NO FEAR OF CRITICS "Old Lady 31" Presented in Telling Fashion by Community Drama Club Players; Brings Out New Talent BY OBSERVER The statement has been made that amateurs do not want honest crit- icism. The fact is, as Alexander Dean has made clear in his recent lectures, they do not want to be measured by a standard not applicable to their work. Even so, "Old Lady 31" will stand the test of comparison with any re- cent work done here. It is one of the very best things yet put out by the Community Drama club. Mrs. Goble and her assistant, Mrs. Wersted, may well be satisfied with such a production. Mrs. Freeman evi- dently spared no pains in . planning and securing the very delightful cos- tumes, while the settings of the three acts were most satisfying, thanks to Mrs. Winterbotham and helpers. Mr. Higgins as "Old Lady 31" out- did himself! But Mrs. Karnopp was his equal and carried her lines and in- terperted them without ever stepping out of the part. As to the old ladies, they were a lively and very human group. It is a long time since Win- netka has seen Mrs. Thurston on the boards, but she has lost none of her dramatic sense. Mrs. Carroll Murphy as "Blossy" made her first appearance and scored a huge success. The young couple were an attractive foil for their elders, and their little love affair wandered in and out in pretty fash- ion. - Clever stage management was dis- played by Mr. Goble and his as- sistants in putting four such different settings in place. To end where we began--Such work need not shun crit- jcism. It is a revealing picture of what a group of intelligent amateurs are capable of doing and should augur well for the future interest in the work of the Community Drama club. NEW PAVING BEGUN As the outcome of a long discussion by residents in the neighborhood of Sunset road and Chestnut street paving has finally been started on Sunset road from Linden avenue to Birch street and on Chestnut street from Sunset road to Hill road.
