"Jaws of Steel" will be shown on This time Tuesday, September 25. Rin-Tin-Tin, the dog actor, is in a desert pictur:e. Lost when a pup, and grown from a waif of the desert to a fierce J>ristling woli-dog, he finds again, the friends of his childhood, jus~ ~fter they have struck gold, and are in danger from some bad men. With Rin-Tin-Tin are Jason Robard·s, Helen Ferguson, Baby Mary Louise Miller, Robert Perry, Jack Curtis, and George Conners. "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come" is the picture attraction for Friday, September 28. It deals with ~Jie ~ays of the Civil War and the adventures which befall a fourteen-yearold m,ountain boy, homeless and a wanderer, with no other companion tl:tan his faithful dog. They travel into the distant mo_ untain regions, far from civilization; into the aristocratic homes of the Blue Grass country and into the Union camps where the lad -meets General U. S. Grant. Later, when the war is over and the young man returns to claim his ~weetheart, follow a series of dramatic incidents that hold interest to the final scene. Richard Barthelmess plays the homeless boy and Molly O'Day his sweetheart. · The· record breaking .a.tteridance at the: Playhouse during this entire week has induced the management to continue for one more . week with the Russian film sensation "The End of St. Petersburg." This is said to be the greatest of the Soviet films, even more wonderful than' "Potemkin." The acting cast numbers more than fifty thousand persons. There is no star or featured player. The film is directed by Padowkin, who, with Eizenstein, has brought the film industry in Russia to a technical fineness both in photography and di~~ction. . . T he _ e ntire photography is marvelous. The Kerensky revolution, the Bolshevist revolution, and the storming of St. Petersburg, are shown with wonderful realism. The final day of this engagement will be Saturday Sept. 29.

UNIVERSITY 8500 FOR SEATS -o- 'Jazz Singer' Sets New Record at the Varsity The new perfected Vitaphone which opened with the "Jazz singer" broke all attendance records at the Varsity theater this week. Not since Lubliner and Trinz took over the house, according to Manager Murphy, has there been such a large attendance. At both evening performances the picture played to capacity houses and many were turned away. The Vitaphone installation was declared to be the most perfect in the entire Chicago area. The effect, according to electrical experts who made the installation, is due both to the fact that the perfected Vitaphone is being used and the fact that the theater was originally built with per'fect acoustics. BANKY WITH NAGEL AGAIN When Vilma Banky starts work on the film version of "Romance" she will have Conrad Nagel as· her leading man. Jeanette Loff and Eddie Quillan are being co-~t_arred in "Geraldine," a I Booth Tarkington story. '--------------_,., N orshore to Show ,"Oh Kay_," Colleen Moore Comic Film Colleen Moore, recently so successful in "Happiness Ahead"' and "Lilac Time," will be seen at the Norshore theater beginning this Saturday, September 22, in "Oh Kay" wherein Miss Moore plays one of the comedy roles for which she was so well known prior to taking up the more serious pictures. · "Oh Kay" is the screenization of the musical comedy success, and it is pleasant if not unusual entertainment. T_ he story of Lady ~ay Rutfield of England, who runs away from a despised fiance, sets sail for America on a rum runoer and, over here, finds herself in ridiculous and impossible situations-that merge duly into a blissful and permanent one, holds the interest. The film is full of action. The alert Miss Moore is assisted by an efficient cast, prinCipals being Ford Sterling, Alan H~te apd Lawrence Gray. On the stage At Kvale, recently returned from his successes at the Oriental theater in the loop, will direct his Jazz Collegians in " A Jazz Paradise." This is the gorgeous stage creation which was used for the opening of the new Paradise theater on the west side during the last week. The Norshore has announced that beginning this week its pictures and stage shows ' will be changed every Saturday instead of Sunday. Billie Dove has been cast as a member of the Russian nobility in "The Thirtieth Day of October." Bancroft will start work soon in the title role of "The Wolf of Wall Street."
