WILMETTE LIFE June 10, 1927 true to life as to hold the attention from the first reel to the last. Teatro del . ) Corinne Griffith in Sparkling Week's "Three Hours" at Norshore Program Scheduled From riches to rags is the evolution through which beautiful Corinne Griffith as an outcast wife. passes in her new picture, "Three Hours," which comes· to the Norshore theater Sunday. Her role is th ;l ' of ·· sor-ietY matrfln who is the victim of circumstantial evidence and the wrath of an insanely jealous husband. This is the sort of story you enjoy more if you have not been told too much of the plot, so tt will be enough to say that it begins on Cl foggy afternoon when Corinne Griffith, begging for funds, meets John Bowers. After she has been given a sum of money, she steals his wallet. The story sets forth her adventure during the following three hours, the ending of whicb i" trnl,· r<' ttl a rl ·ahl e and far from the beatet1 path of the usual photoplay. Add to this a stage show that sizzle s with speed and diversity and you haYc a prog ram certain to satisfy and plea se the m os t discriminating. "The Fire Bricade" Not since Charles Ray played in "The Girl I Loved" has he had a part that approached in dramatic sincerity that of Terry O'Neill in "The Fire Brigade," the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production which is to be seen at the Vil lage theatre on Friday and Saturday. During the last year Ray has become identified with whimsical comedy role s such a s the ones he played in "Bright Lights ," "The Auction Block," and "Paris," and has shown a delightful versatility of characterization in these parts. However. Terry 0 '.1\c ill is a part that would delight the heart of an y actor. and one that affo rded Ray o pportuni ties he had nev er heforc been granted.
