· Reviews of the Week I Neitiborlng ~ ;;;;;;-.iiiiiii._._._._._iiiiiii;;;;;;;;o;;;;;;;;o;;;;;;;;o;;;;;;;;o;;;;;;;;o~ I AMATEUR _Just as the areneral consensus of opi~Jion seemed to be that the local amateur was at an end and the overworked players ready for a summer of rest, word reaches me that there is to be another production at Community House the last week in June. To be exact the dates are to be ]\Jne 29 and 31. The play to be presented is that old favorite, "Officer 666," played here by professionals some ten years ago. It is farce comedy and when well presented is extremely funny. The local cast for the production includes several star performers and L. L. Buchanan, well known in north shore dramatic circles, will do the directing Among those now rehearsing parts are Messrs. W. C. Boyden, Jr., Charles Matz, Richard Bull and Charles Eastman. Also Mrs. Sam White and Miss Nichols. r. t f t SCREEN "WOMEN WHO GIVE" Metro Production Chicago Theatre I know of no good reason why this particular title was put on this picture unless it was for advertising purposes. It is an adaptation of Sarah Greene's story "Cape Cod Folks" and the latter name just uts things. The story is of the sea, the boats that go out upon it and the men and women who give to it their time, effort and frequently their lives. Into the story is woven dual love affairs, one a romance between a captain of a fishing boat and the daughter of the town's richest merchant, the other between a son of this same rich man and the daughter of thd faithful keeper of the lighthouse. There are some beautiful scenes as well as some exciting ones when the boat attempts to make its harbor in a hurricane. The characters make real human beings of their parts and the author has involved the love affairs to a point where they are interesting to watch. Frank Keenan, who is these days contribiJting some of the best screen work, und'*takc::o with -p;rc&t IIUQCIC!Ill"" HOWARD The Howard Theatre has billed for Friday and Saturday of this week, "Un der the Red Robe" with Robert Mantell and Alma Rubens. Constance Talmadge will be featured in tbe "Goldfish," for three days starting Sunday, June 15. This is a story adapted from the French and has a pleasing twist. It gives Miss Talma~e another opportunity to · show her abtlity as a comedienne. It will be remembered that Marjorie Rambeau atarred in the stage play of the same name some time ago in Chicago. On the same program there will also be an OUr Ganc comedy entitled, "Sunday Calm." An up-to-the-minute story of the modern girls and young men will be shown Wrednesday and Thursday. Patsy Ruth Miller, who is becoming a strong favorite among the movie stars, has the leading role in "Daughters of Today." The picture is subtitled as a comedy of jazz but there are moments of sympathy and honor in the activities of the modern daughters. The home element is brought out and things end satisiactorily. ADELPHI Frank Mayo is featured in "The Plunderer" Friday and Saturday of this week at the Adelphi theatre. Starting Sunday, June 15, "Triumph" will be on the screen for three days. This picture which is the latest issued by Cecil B. DeMille features Leatrice Joy and Rod LaRoque. It is a triangle story with a forewomen of factory (Leatrice Joy) won by the legitimate son, of the owner of the plant. The son of the owner of the factory, by a hid· den marriage, is willed the property of his father and the legal son goes to work in a restaurant. The tables tum and the legal son becomes owner of the factor~ and he makes his half brother the foreman of the plant. A return engagement of William Fox's great classic, "If Winter Comes" with Percy Marm'ont, will be the 'feature of the screen program Wednesday and Thursday, June 18 and 19. This picture is an adaptation of the famous novel by A. S. M. Hutchinson. NEW EVANSTON D. W. Griffith's master production, "The .Birth of a Nation," a Unitea .relea£~ ..will Examples of the architecture of the period represented, that of Richelieu and Louis XIII of France, are accurately froduced such as the Palace Royal o Paris and tbe Caatle de Cocheforet. Robert Mantell takes the role of Cardinal Richelieu witla