AMUSEMENTS

Program MOVING-PICTURES Tonight

The Little Theatre Company. "The Trojan Women." One of the best recent works of dramatic criticism is "The New Movement in the Theatre," by Sheldon Cheney. He treats of the "Aesthetic Theatre Movement," the English dramatists, and the failure of American producers, the progress of the experimental theatre, theatre architecture, etc. In this work he gives considerable prominence to the Chicago Little theatre, whose company is to present "The Trojan Women" at the Gennett on April 14th. He says: "The Chicago Little theatre is perhaps the most typical 'art theatre' in the country. From amateur material Maurice Brown, the organizer and director, has whipped into shape an or

ganization which stands today as one , of the most vital expressions of the

new dramatic spirit in America. Dur- j

ing the first season the productions

ranged from Euripides' 'The Trojan

Women to Strindberg's 'The Stronger :

and 'Creditors, from William Butler j

Yeats 'On Baile's Strand' and 'The Shadowy "Waters' to SchhitzlerVAnar yoi.' The' list bespeaks nothing if not breadth of view and courage. And these are the qualities which the com

mercial producer so completely and so sadly' lacks. ' The "Little" theatre tends to the literary or poetic drama rather than to intensive social drama; and it has produced literary plays that are seldom seen on the stage elsewhere, notably the less dramatic of Yeats' work and Filfrid Wilson Gibson's 'Womenkind' and 'The Ferry. The staging is designed according to the newest European ideas of simplicity and suggestion, and the settings as a whole have been remarkably successful in evoking the proper atmosphere for the action. The Little Theatre company, not content with spreading the gospel of beauty in its home city, has toured the principal dramatic centers of the east, bringing a refreshing breath of dramatic sincerity into communities that usually see nothing but the more artificial and sophisticated offerings of the commercial theatre." Tickets $1.00, 75c, 50c and 25c. on sale at the Murray theatre and Ross' drug store. Adv.
