 Assisting in the general good work is Miss Helen Schoeni, direc- tor, and the various committees on stage business, scene painting, light ing and the kindred stage arts and crafts.
 Remote Control' requires one scene only. There will be no pause between the acts. the play being in the nature of continuous per- formance. The setting is a broad casting studio, station WHIP, high up in Chicago. The set, so they say, is in the modernistic manner. De- tails in broadcasting technique are important in this production. and it was necessary for the director to visit broadcasting station to check up on such details. All going well a perfect contact is expected.
 About twenty characters are lined up for the speaking parts, with a few minor characters who put in an appearance ,tosadd to the general atmosphere ofSStfe thing. Verna Bauck aand Bernard Fucker have the leads. ssr
 Remote Control" is the last of the Little Theater's public per formances for this season. which from a standpoint of well produced shows, has been most successful Many types of plays were seen, be- ginning the season last fall with ''The Plays the Thing" then fol- lowing with "A Bill of Divorce ment"; next came the famous "Un- der the Gaslight," and last month "Craig's Wife"
 So the season ends later this month with Remote Control'' which will explain itself at Jacques theater at date soon to be an- nounced.
