HERE and THERE Stage and Screen By Thespian STAGE THE FOOL. By Channing Pollock, Selwyn theatre-- Have you seen "The Fool?" It's a fair question because if you haven't I ad- vise you to go and I do it"with an in- timate knowledge of the kind of drama- tic entertainment north shore readers prefer. Some of the dramatic critics have explained that "The Fool" is a "Successful venture in theatrical religion" or "Religion brought up to date." It is considerably more than that. 'This story of the young man who has decided ideas of right living and who proceeds to fol- low through, brings back memories of "The Stranger in the House" and "The Passing of the Third Floor Back." More theatrical than either, perhaps, but by the same token, more entertaining. Whether you work with your hands or your head, you'll acquire a certain "something" out of "The Fool" that's a majority of our WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1923 15 fake and whiskers from Benton Har-| managing director of the Hoyburn HOWARD THEATRE offers "The Exiles," a John Gilbert. or. Yes, they played "jazz." The other was a collection of trained cats and rats. It must be hard enough to train either animal without having them work together. But this man did it and did it well. SCREEN LITTLE OLD NEW YORK; Cos- mopolitan picture, Roosevelt Theatre-- A splendid piece of screen work that really lives up to some of the wonder- ful things claimed for it in the vast amount of publicity that preceded its showing. Adapted from the play by Rida Johnson Young, it tells the story of an Irish girl, masquerading as her brother, who comes to New York and finds excitement and romance. The pic- ture presents the characters of Robert Fulton, Washington Irving, Cornelius Vanderbilt and others and depicts the old New York of a century ago. Ad- vance notices seemed to indicate that Marion Davies was about all there was to the picture. Such is not the case. Her work is the best she has yet shown but such stars as J. M. Kerrigan, Harry Watson and Louis Wolheim do a great deal to make this a successful picture.

The balance of the cast is above the average. Take my tip and see "The Fool." It's the best thing of its kind I know anything about. MERTON OF THE MOVIES. Blackstone Theatre-- A comedy in four acts by Geo. S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly from the story by Harry Leon Wilson. Those of vou who read the story will be de- cidedly interested in the way "Merton" is handled on the stage and you will be immensely pleased. This simple gro- cery boy, withaburningdesireto become a movie star, takes one to Hollywood and fills the evening with the most de- lightful humor imaginable, and now and then a touch of pathos. Practically everything they do and probably some things they do not do at Hollywood are woven into the tale while a love story carries through to the end.

For less than the price of a good movie, one goes in when he pleases and leaves when the spirit moves. Quite handy to kill the hour or so between dinner and 8:30. And now that the winter season is at hand the managers are providing a few novelties. There were two at the Majestic this week.

Grif- fith picture, Orpheum theatre-- The story of an orphan girl and the young minister who love, violate con- ventions and pay and pay. The scenes are laid in several of the southern states and the photography is really remark- able. Mae Marsh, under Mr. Griffiths guiding hand, plays the orphan girl splendidly. The rest of the cast is fair. The picture is for "adults only." i: i Neighborhood Theaters ans THE NEW EVANSTON Boulder Creek canyon, in Cali- fornia, has become a show place for tourists from San Francisco and other parts of Northern California. For here a complete mining settle- ment of the wild days of '49 was re- stored. Cabins built of redwood logs, open barns, the general store, the saloon and that indefinable atmos- >here which harks back to the old lays of the gold rush is reproduced. Its all part of the huge set con- structed by Paramount for the film- 'ng of the George Melford production, 'Salomy Jane," which is on view at he New Evanston Theatre this week. Perhaps in no other place in Cali- fornia is there a more complete re- blica of one of those crude settlements where the forefathers of this gener- ation hewed out a place for them- selves in the far west, the manage- ment states. One of the celebrated "Our Gang" comedy riots is being shown at the New Evanston this week. It is en- titled, "July Days."

WALLACE, Organist Evanston, where the film is booked for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. "As usual," continues Mr. Breck- inridge, "the photo version is greater than the play, there is unlimited ac- tion, natural and beautiful settings. The great English Derby is portrayed effectively. Around all of this action is woven a romance of an American jockey, who foils the crooks and wins fame, fortune and the girl." Alice Calhoun, Cullen Landis and a well selected cast appear at the Hoy- burn on Thursday, Friday and Satur- day of next week in "The Midnight Alarm." "Not a highbrow theme," says the manager. "One needn't concentrate to enoy this picture. It's a bit old- fashioned, and the dramatic situations are reminiscent of the good old stories we all have read and re-read. Many a thrill too, is promised, for whose heart doesn't leap at the sound of the alarm of fire in dead of night. ADELPHI THEATRE Shirley Mason and Buck Jones will be the stars in the Adelphi feature of- fering, "The Eleventh Hour," which will show on Friday and Saturday of this week. The play is characterized as an "up-to-the-minute Lincoln J. Carter melodrama replete with sus- pense, ' intrigue, adventure, romance, conspiracy and mystery," a fine diet for any movie fan. "Cameo Kirby" is the Adelphi at- traction for Sunday and Monday, Octo- her 27 and 28. It is a story of the old lays along the Mississippi, and has the advantage of being one of the latest William Fox productions recently shown exclusively at the Monroe theatre n the Loop. James Kirkwood will occupy the lime- light on Tuesday in his effective por- 'rayal of the leading role in "You are Guilty." A very acceptable entertain- ment. "Wandering Daughters" is booked for Wednesday and Thursday of next week. "The Gown Shop" on those days. Larry Semon will be seen in|.
