NEWELL & '0. 'St. Presented by the North Shore Theater Guild This is the Pulitzer prize play of 1923 about which reams have been written. This is the first time it has been presented by amateur talent. As a moving picture it was recently· reviewed. 1 consider it a privilege to have seen this entertainment. Not that it was per~ct in all departments; but much of the~ork was of such an excellent nature that it overshadowed any discrepancies that might have been apparent. The story, it will be remembered, is not of the Frozen North, but rather concerns a family of chilly people. Into their midst is injected a "black sheep" ~ on whose nature revolts against the characteristics of the rest of his famIly. Also a young woman who for some years has aCted as a general "family helper." In the moving picture Ben, the erring ~on , was portrayed as rather a lovable character) while in the Theater Guild productiop Mr. J. Lincoln Gibson made the char<lfter show more of its shiftless and irresponsible nature. As might be l'xpected the various members of this 1faine filritily presented opportunity for -nme very 'excellent character work. Mr. \ "a n Horne; as the elder brother showed a distinct improvement over anything he has heretofore attempted. Mrs. Henry Tenney, with peculiar voice and make up, was delightful and her exclamation, "O rin, leave the room," was perhaps the most delicious line in the play. Mrs. \\'illiams deserves special mention for having made a great deal out of the part of the young woman. "Icebound," as presented, had a rather good cast, fine direction and many humorous situations. If it lacked anything, it was a degree of "punch" at certain stages. I do not consider it as finished a performance as "Mary III," but in spite of my opinion I have no doubt those who voted at the various performances as to the Guild's most pleasant performance of the year, will give it first place, just as those who voted last year preferred "Bladys" to "Pygmalion" and "1200 a Year" to "Come Seven." The performance of "Icebound" coneluded the efforts of the Theater Guild for the year and as one who has seen all of the productions since the Guild star&ed I want to call attention to the remarkable work that this splendid organiza· · d · 1 th h h If taon Js omg a ong e nort s ore. it was fully realized the Guild would haveafTeasCd'oubfe Its present membership. second amateur entertainment of the week which was enthusiastically received was that given and enjoyed by some sixty members of the Winnetka Reserve Militia association at their fifth annual re-union. Sherman Aldrich with his group of wooden soldiers, Alfred Freeman and his minstrels and Charlie Eastman in a female impersonation were great. "TRIUMPH" A Paramount Production Cecil B. DeMille directed this picture and he did an excellent bit of work. The story is all about a tin can factory and two sons of the owner who are in love with the same girl, a forewoman in the place. Each has his ups and downs, his turns to try his best to win her hand, with the right one finally winning on the last turn of the fortune wheel. It took a good deal of imagination to write "Triupmh" and May Edington, who wrote it, is entitled to much credit. It is so different from the cut and dried films which have been foisted on an qnsuspecting . public the past 'few years that it immediately attracts attention. Add to this the fact that the cast contains such excellent players as Leatrice Joy, Rod LaRocque, Robert Edeson, Geo. Fawcett and Victor Varconi and it is not difficult to see why McVickers held it over for a second week. ADELPHI N. W ...L. Statioa at Howa...l TODAY AND FRIDAY 7174 N...tt.
