"Thanksgiying November 27, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 39 Stage and Screen News and Reviews VILLAGE THEATRE "Mare Nostrum," which opens at the Village theatre for a three day run, on Monday, November 29, is a grim, starky tragedy, that goes on to its un- compromising end, recalling, if not re- viving, the hates of the war and pic- turizing in startling vividness the ruthlessness of German-U-Boat war- fare. From a production and acting standpoint, nothing that has been pro- duced can surpass it, even Mr. In- gram's own immortal 'Four Horse- men," with which the picture must in- evitably be compared. A carefully se- lected cast, of which all but three are foreign, gives characterizations that stand out like cameos. For Thursday only "The Old Soak" will be presented. Taken from a play that easily earned intense popularity all over the United States, it enfolds the choicest of chuckles and the clev- erest of characterization. It is made for everybody and is certain to please. A 'Pathe Review film and "Ink Well Cartoon" will be the added attrac- tions. . W. C. Fields in "So's Your Old Man," plays the part of a glazer who manufactures an unbreakable glass for windshields. A brick through the glass of the wrong Ford brings on compli- «cations that are not lessened when he meets a Princess and hasn't sobered up from a too serious effort to drown his troubles. "So's Your Old Man" is | y | shown next Thursday at the Hoyburn. sure fire entertainment. "My Kid," featuring "Big Boy" and a Pathe Re- view complete the program for Friday and Saturday. THE GRANADA A galaxy of artists at the Granada this week fit into the most elaborate program offered since its recent opeh- ing. - It exudes the atmosphere of and the Army-Navy week-end celebration. Benny Meroff wields his baton with grace and ease, and has a great bag of stars this week, headed by the tap dancers, Cooper and Rector, brought from New York for an ex- clusive run at the Granada. Before winning this distinction in a national contest for professional dancers, they were featured in Artists and Models. The production, "Harvest Rose" is a spectacle of gigantic dimensions con- ceived by Jack Haskell, its atmosphere autumn in rural America. The organ presentation is entitled "Thanksgiving Minced Meats" and adds a bit of sen- timent to the program with an ap- propriate scene of old Puritan days in the Colonies. Opera, musical comedy and old favorite songs delight music lovers. THE HOYBURN "Kid Boots," the Ziegfeld stage suc- cess with Eddie Cantor which had a run of three years in New York, has its screen version in that which comes to the Hoyburn theater this week, opening last evening. Cantor appears in the leading role of the picture--his first film, and a riot of fun. Clara Bow and Billie Dove play in the picture with him. "Private Izzy Murphy," a comedy starring George Jessel, will come to the Hoyburn Monday for three days' showing. The story concerns an East side boy who joins the army and is placed in an Irish regiment. His name handicapping his promotion, he promptly acquires the Celtic title.
