LEGION SHOW NEWS--SUPPLEMENT OF WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK A BRIGHT, SPARKLING MUSICAL PLAY CAST WILL INCLUDE ARRAY OF NOTABLES (Continued from first page) in so many performances, in both amateur and professional produc- tions, that we will not begin to enumerate them. Mrs. Norma Hopkins Bos- worth makes her premier appear- ance in Winnetka, but her fame in other parts, particularly in St. Louis and Milwaukee, follows her here. You may have heard her in the air on K S D. Her renditions of the music as an In- dian Princess are par excellent. Miss Bessie Andrus is another "find" for the North Shore, and we feel greatly honored to have her in the cast. work in Chicago, as a coloratura soprano, has been wonderful. Her experience with The Redpath Company for three years, has given her the opportunity to start out this year with her own company. She very ably portrays the character of Major Har- wood's ward, Bobsie Farquhar. Stars in Community Plays Mrs. Harry Barnum has been associated with the "Community Players" ever since its organiz- ation. She was a member of the cast in "Milestones" and as Mrs. Harwood in "Married at Three" she shows her exceptional talent. Howard H. Hoyt, who becomes a successful young advertising, Lanslaw Little by name, needs no explanation of his dramatic abil- ity. He has appeared in numer- ous plays and sketches and can always be counted on to fill the bill. Russell E. MacCullough blos- soms out as a new comer in our theatrical circles. He shows wonderful talent and we know in his important part as Major Har- wood, he will surprise even him- self with the success of his efforts. Dr. Davies Lazear will be well remembered in the North Shore Theatre Guild production "Fash- "ions". He adds a great deal to this year's Legion Show. Works and "Plays" Tom Brown, who is working hard as the general chairman of the Show Committee, is Prince Raghaji. He has untiring energy and always puts over "big" what- ever he undertakes. He did very well in last year's show, and makes the best Indian Prince we know. And besides, he has the whole responsibility of making the 1925 show a success, financial- ly and otherwise. Lloyd Faxon, Sam Smart and R. L. Stoddard have minor parts, Her concert |} "PRINCESS LOLA" Wilhite Photo Mrs. Norma H. Bosworth but are doing very well in them. Mr. Faxon had the "lead" in Don, just staged last week by "The Community Players," while Mr. Smart was in the cast of "The Red Robe." To give you the best possible musical play, the cast has been rehearsing for the last six weeks and are planning to continue on a nightly basis from now until the first performance. Besides these faithful men and women, Miss Marion Lasier has been at the regular rehearsals to play the piano accompaniment. Besides Miss Lasier, Mrs. Wil- liam D. McAdams, Miss Clara Harsh, Mrs. Parke J. Keeney, and Mrs. Ernst von Ammon have rotated as accompanists. We know that it's a lot different to play for the enjoyment of it rather than stop and start many times in rehearsals. We appreci- ate their kindness and patience to make "Married at 3" a wonder- ful success. Chorus Crowded with Talent It is interesting to know that in some of the "numbers" of the chorus, for both men and women have as many as six changes in steps. Even professional shows usually have only four, and then work hard to perfect them. We are publishing in another section, a list of the men and women in the chorus. We appre- ciate the many hours that they have put into rehearsals but their reward will come when the or- chestra plays in the pit and they are giving you three hours of amusement from behind the foot- lights. 50 North Shore Beauties THE 1925 WINNETKA LEGION SHOW Winnetka Post No. 10 Skokie School, Winnetka Jane Kuppenheimer Memorial Hall May 7th, 8th and 9th 8:15 p. m.

