WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1921 Grae ® HOSE who have inadvertently chanced to look at the stage iy through the "wrong" end of their opera glasses while at il the theater will doubtless recall the astonishing illusion they lo experienced of seeing the actors suddenly, as if by magic, re- duced to the size of mere dolls. This fascinating illusion is intensified when witnessing a performance of Tony Sarg's Marionettes which are to be brought to the north shore on Wednesday afternoon and evening, November 2, and shown at the Winnetka Woman's club. Here is the oldest plaything in the world, the acting doll, doing the things that humans spend their energies attempting to do on the stage, and doing them so much more delicately and whimsically that their work is like a delicious faraway satire of the work of the regular player. Tony Sarg, an illustrator and cartoonist of international reputa- tion, is enjoying the distinction of having revived the ancient art of puppet play in our country. At first the little wooden headed dolls were designed for his own amusement but later the interest grew and now the tiny actors have wound their heart strings around the pub- lic's affections and made their creator famous from coast to coast. From the moment that the curtains part-and reveal the diminutive stage, the spectator is carried away by the illusion that the puppets are living | people. Not only do Mr. Sarg's pup- pets -use their arms, hands and feet in | walking, dancing or making love with ease and grace but some of them, Nick Bedder, in Rip Van Winkle, for in- | stance, wink at pretty maids and move their lips to the speech of the con- cealed reader. From the wings the performance is even more interesting and wonderful. The marionette stage which Mr. Sarg has developed is a surprisingly com- plicated thing. Eight highly trained puppeteers are necessary to give any one performance. These puppeteers, stationed on bridges above the little stage, manipulate the figures, speak the lines, change the lightning equip- ment and provide the music on a variety of specially designed instru- ments. The repertory includes three sep- arate and distinct programs. "Rip Van Winkle", "The Rose and the Ring", and "Olla Podrida". Mrs. Maurice H. Lieber of Winnet- ka, was recently appointed by the The Executive Board of the New | America Shop will meet Monday, Oct- | ober 17, at 1:30 p. m., room 931, Fine | Arts building, Chicago.
