LEGION SHOW NEWS SUPPLEMENT OF WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK THEY'RE SELLING TICKETS NOW FOR THE "CGAY ADVENTURESS" WHO'S WHO IN THE BIG SHOW (Continued from preceding page) We are also pleased to announce that Mr. J. Williams Macy will portray the character of Frank Watson. Mr. Macy has shown his remarkable stage ability many times in our suburbs, particularly in connection with the North Shore Theatre Guild. His latest success was in "Mary, The Third," which is considered the most fin- ished production ever made by the Guild. Mr. Macy appears in two of the song numbers: --"The Vows We Make" and "Come Take Me In Your Arms." Quartet Will Charm You will be pleased with the quar- tet who sing and dance in the song "You'll Suit Me Then." Mrs. John K. Coolidge as Nora Fitzpatrick, Mrs. William C. Boyden, Jr. as Corinne Kelly, Mr. Howard H. Hoyt as Moritz Plinkus, and Mr. Gerald W. Hoyt as Levy Plunkus will star this number. Mrs. Edwin W. Ellis, whom you know as one of the most finished dancers on the North Shore, has been very influential in selecting the chorus. She will give you a remarkable rendi- tion of the Tango, straight from New York, as a specialty number--with Mr. Henry Lane as 'her partner. Our "Gay Adventuress" -- whose tage name is Frances LaBoy, is Mrs. Guy Stuart Bailey. She has an ex- tremely difficult role, and also takes part in two of the songs. We know you will enjoy seeing her as the "race track vamp." Mrs. H. Norman Copthorne makes Sallie Watson the attractive young girl who has much to do in the plot. She sings one song alone--'My Eyes And Lips Are True To You."--then with Mr. Francombe puts over "Rag- gety Ann" very weil, and is also one of the three who sing "You Made Me What I Am Today." A detective has his place in the show; Mr. Grinnell Wylie is the best little sleuth you ever did see. Mr. H. Norman Copthorne, as a waiter, Mrs. Edwin R. Keeler, as Piker, Mr. Charles J. Eastman as Col. David Allison, and our own Tom Lynch, Legion Commander, as Jockey Jimmie Wheeler, all do their parts with the precision necessary to thread the plot together very effectively. Back of the Scenes Before we close these comments, we must add that Mrs. Clifford W. Ewart is playing a part back of the scenes which will materially aid in making a success of the show. She has faith- fully come to all rehearsals, and has played over and over again the music for practices. Her efforts will be re- warded by the excellent finished pro- ductions. One of the important de- partments, that of costumes, is being ably handled by Mrs. Delbert Poff, and the performances will show her hard work. An orchestra of eighteen pieces will come from Chicago, accompanied by a director, Mr. William C. Moebius, member of the Chicago Civic Grand Opera Company. He is well-known in the theatrical world for his talent in putting over big all the shows he has ever directed. You will thoroughly enjoy this Broadway musical comedy--the big- gest ever attempted on the north shore, or even around Chicago. "J. M." is on the Job For the Disabled Men The week of April 7, J. M. Dickinson, Jr., one of our own Post men, was in Washington, representing the Rehabilita- tion Committee of the Eighth district. "J. M." in Action He was accompanied by the salaried secretary of the committee. And dur- ing their absence from Chicago, the Winnetka Post paid the expenses of an \assistant secretary so that the work of the committee with disabled soldiers should continue uninterrupted. Inciden- tally, Mr. Dickinson was instrumental in the passage of legislation which works to the best interests of the war heroes. LEGION POSTS DO REAL WORK (Continued from preceding page) when a shell burst near the Gun. When the smoke had cleared away, it was found that Powers, Johnson, and Teese had been hit. Powers is now at Great Lakes --he has cancer of the brain. He is slowly awaiting the end which may come any day. Johnson is in another ward, with heart trouble; and Teese has some ailment which no one seems to be able to define. Post Helped Him On another cot is a husky lad with trench feet, whose claim Winnetka Post | padded walls; there you will find the shell shocked boys. One of these thinks he is in the Guard House and will be released tomorrow. Another pins paper tails on a donkey he has drawn on the put through, and who is now happy that he will be cared for the rest of his life. Down the corridor a few feet is the en- trance to a room with barred door and walls. The others are doing various other things but in reality they are all wait- ing for the end,--for they are those of us who can never be the same men as in the days of '17 and '18. Hardly a day passes but that some call is made on the Legion by some "buddy;" one wants a job, another wishes to be- come a citizen. We answer all calls, no matter from where or whom they are received. In the present Government cri- sis we are teaching loyalty, and are off- setting the "Red" who sees a good chance to sow his seeds of dissension. d Last of all there is no selfishness in our purposes. They are up and above board. We stand first for our disabled comrades. We make American citizens. We stand for everything that is good in our home town. Should a great calamity befall Winnetka tomorrow, you would find the trained soldiers of the Legion far better able to perform the duties at- tendant than any other organization in the Village. The Winnetka Post has no revenue other than the small dues of its members. It relies on occasional en- tertainments to secure sufficient money to carry out its constructive program. We call but seldom, and sincerely hope that you will all lend us your aid in the present duties we are doing our best to perform. If at some later date you need us, you may be assured you will find us ready to the last man to serve in peace as we served in war. Songsters Cooperate to Help Us Out With Show Sherman Orwig, of Winnetka plays an interesting part in our production. To sing both Friday and Saturday nights will be quite a strain for Mr. Harold Rigler. With the consent of Mr. Eric Delamater, director of the choir at the Fourth Presbyterian church, of Chicago, Mr. Orwig is taking Mr. Rigler's place on Sunday, May 11. We think that is pretty fine of all three men to lock to our interests.
