HIS LAST PLAY .HERE Cailcl'a· Teehaical Director to l.ea·e After "Liliea of the Field" By John Allen Stewart The North Shore Theater guild is announcing that "Lilies of the Field" will be the last play which it will produce under the technical direction of Richard Woellhaf. Mr. Woellhaf will leave the north shore early in the summer to take up new- duties as instructor in Denison university, Granville, Ohio, where his courses will incl.ude scenic designing and construction and play-producing. Theater guild audiences, remembering the olcj English tavern in "The Man With a Load of Mischief," the cabin scene in "The Dummy," and the moonlit Grace church with its shining window and heavy doorway in c'The Old Homestead," should be most willing to endorse his qualifications for the work he has chosen. The duti~s of the technical director of the guild are not ljght. A complete workshop is maintained at the Evanston studio, and there all scenerv is designed, constructed and painted under his direction. Furniture and hand-properties must be assembled and the whole made ready for the circuit. Stage-hands must be made familiar with the play and the set, to facilitate the changes that must be made quickly, and lighting effects planned and charted to insure uniformity. Few guild members realize the work involved in moving a theater guild into town, setting the stage for a performance and striking .and packing the set -ready to move to the next stand . . It is a job for a real showman-almost a circus-man-and the theater guild calls him the tech nical director. Three-Act Comedy "Lilies of the Field" is a three-act comedy. For it, two complete sets have been constructed in the guild shops. The first act is placed in the drawing room of the vicarage in an English village. It is a homey place, but · without any particular period or motif in its furnishing. The rest of the play takes place in the ante-room to the boudoir of a popular young Londoner. The room is "done" in th e early Victorian style, ·almost "overdone;" it has the air of a room lent to an exhibition. The sets have been designed in strict adherence to the story, and furniture in accordance with the general scheme has been supplied by William H. Hoops and company of Chicago. All this, plus lighting equipment, hand-properties and actor's luggage, will be carried from town to town for the eight performances of the play. "Lilies of the Field" had its first Evanston performance last evening and will be presented again this evening at the Woman's club. 6¥2% BONDS FOR INVESTMENT Lincolnwood Apartments, 2455-2507 Prairie Avenue, Evanston ..... $100 $500 , $1,000 GOLD BONDS IN THREE TO FIVE YEAR MATURITIES This beautiful building in North Evanston offers sound security for your investment.
