WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1924 'BEAUCAIRE' ON C. HL. FILM LIST Elaborate Drama to Be Seen Here Soon "If the word "super-production" had not been so sadly abused and mis- used, one would be sorely tempted to apply it to Rudolph Valentino's latest Paramount picture, 'Monsieur Beau- caire," which is due at the Commun- ity House, Friday and Saturday, Oc- mY Rudolph Valentino in the Paramount Picture "Monsieur Beaucaire? A Sidney Olcott Production tober 17 and 18," declares Burton H. Atwood, Jr. director of Community House pictures. ; "If ever a picture deserved super- latives it surely is this screenplay, which Forrest Halsey adapted from Booth Tarkington's gloriously human story and which reaches the silver sheet via the directorial guidance of Sidney Qlcott," continues Mr. At- wood. "Imagine the love interest of 'The Sheik,' the romantic coloring of 'Blood and Sand' and the spectacle of 'The Four Horsemen' combined in one photoplay and you begin to understand why 'Monsieur Beau- caire' is a photodrama of amazing beauty and power. To the students of history it will be an inspiration; to the schoolboy it will be an educa- tion, and to the blase film fan it will be a revelation. All the pomp and magnificence of the court of Louis XV, notorious for its love affairs, its intrigue, honor and vice! The schem- ing Mme Pompadour, the dissolute King, the crafty Richelieu--they live once more! ; "And there isn't a man or woman, who will fail to sympathize and thrill with the merry, dashing Duke de Chartres with all his amours and all his fights! Verily, it is a role that only Valentino can play to perfec- tion! z "As for the supporting cast, it may well be set up as a standard of ex- cellence, including as it does, Bebe Daniels, Lois Wilson, Doris Kenyon, Lowell Sherman, Tan Maclaren, John Davidson, Paulette Duval and many, many others famous on stage and screen. 335 Film fans, you who rave about the great pictures you have seen, see "Monsieur Beaucaire" and you will have something to brag about!

PUBLIC FORUM Editor, Winnetka Talk: The Talk deserves the hearty com- mendation of everyone for publishing the Reverand Gerhardt's sermon on Defense day, a sermon which I have just had the pleasure of reading. Does it not seem un-American that in a matter as important as the develop- ment of public sentiment towards our national military policy we find few newspapers and practically no public speakers with courage to present the views of those who do not agree that Americanism. Very truly yours, Charles A. Kinney. QUARTERLY DIVIDEND The North Shore Gas company has issued quarterly dividend checks for the period ending September 30.
