8 of TT ER. PT a ps / A ~~ cy WINNETKA W EFKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1923 15 HERE AND THERE ON SCREEN AND STAGE By Thespian STAGE THE BEST PEOPLE, ILLINOIS THEATRE A comedy in three acts by David Gray and Avery Hopwood. The play is adapted from David Gray's story, "The Self Determination oi the Lenoxes." It is produced under the auspices of Charles Frohman. The Best People is a smart, breezy comedy of American life. Its first few minutes start off slowly and then the affair picks up, developes into a most hilarious sec- ond act and finishes with a bang. It is without doubt one of the best laugh producers seen in these parts in a long time. "The extent of its mirth moments was perhaps best expressed by a lady in an adjoining seat who confided to her neigh- bor that she needs must see it again be- cause she couldn't absorb it all at one sitting. A rare compliment to any man's play. The story concerns a "best" family where we find a modern flapper daugh- ter in love with an upstanding and sen- sible chauffeur and an cqually modern son ready to marry a chorus girl. Fath- er, a skilled lawyer, attempts to right the situation and then the fun starts. But after he has apparently solved the matter to everyone's satisfaction, it be- gins to appear that perhaps the chorus girl and the chauffeur are the very peo- ple thei ought to marry. Question, just whoiate ie "best pecple"? The ca:t is capital. Charles Rich- man makes a pericctly natural and hu- man father. Margaret Dale is the hys- terical mo her and James Rennie he quiet and honest chauffeur. Florence Johns a tc lady of the chorus is given a steady stream of slang that makes it possible for her to nearly rin away with the show. George Graham as "Uncle George" makes prominent a part that might "have been more or less obscure under less skillful handling. The Best People will be at the Illin- ois until December 3. I heartily rec- ommend it for a place on your theater- going program. THE MUSIC BOX REVUE COLONIAL THEATRE This is the second issue of this revue, the one last year being considered by many as the outstanding thing of its kind during that season. It is difficult to make comparisons since tastes differ but one can certainly say that this year's production is a gorgeous spectacle and a splendid evening's entertainment. Much money went into shimmering gowns and glittering scenery; original ideas were gathered for stage pictures and some new songs developed by Ir- ving Berlin. Sam Ash with a strong voice sings "Lady of the Evening," "Crinoline Days' and "My Diamond Horseshoe" and for them are provided remarkable stage settings that are awe-inspiring. Seldom does one see such lavishness of color and costume. Bobby Clark provides fun. He is a rare comic and very effec- tive. With him work Paul McCullough, Charlotte Greenwood, Hal Sherman and numerous others. Their presentation of most of the skit "The Lady in Red" was extremely funny as was "The Mexican Execu- tion." But the real comedy gem was their grand opera burlesque of the "Yes, we have no Bananas" classic. Seldom have [ seen an audience enjoy anything more fully. Mixed with the comedy 3 and song is much good dancing. Hal Sherman and Charlotte Greenwood oblige with singles that make vou beg for more while Amelia Allen, The McCarthy Sisters and Ruth Page are not far be- hind. Scene follows scene in rapid succes- sion through two leng acts and one leaves with a genuine feeling of an eve- ning well spent. SCREEN Mr. W. A. Kimball, of the Bell Tele- phone company, who has recently in- stalled a broadcasting outfit in the Chi- cago Theatre, is quoted as saying that the accoustics of that theater are the most perfect he has yet found. The musica: and vocal program of the Chi- cago th.atre is being broadcasted every Saturday evening by the Chicago Daily News station. HIS CHILDREN'S A Paramount Picture McVICKERS THEATRE F.xposing what is supposed to happen to the several children of weathy par- ents. Decidedly censored in other cit- ies but said to be practically complete here. Old and young enter into the mis- deeds with a tather and three daughters being the principal offenders. But the picture ends as d:d the book with these various members changing their mode of living and realizing the folly of their ways. The picture 1s advertised as an expose of scciety which 1t isn't. You will find the cast excellent, especially Bebe Daniels, George Fawcett and Hale Hamilton. CHILDREN JEALOUS HUSBANDS A First National production. CHICAGO THEATRE ) If you are not too terribly particular about plots, you will probably find con- siderable to like in this picture. Per- sonally, I can't imagine any man, who happens to have a slight suspicion that his wife is unfaithful, giving his only son away to a band of gypsies just to spite said wife. But that's just what happens and then they spend five years trying to find the boy, which of course they do, and of course the wife forgives the husband and he discovers his wife was: O. K,. all the time. Farle Williams, as the husband, is entirely unconvincing to me as a wildly jealous man. Jane Novak makes an appealing wife. The heavy work is done by George Seigmann and Emily Fitzray, as gypsies, and Ben Alexander as the boy. The latter, who was so good in Penrod and Sam, is a splendid child actor and he and Don Marion, who plays the other boy, really are the hit of the picture. Forget the plot and watch these two bows work. rr Neighboring Theaters J NEW EVANSTON "The White Rose," latest of D. W. will remain at the New Evanston this week-end.

The majority of automobiles are kept in small single garages which through the winter are tightly closed. With the motor running these small structures, with deadly carbon monoxide. Deaths tollowing the running of au- tomobile motors in closed garages have been sof such frequent occurrence in evety part of ithe country that it would be thought warnings now are unneces- sary, but the poisonous gas is so insidi- ous in its action that motorists grow careless. : [f the motor is running and no smoke at all is coming from the exhaust don't § take it for granted that no harm can befall you when the garage door is closed.

He be- comes drowsy and, lying down, he in- hales more of the deadly gas, for car- bon monoxide is heavier than air and its greatest quantity is close to the floor. It is during cold weather that most deaths from this cause have occurred because with the low temperature the automobile owner is tempted more of- ten to run his motor with the garage doors closed. However, many deaths have occurred during summer, and many persons have been overcome by carbcn monoxide while lying under a car, the motor of which was running, cven when the garage doors were wide open. It is a good plan to shut the mo- tor off if you have to crawl under the car at any time. In case of carbon monoxide poisoning the victim should be removed at once to a warm place with fresh air, and a doctor called. If the victim is uncon- scious, and even if he is not breathing, artificial respiration should be applied as quickly as possible and kept up until the victim regains consciousness.
