The trappings and thrills of melodrama give way to the subtleties and gripping human interest of Ibsen at his .best. "Little Eyolf" is the sort of play which sends the audience home after the final curtain with a seed of thought that wil· sprout forth many times in succeeding days and provide food for much interesting discussion. It is the sort of play one remembers all his life and which personal experiences of succeeding years call back with poignant interest. Uaexcelled C..t It is fitting that in this one hundreth year after Ibsen's birth, his play should thus b~ presented to north shore audiences with a cast. which it is conservative to say has perhaps never been excelled in non-professional circles. The honors are shared by Guy Stuart Bailey and Mrs. William D. Sidley, both .well known to north shore audiences. · Mr. Bailey is making his first appearance with the guild after several years' absence. He will be remembered by old guild members as one of the founders of the organization, director and prime moving spirit. in its first efforts seven years ago, and a man who has in his time played many parts, and played them exceedingly well. He played the lead in the guild's first production of Edna Ferber's "Twelve Hundred A Year"; as Henry Higgins, the phon~tics expert in Shaw's inimitable "Pygmalion," he will be remembered especially favorably; and again ·in "Outward Bound" and "Enchanted Cottage." Mrs. William D. Sidley plays opposite Mr. Bailey. She is an accomplished technician, of wide experience. Her work in the American Legion play, "Lilac Time." brought her perhaps most pleasantly to the attention of north shore audiences. Her first lead with the guild is in the present play. Threaholder Haa Role Another newcomer with the guild in this play is :Mrs. Harry I. Miller of Glencoe. She is one of the leading spirits in the Threshold Players and was greatly appreciated in their recent production of "Smilin' Through." The guild audiences will be charmed with her work in "Little Eyolf." "Little Eyolf" opens at the School auditorium at Glencoe, March 6, then plays at Durand hall, Lake Forest, March 7: Highland Park Woman's club, March 8; Jane Kuppenheimer hall, Skokie school, Winnetka, March 9 and 10; Shawnee Country club, Wilmette, March 13; and the Woman's club, Evanston, March 14 and 15. Guild members will be glad to see Miss Helen Sanford, of Evanston with an important character role. Miss Sanford will be recalled for her outstanding work with the guild in "Outward Bound," "Autumn Fire," and . ··Enchanted April."
