Spiegel; Jr^ president of the North Shore Piayers. in an inter- view this week gave quite a lengthy outline of the scope of talent in the organization and the high ideala to which the Players aspire. The North Shore Players," said Spiegel," are true amateur performers in every sense of that term" Many people, when thinking of the amateur, retain in-the back of their minds a hazy idea of slap-stick comedy and mediocre - performance. But the true amateur player is very often as good, if not superiorrto many players of the so-call-ad 'Road Companies.' In factr the North Shore Players are a group of professional people, who, for the love of their art, have spent consider- able time and money in perfecting themselves 4n-their^c^sen-avocationv Defines the Amateur •"Here is where the North Shore Players differ from the ordinary actor. The North Shore Player* haste nt> ft? nahcial interest in perfecting their talent. On the contrary, they devote many hours of their time to study and rehearsals, which emphasizes the fact that their love is truly in their art. An organization such as this, posed of earnest, capable and talented people in our own community, best ex- presses my idea of what amateur theatricals really should mean. They are amateurs in the highest sense, car- rying oh their work, not for personal gain, but for jpure love of the thing" f|Saturday's||;i»erformance is for a worthy cause. Every cent of the profits are to go to Wilmette charities. Everyone connected with the organiza- tion is giving unselfishly of time and energy to make this a success. ||S The three one-act^ plays consist^* "The Last RehewiaL'^eaturingJoj^ Driscoil, Mary Riecksoh, Joan Ooldeh, James Gibson, and Miss Rail.
