Karch. 30, 1!111 : . .. At the North I ia iiNo -·-,Sbtritltn ROIIII Blta1ttn ·Wilmette .· · _, ICmilwortb ~ .- Tmu..., M._'n-After April · After several months of negotiations, BalabaJJ. and Katz, through Lubliner ana Trinz, a subsidiary company, have signed a long term lease with the University Theater .c orporation for the :Varsity theater. The .Lubliner and Trinz ·organization officially -takes control of the Varsity April 9. Wallace James, formerly assistant manager of the Chicago and Tivoli theaters, is to be manager of the local movie palace. This i·.:; the first time that a movie house in any northern suburb has come into the control of a sizable theatrical organization and the acquisition of the Varsity raises the to~al of the L. & T. string to 24. The lease was negotiated through John F. Hahn and Garfield Anderson of John F. Hahn, Inc. Lubliner and Trinz officials have announced the signing of contracts with Paramount - Famous- Players- Lasky, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, First National United Artists, Warner brothers and Universal for all their special photoplays. Evanston movie fans will benefit through the change of management because of the position and influence of Lubliner and Trinz and their relations with the prominent producing and distributing film companies. Improvements to the exterior appearance of the Varsity are now in progre·.ss and permission will be sought from the city to increase the exterior illumination by approxim;ately 100,000 candlepower through tile erection of a larger sign and other changes. It is expected that these improvements will be completed by April 9. LEASE P.b. ICMilwortll 3980-3981 ATUitDAY~ T .

Taking into consideration both the plays offered and the manner in which they are done, it is doubtful if better entertainment value could be found anywhere; week after week, than that provided by the Evanston Players. Seldom is there a play in which seven persons have the chance to dis- · tinguish themselves, all in fairly important par~s. "American Born" is one, however, and the Evanston Players include seven actors and actresses able to do justice to them. The plot is laid in Mulbridge hall, FILMS YOU'LL LIKE Harrow. England, lately come into the p~ssession of the American scion of "The Patent Leather Kid" the family that has occupied the hall for centuries. This man. Gilson, is "The King of Ki~gs" ably played by Robert Lowes, the "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" company~s ldading man. His chief "The Last Command" advisor, Clark, is portrayed by Rich"Old Ironsides" ard Ward, who is able to demonstrate his ability more fully in that role than "The Gaucho" in any he has had since he joined the "The Circus" company.

Gilson falls in love with Sir Arthur's daughter, Jocelyn, played by Margaret Fuller, and Clark falls in love with Lady Bertram's daughter; Lydia, a role excellently filled by the vivacious and charming Joan Peers. ·Cupid also shoots with precision at Sir Arthur and Lady Bertram and the business affairs of the two Americans, which ANNOUNCEMENT are responsible for no little comedy, are settled in a satisfactory manner.
