A long heritage of stock COM
pany experience is a priced posses
sion of the Christy Obrecht Stock
company, appearing all next week,
starting Friday, July II, through
Tuesday, July 16, in Sank Centre, in
their tent theatre located on the
school Fairgrounds. Starting it's
twenty-fifth season on the road in
Minnesota cities, the Christy
Obrecht players have given at least
$500 performances of more than
500 plays, according to Merle Pot
ter, Twin Cities theater and Gin
ema columnist.
In his column Mr.. Potter report
ed that Mr.. and Mrs. Obrecht
started out with their show 25
years ago, Christy as the juvenile
lead, Mrs. Obrecht as the ingenue.
Now they play characters.
1.-THE Obrecht's have been show
people for more than those 25
years. The first Obrecht show took
to the road more than 40 years
ago, headed by Christy's father.
Then it was called the Obrecht
Swiss Opera Company and tent
show business was a bonanza in
those days. At one time there
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1940-07-11

were three Obrecht companies on
the road. Christy, ST., Christy, Jr.,
and the Christy Sisters, five of
them.
Jeanne Eagels, star OF "Rain,"
famed for her tempestuous nature,
once played with the Obrechts for
two weeks. She left because there
weren't any parts she could do.
Once the late Marie Dressler ap-
piled for job, was turned down.
Woody Van Dyke, director of such
motion pictures as The Thin Man
and Marie Antonette,' once direct
ed for the Obrechts. Salaries in
those days were $40 a week and
pay ALL Latter meant board, keep
and transportation. Frank Bacon
of Lightnin',' Dom Mullaly, the
author of 'Laff That Off and Bron-
ko Billy Anderson were once
Obrecht players at these fabulous
salaries" There's no cussing, no
risque scenes in any Obrecht show.
That's a rigid policy with Christy.
The cast of the company now in
cludes Elmer Oberg, Davis Sulli-
van, Mason Wilkes, Dorothy Mae
Robert, Ruth Keelan, Norbert
Weller, Jerry Ketchum, Christy
and his wife.
