March 1, 1929 WILMETTE LIFE 33 N. T. Dramatic Club Invites Public to Play This Saturday By K. K. The next play to be offered by the New Trier High school Dramatic club will be presented Saturday, March 2. This Junior P lay, as it is · called, because the larger part of the cast 1s composed of members of that class, will . be a dramatization of William Dean Howell's "The Rise of Silas Lapham." This first really great American novel is the story of a New England paint magnate and his wife and daughters. Lapham loans $20,000 to Milton Rogers, his former partner. Rogers, an unscrupulous fellow, gives Lapham poor securities for the money. Later when fortune turns and he is almost penniless, Lapham is offered a partnership in a \Vest Virginia paint company which ha just found a superior grade of paint on its lands. If the securities had hcen good. he could have bought the partnership, hut wa s forced to let the opportunity pas s. At this point. Rog-ers returns fr om England " ·ith a sharly propos it :ot' which would net Lapham S\60,000. Lapham's social aspiration s and hi s daughters' happiness will he assured if he accepts. If you wish to find what next happens to the Lapham family, the Dramatic club invites you to come to the New Trier auditorium this SaturdaY night and see for yourself. · Although the presentation of the characters is the same as in the book. the plot of the play differs from it enough so that those who have read the novel wi11 enjoy the play, as much as will the uninitiated.
