Pirate Puppets Thrill
Two Tryon Audiences
The puppet-show wizardry of
Tony Sarg again charmed two
Tryon audiences when the original
New York company of marionettes
put on a full dramatization of
“Treasure Island” at the Parish
House on Friday afternoon and
evening. This was a return en
gagement of the marionettes who
a year ago played “Robinson
Crusoe” and scenes from “The
Mikado” to delighted Tryon aud
iences.
The stage settings for the
puppet version of Robert Louis
Stevenson’s immortal adventure
classic were particularly pleasing,
and the acting of the marionettes
under the direction of David Prit
chard measured up fully to the
usual Sarg standard.
For a time the Parish House
was literally filled with pirates,
but when, in the end, young Jim
Hawkins had outwitted them all
and saved the dav for his honest
friends, the pirates were all dead,
save one—Long John Silver—and
he was a mightily chastened
pirate.
The annual coming of Tony
Sarg’s marionettes is a cultural
feature of the Tryon season that
everybody feels should be con
tinued from year to year. St.
Agnes Guild, which sponsored the
show last year and this, and Miss
Ferdinanda Poppe, who conducted
all arrangements, are to be con
gratulated, with the hope that they
will bring the marionettes bade
again next year.—G. S.
