ER I 4 I a UU o ~& April 16, 1927 WINNETKA TALK N. U. CIRCUS TO BRING | VARIETY OF "NOTABLES" "World's Most 'Amazing and Gigantic Spectacle," Modest "Come On" Slogan of Event Preparations for this year's North- western university circus in Evanston are now well on the way and the great event itself on April 30 will be one of the most attractive in years, according to Carl B. French, who is student manager and known as "Cir- cus Solly." While the exact nature of the stellar acts this year is a guard- ed secret, it is known that Delta Delta Delta, Omega Upsilon, and Chi Omega are the sororities which have won the privilege of center stage stunts, in the main show. The judges after long study decided that these three acts were the most acceptable. The stunts are called "Darktown Cir- cus," "Gypsy Rendezvous" and "Northwestern on High." Three other top-line specialties will be presented during the big show by the Scribblers, Sigma Chi, and Tau Delta Phi, fraternities. The names of these acts are: "The Ten Scribbler Brothers," "Northwestern's Greatest Side-Show," and "The Evolution of Music." Besides these notable six or- ganization stunts, the circus manage- ment will have several surprises for the audience in the way of professional presentation. There also will be numerous clown stunts by some of the university's greatest comic actors and cut-ups. Specialties in Number Accompanying the specialties will be novelty stunts in the flanking side- springs. Sororities giving novelties are: Sigma Alpha Jota--"The Bear- Backs"; Kappa Kappa Gamma--"The Campus Race"; Alpha Epsilon Phi-- "The Animal's Fair"; Alpha Xi Delta --"The Circus Coquette"; Aokiga-- "Pink Lemonade or Circus Moon- shine": and Delta Mu--"The Circus Acrobats." Fraternity novelty acts will be pre- sented by Sigma Alpha Epsilon--"The Wah Show"; Phi Mu Delta--"A Fra- ternity Tumbles"; Phi Nu Beta-- "Persecution of the Christians"; Delta Tau Delta--""Refreshing Incidents"; and Phi Delta Theta--"The Trained Phi Delts." The sixth {fraternity novelty will be given by one of the organizations from McKinlock cam- pus. Manager French is being assisted by Laura Lenfesty, who, as Sirkuss Sally, is obtaining as much co-operation from the sororities as possible. Robert Russell is business manager. The big parade preceding the circus will, this vear, be a real novelty, and much work is being done to make it one of the greatest in Northwestern's his- tory, both Mr. French and Miss Len- festy state. SERVICE OF BAPTISM Easter Sunday afternoon, at 3:30 o'clock at the Winnetka Congrega- tional church, there will be a special service for the presentation of children for consecration and Christian bap- tism. Parents who are interested in this service have been asked to confer with one of the ministers of the church. Miss Joan Stuart and Miss Ellen Stuart, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. John Stuart of 990 Sheridan road, are in Pinehurst, N. C. visiting their grandmother, Mrs. Robert Stuart. Mr. and Mrs. Stuart have returned to their home from a visit there. -- Mrs. F. R. Alexander, 1275 Scott avenue, entertained her luncheon and bridge club Friday of last week. First Three Act Venture of Play Shop Is Success By R. C.F "Co-op Love," a farce on life in co-operative apartments, was pro- duced very successfully by the Town and Gown Play Shop at Annie May Swift hall in Evanston this week and last. Heretofore the Play shop members have written and produced one act plays, but they are now stretching out into larger and more difficult fields by attempting the three act play. "Co-op Love," the first attempt in the line of three act plays, was enthu- siastically received by a very appre- ciative audience. Some of the impor- tant roles were well portrayed by Mrs. John Boddie, Mrs. John W. Behr, and Miner Coburn, of Wilmette. Some of the one act plays written by members of the Town and Gown | Play Shop have been very successful, notably "The Weathervane," by Alice C. D. Riley, which has been included in | the latest volume of one act plays published by Samuel French, and "Spirals" by Marion Lawrence Wilson, which is being published by the Drama League of America. The previous success of Play Shop members in putting on one act plays gives them a well defined background, and will, no doubt, be an assurance of their accomplishing more with a more elaborate production. Mrs. G. B. Massey of 705 Sheridan road left Wednesday to visit her mother, Mrs. Lorenzo Johnson, in California. They expect to return by motor next month. pn Mrs. Randolph Buck, 1290 Scott avenue, leaves next week for Swanee, Ienn., for a fortnight's stay.
