Number 1932. The seal of the Wilhelmstrasse. Good! They have told me of your coming, Number 1932." Thus speaks Joseph Almer, played by Bob Spiegel, to Captain Wood- house, agent number 1932, in reality John Iliff, At last, after years of waiting for the arrival of Woodhouse, success is nearly his! The agents of the great German Secret Service, the Wilhelmstrasse, almost--almost in en- tire power! He continues excitedly. "Captain Woodhouse, almost any day now England's greatest fleet--more than forty ships--will put in here on its way to the Black Sea. We shall see them coming to anchor in the bay, lying there with their flags flying, safe, secure." Then softly, exultantly: Thrills Aplenty "Our big moment--it is close. Listen. Room D, that is the room. From there every mine in the harbor can be ex- ploded in ten seconds." Indeed, with men stationed in the very heart of England's seemingly im- pregnable fortress, how could the care- ful plans of the Wilhelmstrasse fail? What could prevent their destruction of the fleet? What was to hinder their getting absolute control of the sea? In the play "Inside the Lines," which New Trier students will give Saturday, the nineteenth of this month, the in- nermost workings of this vast organi- zation are revealed. The fate of the British ships rests in the hands of Captain Woodhouse, agent number 1932, who is on the Rock of Gibralter as an English officer. Moving silently through the play is the mysterious figure of Jaimihr Khan, servant of the government general. Just who he is and what his part is in the story will be unfolded in the play. Rollin Simmons is playing the Hindu. Not All Serious But not everything is so serious. In direct contrast to the rest of the play are the members of the Henry J. Sher- man family, father, mother, and daugh- ter Kitty, who comment with charac- teristic small-town American naiveté on the situation in which they find themselves. Their chief concern is to return to Kewanee and the States. Rehearsals of the play are now go- ing on under the direction of Mr. Gordon Van Kirk, and students are working to make the evening of Sat- urday, November 19, one to look for- ward to. Winnetka League of Women Voters Meets November 21 Because of the State convention, which is being held at Peoria, Ill, next week, the Winnetka League of Wom- en Voters has been forced to change the date of the regular monthly lunch- eon meeting to Monday, November 21. Mrs. Ernest S. Ballard, chairman of the International Relations committee, will be in charge of the meeting. As a feature of the program the prizes which were won by the block cap- tains in the recent membership drive will be presented by Mrs. George Suker, membership committee chair- man. Memberships, both renewals and new ones, are still being received by Mrs. Suker and over 100 memberships have been added to the number pre- viously recorded during the past week. The membership now totals nearly 1,400.
