'712 Church Street Evanston 554 Center Street, Winnetka Open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday Evenings Stage and Screen News and Reviews AMATEUR Community Drama Club There seems to be one new reason why the Theatre Guild chooses for its efforts those plays which have not been shown in this vicinity. It is the fact that no comparisons, odious or other- wise, can be made with professional performances. The suggestion is promoted by the fact that the Community Drama club this past week presented in Winnetka, "The Goose Hangs High," a play which has had both stage and screen show- ings here during the past season. Those who saw it in either form re- member it as the story of middle class life in which thoughtless and perhaps spoiled children rise to the occasion when father is threatened with finan- cial disaster. In its professional presentation it was full of glorious laughs and now and then an honest tear. Without specialists in the principal character parts it is well nigh impossible to carry all of these emotions across to the au- dience and it is questionable whether any amateur organization could do so successfully. In this, their first play of the season, the Community Players managed well. A good stage setting reflected con- siderable credit on those who planned and executed it. The players in the main were well chosen and with one or two exceptions gave concrete evidence that they knew what it was all about. Particularly effective was Mrs. Charles Karnopp who undertook to portray the mother. She understood the require- ments of the part and met them well. Mr. William Van Horne, a good type for the father, was also convincing. Donald Morrison made an intelligent, if old-looking son, and Mrs. James Deming was well liked as the daugh- ter, Lois. North Shore Theatre Guild Marked by the third act which would have done credit to any group of pro- fessional players, the North Shore Theater Guild opened its sixth season last week with "Autumn Fire," an Irish play written by T. C. Murray, a school teacher of Cork. New to Chicago, "Autumn Fire" is rat this time being presented in New York by a professional company. The play tells the story of an Irish widower with grown children who, young in spirit and strong of body, wooes and marries a girl younger than his own daughter. In many aspects it is not unlike "Desire Under the Elms," which ran in Chicago last season. One might almost describe it as a clean version of that rather sordid exhibition. Except in minor roles, the cast was one of the best all-around groups which Mr. Dean has gathered to- gether. Particularly good was Julia Hanks who seems to improve with each appearance. The requirements of her part were many and varied but she handled them like a veteran. Mr. J. Williams Macy and Richard Bentley gave her excellent support and it was the work of these three with consider- able assistance from Helen Sanford which made the third act so success- ful. The performance was a finished one in most respects, costumes and scenery excellent, and it looks as though the Guild was started on its most success- ful season. --Thespian. Dr. Frank D.
