WHEN MOTHER GOES ON A STRIKE
By and with L. Verne Slout

Figure


A composite picture of the Great American Home, with all its trials and its joys, its calamities and its comedy—presented so that you may peek through your neighbor's key-hole and see what's going on across the street (it could not take place in your own home.)  When your funnybone wants to laugh—your wisdom-tooth suggests — WHEN MOTHER GOES ON A STRIKE.

HER HUSBAND'S GHOST
Do the dead come back?  Her husband thought so, and it saved one matrimonial voyage from shipwreck.  Subtle—yet, with humor that scintillates.

THEATRE Workshop
The No. 1 Program presented by L. Verne Slout and his Associate Artists of the Theatre is designed to take you from the stage door and give you a peek behind the grease paint.  You meet the actors as they are and as they appear in their various parts.

Definitely entertaining — this theatre laboratory style of presentation creates one of the season's most interesting and cultural experiments.

Special stage equipment, scenery and lights are carried in order that each experiment of the stage may be properly presented.

L. Verne Slout needs no introduction to most communities, as he has headed his own company for years.  An actor with a purpose, a producer with ideals and a successful author of plays.  During the World War, which took him to Russia, he had the opportunity to meet and become acquainted with many of the celebrities of the Russian stage of that day.

Associated with Mr. Slout will be two capable artists of the stage, selected for their particular talents and ability to present the varied Theatre Workshop programs.



Program 3
A Worthy Revival

Complete Play Presented or Scenes from Play Included in Program 1.

L. VERNE SLOUT Presents
His Own Arrangement of Joseph Jefferson's Immortal
RIP VAN WINKLE

Created by Washington Irving—immortalized on the stage by Joseph Jefferson.

Revived so that audiences may once again refresh their memory with the one and only example of early American literature, which can be successfully transferred to the stage.

Faithfully reproduced — correctly costumed — an intriguing story of a likeable ne'er-do-well.
