This league has for its object the cementing of the ties which bind Marines everywhere to the Corps of which they once were or are now active members, the renewal of old associations, to preserve the tra- dition of the Corps, to aid unfortunate members, to perpetuate and honor the memories of those who died for our Country and to promote comradeship, goodwill and hospitality among all Marines. It is non political, non sec- tarian, non partisan and in no sense a competitor or rival of any other veteran organization. The league ap- peals particularly to those Marines who are not eligible for other veteran organizations. The first get-together meeting, for the purpose of effecting a permanent organization, will be held in Fraternity hall, 19 W, Adams street, at 8 P. M,, May 31, 1928. Colonel Reid will fur- ther explain the' league and its cost, which is small.

Burrill of Wilmette, was presented by the "Barnstormers" for the North Shore Art league's last meeting Thursday evening, May 10, at Community House. Briefly the story is of a typical pre- historic cave family: the father, Paley O'Lith, brow-beaten and comfort lov- ing, presumably a parodical repro- duction of the modern father, as were the rest of the characters; the mother, Mrs. Paley O'Lith, a club lov- ing, philanthropic female, supposed- ly endowed with all the peculiar- ities attributed to the twentieth century woman; the young son, Fauna, mischievous and inventive, and his sis- ter, Flora, a stone-age flapper, sought in marriage both by Ab Origine, a brutal and undeveloped ape-man, and her cousin, Nee O'Lith. It seemed that Ab already had a wife, but simply throws her over the cliff because she bores him. Nee O'Lith becomes en- gaged to Flora. There is a will left by an anthropoid great grandfather to be read at the betrothal of the daughter of the family. This will provides that unless she marries the strongest of men, the entire estate, including the cave, will revert to charity. Such a ca- tastrophe is avoided by Nee shooting Ab with his little bow and arrow after much comedy. One of the creatures adding to the background is the Dodo bird, that calmly Charlestons through this dramatic episode. Even in those pre-historic cave days one is-led to believe that family pride, science, wills, estates, politics, ballots, dances, Daughters of the Evolution, feminism, strikes, and women's clubs were matters of common interest. The role of Paley. O"Lith was pro- fessionally well done by Miner Co- burn and Mrs. John Bennett Boddie assumed the part of Mrs. Paley O'Lith remarkably well. Flora was well acted by Kathryn Parish, although a trifle overdone. She presented a charming appearance, due solely to her own at- tractiveness, as the costumes were simply drapes of furs. Francis Lutz played the part of Fauna with as much cleverness as the part demanded. The part of Nee O'Lith, was taken by Clarence Westerlund. Dr. W. W. Hawkins, taking the part of Ab, a very difficult role, proved himself to be to our mind, the cleverest actor. Ann Boddie was the Dodo bird and William Hutchins supplied the off-stage music. The setting and costumes were re- markably good and the properties un- usual. This task rested in the com- petent hands of Mrs. Boddie and Mrs. Burrill. In the entire, the play was amusing and entertaining, and was a decidedly "different" amateur performance. BIG U. OF I. SPORTS EVENT The University of Illinois is prepar- ing to greet the throngs of visitors who are streaming into the university towns for the gala interscholastic this week-end. Three baseball games, a dual track meet, the state high school track and field, golf and tennis cham- pionships, and the gigantic student cir- cus are scheduled as entertainment for the high school athletes, their support- ers and the many other visitors at- tracted by the thrill-brimmed week- end.
