Theatron to Produce Notable · Plays for North Shore Drama Lewers at Evanston Club Beginning Wednesday and Thursday, November 21 and 22, Theatron's Marionettes will start their subscription season with a production of "The Taming of the Shrew", by Shakespeare. Their home is to be in the Evanston Woman's club where a stage one-quarter life-size will be set up in a small hall for an intimate audience.

The medium of the marionette is a comparatively inexpensive means to their end, for costume plays and hitherto unproduced plays of merit cost much to mount on a large stage. Among the pieces to follow "The Taminl! of the Shrew" are "Noel, or the Mystery of the Nativity", by Maurice Boucher, for the first time in America, a revival of Henry Fielding's hurle·sque, "Tom Thumb the Great," and "Winged Women," i!fter the novel by Inez Haynes Irwin, for the first time on any stage. Incidental Music Features A feature of these productions will be their incidental music, played by Miss Marg-aret Bluthart of Kenilworth. "The Taming of the Shrew" has a selection of Elizabethan melodies and compositions written originally for the virginal hy such sixteenth century ma·sters as Dr. John Blow, Orlando Gibbons and Dr. ] ohn Bull. This music, harmonically fine as it is. ranges over only the four octaves of the virginal (a precursor of the pianoforte) and has a quaint and miniature effect very appropriate to accompany marionette action. 11 Noel or the My-;tcry of the Nativity" has a special score written by Paul Vidal, a pupil of Massenet. This was performed to enthusiastic audience·.; at the Petit-Theatre in Paris. "Tom Thumb, the Great" is to have an accompaniment of amusingly bombastic eighteenth century opera music. Rehearsals are now in progress for "The Taming ·of the Shrew" with a set of marionettes designed and constructed by Paul McPharlin, director of Theatron. Each face shows the special characteristics of a character in such a way that, when the light ~hift'3 across it, the character seems to CJme alive with his own individuality. Katherina, the shrew, is red-haired and sharp-nmed, with narrow eyes and a scornful mouth. But when her taming is accomplished, she droops her head and her whole cxprcssoin grows mild and modest. The c0'3tumes are exact miniatures of Elizabethan styles, executed in silks, satins and velvets. The fur 11iture and architecture conform t:> the period, some Tudor English and some north I tal ian, for the introduction of the play take3 place in England, and the play proper in and a~out Padua. Expert Constructs Stage John L. Dean of Chicago, w.ho .has designed work for the Audttonum theatre now in its last opera season, and various other Chicago theaters, ha·.; constructed a stage that may be taken down in pieces for transport.ation, and quickly assembled agalll.

Theatron's Marionette theatre is the first in the country to give a season of plays to a subscription audience. The general public may obtain ·seats for individual ·plays after the subcribers have been accommodated. The ordinary puppet is aimed at children's eQjoyment, but Tbeatron's Marionettes make an appeal primarily to adultsJ both for their plays and their manner of mounting.
