co December 5, 1925 WINNETKA TALK 39 ssnnror po Stage and Screen News and Reviews VILLAGE THEATRE Monday and Tuesday, December 7 and 8, Bessie Love and Neil Hamilton will be seen in "New Brooms" at the Village theatre. This is a late picture which received very favorable com- ment from movie critics when it was shown in loop theatres. There will also be a Mermaid comedy, "Below Zero" and a Pathe news reel. Chap- ter 3 of the serial "Wild West" will be shown at the Tuesday matinee. "Havoc" is the title of the picture which will be featured on the bill Wed- nesday and Thursday, December 9 and 10. George OBrien is the star of this picture, which is a tremendously dramatic production. Added attrac- tions will be a Helen and Warren comedy, "The Peacemakers," and a Pathe review. Rin Tin Tin, the wonder dog of the silver screen, will be seen Friday and Saturday, December 11 and 12, in his latest picture "Below the Line." This is a story of the great outdoors in which the acting of the dog star is allowed its fullest scope. There is a strong supporting cast and the plot is good, making a very enjoyable pro- duction. To complete the bill there will be a Juvenile comedy, "Baby Blues" and a Pathe news reel. HOWARD THEATRE Three great pictures featuring three of the most popular stars on the screen today will be seen at the Howard thea- stre during the coming week. On Sun- day, Monday and Tuesday, the 'maif picture will be "Her Sister From Paris," with Constance Talmadge. Miss Talmadge is her usual attractive, sparkling self in this film and the whole picture is excellently done. On Wednesday and Thursday, De- cember 9 and 10, Adolph Menjou will be seen in his latest success "A King on Main Street." This is a fast-mov- ing, laugh provoking comedy-drama, telling of the adventures of a king of a small European state who came to America to negotiate a loan for his country. The plot is exceptional and the acting is better, if possible. There is a strong supporting cast including Bessie Love and many others. Rudolph Valentino, the darling of the sub-deb and her older sister, will be seen Friday and Saturday in his new picture "Cobra," which has been highly acclaimed whereyer it has been shown. This is another unusual pic- ture with a unique plot and a slight departure from the conventional end- ing. The acting is good and the photo- graphy is 'beautiful. Rudy is as hand- souie a heartbreaker as ever, but he introduces a new note which has en- tered into few parts he has played be- tore. You will want to see him in "Cobra." THE NEW EVANSTON "Cobra," the much talked of picture which is Rudolph Valentino's latest vehicle will come to the New Evanston next week, beginning Monday, Decem- ber 7. The picture is hailed as his greatest production, and it merits the description on a number of points. The plot is good and a strong cast makes the most of it. Valentino is given a chance to do more real acting than he has been allowed to do since he made Monsieur Beaucaire. He takes the part of a poor I ntleman who comes to the Unit tes and is befriended by a wealthy American. His benefactor marries a society girl who has previously been attracted M------------ -- by Valentino until she learns he is penniless. After the marriage his em- ployers bride, played by Nita Naldi, makes love to Rudy and tries to in- duce him to betray his friend, but he refuses. From this point the plot moves forward to a tremendous climax, with an unusual ending. HOYBURN THEATRE James Oliver Curwood's picture "The Ancient Highway" will be seen at the Hoyburn theatre on Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday, December 7, 8 and 9. This is one of the best stories ever written by the great writer and is brim full of thrills and dramatic sit- uations. The star is the popular Mr. Jack Holt, whose work in "The Pony Express" and in many other pictures has received so much favorable com- ment. Holt is ideally cast in this film and the whole production very well done. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Reginald Denny will be shown in his latest comedy success "Where Was I?" The picture is a hilarious farce built around the efforts of the hero to learn where he was on January 19, 1923. He is accused of having married a young lady in Washington, D. C, on that day, and he has made all his plans to elope with the daughter of his business enemy and wants to be able to prove that the accusation is false. To further complicate the plot there is a robbery of a $12,000 pay- roll and a blackmailing cab driver, played by the old Sennett comedy favorite, Chester Conklin. The picture is one long laugh throughout. The Christmas party committee of the Junior auxiliary of the Infant Welfare league met Wednesday after- noon at the home of Mrs. Alexander N. McCallum of 1331 Chestnut avenue. ™ Newell & Retchin The House of Harmony, HOWARD Continuous Every Day--2:15 to 11:15 N. W.
