NORTH SHORE HOTEL BUILDING PHONE GREENLEAF 3006 Open Evenings Till 10--Sundays 1 to 9 Officers of Corporations Speaking about Christmas gifts, a buyer for a large corporation said, "Every Christmas I receive loads of presents--but somehow I have never been given a box of nuts. knew about those beautiful five-pound boxes of Billy Boys." I wish some of my friends If you knew how artistic and attractive big choice nuts appear in richly lithographed boxes when packed by Billy Boy--and then add that exquisite unequalled deliciousness of fresh crisp nuts processed the Billy Boy way, you would use Billy Boys for Christ- They're so different and unusual--so good to see and so good to eat, that they make an impression that is pleasant and lasting. Your list --your cards for enclosure--your selection of boxes--Billy Boy Billy Boy makes Christmas easy for you. Drop in--taste and see these striking gifts. BILLY BOY NUT KITCHEN 519 DAvis ST. Clever Stagecraft for First Play at Children's Theater The Evanston Children's theater will open its season in December with a play which bristles with mechanical difficulities. "The Wizard of Oz" pre- sents problems which tax the ingenuity of the producers, but they are being solved in such a way that the audience will be denied none of the thrills which it craves. To begin with, there is the cyclone which picks Dorothy up in Kansas, where she has always lived with her family, and sets her down unharmed in the midst of the Land of Oz. Then there is the matter of the appearances of the Wizard in different forms. It requires a versatile person and tricks of lighting to make him appear as a man, a great head, a raging beast, and a ball of fire. And what could be more thrilling than to have the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow torn, literally, limb from limb right on the stage, and then put together again by the ingenious Wink- ies--all right there before one's eyes? To say nothing of the Witch of the West who charms a rod of iron so that it becomes invisible to human eyes. And when this wicked witch comes to her punishment, and is actually melted by a pail of water which is thrown over her--so absolutely melted that she vanishes completely, and the Wink- ies are called in to clean up the "mess." Such a rapid succession of magical happenings might daunt a less intrepid production manager than Douglas Bry- ant, and the Children's theater is for- tunate in having so expert a stage mechanician at its head. The problems of magic involved in this production are so fascinating that when he called for students from the School of Speech Northwestern university to work with him, no less than 40 volunteered. Chil- dren's theater plays mean long hours of hard work for production crews. Plan Two Concerts for Georgian in December Only two musicals will be held at the Georgian hotel during December be- cause of the press of the holiday activities, Mrs. Ernau Akeley, director of the musicals, announces. They will be held Sunday evenings, Dec. 9 and 23, instead of every week as usual. The Swigart string quartet, a group well-known on the north shore, will give the Dec. 9 program, and Dec. 23, a male quartet which Arthur Ranous directs will be heard. Mr. Ranous is an old resident of Evanston. Winnetka Man, Companion Victims of Auto Bandits Richard Edwards of 917 Willow road, Winnetka, and Miss Hattie Boehm, 1249 N. Campbell avenue, Chi- cago, were robbed by two auto bandits encountered while he was driving near Wilmette avenue and Hibbard road early last Sunday morning. Accosted at the point of a gun, Edwards was relieved of $17 while his companion was forced to contribute a diamond ring to the bandit loot. Edwards and Miss Boehm were returning to her home from a party when the car con- taining the two thieves forced them to the roadside. . VACATION ENDS MONDAY Classes in the Winnetka Public schools will be resumed next Monday morning, December 3, after a four-day vacation. School was dismissed Wed- nesday afternoon to give teachers and pupils a chance to eat their Thanks- giving turkey.
