J ~~ I WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1923 15 HERE AND THERE ON SCREEN AND STAGE Amateur MARCH HARES by H. W. GRIBBLE A Fantastic Farce presented by Tag NorrH SHORE THEATRE GUILD with the following cast: Ethel ..c.ho. sae. Helen Mount Mrs. Rodney .... Mrs. E. V. L. Brown Fdoar Fuller--= 000% 0, Ogden Cook Ceoffrey Wareham William Nourse Oliver 0 Je ood ai Minor Coburn Mrs. Ralph Heilman Claudia Kitts Mrs. Kent Chandler Mr. Brown William Boyden Ii memory serves correctly, a March Hare is a trifle wild and usually. ex- cited. *"Madder than a March Hare" and "Wilder than a March Hare" seem to have become common expressions in modern conversation. Mr. Gribble cer- tainly had them in mind when he wrote this amusing satire. But he had more than that in mind, with the result that March Hares is one of the oddest things I have ever witnessed. Employ a col- umn to tell the story and one would have hut started. It is a play of moods, of human emotions and of people who run about like March Hares. It was a pre- tentious undertaking for the Theatre Guild, but they arose to the occasion and acquainted themselves in splendid <hape. Mistakes in lines or the dragging oi a scene now and then are of small matter and were to be noticed only in the last act. Janet Rodney Mr. Nourse, as the wildest of the tem- permentalists, lived up to his advance nooces and gave an cutstanding per- jormance. In such a part as 'his there is auways the terrible temptation to bur- losque and he resisted beautifully. Mrs. Chandler, whose name appears on the Theatre Guild program for the first time, made a very plausible Clavflia K.tts, especially" in the first two acts. Ogden Cook, whose work in "The Hero" was so excellent, made a rather young looking Edgar Fuller, but then, perhaps Mr. Gribble intended he should be that way. The 'halance of the cast was well chosen and showed the effects ot the careful coaching which Mr. D.an, the director, had given. 1i the laughter, applause and re- marks of commendation which the large and fashicnable audience gave the pro- duction at Wmnetka on Tuesday ecve- ning count for anything, March Hares was indeed a success. 1 : Stage MAGNOLIA by BOOTH TARKINGTON [llinois Theatre Does your reflection of history in-| clude memories of the sunny south in! 13417 Do you know what honor meant | in' those chivalrous times? Or wherein lics the secret of bravery. All these thangs are woven into "Magnolia," the Booth Tarkington comedy which, with- | out the blare of trumpets or the beat- | ing of drums, slipped into the Illinois last Sunday. Here is a meek youth, raised with. Quaker ideas in Pennsylvania, return- | ing to his southern home where an irate | | Evansto "The Big Pictures First" NOW PLAYING JACK LONDON'S "The Call of the Wild" BEGINNING MONDAY 2 CECIL DeMEILLE'S FAMOUS PLAY "The Marriage Makers" WITH AGNES AYRES AND JACK HOLT MATINEE EVENING 2 to 5:30 7 to 11 father turns him out because he de- clines to "shoot it out" with a southern marksman. In the course of seven years he discovers the secret of bravery un- der the dircetion of a noted gambler and returns to the parental roof with a reputation as the worst bad man of them all. Through it all runs a love story pve finally ends as such stories should end. Contrasts are rampant in this play and I fancy Mr. Tarkington had many a chuckle to himself as he wrote it. In the title role of the youth, Mr. Leo Car- rillo gives a striking performance. He is moody, pensive or impulsive as the ex- igencies of the story require. But at the same time a totally different Car- rillo from the one we saw in Lombardi. Ltd. The little southern girl who finally capitulates 'into his arms is Miss Mar- tha Bryan-Allen who was so very clever some time back in "He who gets slapped." She is quite captivatnig. The balance of the cast is about as good as you could want and this is particularly true of Miss Ethel Wilson who plays the part of a mulatto girl in a gambling resort. You will find many a good laugh in "Magnolia." Hoyburn Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Nov- ember'. 5, 6, 7, brings "PIONEER TRAILS" to the Hoyburn. Cullen lLandis and Alice Calhoun play the leading parts with an all star cast in this romantic drama of the early West. David Smith, the director, handles this spectacular period of American History in a way that insures stir- ring entertainment. Historically de- picts frontier life during the period from 1849-1870, with a background of regions famed for scenic beauty. The lure of gold, the pionier caravan, the Indian attack combine to make this picture a genuine epic of frontier days, it is announced. On Thursday, November 8, "SOULS FOR SALE," from the noted story by Rupert Hughes, will 'be shown in Evanston for the first time. This romance is considered by many critics the best story of Hollywood ever screened and includes many famous stars. Friday and Saturday "THE AGE OF DESIRE" will be presented at the Hoyburn. Here is another compelling work of Frank Borzage, the noted producer of "Humoresque" and "Child- ren of Dust," the management states. Included in the very popular cast are William Collier, Jr.,, Mary Philbin, Myrtle Stedman and other capable actors. It is the story of those who hold riches in their hands--not in their hearts; the drama of a woman who desired happiness for which she sac- rificed her son. Through twenty long years her heart kept asking, "Where is my boy--is he happy." Just im- agine what a great producer has done with this appealing drama. Can you afford to miss it?" New Evanston Jack TLondon's famous novel, "The Call of the Wild," is seen in its screen interpretation at the New Evanston this week-end. An all-star cast pre- sents this story, often described as the greatest work ever produced by the pen of the versatile writer of adventure themes. Cecil DeMille's celebrated play "The Marriage Makers," is scheduled for the New Evanston on Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday of next week Agnes Ayres and Jack Holt have the leading roles in this intensely inter- esting drama. The usual first run comedy special- ties and news reels are provided for next week's New Fvanston offerings. The program also promises features of unusual interest. music PUBLIC MUST HELP SECURE BEST FILMS Recent newspaper articles intimate a crisis in motion picture industry. Curtailing expenses, and closing the doors of film studios temporarily, not only hits popular stars who entertain us nightly, but thousands of "movie" employes are affected. Motion picture art has developed rapidly. The cost has naturally in- creased. There was a time when average motion pictures were appre- ciated; now it takes super-pictures to please the majority. The public has turned critic, but has not helped much to finance better pictures. "Today," states Mr. Breckenridge, of the Hoyburn theatre, Evanston, "it costs more to book good photo- plays frequently than covered by the receipts. Some of the greatest pic- tures ever produced are being shown in Evanston by the Hoyburn theatre, as soon as released. It is well known that Hoyburn "movies" are repre- sentative of all that is best, as they will continue to be. The musical pro- gram is also proving distinctly su- perior. Where will you find better pictures or better musical interpreta- tions today? "Months ago the rising cost of film apparently necessitated increased box- office receipts, but the Hoyburn firm- ly refrained from advancing admis- sion prices. This policy will be con- tinued, with but slight change. An increase of six cents for evening ad- mission of adults has become un- avoidable.
