a. ~ National Council October 31, 1925 WINNETKA TALK PLAYERS TO PRESENT "OLD LADY 31" SOON November 11 and 12 Scheduled as Dates for Initial Perform- ance of Current Season The Community Players of the Winnetka Community Drama club will open their season with two perform- ances of Rachel Crothers' "Old lady 31," November 11 and 12 in the Rudolph Matz hall at Community House. Rachel Crothers is one of America's most popular and successful play- wrights. She has written many well known plays, such as "Mary the Third," given so successfully by the North Shore Theatre guild, and "He and She," one of the outstanding sue- cesses of the Community Players' 1923 season. Rachel Crothers is directing "Charm," now playing in Chicago. "Old Lady 31" is a comedy in three acts and a prologue, and delightfully combines comedy, pathos, and stirring drama, it is explained. The story is that of an aged couple who are unable to keep their little house and so go to an old people's home. The play"leads them through many com plicated and amusing situations be- fore their problems are solved. Cast of 14 Players The cast consists of 14 characters, and 'as there are only four men in that number it is regarded as a good vehicle for the expression of girl's and women's dramatic ability. Th- cast, containing as it does, several names of players whose past per- formances have been able, would seem to promise a successful per- formance. This cast is under the com- petent direction of Mrs. Sherman M. Goble and is as follows: Angie, Mrs. Charles F. Karnoff; Abe, Milton Hig gins; Nancy, Mrs. G. M. Thurston; Mrs. Homans, Mrs. Fred H. Sterling; Sarah Jane, Mrs. J. H.

The World Court is the issue in which the Leagues of Women Voters all over the country are particularly interested this year, and every effort is being made to have the women of Winnetka as well informed on this subject as possible before the matter comes up for Congressional decision in De- cember. i Therefore, the Winnetka league, In addition to training a corps of speakers on the subject, will devote the No- vember 9 meeting also to this matter. At that time Alexander B. Geavem of Chicago will address the league. Circles which have already arranged for members of Mrs. Childs' committee are the Lincoln Avenue, the West Elm Street, the Oak Street, the Cherry Street, and the Ash Street circles, all of which will meet at different places Tuesday afternoon, November 10; the Walden Street circle, which meets Monday, November 23; the Euclid Avenue and Winnetka Heights circles, which meet at different homes Friday, November 13; and the Pine Street circle, which meets Wednesday, No- vember 25. Make Talks Concise Mrs. Childs is laying particular emphasis on the conciseness of the speeches this year. Every speaker on her committee is being trained to limit her talk on the World Court to exactly ten minutes, so that it may easily be put into the program of a club or circle without materially lengthening the meeting. As the World Court is the issue in which the league is most vitally interested this year, the speakers' bureau does not plan to un- dertake any other subject before spring --unless something of considerable im- portance should come up unexpect- edly. Mrs. Childs has on her list of speak- ers Mrs. William B. Hale, Mrs. Maurice H. Lieber, Mrs. John Vander Vries, and Mrs. Arthur Cushman. She expects to add several more names this week.
