i { WINNETKA. WEEKLY TALK lean Newspaper for a Clean Community VOL. XIV, NO. 8 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1925 TWENTY-EIGHT PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS GOT YOUR SEATS FOR BIG SHOW? If You Haven't, Better Get Busy, for "Married at 3" Will Be a Wow ALL SEATS RESERVED|| Dress Rehearsals for Legion Show in Progress "Married at 3," the 1925 Winnetka Legion show will be a winner! That is the consensus of opinion of every one who has seen the nightly rehearsals this past week. Howard H. Hoyt has been working with the cast, while Le has whipped all of the musical numbers into professional skeiches. Last week- end the cast and chor- us were out 100 per- cent for Saturday afternoon and evening and Sunday after- noon. Every night from 8 to 11 o'clock each one has been working hard. You cannot be disappointed with the show-- is the general comment of those who have witnessed rehearsals. This bright sparkling musical play will be given on May 7, 8 and 9, in the Jane Kuppenheimer Memorial hall, Skokie school, Winnetka. Tom Brown is gen- eral chairman of the show. All seats are reserved. They can be had at the WINNETKA TALK office in Winnetka, Gilbert D. Johnson and Bros. office in Glencoe, Wilmette Music Shop, or at the North Shore hotel in Evanston. All of these offices are connected by a priv- ate telephone so that applicants will get the best seats available at any one of the offices. Dawes Among Patrons Vice President and Mrs. Charles G. Dawes have been added to the list of patrons and patronesses and have pur- chased tickets for the opening night, Thursday, May 7. The Legion feels ex- tremely honored in having them among the sponsors for their annual production. The dress rehearsals begin tomorrow at the Skokie school. That shows the amount of interest and work which the costume committee has put forth. This committee is under the able direction of Mrs. Thomas M. Brooks, and in- cludes Mrs. Hathaway Watson, Mrs. E. V. L. Brown, Mrs. Montague Ferry, Mrs. Cornelius Lynde and Miss Marion Dawes. And the oriental dancer! The "Legion Show News" failed to mention her. You see the first act takes you into the garden at the home of Major Harwood. Among his guests are an Indian prince and princess. Situations arise where these guests take everybody over to their native land--India. When you go to India, you live like a Hindu and enjoy the home-like pranks and pleasures. So you see the oriental dancer comes into the picture. Come over to the play and see for yourself. Have Many Specialties Tom Brown There are other specialty dancers. Mrs. M. B. Austin, Jr., with Bonnei Miller, will waltz the song hit of the play, "I Love You" Miss Marion Dawes and Miss Norval Allen have a specialty dance. Miss Helen Yount and Mr. Bonner Miller in the opening chorus give Major Harwood's guests a worder- ful treat. The reserved seats are selling very fast, especially during the last two days. In each of the four offices which are open from 1 to 5 o'clock every after- noon, the committee members buzz the phone continually. Here's Dope on Tickets "We plan to keep each office open every afternoon this week, including Sat- urday," Mrs. Lloyd Hollister, chairman of the ticket committee, states, "We will accept telephone reservdtions during the coming week, but they must be picked up at our afternoon office or at the theatre box office by 7:45 the night of the show. Our private phone number is Winnetka 2373. The box office will be open at 7 o'clock Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights." Reservations may be made this eve- ning, from 6 to 9 o'clock, at the Wix- NETKA TALK office and also at that loca- tion next Wednesday night. Buy early to get the best seats. Thirty thousand people have been approached by publicity and only 3,000 can be taken care of at the performances. Be the one to tell the other nine about the suc- cess of "Married at 3."

