"Dazzling Stage Co-eds" Prologue "The Small Bachelor" at Community House Tuesday The Community House curtain rises next week on "The Small Bachelor" on Tuesday and "The Cat and the Canary" on Friday. As a prologue for "The Cat and the Canary," Burton H. Atwood Jr., director of Community House movies, has arranged a brief stage sketch of fitting 'atmospheric nature. > P. G. Wodehouse wrote "The Small Bachelor," which, as a short story, was carried in the Liberty magazine. Bar- bara Kent and Andre Beranger are the featured actors: "Dazzling Co- eds" of the Collegian series will also be shown. "The Cat and the Canary" is one of the best mystery dramas shown -in recent years. It is an adaptation from the recent stage success by the same name and is just as convincing and entertaining as was its predecessor. Laura La Plante and Creighton Hale are co-starred. Give Lecture-Recitals on Gilbert and Sullivan A series of lecture-recitals on "The Mirth and Melody of Gilbert and Sullivan," is entertaining a number of Chicago audiences during February, presented by Abram Mendenhall and his daughter, Miss Helen. Opening the program, the former briefly sketches the lives of the three great Savoyards, William §S. Gilbert, Arthur S. Sullivan and Richard D'Oyly Carte, followed by a discussion of the motif of every opera they pro- duced from "Thespis" to "The Grand Duke." The lecture is illustrated by musical numbers, Mr. Mendenhall singing the comedy songs from "Pinafore," "The Mikado" and other operas, and Miss Mendenhall singing the soprano songs, with Miss Lois Magoffin at the piano.

The current production, "Wed- ding Bells," affords an opportunity to comment at greater length on the work of two of those who have been giv- ing Margaret Fuller and Charles George such excellent support during the present engagement of the Players. Because she has always played minor character parts in the offerings of the company, Ann Dere has not been fea- tured in reviews of the various New Evanston shows. Miss Dere has con- sistently done remarkable work and the necessitous elimination of much comment on it is as much regretted by the reviewer as by anybody. In "Wedding Bells" she takes the part of Mrs. Hunter, mother of Mar- cia Hunter--Rita Zane--and again proves her great ability as an actress. She is the most versatile of all the members of the cast and is the one who most fully lives her part the whole time she is on the stage. Whether she plays a slatternly Mexican cook or a female high hat she is what she plays and she convinces her audience that she is. Her stage presence is always pleas- ing, her voice is good, her lines carry to everyone in the audience. It is to be hoped that Evanston playgoers will soon have the opportunity of seeing her in a leading role. Richard Ward, one of the latest ad- ditions to the company, is one of its mainstays. He is a better all around actor than Charles George because he acts less and has considerably more assurance. As yet he has not had an opportunity to demonstrate any great versatility but in the parts allotted to hita he has made good and more than good. Perhaps he is one of those ac- tors whose parts must be chosen with the greatest care but who, when they are properly cast, quickly earn the plaudits of their audiences and build up an enthusiastic following. Ward is rapidly accumulating this following and merits a column of special praise. These two do by far the best work in the current show, a comedy that gets funnier as it develops, ending in a rapid fire laugh act. Miss Fuller and Charles George play the leads, Rosalie and Reginald Carter, whose romance, which ended in marriage and later divorce, began when Rosalie's dog chewed up Reginald's shoe. (The dog appears on the scene in the last act and a rather rustic audience was child- ishly amused by whistling at the beast on the opening night.) Three couples are tangled up in the skein of the plot and who is going to marry who, who has married who and who's who furnishes no little suspense. Other members of the cast are George Pembroke, Lew Welsh, Maynard Brooks and Beatrice Leiblee. GLENCOE MOVIES "Spring Fever" with William Haines will be shown at the Glencoe Union church next Friday afternoon.
