-- : ud rr April 3, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 41 Stage and Screen News and Reviews VILLAGE THEATRE If you belong to the elder genera- tion, you can recall the sensation caused by the disasterous flood that destroyed Johnston and its neighbor- ing villages. If you are too young to remember this historic event, you have heard others recount some of its ghastly details and inspiring heroisms. In any case you will want to see the tremendous film production which William Fox is presenting in "The Johnstown Flood." This picture will be at the Village theatre next Monday and Tuesday, Aprl 5 and 6. Added at- tractions will be a Charlie Chase comedy, "Charlie, My Boy," and a Pathe news reel. On Wednesday and Thursday, April 7 and 8, the feature attraction will be "His Jazz Bride," from the story "The Flapper Wife." The two stars of this film are Marie Prevost and Matt Moore. There will also be a Hal Roach comedy, "Pay the Cashier" and a Pathe review. On Friday and Saturday, April 9 and 10 the main picture will be "Rainbow Riley," the latest starring vehicle of Johnny Hines. An interesting fact in connection with this picture is that, as a play under the title, "The Cub." it served as the last legitimate stage piece of Douglas Fairbanks prior to his en- tering pictures. Those who have already seen "Rain- bow Riley" state that Johnny is at his best in this tale of a cub reporter who is sent to the Kentucky mountains to report a feud. Arriving there, he is immediately immersed into a barrel of trouble, and it takes all his ingenuity to get out with his skin whole. There will also be a Buster Brown and Tige comedy, "Buster's Nose Dive," "In the Spider's Grip," a Fable in natural colors, and a Pathe news reel. HOYBURN THEATRE "Under Western Skies," an Edward Sedgwick-Universal-Jewel production, is to be screened at the Hoyburn theatre next Monday and Tuesday. This great picture of the East and 'West has been given an all-star cast. Some of it was filmed at Universal City, California, part of it in New York City and the greater part of it in and about Pendleton, Oregon. "No one in the world is so loyal as the screen fan." This is the rather touching statement of Charles Ray, screen star, who pays a heartfelt tribute to picturegoers, far and near, who have proved his friends in time of adversity. "Many people are under the impres- sion that the public is disloyal to screen players," he says, "especially if financial difficulties overtake them. "But it is an inspiration and consola- tion to know that this is not true. Never in my life have I received so many kind letters from screen fans as now, when I have lost practically every earthly possession through a misguided venture into the realm of independent produc- tion." During the making of "The Auction Block," which is coming to the Hoy- burn on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturady, several hundred letters a~-ived daily at the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer studios. Miss Eleanor Board- man is featured with Ray in this Hobart Henley picture. The actor's misfortune arose recently, through his independent attempt to make pictures after his own ideals, which wiped away his entire fortune. He is beginning all over again, working for a salary to pay off the debts of his THE NEW CAMPUS The largest motion picture set ever constructed and the greatest number of persons ever used for one scene in an American made motion picture are two of the outstanding features of "The Wanderer," famous Biblical spectacle, which Raoul Walsh directed for Para- mount, and comes to the New Campus theater next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The scene which is that of an un- named Biblical city, was built in the foot-hills of Santa Monica California, and covers many hundred acres of ground. More than two hundred car- penters and scores of technical assist- ants were at work for more than three weeks constructing the hundred mas- sive buildings and walls for the set. For the scene depicting the destruc- tion of the city by earthquake and fire, thousands of actors were used as well as hundreds of lions, tigers, elephants and camels. The cast of "The Wanderer" includes the most distinguished acting talent in the motion picture industry. Among the featured players are listed such names as Ernest Torrence, William Collier, Jr., Wallace Beery, Tyrone Power, Greta Nissen and Kathlyn Wil- liams. Other players in the spectacle include Kathryn Hill, George Rigas, Holmes Herbert, Snitz Edwards, Lionel Brahm, Sojin and Duke Kahanamoku. On Thursday and Friday the feature attraction will be "Miss Brewster's Mil- lions," with Bebe Daniels, and on Sat- urday "The Tough Guy," will be shown. In addition there will be the usual comedies and news events. THE NEW EVANSTON No heavyweight champion boxer ever trained more earnestly for a bat- tle in defense of his title than Rich- ard Dix trained to prepare himself physically for the role of the Indian hero in "The Vanishing American," Zane Grey's epic of the red man which will be shown beginning next Monday, April 5, at the New Evans- ton theatre. As soon as the star received word that he was to play the part of Nophaie he began a training siege so severe as to make the fall grind of a college fullback resemble a vacation by comparison. For weeks he devoted practically eight hours daily to boxing, Newell & Retchin HOWARD] The House of Harmony Continuous Every Day--2:15 to 11:15 N. W.

Sher- man refers to the telephone as the housewife's first protection against loneliness. "Most housewives," says Mrs. Sher- man, "are willing to endure toil and actual physical labor patiently and cheerfully. It is not the drudgery of her lot, but rather it is the monotony from which she seeks escape. That escape is provided to a large extent by the automobile, the telephone, the talk- ing machine and the radio." Mrs. Village Theatre Your Home Thaztr- J. ©. nvpper.

Of the modern homemaker, Mrs. Sherman says: "She does not mind washing stacks of supper dishes under the glow of an electric globe but, the task doubles or trebles if she must de | it by the smoky, dim light from kero- sene lamp. She does not mind sweep- ing if at the end of the task she can chat via the telephone with a neighbor five miles away and she will beat rugs for an hour--if the evening brings the relaxation of an automobile drive."