Dawes had made reservations for the Thursday night performance of "Married at 3," the Winnetka Legion musical show to be staged at Skokie school next week. Dawes is one of the founders of the ex-service men's organization and was quick to "do his bit" to help the benefit performance along. The general's move brought a heavy demand for Thursday reserva- tions. Beginning Sunday, dress rehearsals for "Married at 3," which will be pre- sented May 7, 8 and 9, will be held every day until the opening night. The many members of the cast have been working night and day for a month or more to perfect their parts, and the last rough edges will be smoothed off in these dress rehearsals. Tickets are nearly all sold. The suc- cess of the show is assured, but there are still a few remaining tickets which will probably be snapped up before the wild last minute rush for the paste- boards which takes place every year. "Married at 3" was written by How- ard H. Hoyt and Ralph J. Rosenthal, both of Winnetka. Mr. Hoyt wrote last year's Legion show success, "The Gay Adventuress." The present show is a zippy musical comedy, and with the excellence of the book, and the work that has been put on it by mem- bers of the cast and all others con- nected with the presentation it is con- fidently predicted to rival any musical show now playing in the loop. It will be presented May 7, 8 and 9 in the auditorium of the Skokie school. In addition to the regular daytime hours for reservations there will be an opportunity to make reservations Sat- urday evening from 6 to 9 o'clock at the office of the WinnErka TaLk, 564 Lincoln avenue, Winnetka, and also at the same place on Wednesday eve- ning, May 6. Religious Editor Speaks Before the Sunday Club Dr. Paul Hutchinson, editor of the Christian Century, will give the second talk on "Race Prejudice" before the Winnetka Sunday Evening club tomor- row, and the group is looking forward to an intensely interesting evening. Dr. Hutchinson is particularly well qualified to speak on this subject, as he has spent several years in China and knows the Eastern point of view. Last Sunday, Willard W. Beatty spoke on the same subject. He said that race prejudice is caused largely by the unfamiliarity of one race with another and a consequent lack of un- derstanding, and also because of the differences in language customs and so forth. Another vital cause of dis- like is economic pressure. He illus- trated his points with examples drawn from the Japanese situation in Cali- fornia. On the three succeeding Sundays of May 10, 17 and 24, the club is to hear Rev. James Austin Richards, pastor of the Congregational church. His sub- jects will be announced later. which the North Shore.

Offer New Talent Mrs. Warren Agry of Winnetka ap- pears for the first time with the Guild, although her performance of the lead in "The Truth," as the opening play of the Evanston Community Drama theatre, and other plays in Evanston, was well received. Many local playgoers will remember the work of Mrs. McKendry of Ev- anston as the mother in "Mary the Third," and will follow with interest her characterization in this play. Newcomers to the Theatre Guild cast, but experienced and able actors are Miss Helen Mendenhall and Leslie Parker. The scenery for this production has been designed by Miss Lenore Smith of Highland Park, who is a student in the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. The scenery has been executed by Mr. Allyn Burtis, the stage director, and the play itself under the Guild's direc- tor, Alexander Dean. "The Youngest" will make an appeal to the younger set and affords a fitting climax to a successful season, it is said.

"Scout Night" in Winnetka is always something looked forward with joy, according to the Scouts, and this year it promises to be even better than ever, they say. Parents and friends who have attended this event each year are most enthusiastic in their praise of the things the Scouts do. This year, they have a program which they feel presents even more fully the Scout work. Of course there will be the usual O'Grady drill-down which the boys love, and which calls for keen concentration and quickness. There will be First Aid work, and a" unique knot tying contest. There will be the making of fire by friction with flint and steel. The boys will build a tow- er on the stage out of scout poles. There will be a clown and tumbling-- to say nothing of a real Play being given, which has been written by one of their number. In connection with these activities there will be shown in the assembly room an exhibit of some of the work of the Scouts, such as bridges, towers, first aid kits, cooking, etc. There may even be a parade preceeding the ex- hibition. In fact, there are several "surprises" in store. The three Scout troops in Winnetka are under the leadership of Scout- masters J. W. F. Davies, George Eisen- brand, and James Davis. The program begins at seven thirty-- doors will open at a quarter of seven. Save