SOMETHING ABOUT
The GARRICK PLAYERS

The prstentious productions that
have marked the plays so far pre-
sented by the Garrick Players this
season has elected so much favorable
comment and aroused so much genu-
Inc curiosity that the management
has been prompted to take its audi
ences into its confidence and to ex-
plain why IL has deemed II advisable
to lay out considerable sums OF money
each week for realism and effective
ness. The stock organization that is
holding forth at the Shubert-Garrick TX
Theater is unlike the average resi-
dent organization of players. In that
most OF it's members are so-called
production people" and not the ordi-
nary type OF stock actor.
These production people are accus-
toned to appearing with high-class
New York or road shows, and were
they to be presented in settings that
did not conform with their prestige
and talent, they would be so out OF
place that the fate of play would
be in jeopardy. When the manage
ment of the Garrick Players mapped
out plans for this season II was de-
cided that a brand-new production
would be constructed for each play
presented. Each week there is a COM
plete scenic investiture, brand-new
furnishings, draperies, props. hang
ings, lighting. etc.
This. naturally. runs into a consid-
erable volume of money, but the man
agement believes that it's public Is
entitled to the very best and has
spared neither time nor expense to
make its productions as near perfect
as possible. In the matter of furnish
ings. the Garrick management has
had excellent cooperation from GER
tain local business firms, notably
Mayer & Co., from whom every piece
OF furniture used upon the Shubert-
Garrick stage Ia procured each week.
Of their enormous stock, furnishings
supplied by Mayer e. Co. are the pick
OF theirq enormous stock, furnishings
that would cost a small fortune were
any individual to purchase them for
his own use.
