PO CTY ITRT, 7 ly 2 WINNETKA TALK A Weekly News-Magazine for Winnetka VOL. XV,, NO. 35 WINNETKA, ILLINO'S, NOVEMBER 6, 1926 PRICE FIVE CENTS WINNETKA PROMINENT IN FIRST GUILD PLAY Also Misses Hanks, Sanford, Mrs. T. Marshall, H. P. Wil- liams, H. Mertz, R. Bentley J. Williams Macy and Oliver Grover of Winnetka are playing important parts in the production of "Autumn Fire," by the North Shore Theatre guild. Mr. Macy last played with the guild in the "Duenna" in which he ex- celled all of his previous performances. "Autumn Fire" furnishes him greater opportunity for acting than any of the former plays. He is playing the title and leading role. Miss Grover has not appeared with the guild since "Come Seven" five years ago, although she has appeared in many productions in Winnetka. | Other people of the cast are Julia Hanks and Helen Sanford who have played together in "The Enchanted April" and "Outward Bound." They are as experienced and able actresses as the Guild has and with Mr. Macy and Miss Grover, make a strong nu- cleus for a powerful cast. Mrs. Thomas Marshall of Lake Forest, Henry P. Williams of Glencoe, and Hawley Mertz are in the cast. In First Guild Role Richard Bentley of Lake Forest is playing a most important part. It is his first appearance with the guild but judging from his rehearsals, it will not be his last. ~ Membership tickets may still be pro- cured from Mrs. Enos Barton, chairman of the Winnetka Committee. Although these are for two admit- tances to each of the four productions this season, yet they are usable for any production or performance of the vear.. This has been arranged as a convenience to those members who are going away for the winter months and who wish to use all of their tickets for one performance or two. Performance at Club A recent change in the place for the Wilmette performance has been made. Hereafter, the Guild will perform at the Ouilmette Country club instead of the place given on the membership tickets. The date of the Wilmette per- formance has been changed to Tues- day, November 16. We're Enjoying Super- Fine Health Hereabouts Winnetka enjoyed almost perfect health during the month of October according to Health Officer C. C. Schneider, who submitted his regular report to the village authorities this week. Regarding health conditions during the month Dr. Schneider writes : "There were reported during Octo- ber only two cases of whooping cough and one case of chicken-pox. The two cases of whooping cough were both in the same family, and the case of chick- en-pox was immediately removed to a hospital in Chicago, thus making only one home in the Village of Winnetka that was placarded and quarantined during the entire month of October. | cliffe; Lois Ingals, Mrs. James Dem- | Director, "GOOSE HANGS HIGH" Community Players to Be Seen in First of Season's Production at | Matz Hall, November 10 and 11 | "Goose Hangs High" in Matz Hall, November 10 and CO, UNITY HOUSE The first play of the season to be presented by the Community Drama club, will be given in Matz Hall, Com- munity House, the evenings of No- vember 10 and 11.

GOLD STAR MEMORIAL WORKERS GO ON SHIFT Canvassers From Village Hall Headquarters Work Day and Night to Raise $37,000 Headquarters for the Winnetka War memorial have been opened in the Vil- lage hall, where workers are at hand dividing their time into 'two shifts, the first of which is from. 8:30 o'clock in the morning until 5:30 in the after- noon, the second from 5:30 o'clock to 10:30 in the evening. E The work being done on the card catalogue of 2,500 names taken from the water and light list was completed this week, and the cards are being used to direct the high powered can- vass now in progress in the village. George B. Massey, general chairman, and Heyliger A. deWindt, chairman of the finance committee, intend to get a contribution from every house- hold in Winnetka. It looks now, they state, as if they would succeed because of the quick response to their call for assistance. The following groups have volun- teered to furnish canvassers: The American Legion of Winnetka, The Winnetka Men's club, and The Tri- angle club. All men wishing to work on the canvass, whether members of the above groups or not, are requested to call at the headquarters in the Vil- lage hall where they will receive in- structions and an envelope of only twenty-five cards giving addresses of persons in one or two blocks, so the work will not be difficult. Tuesday afternoon a model of the memorial was shown to-a large au- dience at the Winnetka Woman's club where Miss Jane Addams. spoke. Mrs. Arthur W. Cushman the presi- dent, spoke about the beautiful idea embodied in the design for the mem- orial and, from the hearty response of the audience, the support of the Woman's club seems assured. "How much ought I to give?" is the question now most constantly heard in the village. And the answer from the committee is that each per- son should give to the Winnetka Mem- orial according to his means. Every- body should give as much as he can without hardship. Some - prefer to spread the payments over several months and in that way they can give more to make possible the beautiful memorial to our gold star men. : Children to Heln in Memorial Fund Drive Every room in the schools : of Winnetka is now organized to col- lect funds to pay for the flagstaff and platform of the Winnetka the committee an- In this way the boys and girls have a definite aim, so: that it has been suggested that funds collected in the schools be 'set apart exclu- sivelv to pay for the flagstaff and platform, and, if possible, a. tablet or some appropriate marker be put up to show future generations that these parts of the memorial were paid for by the boys and girls of our day.
