"Lady Crandall--I'm loyal to the Provinces. Do you know, I carry two watches on this trip? This one--that's the time of the place 1 happen to be in. And this one--that's the time in Kewanee." Henry J. Sherman is anything if not faithful to the land of the free and the home of the brave--more particularly Kewanee, Ill, his home town. He and his wife and daughter would be home if it were not for the chaotic conditions brought upon Europe by the sudden outbreak of the Great War. But war times are war times, and in the play, "Inside the Lines," by Earl Derr Big- gers, the Sherman family's predicament is to be stranded on the Rock of Gib- raltar penniless and with a letter of credit that is useless. William Kimball, formerly a citizen of Kewanee, but who has acquired considerably more of a polish through his visit in Paris, is with them. Fortunately for these, the charming wife of the government gen- eral, Lady Crandall, does much to make their stay on the Rock enjoyable, and is instrumental in obtaining their passports home. Gilchrist as "Sherman" Frank Gilchrist is playing the part of Henry J. Sherman, Jean Thackety that of Lady Crandall, and Robert Brown is 'Willie' Kimball in this pro- duction to be given Saturday night, November 19, in the New Trier audi- torium. While they are occupied with their troubles, Miss Jane Gerson of New York is having hers. As head buyer of Hildebrands' Department store, she is anxious to return to America with her trunks of new Paris models. Passports and regulations are the banes of her existence. Jean Marx has the role of Miss Gerson. Secret Service Plot The man known to his English and American friends simply as Captain Woodhouse, to others as agent number 1932 of the Wilhelmstrasse, is a mem- ber of this interesting group about whom little is known. Twice he has been identified as having been seen several weeks bfore in Berlin--by Mrs. Sherman and by Miss Gerson. To be recognized as having been in Germany would be ruinous to the. faith General Crandall has in him. And yet to have one recognition strengthened by anoth- er! To complicate matters still further, he is in love with Jane Gerson and cannot expect her entire trust in him in view of these circumstances, and while he is under such a terrific strain. John Iliff is cast as Captain Wood- house, and how successfully he plays a part within a part will be shown Saturday night when the play is given. Tickets are available at the school, and will also be sold at the box-office that evening. All seats are reserved. Unitarian Church Chicago avenue, at Greenwood Blvd.,, Evanston.
