I ro WINNETKA TALK January 8, 1927 North Shore Society Relaxes After Gay Holiday Season Sarg Marionettes Coming to Present Story of Ali Baba By JEAN TEN BROECK Tony Sarg's Marionettes have en- thralled north shore children, and have won a place in the hearts of their mothers, older sisters, aunts, cousins and friends. At this time when socie- ty has sighed a deep sigh after strenu- ous holidays, and older boys and girls are wearily embarking on special trains to whisk them back to things academic and to approaching and dreaded "mid- years," the announcement of the com- ing of marionettes for north shore performances strikes a note somewhat different. At the Evanston Woman's club Fri- day afternoon and evening, January 21, at 4 and 8, and at Skokie school, Win- netka, Wednesday afternoon and eve- ning, at 4 and 7:30 o'clock, Rachel Busey Kinsolving will present Tony Sarg's Marionettes in "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves." Information concerning this produc- tion discloses that "Tony Sarg has surpassed himself in his new produc- tion. He has created the most villain- ous set of robbers seen on any stage, and an extensive menagerie of don- keys, camels, elephants, sheep, all of which play an important part in the production. The Geni and the Fisher- man, Sinbad the Sailor, the Magic Carpet, and all the characters and their deeds recorded in the Arabian Nights are faithfully reproduced in all reality, vet retain the phantasy that is a neces- sary part of them."
