September 3, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 53 Garrick to Open With "American Tragedy" Sept. 4 "An American Tragedy," Theodore Dreiser's celebrated novel of an im- pressionable young weakling who blunders through life, finding romance with a factory girl whom he drowns in the dark, in a little lake, has been successfully dramatized. It is to be seen at the Garrick theater, Chicago, for five weeks only, starting Sunday night, September 4. When this play opened last October at the Longacre theater, New York, the critics universally praised the stage version of the powerful and terrific Dreiser story. "The outstanding seri- ous play of the season," said Burns Mantle of the N. Y. News and the Times reviewer wrote, "the most out- spoken enthusiasm of the season swept the play on to triumph." Later another company presented the melodrama in Los Angeles where newspaper writers again praised the dramatic masterpiece. The Los An- yeles Express devoted eight column black streamers to the premiere on the west coast. It is the Manhattan company that takes the stage at the Garrick. Mor- gan Farley has the role of Clyde Grif- fiths, the son of street corner evan- gelists, and Ruth Nugent, of the famed Nugent family of actors, portrays Ro- berta, the factory girl. Helen Twelve- trees is assigned as Sondra. Patrick Kearney dramatized the work, and Horace Liveright is the producer. Twelve massive settings are used to depict the story with every detail exactly the same as witnessed during the long and successful run in New York. A popular priced matinee is an- nounced for Wednesday with the regu- lar matinee on Saturday. Word from the Liveright office is to the effect that mail orders will be given choice loca- tions. A tour of the country is to follow the Chicago visit. Prominent Physician Taken by Death at Winnetka Home Dr. Henry Green Wildman, of 648 Cherry street, for 27 years a resident of Winnetka, died Friday, August 26, at the Evanston hospital. Death fol- lowed an operation for ulcers of the stomach, for which Dr. Wildman had had another operation five years ago. At the time of his death, Dr. Wildmen was 68 years old. For the past three years, Dr. Wild- man, who was a specialist in tubercu- losis, had been employed by the state of West Virginia to conduct clinics throughout the state. Other physicians brought their cases to these clinics Previous to this, Dr. Wildman was for twelve years head physician for the tuberculosis sanitarium at Oak For- est. He was a graduate of Columbia Medical college, New York, and fol- lowing his graduation was junior physician at Bellevue hospital. He then came to Chicago, where he spe- cialized in ear, nose, and throat work. Dr. Wildman was survived by his wife, Jennie May Young Wildman, a daughter, Mrs. John Dods of 648 Cherry street, Winnetka, and two sons, Harry Y. Wildman of Minneapo- lis, and William Y. Wildman of Oak Park. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2:30 at Rosehill chapel and were conducted by the Rev. James Austin Richards of the Winnetka Congregational church. Burial was also at Rosehill.
