Eliot's exciting new comedy hit, "The Cocktail Party," which ran tor a sold-out year on Broadway, comes to the Erlanger theatre, Chicago, for a four w e e k s' engagement beginning Monday night, Jan. 28. Matinees will be given on Wednesday and Saturday. Starring Dennis King, Es telle Win wood and Julie Haydon. a::d featuring Reginald Denny. Harry Ellerbe, Viola Keats and Tom Rosqui, "The Cocktail Party" is being presented in this National company by Lewis and Voung. When this sophisticated comedy opened dn Broadway no one expected it to run" more, than six weeks, but it was hailed a masterpiece by the critics and surprised the. skeptics and its producer by running a year. "The Cocktail Party" was first produced at the Edinburgh Festival, with a cast headed by Alec Guinness. This production is the one which played New York, while another, headed by Rex Harrison, was formed for London. It was an immediate hit in both countries and became one of the most controversial plays in modern times. This is not the first time American- born T. S. Eliot, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948, has started a controversy. Back in 1922 he wrote "The Waste Land," which j is considered tbe most influential poem of the 20th century. Its sharp, unsentimental lyricism made Eliot the spokesman of the lost generation. But "The Cocktail Party" Is net- so moch j|»-- j pu^zlinc; play as a witty comedy, ! which accounts for its sensationfe! success and popularity. ~ A T I „r„ ^ ^ SKILLED HANDS GUAR|» ® ... ^ YOUR HEALTH ;; Sp Skilled hands guard your health at our drug sftore.
