On the Second Evening of Canadian
Chautauqua hear
Popular Comedy Success "Skidding”
Here at Canadian Chautauqua
SCENE FROM SKIDDING
INSERT—MISS WINNIFRED PARKER
Skidding is a fresh, sincere picture of American family life, showing Marion Hardy, a modern college girl
who falls ecstatically in love with Wayne Trenton just as a career is opening up to her, and the difficulties she
has in adjusting her romance. Then there are the pretty young daughters who chose to marry before they finished
their education and want to "Come home to Mother" at the first sign of trouble. Mother Hardy is so upset at
the modern tendencies of her daughters'that she goes on strike in order to straighten out her family. Young
Andy Hardy is an adorable adolescent lad with his first ``case"—a typical Booth Tarkington part. He keeps the
audience in a gale of merriment with his humorous observances, his reminiscences about Grandma; and the white
satin slippers he makes for Marion to be married in, have a great deal to do with straightening out her love affair.
Although Skidding is hilariously ainusing,.it tells many an underlying truth which all audiences are bound to
relish. Humor is blended with pathos and a deliciously garnished philosophy makes Skidding more significant
than the average comedy. It is life. Awarded the Drama League prize. Produced at the Pasadena Community
Playhouse, where it broke all box office records because of its humor and popular human appeal, and ran for a
V continuous year on Broadway.
41 Chautauqua audiences in Eastern Canada will welcome the return of Winnifroil Parker, lovely young
