| January 8, 1927 WINNETKA TALK Stage and Screen News and Reviews "CRADLE SNATCHERS" Harris Theater After playing more than a year at the Music Box theater in New York, Sam H. Harris' amusing "Cradle Snatchers" has arrived at the Harris and settled down for a Chicago run. "Cradle Snatchers" is a very piquant salad for those who like to think that they are still in their salad days and it has some unusually stimulating salad dressing. The theme of this farce is that wives still continue to grow lonesome every time their husbands go %unting--es- pecially when they have have their suspicions as to what their husbands are hunting. In this case, a trio of wives, disgruntled because the hus- bands they love seem to have lost all | sense of romance and are seeking af- ter strange goddesses, decide to do some philandering themselves and adopt three boy friends from college. They hire these youths at a flat rate to inflame the jealousy of their husbands and bring them back. The husbands come back faster than expected, and the matrimonial situa- tion becomes badly scrambled. The authors have had the originality and good taste not to wind up their play with neat re-alignment of husbands and wives, but instead let the wives scamper off with their young affinities, with just a hint that later the cats will come back, but not until thev have walked the back fences a bit. It is a play that ripples with amusing dialect and some of it will be taken home and used by theater-goers in their winter conversation. Part of the allure of this comedy is due to the excellent cast, who act it up to the hilt yet never suggest that they are doing anything but hustle through an ordinary evening in the married life of prosperous New York- ers. Mary Boland is particularly artful as the rather designing matron of forty, coy and inviting, who always felt that she was Spanish emotioi ally, even though she didn't speak a word of the language. Edna May Olive is supremely comic as the wife who hesitatingly has an affair of the heart with a young, man who might be her son, and who in the bumptious, im- petuosity supplied by Raymond Guion is a delightful foil to her prim, old maidish respectability. --Thespian Elbridge Keith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Keith of 310 Warwick road, Ken- ilworth, left Sunday, January 2, to resume his studies at Princeton. George Scully Dies at Winnetka Home; New Trier Pioneer George Scully of 1050 Elm street, | Winnetka, one of the few remaining | pioneer residents of New Trier town- | ship, passed away quietly at his home, {at the age of 79 years, on December |28.
