BARR The Coldwell gasoline roller and mower has a cutting width, with attachment, of 60 inches. A good many Winnetka residents have found that they can save the cost of the machine the first season, with the added advantage of a better kept lawn.

Few plays in recent years have been more excruciatingly funny than this product of England's best farce writ- ers, Will Evans and Valentine. It is a real "scoop" for the guild, since neither Chicago nor New York have had the privilege of seeing the show, which ran two and one-half years at the Shaftesbury and Aldwych theaters, London. The plot is a most ingenious fabrication of mistaken identities and dilemma, and the lines are consistently and delightfully ridiculous. Owen Directs Rehearsals David Owen is now rehearsing the play with an excellent comedy cast, including many local favorites. The decided difference between "Tons of Money" and the Guild's last production of an Ibsen tragedy is in keeping with the Guilds policy of variety. This year's program has consisted of two comedies, one 'tragedy and a mystery play. Each type of play has called for a different technique of direction, and in "Tons of Money" Mr. Owen has a chance to demonstrate what he can do with a real "knock-down and drag- out" comedy. According to present plans, "Tons of Money" will open its run in Glencoe, on April 24. From thence it will go to Highland Park, then to Lake Forest, and back to Winnetka and Wilmette to continue south to Evanston. Represents Waltonians at National Parley at Omaha The Winnetka chapter of the Izaak Walton league will be represented at the national convention of the league to be held in Omaha, Neb., April 19-20- 21, it was announced this week by George B. Massey, president of the chapter. J. F. Comee, 1612 Forest avenue, Wilmette, will attend as delegate from the Winnetka chapter. According to Mr. Massey, the annual convention of the league is easily the most important gathering of outdoorsmen and con- servationists of the year. Policies of the organization are determined and the general outdoor activities of the sportsmen of America are largely ini- tiated or passed upon by the member- ship. In conjunction with the convention is held the National Sportsmen's Show, at which manufacturers of outdoor equipment exhibit the latest offerings for the sportsman. Miss Jeanne Culver, Miss Elizabeth Evans, Miss Anna Larner, Miss Fran- ces Allworth of Wilmette, Miss Mar- jorie Oleson and Georgiana Fowler of Kenilworth, and Miss Elizabeth Eber- hart of Evanston, accompanied by Mrs. W. H. Evans of Wilmette, spent Wed- nesday and Thursday at the Dunes in Indiana. --_---- Miss Elizabeth Richards, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. James Austin Rich- ards, 739 Lincoln avenue, will not return home from Wellesley college to spend her spring vacation. She will visit her uncle and aunt, Dr. and Mrs. N. B. Van Etten, of New York city, instead of returning home. :