this date for the Boy Scouts. All friends of Scouting are invited. The fee is small and tickets may be ob- tained at the door, or from any of the Scouts. Council Acts to Open Link of New Highway A special meeting of the Village council was called Monday evening for the purpose of considering the pro- posal to open a truck highway directly west of and parallel with the Chicago and North Western railway right-of- way from Winnetka avenue to Oak street. This will form a link of the proposed through highway on the west side of the tracks, which will extend, it 1s proposed, through all the villages on the north shore and will eventually connect Chicago with Waukegan. The proposal was introduced and posted and referred to the committee on streets, drainage and forestry and was ordered published in the WINNETKA TaLk. It will be found elsewhere in this issue. If the improvement is authorized it will involve many improvements on adjacent streets and will include a subway under the railroad tracks at Sunset road. It has been virtually de- cided to construct the new road with- out state aid, since to get the latter property amounting to $63,000 would have to be acquired, whereas the total amount of the state aid would be only about $60,000. HEALTH APOSTLE HERE NEXT WEEK Dr. Charles E. Barker to Address Four Meetings at New Trier on May 8 GUEST OF ROTARIANS Will Speak Before Fathers, Mothers and Students The man who kept William Howard Taft physically fit while the Chief Jus- tice of the Supreme court was president of the United States, Dr. Charles Barker of Grand Rapids, Mich. will speak at New Trier high school Friday, May 8, under joint auspices of the Wilmette and Winnetka Rotary clubs. Df. Barker, one of the foremost apos- tles of health in the United States, will address four meetings next Friday--all at the high school. In the morning at 11 o'clock Dr. Barker will speak before an: assembly of students on the subject, "How to Make the Most Out of Life." At 1 o'clock he is scheduled to address a joint luncheon of the Wilmette and Win- netka Rotary clubs, his topic being, "The Hall Marks of the Rotarian." At 3 o'clock he will speak before a meeting of mothers of high school students in New Trier auditorium on the subject, "A Mother's Relation to Her Daughter." His last address will be at a meeting of fathers when the subject will be "A Fa- ther's Responsibility to His Son." Talks Keep Him Busy For several years following his at- tendance upon President Taft, Dr. Bark- er engaged in lecturing to the general public on health and other subjects. In 1919 he so attracted the attention of the Rotary clubs at their annual convention Responsibility to His Son" that requests came to him from all quarters of Rotary to speak. Since then he has been de- voting more and more of his time to the Rotary clubs until now all of it is devoted to them. Dr. Barker has delivered a total of more than 5000 addresses before audi- ences aggregating more than 3,000,000 persons. His justly famous address on "How to Make the Most Out of Life," especially designed to help high school boys and girls meet and solve their problems, has been delivered before more than 1,000,000 boys and girls in the high schools of the Unied States and Can- ada, probably more high school students by far than have been addressed by any other speaker. Is Dynamic Speaker "Dr. Barker," reads a comment, "is unique and any attempt to describe him is sure to omit much that should be said. He is a man of wide experience on the public platform, and his addresses are of such an amazing and inspiring char- acter that all who have the opportunity to do so should hear him. "He makes no aitempt at oratory, but he is a wonderfully interesting and elec- tric speaker. He puts the 'punch of a pile driver' into his words, and drives home with thrilling illustrations the truths he upholds. He quickly 'gets' an audience and holds it straight through a talk of an hour." Arden Shore Sponsors Press on With Campaign Winnetka's campaign to provide her quota for the Arden Shore Rest Camp at Lake Bluff is progressing with en- thusiasm, according to anfhouncement made at a tea given this week at the home of Mrs. Arthur F. Tuttle, 699 Walden road, for the benefit of the camp fund. The women were addressed by Miss Anna Belle Ferrier, supervisor of the camp, who spoke feelingly of the work there among Chicago's unfortunate tenement inhabitants. The gathering served as an inspira- tion to carry on the fund campaign with unceasing vigor. Relief and Aid Society Issues Call for Gifts . Clothing, shoes and miscellaneous household articles and the need just now of the Winnetka Relief and Aid society's Thrift Shop, was indicated in a special appeal sounded this week by the workers in that laudable com- munity charity. Householders who wish to contri- bute to this need are requested to send bundles to 858 Elm street, or to telephone Winnetka 170 to have the contributions called for. with his great address on "A Father's
