As a prologue for 'Ufhe Cat and t·he Canary," Burton H. Atwood Jr., director of Community House movies, bas arranged a brief stage ·skellcb of fitting ·atmos~eric nature. P. G. Wodebouse wrote "The Small Bachelor," which, as a short story, was carried in the Liberty magazine. Barbara Kent and Andre Beranger are the. featured . actor,s:· 1..Dazzling Ca. eds" ·of the Collegian series will also be shown. _ 'Ufbe Cat and the Canary" is one of the best mystery dramas shown in recent years. It is an adaptation from the recent stage success by the same name and is just as convincing and entertaining as was its predecessor. Laura La Plante and Creighton Hale are co-starred. · .or-· Extended Cofnment With a limited amount of space at my disposal, it is always difficult to give the individual members of the Evanston Players the credit that is due . them. The current production, "Wedding Bells," affords an opP.Ortunity to comment at greater length on the work of two of those who have been giving Margaret Fuller and Charles George such excellent support during the present engagement of the Players. Because she has always played minor character parts in the offerings of the company, Ann Dere has not been featured in reviews of the various New Evanston shows. Miss Dere bas consistently done ·remarkable work and the necessitous elimination of much comment on it is as much regretted by the reviewer as by anybody. In "Wedding Bells" she takes the ·part of Mrs. Hunter, mother of Marcia Hunter-Rita Zane-and again proves her great ability as an actress. She is ·the most versatile of all the members of the cast and is the one who most f.uUy lives her part the whole time she is on the stage. Whether she plays a slatternly Mexican cook or a female high bat she is what she plap and she convinces her audience that she is. , Her stage presence is always pleasing, her voice ill good, her lines carry to everyone in the audience. It is to be hoped that Evanston playgoers will soon b~ve the opportunity of seeing her in a leading role. Richard Ward, one of the latest ad:ditions to the company is one of its mainstays. He is a better all around actor than Charles George because be acts less and bas considerably more assurance. As yet be. bas not bad an opportunity to demonstrate any great ..

Ward is rapidly accumulating this following and merits a column of special praise. These two do by far the best work · in the current show, a comedy that gets funnier as it develops, ending in a rapid fire laugh act. Miss Fuller and Charles George play the leads, Rosalie and Reginald Carter, whose romance, which ended in marriage and later divorce, ·began when Rosalie's dog chewed up Reginald's shoe. (The dog appears on the scene in the last act and a rather rustic audience was child~ ishly amused by whistling at the beast on the openine night.) Three couples are tangled up in the skein of the plot and who is going tc) marry who, who bas married who and who's who furnishes no little su~ense. Other members of the cast are George Pembroke, Lew Welsh, Maynard Brooks and Beatrice Leiblee. . C. V: K... GLENCOE MOVIES ,.,. 10 The exduiYe ue of the Ballroom may bt bad FREE of cbarae for Putill.
