Goodell, president of the Mothers club, presented Mrs. 'Awake and Sing" To . Open At The Selwyn* Monday Evening, May 4 Most people are legitimately concerned when a theatrical production from New York ventures on the road, lest they be plagued with a. company who have (been aisked at the last minute to substitute for'tho players of the original run. With the Group Theatre t^iis, fortunately, is an impossible situation, because any performer in a production by this organization is a permanent member thereof and the process of substitution simply doe3 not exist. Therefore, when "Awake and Sing" opens at the Selwyn Theatre in Chicago on Monday evening. May 4, th^same nine people who caused such a commentator as! Robert Garland, of the New York World-Telegram, to Call the drama "the best play of 1935" will be on display.

Since "Awake and (Sing" is a tempestuous comedy-drama which is much more difficult to perform than the simple story of "Waiting for Lefty", the permanent company of the Group Theatre saw fit to enter upon their, first nation-wide tour with this play, which Walter Winchell described in the Mirror as "powerful wnH entertainment". The domestic squabbles and joshing and tragedy which make vp the story of "Awake and Sing" are true of families all over America. From the old grandfather with his victrola records to the young girl and her concealed love affair^ everyone is able to identify himself with one of the characters.
