WILMETTE LIFE November 22, 1934 Globe Theater Players A ppear at Winnetka School on Tuesday S e ns at ion of Worids'sFait Br .ought to North Shore That Shakespeare, when on comedy * bent, is noaring good fun was the discovery both of the critical and the ancnitical who witnesse d the per- formances in the Globe theater in Menrie England at A Century of Progress this summer. Particularly was this true of "'The Taming of the Shrew," and for that reason it is one( of the four plays wbich the Globe Theater Players are bringing tc Skokie school, Winnetka, Tuesday, November 27. Charles Collins, after witnessing the first performance of "The Taming of the Shrew," wrote in the Chicago Tribune: "It had a Swift pace, the broad humor and the swaggering gesture that Tudor firstnighters ex- pected of their favorite author. That atmospbere of literary solemnity that hovers over the classics seemed to vanish. Thrilling Performance "Seated on a front row bench, I nearly had the comic servant. Grumia dropped into my lap by a lusty kick from bhis swaggering master, Petru- chio. Only a finger-nail clutch at the boards saved him and me fromn dis- aster. It was almost as exciting as jack Dempsey's collapse into tbe ring- side typewriters in the famous fracas with Firpo. Petruchio's whiplash also caused me several moments of appre- hension, and when the leg of mutton. and the tableware began to fly> around, in the final scene of the shrew's subjugation, I buttoned up my overcoat and prepared to dodge fouI balîs. Red-Blooded Drama "The performance that 1 saw was a perfect realization of the purpose of tbe Globe theater-to give brief versions of Shakespeare's plays in the burly, vigorous, red-blooded style for which they were written. The text was condensed into the acting time of 40 minutes, but the form of the comedy was preserved although much of its narrative material was omitted. The. editing of the manu- script was a sbrewd job of scholar- ship and showmanship combined. 'Carl Benton Reid's Petruchio was Sclose to the character in bearing and personality as any I have seen- a wheedling, jovial, brain-stormy ad- venturer witb a natural gift as a woman-tamer. The Kathanina of Miss Jackson Perkins was a fine blenid of, shin-kicking jade and haughty aistocrat." Promise Stirring Evening "The Taming of the Shrew" com- bines with '*Julius Caesar," in which John A. 'Nillard has created a no- mantic, a spectacular, and at the. samne time a real and comprehensive Marc Anthony, and. Donald G al- lagher a convincing Cassius, to make a varied and stirning. evening.' To complete the prugnam Miss Helene Rahn, soprano, will sing Elizabetihan »ngs in costume to the accompani- inent of a virginal played by Miss Dorothy Lane.. The afternoon's program is desigiied to be particularly interesting to the younger cbildren and includes per- formances of "A Midsummer Nîght's Dream," in which Mr. Reid will play the part of Bottomf, the weaver, and Mn. Willard that of Quince, the carpenter, and of "As You Like It," in which Mr. Reid or Bertram Tans- well will play Touchstone, the clown, while Miss Jackson, Perkins wilI r take tbe role, of Rosalin.ý Miss Helene Rahn will sing dur ing the in- termission.
