»- 1926 July 31, WINNETKA TALK 25 Stage and Screen News and Reviews VILLAGE THEATRE Realism--with a capital R--is the! outstanding characteristic of Para- mount's gripping romance-drama, "The Rainmaker," which comes to the Village theatre next Monday and Tuesday, August 2 and 3. Ernest Tor- rence, William Collier, Jr. and Georgia Hale are the feature players in this stirring picturization of Gerald Beau- mont's widely read magazine story, "Heavenbent." The atmosphere of the race track around which the early part of the action centers is real, typical and vividly picturesque. Clarence Bad- ger, the director, filmed a series of racing scenes, that are said to be the last word in thrill and excitement. A Harry Langdon comedy, "Lucky Stars," and a Pathe news reel will complete the bill. An unusually picturesque fashion show furnishes one of the most color- ful espiodes in the film version of "Mlle. Modiste," Corrine Griffith's latest First National starring picture, which will be the feature attraction on Wednesday and Thursday, August 4 and 5. The revue is called "The Storm." By means of gowns and frocks es- pecially 'designed for the picture the various elements in an April shower are symbolized. Thus the sun is rep- resented by a mannequin attired in a gown of bright pattern while the clouds are represented by models in gowns of sober coloration. Others in the little fashion play represent the lightning, the sunbeams and the rain- bow. In addition a Stan Laurel comedy, "The Man About Town," and a Pathe review will be shown. Robert Louis Stevenson has left us this testimonal to the Samoans: "I love Samoa and her people. I love the land, and I have chosen it to be my home while I live, and my grave after I am dead; and I love the people, and I have chosen them to be my people, to live and die with." Now for the first time, Robert J. Flaherty has captured all the beau- ty and glamour of Samoan life in a truly exceptional Paramount picture, "Moana," which will be presented at the Village theatre on Friday and Sat- urday, August 6 and 7. Flaherty, the producer of that ex- traordinary Eskimo film, "Nanook of the North," spent twenty months with the Samoan natives making this--his latest picture of a strange race. The result is that he has translated to the common denominator of the celluloid, all the poetic praise which has been lavished upon the people of Samoa by Stevenson, Frederick OBrien, Beatrice Grimshaw, John La Farge and count- less other writers and travelers. To complete the bill there will be a Harold Lloyd revival, "Among Those Present," and a Pathe review. NORSHORE THEATRE A real novelty will be seen at the Norshore theatre starting Sunday, when Dorothy Gish's brilliant charac- ter study of "Nell Gwyn" will be the feature. It is a true-life romance, richly veined with comedy, the pathos of slum-life struggle, and dramatic love intrigue in royal palace halls. The picture was made in London in the very haunts once trod by light- hearted Nell. The story follows the adventures of a poor, little orange girl, whose wit and daring made her Eng- land's greatest actress, the King's fa- vorite and a national idol. The com- petent cast of stars are in supporting cast. The change on Thursday brings Theodore Roberts, the famous old man of the screen, back to pictures in "The Cat's Pajamas." Betty Bronson and Ricardo Cortez assist in making the production a treat. Mr. and Mrs. George Frazer and their oldest son, Edmund, of 639 Lin- coln avenue, will sail August 4, on the S.S. Aquitania, to spend seven weeks abroad. They will first go to" Paris, where they will complete their plans for the remainder of the trip, which will probably include travel through Switzerland.
