Haskings Begins Eleventh Year as Village Organist Milton Haskings, organist at the Village theatre is celebrating his tenth anniversary of presiding over the music in the Wilmette theater. Coming, as it does, just as the Village is installing a new Welte Mignon organ, it would seem that Mr. Haskings is being pre- sented with an anniversary gift. GUESTS OF THE VILLAGE All members of the Wilmette Fire department were the guests of the management of the Village theatre this week when "The Fire Brigade," Charley Ray's latest masterpiece, was presented. It is interesting to note that the first pre-release review of "The Fire Brigade" was witnessed by the dele- gates to the convention of the Fire Chiefs of America, which included the heads of fire departments from cities all over the United States and Canada and was held in New Orleans, La., a few months ago.

The blind see and the maimed walk in the Court of Miracles. In keeping with the name, such miracles are night- ly happenings there, for the Court of Miracles is the rendezvous of the beg- gars of the Paris streets, where the "blind" beggars remove their specta- cles, the maimed unstrap their distorted arms and legs and hearing is restored to the "deaf," so that all may enjoy each other's company when the day's activity is finished. Villon, greatest poet of his time, was a man of greatly diversified pursuits, not the least of his accomplishments being skillful thievery. Paradoxically enough, this poet whose verses thrilled royalty and changed the destiny of his country, was so much the vagabond that his closest friends were found in the strange Court of Miracles. "The Beloved Rogue" reveals John Barrymore in a characterization that is startlingly different than anything he has attempted previously, and easily the most charming, romantic role of his screen career. "The Claw" "The Claw," with Norman Kerry, Claire Windsor, and Arthur Edmund Carewe playing the principal parts, will be presented on Thursday only. The plot is taken from a story by Cynthia Stockley and was directed by Sidney Olcutt from a scenario by Charles Logue. Most of the action takes place in South Africa. The picture is fea- tured by several highlights: among which is the one where the hero's rival is shown tied to a stake and waiting for death at the hands of the African natives. The scenes of the savage war- riors dancing to the tune of the tom- tom are excellently done and almost make your hair stand on end; more- over, the jungle backgrounds are splendid. Gets Hair Cut Jackie Coogan, the "million dollar child star" has passed now into his twelfth year, the first milestone in his phenomenal career. He has emerged from babyhood to boyhood with the shearing of his bobbed hair. Jackie's first appearance sans long hair will be in his latest production, "Johnny Get Your Hair Cut," from a story written especially for him by the late Gerald Beaumont. Master Coogan has eight years of achievement in the motion- picture industry to his credit. His is the only career of its kind on record in theatrical annals, and if his new film is any indication of what the future holds, then Jackie Coogan will enter- tain the public through all the seven ages of man. Soon the youngest star of the silver sheet will be old enough to play "Ham- let" for David Belasco. A private tu- tor has been coaching him for years in academic and dramatic work. His school rating is junior class in high school. In histronic stratas he can recite anything from "Dan McGrew" to the recitation of any of Shakespeare soliloquies. Besides Jackie's academic training, he is a crack marble shooter, horseshoe pitcher, golfer and swimmer. Jackie presents a juvenile prototype of Douglas Fairbanks: he is tireless and athletic, and Doug is one of his heroes. "Johnny Get Your Hair Cut," which will be shown the last three days of the week, is Master Coogan's latest picture. wenn .