Back of the scenes are many who have cooperated to the maximum de- gree. The general chairman is Tom Brown, who has slept and lived this play for the last two months. Through his efficient methods, all the details are being handled with clock-like precision. The other members of the gen- eral committee included Com- mander Thomas J. Lynch, Arthur Gedge and Lloyd Hollister. In arranging about the reserva- tion coupon tickets and the nec- essary numbered "pasteboards," Arthur Gedge served as chairman of a committee including Dr. Lynn, Robert Meloney, and Rob- ert Bryant. Mrs. Lloyd Hollister has kindly consented to assume the responsibility of the reserva- tion plats. By the effective sys- tem now in operation, she or one of her assistants can give you the best seats left. Handles Job Well In selecting the personnel for the cast and choruses, J. Endicott Bradstreet has had an extremely difficult and diplomatic job, but as you can well imagine, he has fulfilled this job very well. Mrs. Kenneth Burns and Miss Marion Dawes have assisted materially in selecting the choruses. The posters were distributed in all the towns from Evanston to Highland Park by Ernest Camp- bell, chairman of the committee, assisted by O. L. Porter, Robert Hofelder and Fred Richardson. Marcus D. Richards was chair- man of the committee to elect the patrons and patronesses. The other members consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Hibbard Casselberry, Mrs. Kenneth Burns and Miss Marion Dawes. The program committee in- cludes John Lasier, chairman, Raymond Kloepfer, C. C. Camp- bell and Fred Richardson. They have already enlisted the support of many North Shore merchants to the Legion cause. Women Design Costumes The costumes are being de- signed and made under the direc- tion of Mrs. Thomas M. Brooks. Her able assistants are: Mrs. Hathaway Watson, Mrs. Mon- tague Ferry, Mrs. E. V. L.. Brown, Mrs. Cornelius Lynde, and Miss Marion Dawes. We understand that the effects will be gorgeous in every detail. David Lasier will be stage man- ager, assisted by Marshall Knox and Harold Schaefen. The elec- trician will be H. M. Harshaw, as- sited by Harold Bohnen. The properties are under the eagle eyes of E. Sawyer Smith and Dr. Frank N. Woods.

He wants his thanks and "BOBSIE FARQUHAR" Daguerre Photo Miss Bessie Andrus RIVALS BEST SHOWS The reason we publish this "Legion Show News" supplement is to prove to you that "Married at Three" is not an ordinary play. We are giving you a musical show equal to any professional production in snappy lines and tuneful songs. "The more you tell, the more you sell"'--we are copying here, but it's true. MUSIC WEEK DIVERSION It is fitting that "Married at Three," a bright, sparkling, mu- sical play, should be shown May 7, 8 and 9 as that will conclude National Music Week. The slogan is "Give more Thought to Music." We expect to live up to this slo- gan 100 per cent. COSTUMES A SPECIALTY The costume committee met last Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Hathaway Watson. The costumes will have the fine touch of several women who know how to produce big things. PRESS SHOWS INTEREST Did you see the fine write-up we had in "The Chicago Tribune" two weeks ago? We know the recognition of last year's produc- tion will bring out further inter- est from the press. appreciation to be extended to all of the members of the Post who have volunteered to work when he called for their assistance. Words almost fail to tell the unmeasurable amount of work that has been carried on by the production staff, in addition to the actors and actresses themselves. YOUR HELP WILL AID DISABLED WAR VETS (Continued from first page) there. Last time they were gone. Inquiry revealed that they had crossed the Great Divide and gone West. You may be sure I was "| glad to know that I had done all within my power to make their last days happy. The Winnetka Post has no reg- ular revenue except the small dues of its members which barely pay its expenses through the year. Consequently, we call up- on you at times to come to our dance and see our show. We do however claim that we give you something for your money. If you have attended our dances, or if you saw "The Gay Adventur- ess" last year, you will agree that they were the best possible. We use whatever money we raise to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves and trust that you will give us the same support in this new under- taking as we have received in the past. Come over to Skokie school on May 7, 8 and 9, and then drive up and see the boys whom your attendance is going to help. We will be glad to go with you and show you through the hospital. I am sure you will say that the Winnetka Post of the American Legion is fighting a worthy cause, and you will be glad to have helped it along. Then if, at some later date, you need us, Call! The Legion was the first 'organization to arrive in the Tornado zone of Southern Illi- nois and stayed to the last. *"'The American Legion Keeps the Faith." SONGS TO FEATURE "I Love You," "Oriental Blues," and "The Hindoo Moon" are the catchy songs. These are only three of the dozen musical num- bers besides the opening choruses and finales.
