north shore is eagerly awaiting the American Legion show "The Gay Adventuress" which is coming next week on May 9 and 10. North Shore Postmasters Meet at Glencoe May 7 Postmasters in the north shore com- munities from Evanston to Waukegan, inclusive, will hold their next regular meeting at Glencoe, Wednesday eve- ning, May 7, when Percy W. Armstrong, of that village, will play host. Diner will be served at Glengables at 7 o'clock. These meetings of the postmasters were inaugurated several months ago and have as their purpose an exchange of views and suggestions looking to- ward efficiency in the dispatch of the mails. Methodist Parley Coming to Northwestern Campus The next annual meéting of the Educational association of the Meth- odist Episcopal church will be held at the Northwestern university. At the recent annual meeting held at Hotel Astor, New York, Dr. Wal- ter Dill Scott, president of North- western, invited the association to hold its next meeting at Chicago or Evanston and the invitation was un- animously accepted. Dean James A. James of North- western, at the recent annual meeting of the association, recommended the selection of outstanding men and women from the graduates of Meth- odist colleges to take graduate courses of training that would qualify them to serve as exchange professors in Methodist institutions, especially dur- ing the summer session.

"Dr. Charles M. Stuart of Garreft was toastmaster," says the News of the Board of Education. Dean Thomas Holgate of North- western University also took a prom- inent part in the meeting. School Girls Launch Their Baseball Season The girls of Skokie school 'and North Shore Country Day school will start on their schedule of playground ball games next week. Teams from these two schools make up a league, and with the coming of good weather expect to do a lot of playing. During the past week the girls of Skokie were employed in industriously gathering fallen tree branches and bits of wood off of the campus in order to get it into good playing order. The en- thusiasm they displayed in helping Di- rector Harry G. Clarke with this work indicates what they will put into their ball playing. The boys have not yet worked out a plan for their games, but will no doubt do so next week.
