2 WILMETTE BOOK.PLAYERS Surprisingly Large Sale of Tickets Makes Additional Night Necessary Ice Artiata to ~play Form at Kenilworth Meet FOR 3 NIGHTS· FIRST SHOW TONIGHT "13th Chair" Promises to Score Big Succeaa Tickets for th e Wilmette Police Pension fund play went so rapidly thi s week that the Wilmett e [mprovcm<'nt association found i necess ary to book the North Shore Players for an additional performan ce of "The 13th Chair." Original bookings were for Friday and Saturday night s of this week, but the committee of the Improvement association realized early in the week that two performances would not be sufficient to accomodate the large audience ~ indicated in the sale of tickets and it was decided to secure another performance for Monday night, January 28. There was a possibility that even a fourth ,pp.Mrmance would be necessary. If so, it will probably be given on Tuesday evening of next week. Crowded HouMa Aaaurecl All details have been arranged for the first appearance of the Players this evening at the Byron C. Stolp auditorium and a crowded house is assured. Flushed with the success of their appearances in the Midway Masonic temple at Chicago, the Players are prepared to give Wilmette residents what is expected to be the finest performance ever witnessed on a local stage. Interest in the play is widespread in the village, particularly in view of the fact that most of the members oJ the cast are north shore young people who are contributing their time and talents to dramatics without financial consideration, so that every cent realized from the sale of tickets will be directed into the Police Pension fund after ,production expenses arc defrayed. The Wilmette Improvement association is receiving congratulations at every hand because of its display of civi~. interest in affordjng th_ c ~m muntty an opportumty to contnbute to the Police Pension fund . Skater s who can speed, endure lon gte sts or cut a figure eight on the ice will have a chance to show their form a t an ice derby to be held at K eni lworth the last part of this month . Bob Townley, physical director at th '! Joseph Sears school, is making arrangement s for the tournament. which he says will be open to all Kemlworth skaters. ' There will be contests in fancy skating, dashes, miles and half-mifes. with a tug-of-war or two for enter tainment. Special classes will be ar ranged for the smaller boys an? girl s. It is expected that the Kemlworth busin ess men will donate 1 prizes for the variou s events. I cc on the pool just north of the school building where the derby will tak e place is in excellent condition and scores of s katers have taken advantage of it during the recent cold weather, especially the school . children ~T1o skate during recess penods. The rmk was formerly a tennis court but it has been sunken from six in ches to a foot , making the ice firm and entirely safe. Although it is but about 200 feet long the rink accommodates many skaters and can be used for distance skating by circling around it. ~l's ~~ll when your valuables are locked up in one of our safety deposit boxes, but all's .likely to be very tnuch wrong son1e fine morning if they're lying around the house son1ewhere.
