s March 25, 1927 WILMETTE VILLAGE THEATER LIFE 45 Enthusiastic Audience . Greets "The First Year" By HUB '.'The First Year," presented by the M!nturn player~ at the New Evanston th1s week, warrants in very way the high favor that has been accorded it by the theater-going public. It ·ran for over two years in 'New York wh~rc it was fi.rst introduced, and achteved a corresponding success in Chicago. It opened at the New Evanston, , Mon~ay night, before a full house. . The story of the play deals with the first year of married life; its troubles and tragedies, its sunshine and shadows-most of them comic as reviewed !n after life. As Dr. Anderson said m the play itself, "They're · sort of mat,rimonial measles, everybody has them and it's better to have them young. You get over them quicker and they seldom prove- fatal." The characters are a veragc American people, playing the scenes from actual life, both in action and in "lines." You know, every time I review a play presented by the ~{in turn company, a statement by an old colored man comes to my mind. It v\'as· about the time automobiles were first sho\\'ing up in the south and as I was watching- one puff hy the old da.r ky came up to me. Said he "Mista Hub ain't that suah enuf de quality?" Th~ ~finturn players arc "suah enuf de quality." Take 1Iargerv Williams for instance, one could ha~dly live a 'part more comnletely than she (lid the part of the wife.
