jo : | | N s : r/ | : April 30, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 51 PLAY WELL HANDLED "Icebound," Play Written by Owen Davis, Delights Audience as Pre- sented by New Trier Dramatic Club The performance of Owen Davis' prize play, "Icebound," given Satur- day night at New Trier by the Play- ers of the Dramatic Club, was unusual- ly well done. Those of the audience familiar with the necessary qualifica- tions of membership in the Players came expecting a better than average performance, and left with their ex- pectations fulfilled. The story of "Icebound" is that of a narrow minded, gossiping community and a woman of an heroic spirit whom its meanness and sordidness could not spoil. A fine interpretation of this character was given by Virginia Brad- ford. She played the part with all the quiet intensity and subtle pathos that it required. One, of the most striking bits of act- ing was done by Stephen Harwood, who took the part of Ben, the black sheep of the Jordan family. His every gesture contributed to his character- ization, and the curtain of the last act found more than one pair of eyes in the audience a bit misty. Ralph Arnold, as usual, acquitted himself well as Judge Bradford, the family lawyer of the Jordans. Ralph is new at New Trier this year, but he has already taken part in three Dramatic Club productions. His deep voice and dignified presence are well suited to parts requiring a more ma- ture manner. The parts of the rest of the Jordan family, their characters as pinched and narrow as their lives were dull and uneventful, were uniformly well acted. John Iliff brought out the petty selfish nature of Henry Jordan in a very convincing manner, 'while his stepdaughter with all her cheap co- quetry was given a realistic interpre- tation by Margaret Whitsett. A bit of comedy was introduced by George Hunsche, a freshman, as Orin Fellows, the young son of one of the Jordan family. The part of his mother was well acted by Jane Burrill CONGREGATIONAL SERVICE "Living Epistles" will 'be the topic of the morning sermon at Winnetka Congregational church, Sunday, at 11 o'clock, by Rev.
