Hubbard Woods Trust & Savings Bank 652 Linden Avenue Hubbard Woods has been a valuable and busy member for the past two seasons. Previous to joining "The Miracle" company, Miss George was a member of the Neigh- borhood Playhouse company in New York, and has had long and successful experience on the New York stage. Her versatility is amazing and is representative of the Chicago Art theatre's ideal of each actor, a finished, adaptable part of a perfect whole, ready to play a hero or a butler at a moment's notice, with equal accuracy and enjoyment of the role. Last week, for example, Miss George portrayed the blind and tragic "Bertha Plum- mer" in Dickens' "The Cricket on the Hearth"; this week, in sketches of Russian and American Life, she plays "Jen Whalen," the wife of a light- house keeper in the sketch by Wilbur Daniel Steele entitled "Ropes"; "Nat- alya Stepanovna Tchubkov," a Rus- sian farmer's daughter of uncertain years in "The Proposal," a sketch by Anton Chekhov; and Mrs. Mary Rig- ley, the wife of a pastor of a Reformed church, in George Kelly's sketch, "The "Flattering Word." Then, in "The Marriage of Balzimi- noff," by Alex. Ostrovsky, which is to be presented September 19 and 20, Miss George takes the role of "Aku- lina Gavrilovna Krasavina, a schem- ing, obese old professional match- maker. And in the final bill. a_transla- tion from the Spanish of Sierra's play, 'Wife to a Famous Man," she is the admiration of other women, idle and spoiled.

The matter was referred to the com- mittee on plats and zoning, of which Trustee Doris D. Benson is chairman. At a former meeting of the board, and at the meeting this week the commit- tee recommended that no action be taken at this time to extend the busi- ness area in this section.
