She is the purchaser of new equipment for the buildings and tents when necessity demands, and is forming groups of women and girls in the different vil- lages to sew for the camp. Among other things they will make pajamas for the winter camp boys, little dresses for the girls and layettes for the tiny babies. Mrs. MacLeish also superintends the collection , of rworn clothing and ^sther discarded household articles along the north shore. The clothing is made over and mended by the wo- men at the camp under the direc- tion of a teacher who is a past mast- er in the art. The sewing pavilion is on the beach, open to the sun- shine and fresh air and is equipped with sewing machines, tables, etc. Some of the special articles need- ed are an old set of the Book of Knowledge, for the boys of. the win- ter camp who ask so many questions, baby buggies and cribs, high chairs • and, always, bathing suits and more bathing suits. ... • Anyone having articles to send to the camp is asked to call Mrs. Bruce MacLeish, phone Glencoe 186.

The beach and its attendant prob- lems have long been matters of con- siderable concern to village officials, and the crowded condition at, the bathing place last season prompted early action this year designed to ef that automobile parking at the beach must be positively prohibited. Prac- tically all of these machines, it was pointed out. were owned by Chicago- ans who have been accustomed to motor to suburban beaches, passing up the less inviting shore places in the city. Secondly, it was decided that the the refreshment stand at the beach be operated at cost, and, again, that the cluttering- of the beach environs with wearing apparel and the trash left in the trail of luncheon parties must be prohibited. The bath house, only, may be employed as a "dress- ing-room^â€"â€" Rates at the beach will remain vir- tually the same as the assessments of last season, it is said. The Park Board members promised ^hat-str4ct-regulatory^neasures would be employed at the beach to insure maint enanee of perfectâ€"Order* and that it was the avowed purpose of Hie Park Board to maintain the bath- ing place, in so far as possible, ex- clusively for the pleasure of Wilmette residents.

NORTH SHORE PUYERS START LITTLE THEATER Initial Performances ef New««t North Shore Dramatic Club Scheduled I Saturday,______ PLAYS AT WOMAN'S CLUB Three Oae-act PUyi Arranged; New Trier and North we* tern Actors Appear in Cast* Tonight and Saturday evening at the Wihnette Woman's club, will be witnessed tlu* official opening of the North Shore Players with three one- act plays, "The Maker of Dreams", "Suppressed Desires", and "Gran- goire" on the bill. The north shore will have reason to be proud of this group of young artists if the communities will support them and encourage them to remain togethes. Several of the players to be seen this week are or have been professionals, and, with the exception of one or two, all of them intend to make the stage their work. It is, therefore, with some little excitement that the opening night is awaited, for the first perform- ance of this Little Theater-group is promised to be an artistic success. Of the cast of the "Makerâ€"of- Dreams" probably Ralph R. Bellamy 4s-tbe-best Jtnown to the north shore. Mr. Bellamy is portraying the manu- facturer and. it is said, will give an artistic performance. It will be re- membered that he^~played -theâ€"very bashful Englishman in "Miss Bob White" last fall. George Shipman and. Miss Phillis Ogan play Pierrot and Pierrette, respectively* In the cast of "Grangoire" Harlan Ware, last season of the Wales Play- ers, one-time dramatic reader on Chautauqua, will portray the title role. Mr. Ware is well known to the north shore having appeared here many times in many different roles and his work is a promised treat. The cast includes also," Miss Evelyn Segs- worth whose presentation of a very difficult character in the New Trier prwlitetion of * "If I Were King" cre- ated a lot of favorable comment. IMiss Segsworth is a young artist of power, whose characters are always a perfect little portrait. Montgomery Major, who needs no introduction but who, ft is recalled, Wrote the "Horn of Rollizan" which was recently-pre- sented, and played King Louis in -If- I Were King", will play again the character of Louis. Miss Marcia Lauer, James Gibson and David Levy complete the cast. The cast of "Supressed Desires" is one which, it is said, the North Shore Players defy any persons to equal in any Little Theater in the country. Everett Fox, a Northwestern student and an actor of great promise ana* much experience, will play the hen- pecked husband. Miss Elizabeth Duffy, who is well known in and about Chicago as a dramatic reader, and whose work is always artistic is to give a fine characterization in the part of Mabel. Miss Mary Ricksen, formerly^wtth Wffliam Rock and thc^ National Stock company, plays the wife. This play is clever and the cast is unusually good. The Players, it is said, are not wor- rying about support, for the north shore usually responds to artists who do their best. That the audience will get its money's worth there is no doubt for the talent of the north shoreâ€"and the very best of itâ€"is combining to provide an enjoyable evening. . Earl Fox is conductor of the or- chestra of about fifteen pieces which is preparing to entertain^with *he Plavers. Mr. Fox is exceptionally well fitted for the rather difficult task he has, for he, himself, is an excep- tionally good violinist who has. most probably, a future on the concert stage. .* j The tickets for this first perform-^ ance are on sale now at the drag stores of the north shore.
