Originally ·produced last season at the Eltinge theater, New York, where it had a long and prosperous engagement. it is now being shown for the first time outside the big city with the original company intact. The company numbers nearly sixty people. Miller and Lyles themselves are authors of the book, and they have originated some of the funniest situations and episode3 for which they are famous, while the jazzy and peppy ~usical score has been composed by J1mmy Johnson, who will conduct his own colored orchestra for the performance. Surrounding the 3tars is a company of well known colored talent, including Byron Jones and Lew Keene, two dancers of agility and speed; Evelyn Keys, Blanche Calloway, Hilda Perlino, and Anna Freeman, all steppers and singers of recognized charm. Among the musical hits with which the entertainment abounds, may be mentioned "Give me the Sunshine," "My Old Banjo," "Brothers," and "Deep Blue Sea." Bebe Daniels, Neil Hamilton on Screen at .Community House Bebe Daniels and Neil Hamilton are the principal actors in "Hot News," motion picture coming to the Community House in Winnetka next Tuesday nigbt. For those who like thrills this film is highly recommended. Bebe and Neil play hide and seek around the spike bonnet of the Statue of Liberty. Bebe is at her best, making the impossible seem easy of accomplishment. The story is of the motion picture news reel. It sets a fast pace at the start and keeps it up to the end. The Community House has an~ nounced "Jazz Ma~" as its picture for next Friday, November 16. The story is of Franz Hausmann, a musical CO'.hposer, who fails to sell his symphony, for which he had come to the United States from Ger.m any. When he has descended to playing in a comedy jazz orchestra to earn a living, his daughter arranges to have his composition played by one of New York's famous orchestras. This revives his spirit and helps win back his former prestige as well as gaining his daughter's happiness. Jean Hersholt as Franz Hausmann gives what has been called by some critics the greatest characterization of his career. He plays the part witli sympathy and feeling and just the right amount of restraint. Marion Nixon as Elsa, his daughter, gives an admirable performance. _a_a_a_a_1_a_a_ "Red" Grange, famous "77" of the University of Illinois football team of former years, will be the chief attraction in the stage show at the Norshore next week. The show has been appropriately called, "Come On, Red." AI Morey, guest conductor, will swing the baton for the Jazz Collegians. The screen offering for the week will be "Moran of the Marines," in which Ruth Elder, famous aviatrix, is co-starred with Richard Dix. Miss Elder is seen as a general's daughter w.ho falls in love with a youth. The youth joins the marines in order that he may get to Chi_ n a, where she has told him she is going. Richard Dix is the youth and plays the part of Michael Moran. He has led the general's daughter to believe that he has an important position with a railroad. Over in China she. learns of his deception and is the cause of his being court-martialed. He saves her from Chinese bandits and performs other heroic achievements, after which she kisses him right in front of Go·d and everybody.
