In it Al and his Jazz Col- legians are to glorify everything mod- ern. T'here will be new faces, new tunes, new arrangements and new steps. Everything that is calculated to be extremely modernistic will be on the program. Al and his Jazz Col- legians have been working on this one for some time and they promise that this will be the hottest and peppiest stage show that they have as yet pre- sented at the Norshore theater. As- sisting Al Kvale in this show are the Collette Sisters; Ross and Gilbert: Dufor Bros., and the popular songster, Frank Sylvano, who has been held over for an extra week's engagement by the numerous requests of his north shore admirers. Topping this splen- did cast are Gould's Modernistic Maids. "Smile, Brother, Smile," a Jack Mul- hall, Dorothy Mackail comedy, will be presented as the feature film attrac- tion. With such a comedy team, the picture is, naturally, a splendid pro- duction. COMMUNITY HOUSE Larry Semon in "Spuds" will be pre- sented as the feature film at the Win- netka Community House on Tuesday. October 11. On the following Friday, "The Poor Nut," a farce comedy of college life with Jack Mulhall in the leading role, will be presented.

Celebrates Fifth Y ear ANAGER J. B. Kopple of the Vil- lage theater will celebrate his fifth year as managing director of the Wil- mette movie house on the twentieth of next month. During this period of his directorship the Village has estab- lished a reputation throuhout the north shore for the high standards in pictures it has maintained and has known an increasingly splendid patron- age. Mr. Kopple has been a theater man- ager for over 18 years. He was form- erly the manager of the Riviera, hav- ing opened it for Balaban and Katz a number of years ago. At the present time he is the booking agent for four theaters in addition to the Village, two of them in Chicago's loop and two oth- ers in out-lying districts. He is also the booking agent for a number of Country clubs and Chicago hotels dur- ing their seasons. In a little chat the other day--you might say over the "celluloid"--Joe told me that his acquaintanceship onl the north shore has been of the most enjoyable that he has known. "The co-operation that we have received from the people," he said," has been most generous and we certainly have appreciated it." By the way, the above picture is one that you haven't had before. Better add it to vour collection. It's a Different Margery Williams in "Miss Bluebeard" The curtain went up (naturally) on the first act of "Little Miss Bluebeard" down at the New Evanston the other night and forthwith placed the burden upon us of discovering just why Avery Hopwood didn't say "Mister" instead of "Miss." Avery, as you know, wrote "Little Miss Bluebeard." The opening bell of the play brought to light Ernest Woodward as Larry Charters sitting at a piano in his studio composing another new song with which to disturb the tranquility of the publishers and to produce more gray hairs upon the heads of over- worked orchestra directors. The phone rings and we learn that Larry may be a confirmed bachelor but that it isn't because 'he isn't learned in the divers ways of "femina fickela." The en- dearing terms that Larry bestows upon the wife of another man are positively original but his great re- sourcefulness is not really displayed until Eva Winthrop, still another man's wife, blows in and gives Larry just cause for worry. Eva is, to say the least, piqued and Larry has to use considerable resourcefulness to pre- vent her from departing from the apartment and the universe via Larry's front window. You may thus gather that Larry has many "friends. Just after Larry has managed to get Eva safely to the ground floor where she cannot wreck the pavement and thus create a case for the police, Larry's friend Bob, arrives precipitate- ly on the scene and informs him that he (Bob) has married a little French girl under Larry's name and that as he already has one wife, Larry will have to take her off of his hands. Larry is not interested until he sees the girl. The farce goes on amid riots and near riots caused by jealous wives and more jealous husbands, until finally just before the fade-out for a wedding and a real honeymoon, Larry learns that it has been all a joke pulled on him by his friends but Larry is too far on the "road to romance" to be stopped by a little thing like that. Hence the bells and the train tickets that follow, according to the story, the final curtain. What do I say? Well done! Mar- gery Williams is a new Margery in "Little Miss Bluebeard." Sings like a lark and draws down a genuine call for an encore. Ernest Woodward is as usual, "all on the job." Gene Claren- don--Ilikewise.