John Charles Thomas as the. heroic Gil de Berault and Alma Rubens as Renee. The second half of the week will be taken up by Laurette Taylor in her second starrinar picture for Metro, "Happiness," which was originally a stage .p lay written by J. Hartley Manners, the author of "Peg 0 ' My Heart." The story is of bow a little shop girl changes the life of a wealthy family from boredom to happiness. Miss Taylor is supported by Pat O'Malley and a prominent cast. King Vidor was the director. . CAMPUS The Campus theatre will present "His Forgotten Wife," a Palmer Photoplay Corporation production .of Will Lambert's story June 16 and 17. The picture deals with Suzanne DuVal (Madge Bellamy) who marri'es a soldier who has lost his memory. Because of the lack of funds the married couple get jobs as servants in the home willed to the soldier's former fiancee. After some episodes, the complex conditions are simplified with the soldier's memory back, and things end happily. Derelys Perdue, a former member of the Marion Morgan dancers will be seen at the campus, June 18 and 19. in an F. B. 0. production, "Untamed Youth." In this picture which deals with gypsy life among the orderly communities, Miss Perdue does a gypsy dance of her own creation. In the cast are also Lloyd Hughes and Ralph Lewis, who is a former Evanston resident. "In Fast Company" featuring Richard Talmadge will be shown June 20 and 21. It is a fast moving drama with thrills and stunts participated in by the hero. Mildred Harris .plays the lead opposite to Talmadge with Sheldon Lewis and Snitz Edwards in the supporting cast. Nazimova is to return to the screen, after an absence of two years, in "The Madonna of the Street," an adaptation from "The Ragged Messenger" by William iB. Maxwell.

His handling of a daughter whose characteristics so closely resemble his own. is a great delight. Barbara Bedford is this daughter and does real well, while Renee Adoree and Margaret Seddon are conspicuous for good work. "Women Who Give," is a beautiful picture and all will probably enjoy seeing it, although bear in mind, the title is misleading to a certain extent. "MEN" Paramotutt PictNre Ul'ith Polo Negri This is by far the best thing Miss Negri has so far shown us. Her per· formance is at once fascinating and convincing and it is a pleasure to watch her as she unfolds the several different emotions which are called for by the difficult part assigned to her. The story is a mere nothing compared to her acting. It is something about a HOYBURN waitress, fooled and tricked by a man, "Under the Red Robe," from Stan~ey who becomes a famous dancer and Weyman's famous beanng spends her time extracting huge sums the same title, is to romance be shown at the of money from the men she meets. Hoyburn theatre, June 16, 17 and 18. All of the money so received she scatters to those who need it, indicating that her effort to get it is merely made to show in what contempt she holds all at the New .t;vanston theatre for the entire week starting June 16. This picture which had a record rua at the Capitol theatre in New York, on a return engagement, covers the essential details of American history ranging through three centuries. Actual battles are shown with thousands of soldiers in the c·onflicts. Cities were built for this picture and destroyed by fire. The Civil War period is faithfully produced in tbis story and the different occurences are shown, as that of the Ku Klux Klansmen. Some 25,000 yards of white muslin were used up in the costuming of the Klansmen. It is a narrative of tears and smiles that a list of characters as these and many others in the picture can give. The cast includes Henry B. Walthall, Lillian Gish, Mae Marsh, Miriam Cooper Mary Alden, Josephine Crowell, Ralph Lewis and many others who are prominent in the movies now. .h& th. ....u ...... ..~ PACKARD PREFERRED yoo noticed the inaeulnl HAVEN'T number of ocw Packard Sixes and Apfiland May cJe1iveda of 1924 wen. cbe ~ ~ 6dr hllcoq--Jarsdy a· tccding our pm'ious ~ moodla ol April rand May, 1923. v Jliihta on the .,_. ol anc.ao? mB~t there are excellent scenes, beautiful c::Jothes, fine direction and some spectacular moments.
