WILMETTE LIFEr FRIDAY, APRIL 1§ 1924 HERE AND THERE ON STAGE AND Reviews of the Week AMATEUR An audience that practically filled the Skokie school at Winnetka on April 9, showed considerable appreciation of the efforts of a number of ama teur actors who gave two short one-act plays under the auspices of the Parent-Teacher association. The first was a comedy called "Tickless Time" in which there was considerable discussion as to the relative merit of sun time ver sus the usua l alarm clock time. Mr. Robert Bryant and Hazel Hartwell had leading parts while Mabel Vogel and Mrs. John 1\larshall contributed a considerable share to the success of the play. Miss Vogel seemed particularly adapted to her particular part. The second play was Miss Alice Gcrstenberg's satire, "The Pot Boiler." The piece is extremely funny and what we heard of it was much enjoyed. The parts missed were those which the characters insisted in hurlin ;.: at a convulsed audience and were Jo,t in the general noise. Moral, wait for the laughs. Miss Douglass Whitehead, Mr. Harry Clarke and Claire Bernhard were particularly effective in this play. ~.sYon Clui.

This is what is technically known as an historical picture, full of the glamour of king'i palaces, armies of court attendants, and supurb scenes. The story, it will be remembered, has to do with Cardinal Richelieu , King Louis XIII, and the capture of a plotter who would overthrow the crown. There is much sword play, hair-breadth escapes, and a considerESTABLISHED 1854 able love story. One of the strong features is the work of Mr. Robert Mantell who plays the part of Cardinal Richelieu.
