LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 9, 1923 COME SEVEN IS DIFFICULT PLAY Cast of Exceptional Skill Needed for Theatre Guild Performance "FUNNIEST COMEDY" Shows in Kenilworth * February 24 on BY GUILD CRITIC Reports from headquarters of the North Shore Theatre Guild are to^ the effect that the production of "Come Seven" is progressing in a satis- factory manner, and the indications are that it will be the most popular play the guild has presented. Atten- dance at a rehearsal a few nights ago disclosed the fact that the- players en- _ trusted to interpret this play are a -masrrapable group of amateurs. Difficult Production "Come Seven" is not an easy play to produce. In the first place, as we all know, comedy and farce comedy -are the most difficult of all plays to act, for a player must be fair- ly well equipped technically before he can delineate and project the type of role usually found in plays of swiftly moving action. When the comedy in question is one of the character of "Come Seven" it is doubly difficult because all of the eleven characters of the play are negroes and the player must not only sink his own individu- ality into that of another race but must also acquire his mannerisms, methods of speech, etc. That the guild players are succeeding as, well as they are, therefore, indicates that they are possessed of considerable versality. Mr. Percy Eckhart, Mrs. John Marshall ancr Miss Whitehead are particularly effective. Commedy of Fun There are still some people who are under the impression that "Come Seven" is a story of the well known "crap shootin' art. Quite to the con- trary, this splendid comedy by Octav- us Roy Cohen, originally produced at the Broadhurst theatre in New York, is a play in which all of the char- acteristics of the southern negro are moat â-  skillfully puiliayed by a man who knows and understands them, is by general consensus one of the funniest commedies America has ever duced. Announce Date* The play will be presented in Lake Forest at Durand Hall, Lake Forest University, Tuesday, February 20, at the Woman's Club in Kvanston on Wednesday evening February 21, at the Skokie School in Winnetka Thursday and Friday, the 22nd and 23rd, and at Kenilworth Club, Kenil- worth, Saturday, February 24. In ad- dition to the regular musical program to be furnished by the North Shore Theatre Guild orchestra, there will bo a group of negro spirtuals sung by a quartette composed of Mrs. Asa Cooley, Mrs. Stuart Bailey, Mrs. J. Williams Macy and Dr. Davies Lazear. The entire production is un- der the direction of Miss Lillian Fitch. MEDWJANSTO HAVE PAPER Students to Publish Real Paper Students of the Medill School of Journalism of Northwestern Univers- ity will next semester, starting the second week of February, try their hands as reporters, copy readers and editors of a "Chicago daily news- paper." Although their journaj, "The Medil- lian," will never know the whirr and click of the linotype or the roll of the press, it will be in the editorial-de^. partment a complete reproducton of a metropolitan daily. Students will perform in all the capacities of a city newspaper organization, from "'cov- ering" actual news events to making up the paper in "dummy" form. Real News Room A large class room in the downtown Northwestern building, at 31 West Lake street, has been arranged as the Medillian's news room, with a Belasco touch of stage setting. Typewriters, paste pots, shears, dictionaries, tele- phone, roller towel and all the other accessories of a regular newspaper shop have been provided in faithful detail. . v^ The prized piece of furniture is a a copy desk of the "horseshoe" type, which is believed to be the oldest on-e in Chicago; It was for years in the old Inter Ocean office and then the property of the Chicago Evening Post, which presented it to the school. Old-time newspaper men who remem- ber the desk when its quartersawed top was new and glossy reckon that â- millions of words of "copy" recording the news events of more than a^qiiar- ter of a century passed over the desk in its day. Weekly Publication "The Medillian" is to be a daily in pattern but a weekly in practice. It will be "published" one day a week, Thursday, as a laboratory course for credit and will be open to students of the downtown division as well as those on the Evanston campus. Stu- dents may register at the downtown building until February 3 Chicago daily papers of that day will be used as standards for judging the students' handling of the news. When the speculative Medillian has "gone to press," the stories"written by student reporters, the headlines de- vised by the copyreaders and the front-page-made-up-by the news ed- itor will be checked by the instructor against the same matter in the real papers. » Any member of this fourth and one- half estate who may grumble at the lack of a rumbling press will be im- pressed with the situation" as Arcadia in journalismâ€"no libel suits, no mail trains to catch and no disgruntled subscriber. Snow-Covered^Icy Sidewalk Is Cause of Fractured Arms A light covering of snow on an icy stretch'on Washington avenue, between Seventh and Eighth streets, caused two accidents Tuesday afternoon in which the unfortunate victims suffered broken arms. Mrs. Frederick B. Crosslcy, wife of the village attorney, fell on the treach- erous ice, suffering a compound fracutre of an arm. Within less than an hour Mrs. Carl Sterner, wife of the local home decorator, fell at the same place and also suffered a compound fracture of an arm. Village officials advise the scattering of ashes or sand over slippery spaces on sidewalks. This, they explain, can be done by the householders at little in- convenience and may have the effect of preventing many serious accidents.
