Zimmerman, of Wilmette, is a member of the Kemper Military school mermen, who recently defeated the Kansas City, Kansas, High school and Junior College tank men by a score of 29 to 11. The 160 yard relay, in which Zim- merman participated and which was won by Kemper, was, according to the report by Kemper paper, the most ex- citing and best race of the meet, for it decided the result of the match. After the first forty, Zimmerman took the water with a handicap of two yards, but turned a lead of three over to his team mate, Wallschlaeger, who held his own and Ferguson finished the meet with a five yard lead. In the 100 yard breast stroke, which was won by Kansas City in 1:22, Zimmerman finished second. North Shore Scout Area to Have Troop for Men Many North Shore fathers have ex- pressed an interest in learning more about the plan and procedure of Boy Scout work. Many scout leaders have wished that they might have had the privilege of membership in a Scout troop. To meet these needs the North Shore Council has announced a "Troop for Adults," to begin Thursday night, March 17, at the Area office, 16 North Sheridan road, Highland Park.

PRAISES VARSITY THEATER Two pages of pictures, for the most part those used in THE Evanston Rg- VIEW are given by the current number of the "Exhibitors' Herald" to the new Varsity theater. In an article about the Varsity the Herald says, "The new Varsity theater, recently opened in Evanston, is the first theater perhaps in America, certainly in the Middle West, to be designed in the beautiful style of the French chateau. Architect J. E. O. Pridmore was requested by the University theater company to design a playhouse on unique lines and to be essentially different from any previously constructed theater. The result is considered to have justified the highest anticipations of the owners and the cultured city of Evanston." The publication described the auditor- ium as "one of the largest, most com- modious and beautiful in the entire North Shore," and declares that the visitor there experiences his "greatest thrill." L. M. Stoddard of 582 Provident avenue has left the village on a month's trip to Denver, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. I | a aE EET EE EE | !
