Pye, veteran missionary of North China, is to be the guest of the Winnetka Congregational church this at the church. Sunday and will address several meetings In another section Watts O. Pye is shown here with Dr. Watson, a mission worker, and General Ching, Chinese leader. Mr. Watts stands at the right. of this issue of Win- NETKA TArLk will be found a detailed an- nouncement of Mr. Pye's activities in the parish tomorrow. He spoke before the Woman's society of the church on Wed- nesday and his talk brought forth the ac- companying comment from Dr. ]. W. JF. Davies, minister of education in the par- ish: "I listened to Watts O. Pye. 1 soon be- came impressed that here was a man who belongs to that order of folks we call un- usual. As he talked in a very quiet way, I felt that I was in the presence of a man of tremendous reserve power. He is not an orator, but he tells a that story stirs your imagination, compels your attention and makes you genuinely proud to belong to a church that has a part in this gigantic work. "A province larger by a third than the State of Illinois is his field. He is push- ing out to the frontier, which makes some of us recall our early days. I came away glad that I knew such a Christian statesman: and I deeply desired that Win- netka men and women and children might see and hear this one of God's noblemen." MILESTONES WELL PLAYED Community Drama Club Play Hits the Mark By PLAY CRITIC Again the Community Drama club "hitched its wagon to a star" and did not fall off. "Milestones," in some ways the most ambitious attempt yet made, received the approval of a large appreciative audience. The settings of each period were his- torically correct and very interesting, thanks to Mrs. John Ritchie, Mrs. Louis Sherman and Ralph W. Varney. Everything was genuinely of the 1860 period--the 1885--and, finally of today. The large cast was uniformly good and some, exceptionally so. The lines were smoothly given and well-interpret- ed. Mrs. Lloyd Faxon showed her skill as director in the many attractive group- ings created during the progress of the play. The leading characters--Rose Sib- ley, taken by Miss Grace Merrill; John Rhead, played by William Boyden, Jr.; Gertrude Rhead, by Mrs. Roger Ballard, and Sam Sibley, by Barrett Conway, continued throughout the entire three acts and were exceptionally good. Charles Matz as Ned Pym; Mrs. Vernon Welsh, as Emily Rhead; and Mrs. Harry Barnum, as Mrs. Sam Sib- ley, did very creditable work in their two scenes as did Mrs. William Wersted. New Actors Do Well Dr. Paul Starr, George Van Der Hoogt, Lyman Weld and Miss Katherine Wortley vindicated the policy of the Community Drama club in giving new actors a chance to express themselves. A competent stage crew, with Charles T. Moon in charge, assisted by Messrs. Taylor and Barton, shifted scenes so promptly that the "make-up" folks, Miss Olive Grover, Miss Douglass Whitehead and Milton Higgins were put to it to get their large cast ready in time. Myron T. Harshaw and J. P. Yoder had all sorts of electrical connections made and ready to respond to the de- mand of the moment. Thanks are due to the many, many people who generous- ly loaned furniture, pictures and drap- eries of each period. Lauds Helpers "How good and pleasant a thing it is, for so many to work in harmony--for no personal financial return, in fact, at actual personal cost, in money as well as time!" Now we await "Don" coming April 15 and 16, when the club makes its final bow for this season. Give Benefit Concert for New Skokie Band Skokie school is to have a band. The preliminary arrangements have already been made and Edward Melt- zer, bandmaster at Northwestern uni- versity, has been secured as bandmas- ter for Skokie.

These are available to any pupils of the school at very low rates.
