Timely Hints from Jack and Jill Theatre in Shakespeare Fund Benefit A special performance of "The Tam- ing of the Shrew" for the benefit of the American Shakespeare Foundation fund will be given by the junior com- pany of the Jack and Jill theater, 943 Rush street, Chicago, in the Gold room at the Drake hotel Saturday at 3 P. M., March 24. : The junior company is made up of children from four to fourteen years old and astonishing as it may seem to those who are unacquainted with the innate dramatic ability of children, this child cast handles Shakespeare's metered lines with complete natural- ness and comprehension. The child audiences which have seen the play in the Jack and Jill theater have taken the greatest delight in Petrucchio's high-handed methods with his dis- agreeable bride. After all, the basic story of "The Taming of the Shrew" is merely that of a badtempered per- son being liberally dosed with his own medicine, and everyone knows how children adore seeing the wicked given their come-uppance. Groups from several of the suburban schools have been active in.the plans for this benefit and are making up parties of school children to see the performance Saturday. Six Italians Carry Out Vow to Become Citizens A group of six friends camei td Glencoe from Italy soon after the war to make their homes on the north shore and with the avowed purpose of becoming American citizens. On March 13, Fred Sacco, the last of the group to obtain citizenship, was given his final papers. Oreste Amici was the first to become a citizen, getting his papers last fall. Since then Nar- cissus Ferraro, John Sacco, Joe Marchioretto, and Pete Marchioretto have obtained their naturalization credentials.

The title of the picture is "Rio Terra." C. N. Stokes, former instructor of mathematics at New Trier High school, recently stopped for a short visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. N. Dox, 1116 Elmwood avenue, Wil- mette. Hope to Begin Work on Evanston Light System by Sept. 1 Work may start on Evanston's pro- posed $1,750,000 city-wide lighting sys- tem by Sept. 1, according to the lat- est estimates. At the meeting of the city council March 13, the project was turned over to the board of local im- provements by the council's lighting committee, which had mulled it over for almost two years. The routes and circuits and general building plans have been worked out by the engineers, and now it is up to the board and the art commission to select the type of posts and lamps and decide on other features of physical appear- ance. The council has indicated by resolu- tion that it favors 20-foot lamp posts around Fountain square, 18-foot ones along the principal business streets and boulevards and 15-foot ones else- where, the Fountain square posts to carry two lamps and the others one, "New Attitude Toward Sex"--Topic at Forum "Our New Attitudes Toward Sex-- Promise or Menace?" will be t ject for discussion at the m g the Uptown Forum Sunday evening, March 25.
