Program Next Week "Beware of Bachelors," is the picture to be shown at the Teatro del Lago this Sat~rday, December 29, gives an~ exeee~mgly clever treatment of a subJeCt whtch has been g~ne over by story writers and dramattsts for many years. A le~din~ criy~ made th!s comment conc~romg It:. Be,~ar~ of Bachelors' is treated m a halanous vein and it has that quality which kee~s an audience at chuckling point from the beginning. to thf. <:n~ of the show. Audrey Ferns an~ Wtlham <;ot-· tier Jr., a·re very amusmg and hkcable as the squabbling couple Andre Bcranger, reme!llb~red . for _other bizarre charactenzat10ns, JS amusmo.{ as the perfumu, who yearns to express his varying moods with perf';Jm~s of varying violence. Dave Morns ts ludicrous as the huge pursuer, and Margaret Livingston plays with zest and charm. Roy del Ruth has done an exceptionally fine piece of direction, no opportunity for laughs or touches that interpret character being omitted." The screen version of Earl Derr Biggers' recent Saturday Evening Post short story, uHoneymoon Flats," will be on the Teatro screen this Sunday, with George Lewis and Dorothy GuHi,·cr co-starring. The story concerns a voung married couple, the boy an ambitious young man anxious to succeed in business and to support his wife on hi s salary, the girl the daughter of wealthy parents who insist on donating gifts to the couple to enable their daughter to live in her accustomed style. Many spats occur between the "in-Jaws." These are all deliciously handled in a manner ski1lfu1ly guided to heighten comedy. The cast contains many names familiar to those who know their motion picture history. Among them are two silver sheet YCtcrans who formerly were stars in their own rights-Kathlyn Willian. and Bryant Washburn. A Story of Gangsters Stories of gangsters are familiar fare on the screen this season. "The Racket," which comes to the Teatro del Lago next Monday, December 31, was drawn from a play which was one of the first in the recent wave of crime dramas on the stage. Although the subject of criminals and crooked politicians ·and the connection between them is well worn, it is so vividly and dramaticall\· treated here that it comes forth in co lors as fresh as new paint. Louis \\' olheim plays the part of Nick Scarsi, lead er of the gang. Thomas Meighan has. the role of the police captain, McQtugg, who dares go after the muchprotected Scarsi. Marie Prevost contributes a clever performance as a ca~laret entertainer. "The Racket" is satd by a leading Chicago critic to he not only one of the best pictures of its typ e.. but one of the most vivid and effecttve productions of ally class which the season has brought forth. "The Man Who Laughs," ranked ~o; .one of the best pictures shown in "'~ucago during the month of October, will be the New Year's day attractior. at the Teatr~ del Lago. Paul Leni, the Germ~n dtrector, has brought Victor .~ugo s story to the screen with ~e~nftc ~ffectiveness.

The picture gives some · interesting glimpses of back stage life. All the power, the pathos and the dramatic events that have made railroad building and railroad operation in out of the way places one of the most colorful episodes in the progress of this country, is vividly depicted in "The Crash," Milton Sills' latest starring vehicle coming to the Teatro next Thursday and Friday. The picture was adapted from Frank L. Packard's ma!!azine story, "The Wrecking Boss," and tells how the soubrette oi a struggling burlesque troupe marries and tries to make a home for the boss of the wrecking crew. They have nothing in common except their love for each other. The girl has been used to the free and easy ways of the traveling show. The man knows nothing of women except what he learned as a boy. Every advantage has been taken of this situation in unfolding the picture. Thelma Todd plays opposite Mr. Sills. -everything but the pictures on the walls and the silverware in the cupboards-will be sold. It will be replaced by "swanky" new outfitting.; that will include new draperies tables chairs, glassware and a special ~ew pat~ tern of china never before used, anci all most cleverly harmonized to make something different and something gay.

It will be the "last minute" gesture before the removal. The last two weeks have been busy ones at the maisonette, and the visitors there have included Mrs. Walter A. Strong of Winnetka, Mrs. T. K.
