WILMETTE iLIFE March 1, 1929 Aak for Old Trappllll· for "Homestead" Revival In the late '80's "The Old Homestead" broke records in the leading. English and American cities. In mid- March it will be staged by the North Shore Theater guild· in Evanston and the north shore towns, providing a return to the times in the theater when plays partook of the simple, natural presentation of American rural life quite remote from the "'problem" play and the intellectual novelty of the stage of today. "The Old Homestead" has its plot woven around the story of the Prodigal Son-the adventure of the father seeking his wayward boy in the great City. Costumes of the days gone by are being hauled out of attics all along the north shore to outfit the cast, and properties of the period are being sought and ass em bled. A general appeal for these ·'relics" of the period between 1875 and 1900 has been issued. Those having them are asked to call the guild at University 4728. Mrs. I. K. Stover, 1044 Ashland avenue, returned recently from Wallingford, Conn. where she had been visiting her son, Henry, at the Choate s~hool, for about ten days.
