Telephone Evanston 1120 Standing practically on the site of the old clubhouse and following- the plan of hominess and inviting rustic- ity which endeared the old to the hearts of the club members, the new Glenview Golf club clubhouse, has come in plan form from the hands of the architects and has been submitted to the members for their approval. Timber and plaster construction which is to be used gives the club- house an appearance in*- harmony with the grounds and assures that the building will be entirely fireproof. The interior, with fhe kitchen, din- ing room, living rooms, halls and parlors, is much in the same arrange- ment as in the old club. On the second floor there will be ten sleep- ing rooms for the accommodation of the members. Probably the most distinctive and inviting feature of the building will be the roomy covered porch, which extends the entire length of the building and is continued beyond it to the south for about half the length of the grounds. The building will face almost directly west. The estimated cost of the building alone is estimated $250,000. The fur- niture and improvement of the grounds will add another $5,000 or $10,000 to the total cost. "MISS BOB WHITE" SCORES BIG HIT Amateur Musical Comedy Perform- ance Is Pleasant Surprise to Wil- mette Audiences Wilmette went to the theater this week at the Wilmette Woman's club and witnessed with exceeding pleas- ure the amateur performance of the musical comedy production "Miss Bob White" given under direction of the Associated Guilds of St. Au- gustine's church. Viewing the performance with the customary reservations made in the instance of amateur theatricals "Miss Bob White" might generally be con- sidered the most notable performance of its type to appear on the north shore in many a day. Excellent Direction The staging of the production was skillful and effective, unusually so in view of the somewhat hampered con- fines of the comparatively small stage and auditorium. The excellent direction of Miss Orpha M. Wilcox, of the John B. Rogers Producing company, was in evidence in every scene and impressed itself upon every one in the audience. Miss Wil- cox did herself as a past master in the art of stage direction and was largely responsible for the splendid success of the performance. The cast as well as the ensemble displayed the results of excellent coaching in the rehearsals. The "stagey" atmosphere of the average amateur performance was notably lacking in "Miss Bob White". "Mildred Ummach, a junior at New Trier High school, enacted the title role with consummate skill. Her characterization of the ardently pur- sued milk-maid was particularly ef- fective and pleasing. Her "speaking voice" was excellent, her singing al- together pleasing. She played her part like a veteran, divorced, so to speak, from the usual self-conscious acting of the amateurs. Captivates With Song Eleanor Nicholes, next to the lead, captivated the audience with her sweet soprano , voice. Her acting also was highly commendable. Faith Hoffman, freshman at New Trier High school, showed > to perfection in beautiful and artistic solo dancing in spite of the fact that she was considerably hampered by rather questionable orchestration. Little Patricia Hoffman, a blithe songster of but a few summers, de- lighted the audience with her clever leading of the Bubbleland group of youngsters. Her singing of "Meet me in Bubbleland" was a noble child effort. The entire Bubbleland group did itself proud for their fathers and mothers and presented what was probably the prettiest scene of the play. Good Male Cast Leading the males in the cast were W. Harlan Ware and Dean Stevenson tramp comedians, both recognized artists and future professionals in musical comedy. Their acting was exceptionally good and appealing to the audience. Paul Bellamy and Everett Fox en- acted well the difficult roles of para- sitical English nobility. The work of Ed V/- Richardson, who played opposite Eleanor Nicholes, was good. The orchestra, in itself quite pre- sentable, at critical times in the per- formance was at fault in accompani- ment. That was true in the "first night" performance on the basis of which this brief criticism is made. The orchestra was composed of E. C. Kaumeyer, director, Mrs. Marjorie McElveen, piano, Edward Weisert, 'cello, Harold Frank, drums. Wilmette will await with pleasur- able anticipation many more of the "Miss Bob White" calibre of plays. PLEADS FOR MEDICAL AND DENTAL CLINICS Richard Fairchild, Publicity Director For Northwestern University Tells of Great Work Dealing specifically with the wel- fare work of Northwestern Uni- versity medical and dental schools, Chicago Commerce, in its issue of October 23, has a comprehensive article by Richard Fairchild on "What a University Can Do for a City." The article is featured by a 'boxed" statement by President Walter Dill Scott of Northwesterr University who dwells succinctly on education and service. "There is no competition in well- doing," writes President Scott, and he continues, "There is no rivalry between institutions devoted to ser- vice. Every act of service stimulates like actions in others. Every insti- tution devoted to service encourages and co-operates in the development of all types of service. Northwest- ern University is an institution of higher education committed to the career of service. This aim can be attained by developing in the youth the ideals and the capacity for serv- ice, by co-operating whole heartedMy with all agencies whose mission is service, and by serving the needy of the community through such agen- cies as the medical clinic and the dental clinic." Welfare Work Mr. Fairchild, who is handling pub- licity material for Northwestern' University and who obviously has made a careful study of the welfare program of the two professional schools, emphasizes this ideal when he says: "Running side by side with the students, one is delighted to find within .the university a piece of real welfare work reaching