oP February 6, 1926 WINNETKA TALK PLAY "THE DUENNA" Theatre Guild Players to Give Sheri- dan Operetta, Appearing in Various Towns of North Shore The North Shore Theatre guild's second production of the fifth season, "The Duenna," is to be distinguished by gorgeous scenery, picturesque costumes and superb music. This is a Spanish story written by Richard Brindsley Sheridan as an operetta and 'is characteristic of the period with the 18th century wit and manners contained in its libretto. It tells the story of two pairs of lovers who are forced apart by fond but mis- guided parents and provides for many situations, both dramatic and amusing, before the lovers are united with the customary parental blessings. When first produced in London at the Drury Lane theatre in 1775 the operetta enjoyed a record run of 75 nights. On this occasion it was pre- sented by Sheridan himself with his wife in the leading role. The music which the guild is using is the score which was used a year ago in the successful revival at Lyric theatre, Hammersmith. This was ar- ranged from the original score by Thomas Reynolds who also added several songs and the overtures to a number of operas by Handel. These are little known and thus, aside from their beauty, have an added interest for music lovers, it is explained. Isaac Van Grove, former conductor of the Chicago Civic opera, has been engaged by the guild to take charge of the music. He will conduct the Symphonic Octet of Chicago and, in addition, will have charge of training the soloists, duets and trios. The production will play in Wil- mette February 12; Highland Park, | tT Like Luncheon in Your Own Home OMEONE remarked that two good places to eat were at home and at the Cen- tral Cafeteria.
