Cleaning Repairing Pressing SCHULTZ & NORD The North Shore's Leading Tailors 1152 Central Ave. Phones 320-321 WILMETTE North Shore Has Finest Chrysler Sales Quarters Sounding a new note in the mer- chandising of automobiles on the north shore, the Evanston Motor Sales cor- pcration opened to the public its new Chrysicr Hales room and service head- quarcers ou Ridge avenue, Evanston last Saturday. Architecturally the building is regarded as one of the finest of its kind in the entire Chi- cago district. The owners and the architects set out with the purpose of creating a structure in keeping with the standards of the north shore. The Spanish Renaissance note pre- dominates in the design and decoration of the front of the building, which has already attracted considerable atten- tion from passing motorists. One of the unusual features is an indirect lighting system used in illuminating the building. The same note is carried out in the fixtures and decorations throughout the sales room. Can Display Entire Line This part of the building, which is said to be one of the most beautifully appointed on the north shore, is large enough to display to advantage the en- tire line of Chrysler models. In the rear of the sales room and extending back to the alley is a large service department. This has space and equipment for handling 40 cars at one time. From front to rear wall, the building is a little more than 300 feet, or a city block in length. The building is considered a distinct contribution to the newly formed automobile row on Ridge avenue which specializes in exclusive cars. Gives Ground to City In placing the building, the Evanston Motor Sales corporation set it far enough back from the front lot line to enable it to contribute a considerable triangle of ground to the city. This triangle has been made a part of Ridge avenue. Adjacent property owners have been influenced to make similar grants to the city, so that eventually the dangerous angle in the junction of Ridge avenue with West Railroad at the Emerson street subway will be eliminated. Under the present management of W. D. Reagan the Evanston Motor Sales corporation began business on Davis street a short time ago. . The Chrysler sales increased so rapidly that the business soon outgrew its Davis street quarters and the new building was the result. Place Poet's Remains in Kenilworth Vault March 7 Elaborate and impressive services will mark the re-interment of the body of Eugene Field, the children's poet, in the cloister in the Church of the Holy Comforter, of Kenilworth, Sun- day morning, March 7, at 11 o'clock. The services will be conducted by the Rev. Leland Hobart Danforth and will be open to the public. There will be a solemn requiem celebration of the Holy Eucharist in the church, after which the body will be carried out and placed in the vault which awaits it. Relatives and friends of Field will be present. Field's body has rested for years in Graceland cemetery. Not long ago the idea of placing it in a memorial vault in the Kenilworth church was con- ceived, and permission to do this was granted by relatives. A large attendance at the services is expected. Mrs. C. F. N. Miller of 936 Elm street, who has been spending the winter in California, is expected home about April 1. --0-- Mr. and Mrs. Eugene A. Howard of 1015 Pine street, who have been abroad for sometime, are expected home about March 15. LAUD JEROME'S PLAY "Passing of the Third Floor Back" Pleases New Trier High School Audience By OBSERVER The performance of Jerome K. Jerome's play, "The Passing of the Third Floor Back," by the Players of the New Trier Dramatic club of New Trier high school last Saturday night, was decidedly unusual. That was per- haps the strongest impression it gave. First, the play itself is unusual. It possesses, to be sure, a good deal of force, dramatic power, humor, and in- terest--but its pleasureable and en- joyable effect on the audience was due to its unusual qualities of originality, both in conception of plot and por- trayal of character, more directly than to beauty of theme as such. For the theme itself, namely, the power of good which a man of fine character and magnetic personality is able to exert over those around him, is not by any means a new idea, and would hardly create a very marked or force- ful impression if presented on the stage in any conventional or trite manner. Thus it is more than any- thing else originality of dramatic treatment which accounts for its suc- cess and value as a play. Play Well Acted Second, the Players themselves per- formed unusually well, particularly for amateurs. The exigencies of the act- ing were entirely worthy of the dramatic experience and ability which are supposed to have been acquired by them, and which the histrionic merits of this occasion would tend to verify. The subtle, gradual, almost indefinable change which must take place in all the characters as the in- fluence of the stranger, the new boarder whom they call "The Third Floor Back," grows upon them, until they have become entirely different, have completely turned from bad to good. This is especially hard to show convincingly, aside from the ordinary and natural difficulties involved in character portrayal itself. This was a particularly fine bit of acting on the part of the entire cast. Preserve Dramatic Unity Another point in favor of the acting was the way in which all the char- acters worked to preserve the dramatic and artistic unity of the play, and showed by the way they blended the action together for the purpose of producing a single impression that they appreciated the importance of each part in relation to the play as a whole, and therefore put no exag- geration or over-emphasis into their respective interpretations. To compli- ment one actor would necessitate the mention of all the rest. Third, the stage setting and light- ing effects were unusually good, and added much to the realism and en- joyment of the play. Music of a light and pleasant character was furnished between the acts by the New Trier Symphony or- chestra, which played Schubert's "Marche Militarie," a "Norwegian Dance" by Grieg, and ballet music from "Rosamunde," also by Schubert. The attendance was fairly good, but not nearly so large as the quality of the performance deserved.
