~~ February 19, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 35 At the Movies VILLAGE THEATRE "Winners of the Wilderness," a his- torical romance, featuring Tim McCay and loan Crawford, will be shown at the Village theatre Monday and Tues- day, February 21 and 22. The story 'is laid against a bagck- ground of battle of supremacy between French and English for the great wil- derness country of America in the mid- dle of the Eighteenth Century. One of the high spots is the massacre of Brad- dock's legions during the ill-fated march on Fort Duquesne. "Sparrows," Mary Pickford's newest photoplay, bids fair to duplicate "Little Annie's" success. It is brimful of com- edy and human interest that is bound to please those who did not care for "Our Mary" in pretentious costume dramas. "Sparrows" is the story of a baby farm, harboring nine wistful scraps of humanity who at the mercy of a flinty-hearted old villain and his half-crazed wife. The children range in age from mere babies to "Mama Mollie," a girl of twelve, whose heart yearns over the unfortunate little waifs. It will be shown Wednesday, Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday, in connec- tion with "Alaskan Adventures," a Pathe Review, news reel and comedy. THE GRANADA Tense dramatic incidents, with an underlying strain of comedy and the graphic portrayal of desert develop- ment join to make Henry King's film "The Winning of Barbara Worth," which comes to the Granada theater next week, one of the outstanding photoplays of the year. Filmed on the arid Black Rock des- ert, the story unfolds a world of en- tertaining and educational features be- Varsity this weekend, the picture, "Johnny Get Your Hair Cut," making a great hit with old and young. What is described as "the most hu- manly comic picture to have its in- centive in the tragedy of war," "We're in the Navy Now," will open at the Varsity Monday. Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton take the leads. Mae Murray in "Altars of Desire," supported by a good cast, will ap- pear there when the bill changes Wednesday. Conway Tearle has the masculine lead and Robert Edeson is a member of the cast. THE NORSHORE Dolores Costello, radiant Warner Brothers' star, has her most dramatic role in "The Third Degree," directed by Michael Curtiz, and coming to the Norshore theater next Sunday. This adaptation of Charles Klein's famous melodrama tells of the strange intermingling of two families--one list- ed prominently in the social register of New York and the other the almost nameless carnival folk. Young romance, mysterious murder, the carefree joys of the circus tent, blackmail and the grilling of "the third degree" all figure prominently in Miss Costello's fifth screen appearance since her memor- able debut in "The Sea Beast." Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Weissenberg of 965 Elm street left Winnetka Monday, February 14, on an extended trip of six or seven weeks, through the South, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Sheahan of Highland Park, Ill. They are planning on going to St. Peters- burgh, Fla., Key West and Cuba. They will return to Florida and come north along the eastern coast. --O-- Joseph O'Hearn of East Chicago, Ind., spent the day Sunday, Feb- ruary 13, with his sister, Mrs. Joseph Olsen of 983 Elm street.
