The Temple Players of the North Shore Congre- gation Israel, will give their initial pro- duction of the season on that evening. An unusually interesting performance is promised. Many humorous and thrilling situations arise, it is said. "Picture, if you can, the introduction into a prominent society home of a creature called 'The Brat," reads a notice. "Indeed this environment pro- duces many interesting incidents." Prominent in the cast are Miss Ruth Blumenstock and Miss Helen Metz of Winnetka, the Misses Marjorye and Jane Hill of Wilmette, Miss Alice Veit of Evanston, Miss Beatrice Lang and Mrs. Harry Boyle of Glencoe. The male characters will be portrayed by Robert and Edgar Koretz and Milton Klee of Glencoe, and Mark Kalischer of Evanston. The stage managers are Edgar Koretz and David Kramm. Those who attended last year's per- formances of "The Youngest" and "So This Is London" will remember the excellent work done by the cast under the direction of Sybella Woodward Butsch. Miss Butsch is also directing "The Brat." Tickets may be had at the Temple office, Lincoln and Vernon avenues, Glencoe, or from Miss Helen Metz, 854 Lincoln avenue, Winnetka. "The Brat" is the first of three pro- ductions to be given this season by the Temple Players.
