WILMETTE LIFE April 29, 1927 VA.RSITY "Pride of tht North Shorr" FRIDAY 8 SATURDAY uThe Kid Brother" "The Alarm Clock" to Be Next Mintum Production "The Alarm Clock," a new play produced · earlier in the se~son in New York by Charles Frohman, Inc. has been selected for next week's p1esentation by the Minturn Players at the New Evanston Theater. Avery Hopv·ood, one of our best known authors, is the author of "The Alarm Clock," and it is generally credited with being one of the best comedies that he has written. The plot has to do with a rich young bachelor , ..-ho had developer! rheumatism in one foot. The wife of a Senator who is more conce.r ned in the young man's welfare than she p1 obably should be, induces her physician to diagnose the case as one of gout, due to dissipation and high living. She goes a step farther by inviting the young man's country relatives to come to New York and take care of him. These relatives, consist· ing of a sister, nephew and the latter's fiancee, are quick to learn the ways of New York's night life, and are soon setting a faster pace than the young man whom they are supposed to be guarding. The author has contrived to invest a rapid succession of excruciatingly funny situations, which serve to keep the audience in a high spirit of glee fo.r two hours. In New York the lead· ing parts were played by Blanche Ring, Marion Coakley, Bruce McRae, Vincent Serrano and other well known favorites. The various roles will be capably played by the members of the local company, and one of the mo5t entertaining weeks oi the season !s confidently expected.
