Noted New York ~ Ret·ined lor · ~ - - ·- of OilS MGDeJ" Seta ' .. I I North shore art critics are being treated this week and next to something unusual in the way of modern stage lighting and scene designing. In a setting characterized by restraint and clear-cut directness, Fred C. Rothermell, New York designer and artist, has given the North Shore Theater guild's final play, "Tons of Money," a distinguished touch of artistry. His color schemes and arrangement present a highly effective combination of a blue, blue-green and silver background, with furniture in vermillion, black and silver. · Mr. Rothermell has studied stage design under the famous Norman Bei-Gedder, and ·color and design under Rudolph Schaeffer. He began his work in San Francisco, later going to New York where his modern window backgrounds for Saks and company, on Fifth avenue, attracted wide attention. This spring Mr. Rothermell came to Chicago, where he was secured as modern art advisor for the Almco gall~ries. It is through the courtesy of the Almco galleries, supplying the furniture, drapes and lamps used in the present Theater guild production, that Mr. ~othermell was sent to the north shore to assist the guild's designers. Modena Decoratioa Thus it is th.at the guild has attempted to select the best and most repr:esentative examples fr:om the great flurry of modern art that has raged through the country. The setting of "Tons of Money" shows how the the spirit of the movement and is simply ·valentinistic.' The imitator of 't he l!'oclernists fails to be simple and practacal. · "The sooner the gingerbread is cut out, the sooner we will have begup to produce something that is consistent and in keeping with the purpose of the movement. Unessentials that do not express the symbol represented in the desit.m must be cast out." All the furniture and lamps to be ~een iri the guild production were designed and manufactured by the Almco galleries. Ia .Wilmet..
