The Chicago Art Theatre company I A day replete with varied appeal is offered to members of the Woman's club of Wilmette on Wednesday, October 24, commencing with the morning session at 10:30 o'clock, and continuing through the afternoon, with tun. cheon served at 1 o'clocK. The program wilt open in the mornJtlg with a talk on 'The Value and Crades of Canned Goods," given hy Miss J. Bartle under the auspices .of the Western Canned Goods assocta ~ tion. Miss Bartle will make known to her hearers much about canned goods. She with tell them how to purchase them. In addition she will demonstrate and open all of the new kinds of canned foodstuffs on the market. Members will then be switched from their household interest to one in drama, for at 12 o'clock Martha Linn of 214 Fifth street, WHT announcer, will talk on "What to Look For in a Play." Mrs. Linn has been interested in drama and early in the fall of 1927 ·introduced a novelty in radio programs when as the "daytime voice of WHT'" she started her Woman's Exchang~ of Ideas, a men.tal . shop in which she exchanged wtth her audience epigrams, bits of verse, and helpful hints sent to her by members of her daytime audience who were, for the most pan, hou.;ewives. For the afternoon program at the club Wednesday, the Chicago Art theatre company, under the direction of han Lazereff, will present two short plays, "Ropes," by Wilbur Daniel Steele, and "The Flattering Word," b,· George Kelly. ~ I van Lazereff, who was for twenty years an artist of the renowned Moscow Art theatre, brings this idea to Chicago; "Theatre is the life of the human spirit on the stage; not the clever imitation of this life, but the actual living itself, upon the stag~. In addition to the plays, The Swtgart trio, George Swigart, violinist; Estelle Swigart, 'cellist; Frances An'derson, pianist, will entertain the members. The appearance of these young artists has particular interest as they are 'residents of \Vilmette and Winnetka and recent graduates of New Trier High school.
