WILMETTE . 'LIFE May 18, 1928 . MUSIC FESTIVAL Chicago North Shore Festival Association Plan Association for Veterans in Marines All Marines, active, retired or honorably discharged, will be interested to learn that it is proposed to estahlish in Chicago a detachment of the Marine Corps league, of which Major General Commandant Lejeune is national commandant. This league has for it s object the cementing- of the ties which bind Marila~ s everywhere to ·the Corps of which they once were or are now active members, the renewal of old as'3 ociations, to preserve the tradition of the Corps, to aid unfortunate members, to perpet_ uate and honor the memories of those ·who died for our Country and to promote comradeship, goodwill a11.d hospitality among all Marines. It is non political, non sectarian, non partisan and in no sense a competitor or rival of any other veteran organizati on. The league appeals particularly to those Marines who are not cli~.dblc for other veteran organizations. ·The fir.~t "d-togt·thcr mt·eting for the purpo~c ~f efft·cting a perm~nent organization, will he held in Fratemity hall, 19 \V.

The · amusing one-act play, "As It Was in the Beginning," written· hv Mrs. ] ames B. Burrill of Wilmette, w~\s presented hy the "Barnstormers" for the !'Jorth Shore Art league's last 1 'n ecting Thursday evening, May 10, at Community House. Briefly the story is of a typical prt·historic cave family: the father, Pale,· O'Lith, brow-beaten and comfort loving, 'l)resumably a. parodical reproduction uf the modern father, as were the rest of the characters; the mother, Mrs. Paley O'Lith, a club loving, philanthropic female. "suppose·clly endowed with all the pcculiari t i e s attributed to the twentieth century woman; th~ young son, Fauna. mischievous and inventive, and his sis ter, Flora, a stone-age flapper, sought in marriage both by Ab Origine, a brutal and undeveloped ape-man, and her cousin, Nee O'Lith_ It seemed that Ab already had a wife, but simply throws her over the cliff because sht· bores him. Nee O'Lith becomes en gaged to Flora. There is a will left hy an anthropoid great grandfather to l>t:. read at the' betrothal of the daughtt:r oi the family. This will provides that unless she marries the strongest of men, the entire estate, including the cave, will revert to charity. Such a ca tastrop·h e is avoided by Nee shooting Au with his little how and arrow after much comedy. One of the creatures adding to the background is the Dodo bird, that calmly Charle ston=- thr ough this dramatic episode. Even in those pre-historic ravl' days one is led to believe that family pride, science, wills, estate;;, politics. ballots. dances, Daughters of the Evolution. feminism, strikes, and. women's clubs . were matters of common interest. The role of Paley O'Lith was professionally well done by Miner Coburn and ·Mrs. John Bennett Boddir assumed the part of Mrs. Paley O'Lith remarkably well. Flora was well acted by Kathryn Parish, although a trifle overdone. She presented a charming appearance, due solely to her own at tract ivenes . , a~ It: he. co-stumes were simply drapes of furs. Francis Lutz played the part of Fauna with as much cleverness as the part demanded. Tile.: part of Nee O'Lith; was taken bv Clarence Westerlund. Dr. \V. \\·· . Hawkins, taking the part of Ab, a very difficult role, proved himself to be to our mind, the cleverest actor. A1111 Boddie was the Dodo bird and \Villiam Hutchins supplied the off-stage music. The setting and costumes were remarkably good and the properties unusual. This task rested in the competent hands of Mrs. Boddie and Mrs. Burrill. In the entire, the play was amusing and entertaining, and was a decidedly "different" amateur performance.
