™ R=. March 20, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 29 Stage and Screen News and Reviews VILLAGE THEATRE Peter B. Kyne's story, "The Golden Strain," will be the feature attraction at the Village theatre next Monday and Tuesday, March 22 and 23. This colorful story, starring Madge Bellamy, Kenneth Harlan, Ann Pen- nington, Hobart Bosworth, Frank Mec- Glynn, Jr., Frank Beal and others, was filmed by Victor Schertzinger in the very heart of the locale once frequent- ed by some of the worst--and a few of the best--men who have figured in the making of the West. It is one of the best westerns which have ever been shown on the screen. There will also be a Hal Roach comedy, "Hurry, Doctor" and a Pathe news reel. On Wednesday only, "Rose of the World," starring Patsy Ruth Miller, Pauline Garon, Alan Forrest and Rock- liffe Fellows, will be shown. In addi- tion there will be an Aesop's Fable, "The Little Brown Jug," and a Pathe review. One of the best pictures of the year, from any standpoint. That is a terse description of "Lights of Old Broadway," Marion Davies' ini- tial starring Cosmopolitan production which will be seen Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March 25, 26 and 27. As is usual with Miss Davies' pic- tures, she gives us a lesson in the his- tory of America which makes us proud of being Americans. This time she has chosen the colorful and romantic sev- enties when New York was changing from a straggling overgrown town to a modern metropolis. The story is a much-changed screen adaptation of Laurence Eyre's "Merry Wives of Gotham," but the change has been for the better. In addition to the feature picture there will be a Harry Langdon comedy, pre Sea Squawk" and a Pathe news reel. HOYBURN THEATRE Louis has a role somewhat similar to his past performance in "His Sec- retary," the Hobart Henley produc- tion for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which is coming to the Hoyburn theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, March 22, 23 and 24. He essays the role of a middle-aged lawyer, who surronds himself with pretty stenographers, that is, until his wife finds out the state of affairs. Norma Shearer is starring in "His Secretary" with Lew Cody, and others in the cast are Mabel Van Buren, Karl Dane, Gwen Lee, Estelle Clark an Ernest Gillen. In "Rainbow Riley," Johnny Hines exhibits another side of his athletic prowess by his uncanny ability to throw the Australian boomerang. This feat is a most difficult one to master and it was only after persistent practice that the ingenious comedian was finally able to use it with sufficient proficiency in his latest First National production. which will be seen at the Hoyburn Thursday, Friday and Saturday. There will also be the usual comedy and news weekly. THE NEW EVANSTON Rex Beach, author of "Winds of Chance," which Frank Lloyd has pro- duced for the First National Pictures, with a cast including such famous play- ers as Anna Q. Nilsson, Viola Dana. Ben Lyon, Victor McLaglen, Hobart Bosworth and Claude Gillingwater, is regarded as the foremost writer of Alaskan literature. He participated in the famous gold rush of 1897 and 1898, of which he has written in "Winds of Chance," and since the Klondike boom has died down has made several trips into the interior of the northern territory in search of adventure about which to write. Beach's popularity and authority is best attested by the fact that he is the recipient of numerous signal honors be- stowed by Alaskan organizations and cubs, such as Sons and Daughters of the Frozen North, the Artic Club, Artic 3rotherhood and Alaskan Club, com- posed of pioneers and residents of Alaska. "Winds of Chance," which the author declares to be the most accurately pro- duced Alaskan story, is to be shown at the New Evanston theatre, beginning next Monday, March 22. In addition there will be a comedy and news weekly. Offer Advice to War Veterans on Insurance Matter Thursday night, March 25, an oppor- tunity will be offered to all ex-service men and women to get first hand infor- mation regarding the advantages of converting or reinstating their Govern- ment insurance. On that night, through the courtesy of Evanston Post No. 42 of the Amer- ican Legion, an open meeting will be held at Post headquarters, 1709 Benson avenue, Evanston, which will be ad- dressed by Captain Dickson, insurance expert of the Veterans' Bureau of Chi- cago, who will explain how anyone who was in the service can take advantage of the "insurance at cost" which the Government is offering. "No man in this age should need to be convinced that life insurance is de- sirable," - the legion leaders declare. "Every World war service man should know that the Government can give him as good insurance as he can get from any private company and at much lower premiums. "Only thirteen more weeks remain to take advantage of this liberal offer from Uncle Sam, for at midnight, July 2, 1926, the opportunity will forever cease. Do not delay, but get the facts now, as there will be an awful conges- tion the last few weeks." Mrs. C. W. Hubbard of 849 Foxdale avenue departed March 17, to spend a few days in Lexington, Ky. oo Q Newell & Retchin HOWAR] The House of Harmony Continuous Every Dav--2:15 to 11:15 N. W.

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God Eye Village Theatre | Your Home Theatre J. B.
