WILMETTE 1924 AND THERE ON STAGE AND of the Week By T!Nstio- "Thoae Who Dance" SCREEN "THE SEA HAWK" First Natu'onoJ Production Roosevelt Theatre t question, here is one of the ctures of the season. From the g novel by Sabatini, it takes one to sixteenth century times when s sailed the high seas. There is ce ,adventure, excitement and all other things that go to make up pleasant adventure. Months must have been consumed in nging the film into being. The mes are accurate, the ships fill requirements from Spanish galto Moorish craft and the chargive indications of having spent g hours under the capable direcon of Frank Lloyd. The story concerns an English ronct, falsely accused of murder, is carried out to sea under the ion of a weak brother-the real in. Captured by Spaniards, he -~~""·A'"""""' S a galley slave, suffering all tortures such work carries with it. growing hatred toward Christianity it has affected him develops a state mind in which it is easy for him to e a leader of the Moors who have captured the Spanish galleon. Named the "Sea Hawk" for his successful adventures on the sea, we watch with much interest his triumphal return to Algeria, the kidnaping of his sweetheart in England and his subsequent marriage to her un!ier the Mohammedan law. The settings are truly wonderful, thrill s abound and there is a steady suspense from the time the first boat appears on the horizon. At times spectacular. it is never over done. But on e must not forget the characters for they :ere well chosen and do remarkable work. Milton Sills has never done anything which impressed me as did hi~ work in this picture. In the course of <he , ·or:;· he is forced to display several different mental changes as well as changes of costume and manner. He arises to each occasion equally well. And Wallace Beery, as the comic villian does not over do things but rather presents himself to better advantage than in any other of his recent pictures. Otht'rs who sh"J-tld be mentioned are Frank Curri 1 William Collier, Jr., and arc McDermott. Go see the "Sea wk." You'll like it. "WANDERER OF THE WASTELAND" McVickers Theatre From the story by Zane Grey, this .,icture has all the little things about 1t to convince you it followed the Grey style of things .pretty closely. But there is an added feature,-the picture is entirely in color. Made under the new process it brings out in natural colors :t11 the landscapes and objects in the film. The setting is in the great southwest on the edge of a desert. The story a typical Zane Grey affair with the hero in a peck of trouble in every reel. He is accused of murder, escapes hanging, is chased by the sheriff, nearly perishes on the desert for lack of water and food, is bitten by deadly snakes and . in general has some exciting times. But there is always relief to a successful conclusion. Jack Holt is the hero and Billie Dove the heroine. Noah Beery and Kathlyn Williams are also prominent in the cast. The thing of real interest however, is the color work, some of which is decidedly beautiful and from that standpoint the film is worth a visit. Cecil De Mille is going to show the comedy producers some real bathing- with Ramon Navarro, Barbara LaMar.- and William V. Mong. Blanche Sweet, who plays one of the leads in "Those Whq Dance," which comes to the Howard for three days beginning Sunday, July 20, is transformed overnight from a simple little country girl into an alluring underworld queen. She does that by a hair bob and chic frocks which change her appearance to a new person. This portrayal is declared to be as strong as Miss Sweet's Anne Christie, in the movie of that name. Her part in "Those Who Dance" calls for somewhat the same type of acting. She makes a change to get the evidence for the release of her brother who has been sentenced to the electric chair as a re sult of a mixup with bootleggers. Marie Prevost.

At Catalina Island, where he is making "Feet of Clay," Mr. De Mille is staging the most sensational swimming-girl scenes that have ever been shot with a camera. Among other things , he has a troupe of beautiful one-piece-suit young ladies in an aquaplane race behind fast motorboats. Mr. De Mille intended to use Estelle Taylor as the leading lady, but he found to his di smay, that she couldn't swim and all the famous teachers in Hollywood couldn't teach her in time. The result was that little Vera Reynolds got her first chance. Like so many other De Mille stars, she is a little girl from the comedies. With two exce.ptions every girl thus elevated by De Mille has become a famous star. So doubtless Miss Reynolds in on her way.-Ciassic Magazine. HOY BURN It is a foregone conclusion that most of the people connected with the thea trica I profession are more or less superstitious. Barbara LaMarr says that she has a very strong belief in all the old superstitions of the stage. "I wouldn't let anyone whistle in my dressing room for anything in the world," she said. "I can remember when I appeared on the stage is was customary never to rehearse· the last line of the play," Fred Niblo added. "One thing I don't do is to hang a hat above my head; moreover I won't permit anyone else to do it either," Billy Mong contributed to the danger signs of luck. Wallace MacDonald claims that he's from Missouri for he has defied all superstitions. He's credited with saying: "Rather than breaking a leg or having a safe dropped on my head, I have been exceedingly fortunate. When I used to heed the cryptic codes of superstition I actually seemed to meet with more mishaps than I have since I have abandoned those beliefs."
