- -- a _ February 4, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Picture Reviews Raman Novarro in "Ben Hur" Coming to Teatro Monday "Ben Hur," that immortal tale of the Christ which over night estab- lished itself as one of the few books that will live throughout the centuries and for its writer, General Lew Wal- lace, a place of prominence among the great authors in the world's history, is to be presented in its screen version at Teatro del Lago on Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday of next week. There are few people who have not at some time read this dynamics story. Many have read it time and time again, But both those who have and have not read the book will find them- selves gripped by the stupendous power of this film. It is intense in its emotional depth; moving an audience to tears or joy or to that powerful combination of joy and sorrow that tears at the heart-strings, as the dra- matic story of the Christ and of Judah Ben Hur is unfolded. "Ben Hur" has been shown upon two continents and everywhere has been presented before packed houses. Critics have heralded it as one of the most powerful and beautiful produc- tions, from all standpoints, ever re- leased. Moreover, it is not only the largest production but the most costly one ever presented--including "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," "The Miracle," any circus enterprise, or any opera. Its cost was over $4,000,000. Ramon Novarro takes the title role and May McAvoy the role of Esther. Francis X. Bushman plays the part of Messala. "Almost Human," a DeMille pro- duction starring Vera Reynolds, will be presented this Saturday. Directed by Frank Urson, and written for the screen by Clara Beranger from a situation suggested by Richard Hard- ing Davis' novel, "The Bar Sinister," this is said to be a genuine screen novelty. "Underworld" has besn chosen for Sunday. With the notoriety that the picture has obtained through the writers in metropolitan journals in mind, it would almost be possible to drop a treatise. of it with just that statement. It should be sufficient at any rate to say that it is said to be a genuine treatise of the crime situa- tion and organization and was writ- ten by Ben Hecht. "Loves of Carmen" is the picture billed for Thursday. Dolores del Rio plays the title role in this film and is, one might say, typically herself. Vic- tor McLaglen plays the part of the matador while Don Alvarada plays the part of Jose, the soldier lover whom Carmen uses as her tool and ruins. "French Dressing" is said to be a vivacious comedy in which Lois Wil- son, Clive Brook and H. B. Warner are featured. It will be shown Friday. ADDRESSES DRAMA GROUP Miss Harriet Allen addressed the Dramatic club of New Trier High school Thursday, February 2, after school. The Dramatic club is made up of all those taking active part in one of the productions of that organization. Its next production will be two plays, the entire casts of which will be freshmen and sophomores. GLENCOE MOVIES Francis X. Bushman and Joan Craw- ford take the leading roles in "The Understanding Heart," the film to be presented at the Glencoe Union church next Friday. 030) a) a) a g¢ "Annie Laurie," Highland Fling at Community House One of the most appropriate and attractive programs ever arranged at Community House will be presented next Friday afternoon and evening in connection with the showing of "Annie Laurie," the historical film in which Lillian Gish takes the title role and which tells in an authentic man- ner the famous romantic Scotch story upon which it is based. The program, which will come as a prologue to the film, consists of Scotch dances ac- companied by bagpipes. It was ar- ranged by the North Shore British- American society at the instance of Burton H. Atwood, Jr., movie director at Community House. "Cheating Cheaters," with Kenneth Harlan and Betty Compson in the leading roles, is the feature produc- tion for Tuesday of the coming week.
