WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1925 15 HERE AND THERE ON STAGE AND SCREEN Neighboring Theaters NEW CAMPUS Robert G. Vignola, who produced "When Knighthood Was in Flower" and other romantic pictures for Marion Davies, is back in modern production with "I'he Way of a Girl," the Metro- Goldwyn picture that comes to the New Campus theatre next Monday and Tuesday, July 6 and 7. The story, a comedy-melodrama, concerns an ex- citement-mad flapper. The cast in- cludes Eleanor Boardman, Matt Moore, Mathew Betz, and William Russell. The bill will include a Christie comedy, a news reel and a cross word puzzle reel. Wednesday and Thursday, July 8 and 9, Lila Lee will be seen in her new picture, "The Midnight Girl." This play, a picture of Broadway night life with all its glamour and all its grief, is from the pen of Garrett Fort, spe- cially written for Miss Lee, who makes the most of the many opportunities that the story affords her. Stage struck girls will find a lesson in this photoplay, which is a true pic- ture of the difficulties that beset one who is ambitious of a career in the theater. The supporting cast is an exceptional one and does itself justice at all times. Also, there will be a comedy, a news reel and a Grantland Rice Sportlight. Tom Mix, Tony, the horse, and Duke, the dog, will be seen Friday and Saturday in "Teeth." This is a great combination and the picture will be appreciated by all who like Mix. In this, his latest vehicle, he appears as Dave Deering, a happy-go-lucky wandering prospector, a lover of his horse Tony, and later a dog, Duke, that he finds sorely wounded. From this point the story moves with intensified action, with many realistic scenes, one vivid feature being a real forest fire. It is an ideal vehicle for Mix. Other features on the bill will be a comedy, a review, and Aesop's Fables. "Silk Stocking Sal," a detective story, will be shown at Saturday's matinee. NEW EVANSTON Gloria Swanson's new Paramount picture, "Madame San Gene," the story of a French laundress, who be- friended Napoleon in the days of his poverty and was remembered by him in his days of prosperity and power, opens at the New Evanston theatre next Monday. It was while Napoleon was a young lieutenant of artillery that he first met Catherine Hubscher. She had a laun- dry in the Rue St. Anne in Paris, and there the young officer took his soiled clothes. Incidentally, it was in this street during the recent war, that the American provost-marshal had his headquarters. Many an American soldier who went "A. W. O. L." spent several nights almost next door to the spot where Napoleon had his washing done. Catherine was pretty and out-spoken. She didn't know--and if she had known, probably would not have cared--that her impecunious customer was one day to be the greatest figure in the world. Napoleon lived at the Hotel des Pa- triots. THE HOYBURN The Hoyburn theatre features Rich- ard Dix in his latest, and what is said to be his greatest, comedy drama "The Shock Punch." This picture is also one full of laughs and has a love theme that should please both young and old. With "The Shock Punch" will also be shown a Hal Roach comedy making the first three days of next week, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the Big laugh show of the season at the Hoy- burn. In "Percy," his second Thomas H. Ince Pathe picture which comes to the Hoyburn theatre next Thursday for a three-day run, Charles Ray is again the poor benighted boob thrown sud- denly into the Sea of Life, to sink or swim, regardless. The early scenes present a boy, utterly spoiled and 'sissyfied" by a doting impractical mother. The picture proper opens with "Percy" fully grown, still tied to his mother's apron strings, a devotee of everything "ultra," everything esthetic everything "cultural," everything use- less. He has never done a real day's work in his life, and his father has about despaired of "making a man" of him. Then one night "Breezy" Barnes, Jasper Rogeen's campaign manager, convinces "the kid" that he ought to take an active interest in electing his father to the senate. he took him downtown to "put him COMMUNITY HOUSE 7:30 & 9 P.M. Friday July 10 Kate Douglass Wiggins "TIMOTHY'S QUEST" and OUR GANG IN "SEEING over the jumps." To his surprise Percy jumped so high and so wide that he jumped clear out of the picture, and, in- cidentally, cut loose from the apron strings forever. "Squiffy" for the first time in his voung life, Percy engineered a cam- paign stunt which resulted in a free- for-all street fight. His flight from the law ended in a box car bound for the Imperial Valley. He rolled out at the Mexican border, after three days and nights without food. Absolutely "on his own" for the first time in his life, he found that the only thing he had learned that would get him a meal was his playing of the violin. So he played for the patrons of the Red Owl Saloon in Mexicali such music as they had never heard before. Afterwards he signed up as cotton picker on the Chandler ranch, and took up the fight of his employer (a lovely young lady, of course) against