WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1923 SS PUPPET TO BE SEEN JANUARY 24 North Shore to View "Don Quixote" Performance Winnetka and Kenilworth residents are expected to attend in numbers the performances of Tony Sarg's Marion- ettes in the presentation of "Don Quix- ete." at the Winnetka Skokie School Wednesday, January 24. The showing of the puppets on the north shore will follow performances at the Play- house, Chicago, under direction of Rachel Busey Kinsolving. The per- formances at the Skokie School will be at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and at §:15 o'clock in the evening. Mr. Sarg's puppets, developed from the miniature Italian street shows of the middle ages, have attracted wide attention among leading artists and dramatists in New York and in other parts of the country during the past few years. Each puppet is worked by a set of strings manipulated by a trained puppeteer who also speaks the character's lines. The stage set- tings are reduced to a scalé with the two-foot dummies, so that a few mo- ments after the curtain rises they appear to be of normal size. The mechanism of the puppets is so complete that in one of "Don Quix- ote's" most amusing scenes a singer's breast rises and falls as she warbles a Spanish love song to the accompani- ment of a guitar played by her caval- ier. Rosinante, Don Quixote's erratic rawbone nag, is especially adapted to accurate representation in miniature, and the battle between two mounted knights with lances drawn is one of the outstanding scenes of the play. Tiny lambs dancing in Don Quixote's vision of knighthood, and the exhibit of a miniature marionette show with- in the show also won favorable com- i ment from critics in the east upon its various presentations there. Mr. Sarg, who is well known as a cartoonist and illustrator, has devoted several years to the manufacture of his marionettes, their stage presenta- tion and the training of men and woman in his school for puppeteers in New York city. Several of the little figures used in "Don Quixote" are relics of the mediaeval street shows in Italy, brought to this country a number of years ago and rescued by Mr. Sarg from the New York customs house where they had been held for non-payment of duty.
