---- August 28, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 27 Stage and Screen News and Reviews VILLAGE THEATRE "A Hero of the Big Snows," the latest Rin-Tin-Tin picture for War- ner Bros., directed by Herman Ray- maker, is coming to the Village thea- ter next Monday and Tuesday, Au- gust 30 and 31. Rinty numbers among his enormous fan following natural dog lovers, and many who have be- come dog lovers through seeing this canine wonder of the screen. His uncanny intelligence and remarkable beauty added to the intensive training given him by his owner, Lee Duncan, makes Rin-Tin-Tin the outstanding member of animal stars of the films. His present picture is the film ver- sion of the Ewart Adamson story, and abounds in thrilling situations which are said to give Rinty ample oppor- tunity to display the gift which has brought him fame. There will also be a Mack Sennett comedy, "The Merry Widower," and a Pathe news reel. Monta Bell, who is responsible for such cinematic gems as "Broadway After Dark," "The Snob," "The King on Main Street" and others, has found a new field for his efforts. In "The Boy Friend," his last Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer film coming to the Village theater on Wednesday, Sep- tember 1, Bell has one of the most charming satires in years. While a great many people will understand the picture and enjoy it only in the surface vein which it appears to be directed, there is an undercurrent of wit, and Bell went about the studio with his tongue in his cheek much of the time. "The Boy Friend" is a satire on the etiquette book, disguised in this case under "The Book of Charm," and offers Bell dozens of opportunities for the display of his particular brand of humor. In addition there will be an Aesop's Fable, "The Bumper Crop," and a Pathe review. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 2, 3 and 4, the feature attraction will be Buster Keaton in his latest comedy | Village Theatre Your Home Theatre J. B.
