~ WILMETTE QJILD:COMEDY --~-NOTABLE PIECE ..Echanted Cottage" is Popular Venture 87 PLAYGOER "The 'Enchanted Cottage," a comedy and fantasy by Pinero, bids fair to take a place among the most popular productions of the North Shore Theater Guild. There is comedy, pathos, and an idea f \"Cill ' o'clock T11 11 Patt i-ut conduct ber I I. a tPi t~ plan11t't 1 in!! til~ Eskim l for of Thur the th(· ca~" .A On thi Guy Stuart Bailey worth taking home ; there is a well -designed and elaborate set ; an experienced cast ; a novelty in the second act- a pantomine which is quite different from anything yet attempted. The whole in the hand s of a skillful professional director. )..frs. \Vitt iam Ogden Coleman. who se training wc11 qualifies her in this respect , has charge of the action and dancing in the pantomine.

These soloists are a ss isted hy JO others in making the pantomine an artistic feature. The music for the feature was written by Mrs. Henry Sulcer of Chicago, and is in charge of Mrs. William D. McAdams of Winnetka, assisted by a violinist and 'cellist. Residents of the north shore towns are especially favored this season in having the best in music brought to their very doors. This would be manifestly impossible in regard to the professional theater. The North Shore Theater Guild aims, however, to set the highest standard of dramatic art poss;bte in amateur productions, and to satisfy a public eager to see and hear the best. Alexander Dean of the School of Speech of Northwestern university, will have charge of all the productions of the year, which alone predic._, . a IIUCcessful season. The· oY'iginal group of l)layers who have acted in the past three seasons will be called upon throughout the year, augmented constantly by new talent. It is an advantage in many ways to have membership tickets. These may still be obtain"<! at the doors at any of the performances, or from Mrs. J. C. ;· West, Gordon ' terrace, Winnetka.
