North Slaare Theater GaUd Ja. Yitea Ptoepectiye Pia~. . to I T·ta Jaaaary · ·~Critic Don"t forget the date, january 30, if you are a north shore resident, and one of those who likes the stage as a hobby. For on that day, the North Shore Theater Guild is to conduct afternoon and evening meetings at the Winnetka Community House to com-. pile data on all available acting talent 10 this locality. This group, the north shore's own Little Theater enterprise, draws its personnel from all the communities between Lake Forest and Evanston, and its rearly programs for a large membershap are well known to drama lovers throughout the district. R_.. Witla Beet As most villagers know, .the North Shore Theater Guild formed seven years ago, for the purpose of staging amateur productions of the finest possible quality. It was thought that b1' choosing talent from the entire length and breadth of the north shore, some real worthwhile offerings could be presented, that would compare favorably with those of the professional stage. This expectation proved reasonable. From the first, Guild productions have been of a high order. Care in the selection of literary material, the employment of a permanent director, and the enthusiasm of its supporters have made the Guild a respected and solid institution. Hundreds of regular members hold season tickets and attend every performance. Dinctor SUYe7a Taleat This year, the guild has a new director, David Owen, who comes . here from the University of Michigan to succeed Alexander Dean. He is unfamiliar with those who are available for Guild productions, both those who have formerly acted and those who have not. As the most expedient way of getting the necessary information, Mr. Owen has decided upon a personal hearing of all applicants, and urges everyone interested to be present, on the day and at the place mentioned, at either 2 or 8 :30 o'clock. Each candidate will be asked to give a reading of two minutes' length, either memorized or not, as preferred. This should give a good idea of voice and interpretation. These meetings wilJ not be held for the purpose of casting any particular play, but rather for purposes of future reference. Ro1 · ¥.
