LEGION SHOW 1} A Bright, Sparkling Musical Play 4 WSs om -- MAY 7th, 8th and 9th, 1925 SUPPLEM ENT OF WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK 5/7 7 1), ALL SEATS RESERVED YOUR HELP WILL "MAYSIE DORR" HELP THE VETS The Funds Received from "Married at 3" Employed for Disabled Soldiers FIGHT IS NOT OVER Winnetka Legion Is Doing Great Relief Work By THOMAS J. LYNCH (Commander, Post No. 10) To most of us who go about our daily work, it may seem un- necessary for the Winnetka Post of the American Legion to stage its two dances and one show each year. Had you been along with mem- bers of this post at Christmas ; time when we made our trip to the Great Lakes hospital, it would not be necessary for you to be told about those who are "Still Fight- ing the War." There you would have seen wrecks of men--some lame, some with only one arm or one leg, some with scars that tell the tale of the nights and days that they spent in "No Man's Land," while the rockets flared and the machine gun and artillery fire raked them constantly. These are the fellows for whom your cars used to bear the sign "Ride Soldier." These are the fellows you cheered. As the cas- ualty lists were printed, you heard on every side that nothing would be too good for them on their return. That, folks, was seven years ago. Today perhaps the fellow who ate dinner with you then, or whom you drove around on Sunday, is up at Great Lakes waiting for the end. Remain in the Fight To us who belong to the Legion the war can never end until each and every one of these Buddies has been given everything that a grateful government can afford. Not until each and every one of them shall have recovered or passed on to meet those who have gone before, can our work stop. We were with them at the start, shared the same bunk, ate of the same mess kit, tied their wounds in France. Our last act is to drape the flag over the coffin, blow Taps and dip our Legion colors as a last salute. *It was only last week that we learned of a member of our own Post who was in very bad shape. He had no money, no bonus, noth- ing, hardly, to eat. He and his family were in dire need. The post immediately paid the rent, bought coal and groceries, sent the man to the Veterans' bureau, secured his state bonus, and had him rated for Government com- pensation. He is now on the road to recovery, his family is happy, and in a few days we will have him back at work. This money was taken from the fund which the post has set aside from its dif- ferent entertainments. If vou are one of those who have bought our tickets in the past, part of your money was used in his case. They're Going "West" Occasionally we visit Great Lakes bringing candy, fruit, and cigarets, or furnishing some en- tertainment to make the burden lighter. On each trip the writer used to "beat it over" to see a couple of old Buddies who were (Continued on next page) Mrs. Guy Stuart Bailey CITE BEST WAY T0 GET TICKETS Coupons Made Exchangeable for Reserved Seats Last year we learned that the North Shore welcomed a musical play. We had feared that we might not sell all the seats for the two nights, but we did, and turn- ed people away. This year we are adding another night,--three in all--May 7, 8 and 9. We have remedied the seat sit- Up to April 21, we offered reserv- ation coupon tickets, exchange- able for reserved seats, prior to the public sale. It was a new idea, but did not sell out the house for the three nights. So there are tickets still to be had. The pub- lic ticket sale starts Monday, April 27, at 1 o'clock. Every seat is reserved at $2.00, $2.50 or $2.75, and there are only one thousand for each perform- ance. You can make reservations at: North Shore Hotel, Evanston Wilmette Music Shop, Wilmette Winnetka Talk office, Winnetka Gilbert D. Johnson & Bro., Glencoe. The offices, open from one to five every afternoon, are all con- nected with a private telephone system, so you can secure the best seats available wherever you cal. As somebody said "Just like downtown"--a ticket scalpers set- up at reduced box office prices. We are indebted to Mrs. Lloyd Hollister for HWer.generous offer to take charge of the ticket sales in Winnetka. She will be assisted in the four offices by Mrs. Fred Richardson; Mrs. C. C. Campbell in Glencoe; Mrs. Harry Hopp, Mrs. Walter R. Blunt in Wil- mette; Mrs. Hofeller, Miss. H. Hecht in Evanston. We felt that the jam at the door last year was unjust to many, and hope that our reserved seat ar- rangement will prove a success. But it's up to you to get a good seat by securing it early this com- ing week. And another thing, the usher- ettes will graciously show you to your seats. "Service with a Smile." What could be sweeter? MUSIC REAL TREAT To listen to such a talented grow of musicians as we have, will be a treat in itself. {sisted in the lyrics by Ralph H. uation for the 1925 production. CAST INCLUDES 'MANY NOTABLES Six Weeks of Rehearsals Have Perfected Each Part and Ensemble Work PLAYERS ALL KNOWN Leaders in North Shore Dramatics in Cast The book and music for "Mar- ried at Three" are written by Howard H. Hoyt of Winnetka, who directed and starred in last year's Legion show. He is as- Rosenthal of Chicago, who has had a wide experience in such af- fairs. This year, Mr. Hoyt does not appear in the cast, but is working night and day as direc- tor. He feels that the produc- tion is so much bigger than that of last year that his whole time is taken up in directing the many phases of the words and songs. The Cast Includes: RusseLL E. MacCuLLoucH as Major Harwood, a retired soldier. Howarp H. Hovr as Lanslaw Little, a young advertising man. Tom Brown as Prince Raghaji (pronounced Rag- ha-jee) an Indian Prince.

