IX, NO. 7 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, MARCH 3, 1928 PRICE FIVE CENTS THEATER GUILD OFFERS IBSEN DRAMA NEXT WEEK "Little Eyolf"' to be Presented Along Shore; Bailey, Mrs. Sidley Have Leads By Critic In sharp contrast to its last suc- cess, "Number Seventeen," the North Shore Theater Guild is opening with Ibsen's "Little Eyolf," this coming week. ; The trappings and thrills of melo- drama give way to the subtleties and gripping human interest of Ibsen at his best. "Little Eyolf" is the sort of play which sends the audience home after the final curtain with a seed of thought that will sprout forth many times in succeeding days and provide food for much interesting discussion. It is the sort of play one remembers all his life, and which personal ex- periences of succeeding years call back with poignant interest. } Unexcelled Cast It is fitting that in this one hundreth year after Ibsen's birth, his play should thus be presented to north shore au- diences with a cast which it is conser- vative to say has perhaps never been excelled in non-professional circles. The honors are shared by Guy Stuart Bailey and Mrs. William D. Sidley, both well known to north shore audi- ences. Mr. Bailey is making his first appearance with the guild after several years' absence. He will be remembered by old guild members as one of the founders of the organization, director and prime moving spirit in its first efforts seven years ago, and a man who has in his time played many parts, and played them exceedingly well. He played the lead in the guild's first pro- duction of Edna Ferber's "Twelve Hundred A Year"; as Henry Higgins, the phonetics expert in Shaw's inimit- able "Pygmalion," he will be remem- bered especially favorably; and again in "Outward Bound" and "Enchanted Cottage." Mrs. William D. Sidley plays oppo- site. Mr. Bailey. She is an accom- plished technician, of wide experience. Her work in the American Legion play, "Lilac Time," brought her perhaps most pleasantly to the attention of north shore audiences. Her first lead with the guild is in the present play. Thresholder Has Role Another newcomer with the guild in this play is Mrs. Harry I. Miller of Glencoe. She is one of the leading spirits in the Threshold Players and was greatly appreciated in their re- cent production of "Smilin' Through." The guild audiences will be charmed with her work in "Little Eyolf." "Little Eyolf" opens at the School auditorium at Glencoe, March 6, then plays at Durand hall, Lake Forest, March 7; Highland Park Woman's club, March 8; Jane Kuppenheimer hall, Skokie school, Winnetka, March 9 and 10; Shawnee Country club, Wil- mette, March 13; and the Woman's club, Evanston, March 14 and 15. Guild members will be glad to see Miss Helen Sanford, of Evanston with an important character role. Miss San- ford will be recalled for her outstand- ing work with the guild in "Outward Bound," "Autumn Fire," and "En- chanted April." Recitalist Giovanni Martinelli, world re- nowned tenor of the Metropolitan and Ravinia Opera companies, will appear in recital Wednesday evening, March 7, at the New Trier High school audi- | torium in the final of the Winnetka Music club's current series of Artist- Recitals. In the advance notices of this season's series, the sponsors of the Music club's program paid Martinelli this great tribute in a caption appear- ing under his photograph: "We ven- ture to present this popular idol of the Metropolitan and Ravinia Opera com- panies without further comment." A stitch in time is worth two in the bush See Page 17 EXTEND BREAKWATER State and Federal Authorities Approve Plans; Work to Start Soon; Project Will Cost About $25,000 Work is to start soon, it was an- nounced this week, on the extension of the breakwater at the foot of the Winnetka Water Works, where, dur- ing the summer, it is expected to put in steel piling to a distance of 425 feet from the existing breakwater. The width of the new breakwater extension, at the outer end, will be 150 feet. The estimated cost is $25,000. Approval of the plans by both the state and Government have just been received and work, it is said, will be- gin at an early date. This is the first unit in the exten- sive plan of the Winnetka Plan com- mission, for the development of the Lake front beach, from Maple avenue north, and ultimately looking to the building of a harbor which, it is said will be in the far distant future. The piling for the breakwater exten- sion will be finished this summer, but the filling of the area within, will re- quire several years. It will be filled with cinders and rubbish from the vil- lage. Community Players Drama to Aid Our | Community House An extra evening for the play, "Love in a Mist," is to be given as a benefit for Community House. Monday eve- ning, March 12, will be "Benefit Night," and all villagers and organiza- tions appreciating the use they have had of the House and its service are expected to buy tickets. All proceeds go to Community House that night. Regular season ticket holders will see the play on their usual nights, Wed- nesday and Thursday, March 14 and 15. "Love in a Mist," by Amélie Rives and Gilbert Emory, is characterized as a delightful comedy, and with the cast taking part, is certain to maintain the high standards of the work of the Community Players. Mrs. John Marshall, Miss Dorothy Olten, Dr. Davies Lazear, Moncure Paynter and Taliaferro Milton, under the able direction of Mrs. Louis Sher- man, will provide this evening of fun and philosophy for all who attend. Remember the benefit date, Mon- day, March 12. New Trier Organizations to Give "Player's Play" New Trier has already given several good plays this year, but the big dramatic event of the year is yet to come. It is to be the "Player's Play," to be given some time in April. Most of the details are being kept secret, but this much is known, that it will require the combination of all the arts to present it. Try-outs were held this week for sixteen members of the Girls' Glee club who could both sing and dance, and the cast, which is to be a very |large one, will be picked later. HOLD VILLAGE CAUCUS HERE MONDAY EVENING All Residents Urged to Attend Meeting for Purpose of Nominating Candidates Monday evening, March 5, at 8 o'clock, the annual village caucus will be held in Matz hall, Community House. This caucus is one of the most interesting meetings held each year in Winnetka because it represents the gathering together of citizens inter- ested in the welfare of Winnetka, to nominate for village offices, candidates who are pledged to the platform of policies adopted. The nominating committee of the Village Caucus has been at work for nearly two months studying the prob- lems of the village and the qualifica- tions of candidates, and it will make its recommendations for office at the caucus and present the platform for discussion and adoption. At the meeting, the Village president, Henry F. Tenney, will make a report of some of the Village activities during the past year, and comment upon the problems which the administration will face in the future. His remarks should be of greatest interest to all citizens of Winnetka who are interested in the future of the Village.

The caucus is a long established institution, be- lieved by many to be largely respon- sible for the able administration which (Continued on page 96)