out to a large group whose sole claim for attention is physical distress which skilled treatment can assuage." He dwells in detail on the splendid activities of the university's medical and dental clinics and cites statistics demonstratingthat thousands ofmen, women and'children annually are treated without charge by the doc- tors, dentists and nurses of the two professional schools. He also has data proving that certain large Chi- cago corporations are profiting by the counsel of experts and are rap- idly installing dental departments in their plants. Mr. Fairchild has interesting material on how the lives of many babies are saved each year by the welfare section of North- western medical school and he finally argues strongly for the following establishments to be erected in con- nection with the new Chicago campus of the greater university. "A diagnostic clinic wherein will be available under one roof the of the association and by working on its numerous committees. On the other hand the churches will gain a first hand impression of business conferences as conducted today. In the case of the First Congregational church of Wilmette the Rev. Stephen A. Lloyd, pastor, will be the active representative in the association membership. specialists and the equipment to diagnose any disease; for the poor and needy this work would be done free or at cost while others would pay according to their means. "A dental infirmary patterned after the Eastman and Forsythe in- firmaries in Rochester and Boston, with additional facilities, however, and so on connected with North- western university dental school as to bring the expert students into the infirmary as operatives under proper supervision; also the estab- lishment of dental hygiene classes under the direction of the dental school faculty. "An endowment for reconstructive and industrial surgery by which_ an intensive study of this large subject in relation to industrial accidents and occupational diseases could be main- tained. Urges Medical School "A department of experimental medicine which will make possible important contributions to medical science. This would be a special school for medical men of experience and for graduate work. "In view of the effort by the gov- ernment to stamp out skin and ven- ereal diseases, the university faces the opportunity in connection with a general diagnostic clinic to organ- ize a special research and education- al department in these important studies. "Inasmuch as radium has passed the experimental stage and the X- ray is being more and more utilized in scientific research and diagnosis, an institute equipped for special scientific investigation of cancer and other maladies in which radium and X-ray play a part is desirable. "In addition, obstetrics, so in- timately connected with the perpetu- ation of mankind, cries for attention, so the specialists say, and the chance here for a valuable contribution to the world is open." In closing Mr. Fairchild says: "One may choose from a wide and varied field. One may immortalize his name in various ways, but in no other field is the need so urgent and the opportunity so vast as in these." CHURCHES INVITED TO JOIN COMMERCE BODY First Congregational Church of Wil- mette First to Join Chicago Asso- ciation of Commerce One of the events .of the season for the young people of the Wilmette Presbyterian church took place last Friday evening, when the young peo- ple of high school age in the church were invited to a dinner furnished by the Women's society. For some time past the question of a suitable organization for the young people of high school age identified with the church, has been considered. After the dinner and social hour, the question of such an organization was enthusiastically discussed by those present and it was unanimously de- cided to organize at once, the regular Young People's Christian Endeavor society. Thirty-five persons became enrolled as members and the first regular meeting of the society was held last Sunday evening at 6 o'clock in the parlors of the church, at which hour the regular meetings are here- after to be held. Plans are already under way for special programs and social activities for the young people. The following persons were elected as officers and committee chairmen: President, Margaret Tawse; vice president, Eugene Blake; secretary, Edward Quayle; treasurer, Clarence Edinger. Committees Program, Harold Rice; Lookout, Ralph Edinger; Missionary, Eugene Blake; Junior, Helen Heckler; Social, Geneva Edinger and Dorothy Kuel- zow; Music, Eleanor Elliott. Music at the Presbyterian church for Sunday, October 31, includes se- lections by the quartet, "My- Soul Doth Magnify the Lord", Villiers; and a solo, "My God, My Father, While I Stray", Marsten; sung by Mr. Chester Lawrence, baritone. RETURNS TO SOUTH Mrs. John Niggel of South Caro- lina, who has been a guest of her daughter, Mrs. Paul Nanzig of Ridge avenue, for the past three months, is expected to leave for her home early next week. The churches of Chicago and sub- urbs are to take an active part in big business as a result of the invitation of the Chicago Association of Com- merce to join forces with this great central business organization. Early in the week at a meeting at the Union League club, attended by a large number of prominent pastors and executives of the Association of Commerce, it was decided to make an active campaign for churches as members of the association. The first church to respond to this invi- tation is the First Congregational church of Wilmette. There are over seven thousand business men actively banded tO' gether as members of the Associa- tion of Commerce and under the present plan hundreds of pastors of Chicago and suburban churches will be active agents for better business ethics by being the representatives of the churches in joint membership AMATEUR FOOTBALL Juveniles from Gross Point and Wilmette will meet Saturday after- noon in football at Sixteenth street and Central avenue.
