Seekers of amusement in Wilmette, especially the "movies" fans, will not have any further complaint on the lack of places to go this summer after Saturday night. On that evening the Village Theatre, which the management is pleased to term "the theatre beautiful," will open for the approval of residents of this village and the north shore. The theatre is owned and controlled by residents of Wilmette who have at heart the interests of their neighbors, and will strive to entertain them with the best of motion pictures and high class music.
No expense has been spared by the owners in making the theatre one of the handsomest, most modern and best equipped north of the loop district of Chicago. The latest approved ventilating and cooling system has been installed which supplies fresh air at all times.

A treat in the way of a musical program is promised by Prof. Monnet, who will give solos on the famous Kimball pipe organ at each performance. Great care will be taken by M. L. Sparr, the manager, in selecting the programs to be offered in the theatre. Especial attention will be directed in providing pictures which will be of interest to the children.
The seating capacity of the theatre will be more than 600. Wide and roomy upholstered orchestra chairs are in place and with extra wide aisles everything has been arranged for the comfort and safety of the patrons.
Manager Sparr has had much experience in the motion picture business. Until recently he was manager of the Bryn Mawr theatre in Edgewater and has also been identified with numerous other large show houses in the city.
