M. Norshore Presents "Now We're in the Air" Sunday Photograph a person in a speeding airplane and unless the plane passes clouds, or another plane, or the ground is in view there is no realiza- tion of speed or height. Wallace Beery and Raymond Hat- ton found that out. Under the direction of Frank Stray- er, they made "Now We're in the Air," which will be at the Norshore Theatre soon, their fourth Paramount team comedy. Their part of the discovery con- cerned them to the extent that every time they were photographed by the motion picture camera their plane was tilted in such a way that either the ground, low clouds, or another plane, "picked up" that is, was in the view. Al Kvale and his Jazz Collegians will be featured in a happy pirate production called "Captain Kiddo." Al's gang are going to be jazz pirates in a syncopating buccaneer show next week, and are going to divide their joy spoils equally among the patrons of the Norshore Theater. Among those on the Wellesley Spe- cial next Tuesday will be Miss Eliza- beth Richards, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. James Austin Richards of 739 Lincoln avenue, Winnetka. --_Q-- Mr. and Mrs. Dudley Bradstreet of 772 Walden road, spent the Christmas holidays with Mrs. Bradstreet's par- ents in Austin, Texas. --Starting Sunday-- Hot tunes on the high "Cs"!

DRAMA TO COMEDY Two Extremes Included in Pleasing Week's Billing for Village; Present "Garden of Allah" Monday Films ranging from the most intense drama to the opposite extreme of hi- larious comedy are included in next week's billing for the Village theater. The week's program will open with "The Garden of Allah," Rex Ingram's latest production, in which the famous director of "Mare Nostrum," "The Four Horsemen" and "Scaramouche" personally takes the leading role. "The Garden of Allah" is probably greatest from the standpoint of pho- tography--as all of Rex Ingram's pic- tures have been. It is filmed largely in the Sahara desert and one of the momentous scenes comes in the midst of a great sand storm. The plot is well developed and the work of Mr. Ingram and Alice Terry has received favorable comment from the critics throughout the country. The role of jealousy is reversed in "Tea for Three" and Lew takes the role of the "worried" husband instead of the "worried over" husband as in "Adam and Evil" and his other pic- tures of this type. It is a typical Lew Cody-Aileen Pringle picture with de- lightful comedy situations and many unusual twists. It will be presented Wednesday. Paramount's great film story of the Spanish-American war and of Theo- dore Roosevelt, "The Rough Riders," has been selected for Thursday and Friday. It is undoubtedly all that can be desired in clean, stimulating movies. It has realness of story, excellent di- rection, splendid photography and a superb cast. Of it the New York Daily News said, "A picture premiere last night afforded the most thrilling film fare since "Beau Geste." Village Theatre WILMETTE, ILL. J. B.
