Art T heatre Plays Will Attract Large Audience August 17 North shore people who are spend- ing the month of August at home and who are looking for something differ- ent, and satisfvingly so, to entertain them will find it in the three one-act plays of the Chicago Art theatre, which are being presented every other Wednesday evening during the month at the Moraine Hotel theater in High- land Park. The three plays, which are "Riders to the Sea," by John M. Synge, "The Dear Departed," by Stanley Houghton, and "Jubilee," by Anton Chekhov, will be presented for the second time next Wednesday eve- ning, August 17. The Moraine Hotel theater, which is a rather informal affair, extends back from the hotel proper toward a deep ravine and the beach. A wide porch extends along the lake side of the room, so that the theater is cool on the very warmest nights. The en- tire atmosphere, both of the plays and of their setting, is so different from the usual one as to be extremely refreshing. The most noticeable fact about the presentation and arrangement of the three plavs themselves is the unusual emotional effect which thev have on the audience. The first, "Riders to the Sea," is a deep tracedy showing the reactions of the Trish coast people toward the sea. The old Trish mother, mourning over the body of Bartley, the last of her many sons to fall vie- tim of the sea, leaves the members of the audience trying to swallow over svmpathetic lumps in their throats as the curtain goes down. The setting is bare and the costumes are plain, but the acting is intense and effective. The audience is looking forward to a comedy when the curtain rises on "The Dear Departed." but it sees im- mediately that death and mourning are still with them. The comedv is soon apparent, however, in the redicu- lous costumes and actions of the play- ers, and in the fact that grandfather himself, about whom all the mourning and quarreling over property are being done bv "fond" relatives, annears. He had not died: he was just taking a nap, and he immediately announces that he plans to make a new will effective by-- marrying! The third play, "Tubilee." attempts little at character portraval and more in the way of purely ridiculous situa- tions and conversations. Tts only ob- jective is a casual portrayal of the humorous side of Russian banking. The Chicago Art theatre is directed by Ivan Lazareff, and the company members are Aecnes George, Emily Hamill, Arthur Klein, Shirlev Linder, Elsa Moses, Charles McReynolds, Tohn Marsh, Margot Stanton, and Lola Volkoff. The theater states as its present purpose "a program of summer playing to acquaint a larger audience with the ideals of the Thea- tre and its thoroughly orieinal Ameri- can interpretation of the Moscow Art Theatre method." The patrons of the theater for the 1927 summer season are Graham Aldis of Chicaeo, Laird Bell of Winnetka, Tiffany Blake of Lake Forest, Augus- tus A. Carpenter of Lake Forest, Percy B. Eckhart of Kenilworth, Charles Hamill and William Stanton Monroe of Chicago, and James Porter of Hubbard Woods.
