YACHT CLUB BOYS Also Comedy Events and News New Evanston Will Reopen With Stock Company Labor Day The Evanston Stock company will open its second season at the New Evanston theater Monday evening with a showing of "Little Spitfire." A new cast of carefully selected ac- tors and actresses, picked by Clyde J. Elliot, manager, from productions in all parts of the country will fill the bills at the New Evanston in the new season. Miss Marjery Williams, who ap- peared here last year, has been en- gaged again to play the leading roles. Opposite her will be a star new to Evanstonians, Ernest Woodward. Mr. Woodward has been playing in Phila- delphia. "Little Spitfire," the first offering of the season, is the comedy drama which appeared at the Cort last year. The second week's bill will be "The Mean- est Man in the World," and following productions will be "Seventh Heaven," "Easy Mark," "The Show Off," "In Love with Love," "Lightning," and "Thank You." The cast is practicing now for the opening attraction. Besides the lead- ing lady and man, others to appear are Gene Clarendon, seen in Evanston before; Miss Francesco Hill, who has been playing in New York productions; Miss Rita Zane, who will play juvenile roles; Frank Kelly, star of "Young Love," a road attraction; Miss Mar- jorie Sutherland, who has just left Frank Keenan's company and Miss Lou Welch, who will be cast in char- acter parts. Carl Wey, associated before with Mr. Elliot, will direct the productions. "Chick" Harvey will be theater man- ager, and all the productions will be under the personal supervision of Mr. Elliot. The New Evanston has been com- pletely renovated for the season. A large stage crew is being maintained for stage setting, which, Mr. Elliot states, will be superior to that of last year. Seats are now on sale and sea- son reservations are being taken. Varsity Open Despite Trouble in Movie Ranks Despite trouble between the Chicago Exhibitors' association and the Motion Picture Operators' Union, which caused all Chicago movies to close, the Varsity continued in operation. However, the Campus theater closed as did the Village theater in Wilmette. The Varsity has sufficient films on hand to operate through Thursday, ac- cording to the management.
