January 7, 1928 WINNETKA TALK "Torch Bearers" Inaugurates New Art Theatre Y ear Friday of this week the Chicago Art theatre opened its winter season with "Torch Bearers," a satirical com- edy, by George Kelly, playing every evening and Wednesday matinees, for a limited engagement. Ivan Lazareff, the director, was for twenty years a member of the Moscow Art theatre. He played with that com- pany when it made its first tour of America. He has since appeared in such parts as the mad emperor and the cripple in "The Miracle," in Chi- cago and other cities. Critics, such as Burns Mantle of the N. Y. Daily News, have declared his acting "per- fect." Mr. Lazareff's purpose in re- maining in America was to establish a theatre like the Moscow Art thea- tre. This he has done in the Chicago Art theatre. He has successfully ap- plied to Americans the method of the Moscow Art theatre. This he has done in the Chicago Art theatre. John Marsh, who plays the tole of Frederick Ritter in the "Torch Bear- ers," is well known to patrons of the Chicago Art theatre for his splendid work in the company's past produc- tions; Cameron Garbutt, hailed as one of his "finds" by Mr. Lazareff, made his theatrical debut in Chicago in the role of Huxley Hossefross. Spindler was portrayed by Charles McRey- nolds; Max Rotter appears as Teddy Spearling; Arthur Kline, stage man- ager; Herman Johnson as Ralph Twiller; Emily Hamill and Agnes George share the leading role of Mrs. J. Duro Pampinelli. Elza Moses and Shirley Linder will appear on alter- nate nights as Mrs. Nelly Fell; Char- line Marmein plays Florence Mec- Crickett; Miss Linder will share the role of Mrs. Clara Sheppard with Gertrude Kauffman; Maxine Nelson is Jenny; and Ruth Cranmer will be Mrs. Paula Ritter. Motor Club Head Warns All Against Traffic Dangers "Street users, both motorists and pedestrians, have it within their prov- ince to reduce winter traffic mishaps to a minimum if they will but recognize certain fundamental difficulties in con- nection with driving and walkihg dur- ing this season which is the most pro- lific in serious accidents," says Charles M. Hayes of Winnetka, president of the Chicago Motor club. This point is made in a bulletin issued by the national headquarters of the American Automobile association in which are enumerated the consider- ations everyone should ponder in the interest of safety. "The most significant feature of win- ter driving that should appeal to everyone is that footing for both motor cars and pedestrians is most treacher- ous and insecure during the current season," Mr. Hayes says. "Certain steps can be taken to offset this con- dition but their effectiveness is limited, and, unless the driver and walker both realize this, it is possible to turn their basic safety into a definite hazard," it is pointed out. "Both pedestrians and motorists have concessions to make to the fact that snowy, icy streets are treacherous," says the statement. "The motorists' responsibility demands, first, the addi- tion of such safety equipment as chains, and secondly, the realization that there is such a thing as outdriving any safety feature. That many motorists do sac- rifice the advantages given by four- wheel brakes, balloon tires, chains, and other such safety features is revealed in accident analysis made by the 950 clubs that make up the membership of the A. A.A. Miles Friedman, Jr., of 854 Prospect avenue left last Monday night to re- turn to Clark school. Plays "Favorites" William Harrison Barnes, organist of the Wilmette Baptist church, who directs the Vesper recitals held month- ly at that church during the winter sea- son, has occasioned widespread inter- est in the program to be given Sun- day, January 15, which, he proposes, shall be made up entirely of request numbers. 'He has invited patrons of the Vesper concerts to submit their favorite organ numbers. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Cassel of 825 Foxdale avenue have had as their holiday guest, Mrs. Cassel's mother. 3 hb ddddd Three-quarter Rp HboHbbHHBHREBEBMBERBRBARI IR Boys' and Girls' Wool Hose exceptional groups of values length, tops and popular patterns.
