. VO Ye MeL igh ET November 28, 1925 WINNETKA, TALK SARG'S MARIONETTES TO SHOW IN WINNETKA School Children and Grown-ups Expected to Attend Perform- ances in Large Numbers A miniature Jolly Roger will be hoisted to the masthead of a minia- ture pirate ship at Skokie school, Wednesday, December 2, and young- sters from six to 60 will be invited to go adventuring with Jim Hawkins, Bill Bones, Long John Silver and his parrot, Jim, and all the roystering band of Robert Louis Stevenson's ro- mance, "Treasure Island." Tony Sarg's company of marionettes and puppeteers will present their ver- sion of this lively story on a Lil- liputian stage, but such is the illusion of the puppet show that characters and settings will appear to be life-sized, and the audience will get a thrill when, at the final curtain, the puppeteer-in- chief steps out upon the stage and fills it like a Brobdignagian. For this production Mr. Sarg has prepared elaborate scenic lighting ef- fects, including a miniature hurricane at sea, in which the pirate ship drifts rudderless, pitching, rolling from side to side amid lurid flashes of lighting. Music is Feature The lines will be spoken and the choruses sung by a company of ac- complished puppeteers who will ma- nipulate the triangle of strings behind the scenes. Mr. Sarg has paid partic- ular attention to the music of the piece, and has revived for the produc- tion many of the old songs and chanteys sung by the freebooters of the sea when the Spanish main was infested with pirates. i The action opens with scenes at the inn before the adventure gets under way. Another scene shows the bust- ling docks, with the pirate ship in the offing, and from there the merry crew, hoisting the Jolly Roger, will sail to the mysterious island in quest of treasure. : Plenty of action is promised; a fight on board ship during the storm--a hand-to-hand conflict in which the buccaneers use marlin-spikes, blud- geons, daggers and pistols. Another pirate fight after the island is reached. A lively cat-and-dog fight on deck. Result of Long Research "Treasure Island"--the finished product as done by the marionettes, represents several years of research, study and hard work. Tony Sarg, the famous caricaturist, its producer, is convinced that it is better even than his earliest puppet version of "Don Quixote" and "Rip Van Winkle." It would never do, of course, to leave out birds and animals in any marion- ette production. Rip Van Winkle's dog and Don Quixote's Rosinante will find companions in "Treasure Island" in Long John's famous parrot and in the cat and dog who disagree so fun- damentally during the cruise. The hornpipe dance is said to be so complicated that this single feature requires four puppeteers; one to play the piano, and three to manipulate the 26 strings necessary to execute the gestures grimaces, contortions and steps. Thrills Forthcoming Unexpected thrills--not on the pro- gram--are liable to occur at any moment, and the audience is requested to be patient if anything goes wrong and the puppets undergo an attack of artistic temperament, Winnetka children and grown-ups, as well, are expected to attend the nerformance in considerable numbers. There is to 'be a performance at 4 o'clock and another at 8:15 o'clock. SCHOOL FOR PARENTS Junior and Senior Students at High School to Have Fathers and Mothers at Sessions Next Thursday The program of the next "open house" at New Trier High school has been changed to include the junior and senior classes only, with their parents, it was announced at the school offices this week. It had been intended to have a pro- gram without any students present, but with the parents of all the students in attendance going to the classes, study halls, etc., in place of the chil- dren. However, there have been many favorable comments on the first meet- ing this year when parents attended with the sophomores and freshmen that it was decided to plan the same kind of a meeting for the students and parents of the junior and senior classes. The program will take place Thurs day, December 3, beginning at 3:15 o'clock and ending at 9:15 in the eve- ning. Parents of juniors and seniors are urged to go to the school at that time and spend the entire school day from 3:15 to 9:15, going to classes and study halls with their children. The cafeteria will be organized to provide a good supper for parents and students. The selection of food will be the same as is had at lunch time for the students, but the amount will be increased to extra demand. There will be no school Thursday for freshmen and sopho- mores. In addition to the regular program of classes there will be a special sched- ule so that parents may visit the di- rectors of special activities like dram- | atic clubs, musical organizations, ath- letic organizations, etc. This special schedule will be printed and on file at the information desk.

Receive Many Pledges Preceding the canvass a new custom has been inaugurated of having inter- ested members send in tentative pledg expressing their intention of subscribing a certain amount, with the understand- ing that the exigencies of the campaign may later require a general readjustment either up or down. To date $21,200, or over one-half of the total amount neces- sary from pledges, $42,000, for the bud- get of $47,600 has been subscribed in ad- vance by these tentative pledges from less than one-third of the membership. The statistics of the parish show that out of 500 families only 245 made pledges in 1925 leaving 295 families who, in 1925, pledged nothing for the sup- port of the church. The objectives of the 1926 campaign are as follows: 1. A Fair pledge from every family. 2. A Junior pledge from every grown-up son or daughter of a member of Christ church. 3. A pledge from every non-mem- ber whose child (or children) attends the Church school. : 4. A helpful suggestion for the bet- terment of Christ church and its work {rom every member of the parish. The new features of the Christ church campaign which is just starting have already attracted some attention from other communities, and requests have been received for information as to how the Winnetka plan is working out. Mrs. John Crittenden, 454 Linden avenue, will entertain the current topic" class Friday, December 4, at her home at 2 o'clock.
