Mrs. Samuel lnsull Is Lead in "Runaway Road" The Repertoire Theatre company " ·ill present Mrs. Salllucl In sult and her company in a nc\\' A111crican comedy, "The Runa\\'ay Road," hy Gretrhen 1 Damrosch Finletter, at the Studebaker theatre, Chicago, for an indefinite engagement beginning Monday night. November 1. Back of this plain an- ! nounccment is something of more than pa _sing interest to theatre-goers of this vicinitv. It will be recalled that a year or so ago, Mrs. Insult. former!~·~ so favorably known on the professional I stage a - Gladys \Valli . appeared both in Chicago and in :t\ew York in a revival f "The SC'hool for Scandal." Her success on her nturn to the stage was quite out of the ordinar~·-not alone in Chicaao but in N'ew York as well, where sl~e appeared in the play ninety-five performances. establishing a record run for the Sheridan masterpiece. This outstanding achievement has had a significant result. The Renertoire Theatre company, an Tllinois corporation, hac;. as it is well known, taken over the Studebaker theatre for a term of years. Here. during a portion of each seas-on, Mrs. lnull and the best company players obtainable, will appear in new plays chiefly by American ~uthors, and occasional !e-, vivals of standard plays and classtcs. It is not in anv seme a "hhrh-brow" movement, nor an effort to "uplift the drama." It is just meant to give that section of the public, who still love the spoken drama, the best that can be obtained, so far as seasoned professional jud~ment goes, in plays and players, it is explained. 1 I Directory of Churches: The Wilmette Baptist Churdt Forest and Wilmette Avenues The Fll'st Presbyterian Church Ninth Screet and Greenleaf Avenue Rev.
