November 16, 1928 WI~METTE LIFE Motion Picture and Stage Productions· AI. Kvale, popular orchestra director at the Norshore. theater, will be back this Saturday, Nov. 17, to direct· the Jazz Collegians in a gala stage show called "Pickin' Peaches." AI has been spending the last week as guest conductor at the new Paradise theater on the west side. The screen offering for the week will be "Two Lovers," ranked among the best by both local and national movie critics. "Two Lovers" i'3 said to be the final co-starring picture of Ronald Colman and Vilma Banky. It is a fascinatir.g story of princes and lost thrones, of a tyrant's oppres'5ion and the spectacular feats of a masked swordsman who seems to be always on the spot when a good deed needs doing. The work of Vilma Banky and Ronald Colman in "T_ wo Lovers" is smooth, romantic, and pictorially satisfying as usual. The mob scenes are impressive, and sometimes unusual, as when the loyal sons of Flanders go through a swamp up to their teeth in mud to reach the castle and protect their prince. The picture i'.; exceptionally well done from every point of view. Al-Kvale Is Back; Mackaill, Mulhall Star in ·Picture at Varsity · Nor shore to Show Dorothy Mackaill and Jack Mulhall Colman-Banky Film have the principal roles in "Water- front," picture ~ow showing at the Varsity theater in Evanston. Miss Mackaill, as the daughter of a tugboat captain, lives with her father and grandfather in a house at the end of a pier and young Mr. Mulhall · comes along as oiler on a tramp steamer. His courtship of the captain's daughter is tough and heady and much beset ·with storms and treacherous calms. The lady has a set idea that she wants to live at the sea side. Father and lover, w~p. ·AA~~ r.~~ch other c~rdially at first, bury· the 'hatcher and umte for the purpose of making Miss Peggy Ann want what she doesn't want, that is, to settle down on a farm. They concoct a truly masculine plan that works out as the picture will show you. "\Vomen They Talk About" will be shown at the Varsity next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The picture has been called "the best talkie yet." It boasts a cast including Irene Rich, Audrey Ferris, William Collier, }r., and Claude Gillingwater. One of the best things about the picture is Irene Rich's excellent vitaphone voice. Claude Gillingwater proves that an exstage actor, though effective on the silent screen, is. much more so in a .sound film. He gives a charming characterization of an irritable old gentleman who enjoys his enemies. The picture is well direct~d. r"Show Folks " Theatrical p· ' Be G ada ICture to at ran uShow Folks," another yarn about the struggles of theatrical people,. will . be shown at the Granada for one week . beginning this Saturday, November 17.
