In other words, keep an ace up your sleeve! So says Colleen Moore, First Na- tional star of "Her Wild Oat," starting Sunday at the Norshore theater. Miss Moore doesn't advise fooling everybody all the time, but she does maintain that confidence in one's self very often means to bluff one's way through difficult situations. "There are times when we must pretend," says Colleen. "Sometimes we lack confidence in our ability to do certain things; but if we wear an armor of bluff, we generally can overcome obstacles." In "Her Wild Oat," the First Na- tional Picture, Miss Moore is proprie- tress of a diminutive lunch wagon, but she later pretends to be a duchess, and while the bluffing is an inoffensive game with her, she afterwards meets a real duke and actually becomes the character she had pretended to be. "Very often we arrive at our goal by pretending we are what we aren't but at the same time working with all our might to achieve the position," said Miss Moore. "Of course, if we are habitual bluf- fers or we exaggerate our importance to an offensive degree, we lose our friends and everything. But, as in eating or in dressing, we must use judgment." On the Norshore theater stage next week Al Kvale and his jazz collegians will be featured in "Varieties of 1928," a show packed with jazz and happiness, and with a star cast headed by Paul Small, Al's Buddy over at the Oriental theater. Margaret Fuller Is Riot as a Waitress in Cafe Comedy One more variation of Margaret Fuller's versatility as a leading lady is the making of this week's production of the Evanston Players. As the girl from Child's in the comedy-drama of that name, Miss Fuller dominates the stage despite the incongruous setting a Washington diplomatic family gives a "waitress person." : She chews gum in true professional manner, lets slang idioms roll off her tongue with the greatest possible ease and in general demonstrates her pro- ficiency in the mannerisms of a "bis- cuit shooter." The comic peak is reached in the first act with the verbal fisticuffs of Mary, the girl from Child's, and her supposed in-laws-- principally mother and sister--who were wished upon her by her mar- riage to the black sheep son of the family, Henry. Stanley, another Wood son, and Mr. Wood are sympathetic enough to make the stay in the Wood home half bearable, and under the former's tute- lage Mary starts to acquire polish. A social tutor finishes the process and things wind out to the best for Mary and the democratic son, Stanley. Charles George is back as the lead- ing man this week and repeated his fine playing of earlier productions. Rita Zane as the French maid de- serves a word for her best playing with the Evanston Players. And Bea- trice Leiblie and Ann Dere again proved themselves especially adept supporting characters--K.