Representative Cast A more representative cast would be hard to find on the well and they carry the plot with a great deal of animation and pleasing poise. Mrs. Guy Stuart Bailey was a member of the cast of "The Gay Adventuress" and we feel highly honored in having her services again this year.

PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE During the last week, we se- cured the services of Mr. LeRoy Prinz of Evanston in directing the chorus practices. He is known in the theatrical world as the pro- ducer of choruses in "No, No, Nanette," "The Music Box Revue," and others. He has also directed complete shows given at the Rainbo Gardens, The Chicaga and Tivoli theatres. HIGH-GRADE ORCHESTRA The orchestra of twenty men will be under the direction of Mr. William B. Moebius, a member of the Chicago Civic Grand Opera company. It is very fortunate and quite unusual that the whole orchestra will be made up of "first chair" men from the Chi- cago Civic Grand Opera company. | | meant. SURPRISES DUE FOR EVERYBODY Title of "Married at Three" Doesn't Begin to Tell the Deep, Dark Plot ATTRACTIVE SETTINGS Scenes Shift From Adiron- dacks to Calcutta "Married At Three" -- Many people have been wondering what the title to this year's production If you were married. at three in the afternoon, you had a regulation wedding and reception ; il you tied the knot at three in the morning, gossip buzzed for many moons. We know you are not crazy about seeing a repetition of the old established custom of the bride in an afternoon frock and the groom in his cutaway. We are told to advise you the show is snappier than that situa+ tion would permit. But then again, the North Shore would be shocked to tears to bring the night life of a metropolitan center into its midst. And particularly to have the events end in a three- o'clock-in-the-morning wedding. But we pledged ourselves not to tell how the title was chosen-- you'll be surprised and we all like surprises. Encounter Complications We will let you "in" on part of it. Picture a beautiful June day in the Adirondacks at the country home of Major Harwood, whose hospitality affords the pleasures of his estate to many guests. He follows the footsteps of all retired men, and has a private secretary, pretty and in constant attendance. He wants to surprise the family by writing a love story for pub- lication, but Mrs. Harwood, who happens to hear his dictation, be- lieves he is making wild love to Mazie Dorr, his secretary. Fheir ward, Bobsie Farquhar is engaged to Byron Mitchell, but complica- tions arise when an Indian Prince makes his appearance at the country estate. The .American advertising business is injected into the story by Ianslaw Little. The scene shifts in the secend act to Calcutta, India, where all the complications are ironed out and you go away from the play knowing you have thoroughly en- |joyed the three hours of enter- tainment. Better Than Adventuress We were very proud of last year's show, "The Gay Adventur- ess," and sold to capacity houses. This year we are told by those who know, that "Married at Three" has a better plot, has more catchy songs, and is more elabor- ately costumed. The strain of "I Love You" runs through the play, just like "The Indian Love Call" in "Rose-Marie.": The re- hearsals have been held during the last six weeks and are on a nightly basis from now on. You simply can't afford to miss it. The performances are May 7, 8 and 9 at the Jane Kuppenheimer Mem- orial hall, Skokie school, Winnet- ka. All seats are reserved. HOME-DESIGNED POSTER Our own Paul Kreger des#gned the poster this year. We are greatly indebted to him for his earnest work toward making the play a success. =
