February 11, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 37 Shore Theaters COMMUNITY News HOUSE ) a --()-- 0% Bold Bad Man and Couple of Villains on This Week's Bill Lew Welsh as an invalid, Henery Smith, did one of the best jobs of character acting of his career with the Evanston Players when that excellent stock company presented "The Bad Man" Monday, this week's bill at the New Evanston. Karl Way, the company's director, was right up at the top with his in- terpretation of the Mexican bandit, Pancho Lopez, the bad man of titular mention. Richard Ward as Morgan Pell and George Pembroke as Jasper Hardy, villains both, played their parts well, Usually the outstanding figure of the weekly production, Charles George, the company's leading man, was off his wsual form Monday and did the character of the defrauded ranch owner, Gilbert Jones, with far too much staginess and declamation. The leading woman, Margaret Fuller, was more than passable as Lucia Pell, wife to Morgan. As a character actress, Ann Dere seems to be better and better each week. In the role of the sloppy Mex- ican cook, Alverada, Miss Dere again shows up with distinction in the cur- rent production. It's a good show with a busy-body uncle; a bold bad bandit, who recog- nizes Gilbert Jones as a friend just as he is about to kill about the whole cast; a little shooting; a little love making; a good deal of comedy and some rather tense dramatic moments. CV. RK. Children Pack Haven Theater for Morning and Afternoon Shows Children of all ages from all the towns along the North Shore and from Rogers Park packed the auditorium of the Haven school, Evanston, Saturday with the largest audience that has yet patronized performances at the Evans- ton Children's theater. The morning performance was large- ly attended, but the afternoon perform- ance was the record-breaking attrac- tion, and there were many more adults than usual in the audience. The plays were chosen especially for the younger children this time. There were more children in the casts than usual. Youngsters from the dramatic classes in the Haven and Miller schools played in the pantomine, "Dick Whittington," and the main parts in "The Three Spinners" were taken by members of the Thalian club of the School of Speech. Children and adults were fascinated in watching the fate of Dick Whitting- ton, the poor boy whose cat won for him a fortune when Captain Brown traded her to the king of the island which was infested with rats. Valmore Umbach as Dick, Mollie Meaker as the cat, and Virginia France as the cook found especial favor with the audience. This was directed by Miss Evelyn Brown, one of the dramatic instruc- tors in the public schools, and piano accompaniment was provided by Miss Alice Piper of the School of Music. The longer part of the program was provided in the three-act play, "The Three Spinners," directed by Miss Winifred Ward, the theater director. Settings for this were regarded quite the loveliest which have yet been seen in the Children's theater. They were designed by Dean Farnsworth. : W. A. Dyche Talks on Early N. U. Finances How Northwestern's first president put the infant institution on its finan- cial feet by selling perpetual scholar- ships at $100 apiece was told by Wil- liam A. Dyche, business manager of the university, before a joint meeting of Gamma Kappa Delta society and the Gibson club Sunday evening. "Dr. Hinman raised $52,000 this way and some of the scholarships are still in use," said Mr. Dyche. "Fortunately, they put in the clause that the scholar- ship must descend to a man's heirs by being incorporated in his will and thus a majority of these scholarships have died a natural death."
