- WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1923 3 - PHOTODRAMAS At Neighboring Theatres * Douglas Fairbanks is the screen idol of the north shore these days with the showing of his tremendous success "Robin Hood" at three neigh- borhood theaters. This week "Robin Hood" drew immense crowds at the New Evanston. Next week The Vil- lage Theatre and the Adelphi at Clark and Estes avenue, Rogers Park, show the 12-reel sensation. Village theatre patrons will view the play on Monday, Tuesday, Wed- nesday and Thursday of next week. Douglas Fairbanks takes us back 800 years and reveals to us how peo- ple acted when chivalry was at its zenith. The joys and sorrows of the stirring century in England have been lived all over again in this modern day before the camera and the por- trayal is deemed absolutely accurate, this whole production being based on every fact available in all the records extant. Realism abounds in the play; from the castle, its moat and Sherwood for- est, to the costumes worn by the principals and 10,000 extras all are patterned closely after the mode of the period. VILLAGE THEATRE Next week might well be termed United Artists' week at the Village theatre. Beginning Monday, April 30, Douglas Fairbanks will monopolize the program with the showing of his remarkable dramatic achievement, "Robin Hood." This 12-reel film will remain at the Village theatre through Thursday, May 3. Friday and Saturday, will bring an- other great screen artist to the Vil- lage theatre. Yes, Charles Chaplin is the name. The vehicle is "The Pilgrim," ranked as the greatest screen comedy of all time. There isn't much more to be said than just that. It'll be one of the biggest week's the Village Theatre has ever experienced. That may be safely predicted. NEW EVANSTON THEATRE With Douglas Fairbanks' "Robin Hood" closing an unprecendented en- gagement at the New Evanston this Saturday, the patrons are preparing to enjoy another well recommended photodrama beginning Monday, April 30. : Cecil DeMille's production, "Adam's Rib" is scheduled for a run of unusu- al success next week. This is gener- ally considered by drama critics as Mr. DeMille's greatest production. In the cast are such stellar lights as Milton Sills, Elliott Dexter and Anna 0Q. Nilsson. HOYBURN THEATRE Maurice Tourneur's mammoth pro- duction, = "The Christian," adapted from the famous novel and play by Sir Hall Caine, will be shown at the Hoyburn Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday, April 30, May 1 and 2. "The Christian" is a photoplay that is worthy to rank among the best that the industry has to show, in the opin- jon of many critics. Exteriors of the pictures were filmed in England and on the Isle of Man under the personal supervision of Sir Hall Cain. It is a powerful drama of modern life. John Barrymore will be the Hoy- burn attaction on Tuesday, April 3, appearing in one of his remarkable "Sherlock Holmes" roles. The picture will be a benefit for the Kappa Delta sorority at Northwestern university. Douglas McLean comes to the Hoy- burn for the Friday and Saturday. May 4 and 5 programs. This time it will be "Sunshine Trail". Miss Edith Roberts plays opposite the dynamic McLean. "There's a laugh every mile along the Sunshine Trail' it is an- nounced. An added attraction for Friday and Saturday will be the film "Man Vs. Beast," showing the hunt of big game in Africa. HOWARD THEATRE "Hearts Aflame," starring Frank Keenan, will start off next week's pro- gram at the Howard Theatre. The picture, which is considered one of the finest productions of recent release, will be seen at the Howard on Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 30, May 1 and 2. In addition, there will be the film "My Hero." Ethel Clayton will grace the Ho- ward silver sheet on Thurday, May 3, in her latest triumph, "Can a Woman Love Twice." Friday and Saturday, May 4 and 5, brings Douglas McLean to the Ho- ward in his great comedy. "Sunshine Trail." Round three of "Fighting Blood' will be an odditional feature for those two days. Sunday, May 6, show Charles "Buck" Jones in "Snow Drift." ADELPHI THEATRE That great film, "Robin Hood," Douglas Fairbank's stupendous tri- umph, will be the sole and sufficient attraction at the Adelphi Theatre for five days beginning Monday, April 30. There are twelve reels in the depic- tion of the thrilling scenes of old Nottingham Forest and the bold brig- ands who succored the poor and rob- bed the rich. "Robin Hood" is un- questionably one of the great films of all time and sensational throughou:. The same program as given at Coh- an's Grand Opera House several months ago at top-notch prices will be seen at the Adelphi at that theater's customary admission prices. Saturday, May 5, will see Pola Negri in her first great American triumph "Mad Love."
