It is "Master Will of Stratford" or "A Midwinter Night's Dream," by Mgs. Eugene H. Garnett, a resident of Evanston. Mrs. Garnett has written only this one play, but she is well known all along the north shore as a poet and musician. She wrote the music for "Master Will of Strat- ford," which the New Trier orches- tra will play at the performance. The play has three acts, a prologue and an epilogue. The action takes place when William Shakespeare was a little boy in Stratford-on-Avon, on New Year's Eve. In the prologue Will receives permission from his mother to celebrate the occasion by staying up as late as he wants to to read his book about fairies, about Titania, Oberon, Puck, and the, other fairy characters which appear in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." The three acts are the dream he dreamed after falling asleep over his book. The dream contains, among others, the fairy chargcters of "A Midsuin- mer Night's Dream." Events, althouga they are mixed up enough to have been a real dream, are such that they could have suggested part of the plot of Shakespeare's play. In the epilogue Master Will, waking up the next morning, finds a quill pen on his mother's hearth, where Titania told him he would find his fate. The important members of the cast are: Master Will Shakespeare, Bill Gobson; Mistress Shakespeare, Betty Funke; Betty, Dorothy Darby; the Peddler, George Cogswell; Titania, Maurine Jones; Oberon, Dorland Davis; Robin Goodfellow, Wilbur Ma- gill; the witch, Jean Thackery; Queen Elizabth, Mary Louise Cotton; and Sir Thomas Lucy, Carl Hall. To Give Luncheon-Bridge for St. Francis Hospital A benefit luncheon and bridge is to be given for the St. Francis hospital on Easter Monday, April 18, at the Georgian hotel. The presidents of all the Catholic clubs on the north shore will act as patronesses, and have ex- tended invitations to the members of their respective clubs in order to help make the affair a success. The members of the Tranquilla club, an organization for the benefit of St. Francis hospital, have pledged them- selves to take a table apiece. The hour for the luncheon is 1 o'clock, and the bridge will begin at 2 oclock. HOSPITAL GETS $2,000 The Evanston hospital this week re- ceived a bequest of $2,000 from the estate of the late J. J. Charles, of Ev- anston. The money will be added to the permanent endowment fund. TOUPEES and WIGS Natural as the Halr that was once your OWA. Ph. Central 0604 FUNK & CO. 86 So.
