John Allen Stewart · The North Shore Theatre Guild is announcing that "Lilies of the Fieldv will be the last play. which it will pro· duce under the technical direction of Richard Woellhaf. 'Mr. Woellhaf is leaving the north shore early in tht summer to take up new duties as in;structor in Denison university, Granville, Ohio, where his courses will in:clude scenic designing and construe· tion and play-producing. Theatre Guil~ audiences, remembering the old English Tavern in "The Man with a Load of Mischief," the cabin scene in "The Dummy," and the moonlit Grace church with its shining window and heavy doorway in "The Old Homestead," should be most. willing to endorse his qualifications for the work he has chosen. The duties of the technical director of the Guild are not light. A ·complete workshop is maintained at the Evanston studio, and there all scenery is designed, constructed and painted under his direction. Furniture and hand-properties must be assembled and the whole made ready for the circuit. Stage-hands must be made familiar with the play and the set, to facilitate the changes that must be made quickly, . and lighting effects planned and charted to insure uniformity. Few Guild members realize the work involved in moving a Theatre Guild into town, setting the stage for a performance and striking and packing the set ready to mov.e to the next stand. It is a job for a real showman- almost a circus-man -and the Theatre Guild calls him the Technical Director. Three-Act ComedJ "Lilies of the Field" is a three-act comedy. For it. two complete sets have been constructed in the Guild shops. The first act is placed in the drawing room of the Vicarage in an English village. It is a horny place, but without any particular period or motif in its furnishing. The rest of the play takes place in the ante-room to the boudoir of a popular young Londoner. The room is "done" in the early Victorian style, almost "overdone"; it has the air of a room loaned to an exhibition. The sets have been designed in strict adherence to the story, and furniture in accordance with the general scheme has been supplied by William H. Hoops and company of Chica(l:o. All this, plus lighting equipment, hand-properties and actor's luggage, will be carried from town to town for the eight performances of the play. Superintendent and Principals Mr.;. H. T.