the pro- prietor of the Red Owl, who was also the political boss of the sector, and wanted to drive the law-abiding Amer- ican farmers from the American side of the line. The story is said to provide a gen- erous measure of: 'comedy relief." Ray is at his best in the title role, and is aided and abetted during the last five reels by Charlie Murray in the comedy character, "Holy Joe." Other excellent players in the supporting cast are Don Marion, as the juvenile Percy, Louise Dresser as his mother, Joseph Gilgour as his father, David Winter as Ro- geen"s campaign manager, Victor Mc- Laglen as the heavy, with Jack Cos- grove and Richard Neill as his two henchmen, Betty Blythe as a dance- hall senori#ta, Barbara Bedford as the heroine, and Adelbert Knott as her father. THE HOWARD One of the last pictures finished un- der the supervision of Thomas EH: Ince was Charles Ray's second feature for Pathe release, entitled "Percy," based on William H. Hamby's novel, hereto- fore called "The Desert Fiddler." After] some thought Mr. Ince decided to] change the title to "Percy," as he con- idered that a more logical name for th central figure in the story. The plot of "Percy" is just as un- usual in theme as others of Ray's suc cesses, but the story is in a lighte vein and contains a deal more humor than is generally found in a dramatid feature. R. William Neill directed and the cast includes Barbara Bedford Betty Blythe and Charlie Murray "Percy" will be the attraction at the Howard theatre next Sunday, July 5. Dorothy De Vore and Matt Moor are featured players in a film calle be shown at the Howard theatre next Monday and Tuesday. Dorothy Mackaill, who plays the title role in "Chickie," First ] screen adaptation of the recent serial "How Baxter Butted In" which is ta National's | sented by First National. Mackaill has the title role. novel, which is the attraction next Wednesday and Thursday at the How- ard theatre, and John Bowers, who has an important part in the same picture, have been brought back to the begin- ning of their careers in the picture. Dorothy started her career as a stenographer in London. Bowers start- ed out to become a lawyer. Both gave up their first desires and turned to the screen, where they became successes. Now, Dorothy is a stenographer and Bowers is a poor young lawyer in the picture. "Baby Peggy will be seen at the Howard next Friday and Saturday in a film version of the popular chil- dren's tale, "Captain January." VILLAGE THEATRE "Excuse Me", taken from the great stage hit by Rupert Hughes, will be shown at the Village theatre Monday and Tuesday, July 6 and 7. This is one of the funniest pictures ever filmed, and is produced with an all star cast, in- cluding Conrad Nagel, Norma Shearer, Renee Adoree and Walter Hiers. "Excuse Me" is the most moving picture of the year; it moves with ex- press train speed from the start, when a young couple are taxicabing wildly about Chicago looking for a minister to marry them, through the hilariously ad- venturous trip across the Continent in a Pullman train, to the sensational fin- ish when the nearly-weds catch the transport for the Philippines by way of an airplane to San Francisco. "Why Hesitate ?", a Christie comedy, and a Pathe news reel will complete the program. Our old friend Ernest Torrence will be seen next Wednesday and Thurs- day, among other noted players, in his latest picture. "The Dress-maker from Paris." Other features on the bill will be Hope Hampton in a fashion reel and a Pathe comedy, "Riders of the itch ange." Remember "Chickie" in the great newspaper serial story which made such a hit-recently?

PREDICTS GREAT SUPER-HIGHWAY Professor Bailey Foresees Automobile Way LO! THE RICH INDIAN! Charlie Murray, who plays the com- edy character, "Holy Joe," in Charles Ray's second Thomas H. Ince Pathe- picture, "Percy," after considering the matter pro and con, he has concluded that civilization plus Henry Ford has about robbed the Noble Red Man of all his dignity. Predicting a super-highway between the largest cities and their suburbs and the rapid development of the 20,000,000 acres of suburban property in the United States, Dr. William IL. Bailey, professor of sociology at Northwestern university, in an address this week to 1,000 members of the Superhighway Improvement association at the Book- Cadillac hotel, said the day is soon ap- proaching when America's great cities "will be three-fold as spacious as they now are." The super-highway has been neces- sary, he said, by reason of the rapid increase in the number of automobiles within the great cities. He painted a picture of a wide-sweeping boulevard "with several alternative flanking routes" which will make possible the complete development of suburban ex- pansion. "Although our large cities in the United States are making greater rela- tive progress in control and improve- ment of vital conditions than the rural communities, they are bound to suffer Conrad Nagel the slump from their previous high rate [a if increase unless they swell the as "EXCUSE ME" growth by suburban development," he "Why H TH and reel Christie said.
