= WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1925 15 HERE AND THERE ON STAGE AND Neighboring Theaters THE NEW EVANSTON Douglas Macl.ean has taken another leaf from Shakespeare's note book. In his new comedy, "Introduce Me," coming to the New Evanston theatre Monday, the star personally super- vised each detail of production, from the selection of the story to the cut- ting and titling of the finished picture. This is a typically Shakespearean method. The great English play- wright wrote his plays, selected the cast and directed the actors, thus branding his famous tragedies and comedies with his own personality and achieving undying fame. But so great is the scope of the mo- tion picture of today that few have sufficient knowledge of the various de- partments to give the true Shake- spearean touch to a photoplay. Pic- tures made with one man in complete charge, however, are said to have a synchronization of story, acting and directing, which the combined work of several men cannot achieve. Shake- speare established for all time the truth of this great axiom and neither the stage nor the screen has ever success- fully broken away from it. Douglas MacLean selects his own starring vehicles. He supervises the work of his scenario department, and also takes a hand in the direction of the picture. He has the last word in titling and editing of the film. It is a far cry from William Shake- speare to Douglas MacLean, but both have applied the same principle to their work. And it has been said of the world's greatest dramatist that he would have made a much better mo- tion picture scenarist and director than a playwright, had the witchery of mo- tion picture photography been intro- duced three centuries ago. VILLAGE THEATRE Flashing on the heels of that epic of the Great West, "The Thundering Herd," comes another powerful Zane Grey story, in which are woven the might, the romance and the outlawry of frontier struggle, "The Light of Western Stars," directed by William K. Howard, the man who produced "The Thundering Herd." Jack Holt, Noah Beery and Billie Dove are the stars of this film, which 1s coming to the Village theatre Mon- day and Tuesday, July 27 and 28. A Larry Semon comedy, "The Dome Doctor," and a Pathe news reel will complete the program. Wednesday and Thursday the feature attraction will be "Grounds for Di- vorce. Florence Vidor, Matt Moore and Louise Fazenda, screen comedienne, are featured in the leading roles of the production, written for the screen by Violet Clark from Ernest Vajda's Broadway stage success of the same name, which in turn was adapted by Guy Bolton. "Head On," an Educational comedy, a Pathe review and a Grantland Rice Sportlight will also be shown. _ Richard Dix will be seen Friday and Saturday in his latest picture, "The Shock Punch," from a story which ap- peared in Liberty magazine. The story, adapted for the screen by Luther Reed, has to do with a young man who has lightning in his fists and brings Dix to the screen as a son of wealthy parents who takes up boxing to keep from getting "soft" and becomes a steel worker to prove to his lady friend that he's "got the goods." There will also be a comedy, "Sit Tight," and a Pathe news reel. SCREEN THE NEW CAMPUS We in the so-called civilized world yoint with disgust and loathing to other yeoples who have not yet reached the modern social development that is the structure of our lives. We call them savages and deplore their traditions that have been the basis of their happy healthful lives through countless gener- ations. And we fail to see--or refuse to recognize--the greater savagery that exists around us. ka 2 Marriage is the fundamental insti- 'ution of the modern civilization, and vet, there is to-day a marriage market iust as base as any slave market of an Sider world. Wives and husbands are bought and sold as any property. Social alliances are planned with the same strategy that has characterized diplo- matic marriages. American fathers are buying titled husbands for socially ambitious debutantes. Bestial self- centered men are buying beauty and zetting loveless wives. : A true picture of the marriage as it actually exists to-day provides much 5i the tense drama that has provided [ionel Barrymore's newest screen vehicle with a true social significance that characterizes far too few photo- slays. Chadwick Pictures Corpora- tion, producers of "A Man of Iron which picture will be seen at the New Campus theatre for two days com- mencing Monday, has treated this im- portant theme with a commendable fearlessness. Next Wednesday, the New Campus theatre will offer a film called "Wom- an and Gold" featuring Frank Mayo, Svlvia Breamer, William Davidson. Frankie Darrow and directed by James P. Hogan. It is said to be a most unusual, ex- ;iting, intense romance. 3 "Gold and the Girl" is the William Fox photoplay to be shown next Sat- urday at the New Campus. It is a sicture of life west of the Rocky Mountains, and stars Buck Jones, the oopular cowboy actor. ; Edmund Mortimer, who is responsi- ble for a number of Fox pictures of this type, directed this picture from an original scenario by John Stone. El- inor Fair has the leading feminine role, and the cast includes Bruce Gor- don, Claude Peyton, Lucien Littlefield and Alphonz Ethier, as well as a re- markable new canine actor called Pal Silver Buck, the famous white horse of the Jones films, again figures in dar- ing races and rescues. THE HOWARD Sunday, July 26, the Howard will show a film entitled "Three Keys" and featuring Virginia Lee Corbin, Stuart Holmes and Jack Mulhall. "Just A Woman" will be the feature attraction on Monday and Tuesday with Conway Tearle, Percy Marmont and Claire Windsor as stars. Elsie Ferguson and Frank Mayo are featured players in "The Unknown Lover", which will be the attraction at the north limits' theatre next Wed- nesday and Thursday. The week-end attraction at the How- ard for next Friday and Saturday will be a film called "The White Desert" with Claire Windsor and Pat O'Malley featured. An Our Gang comedy "Love Bug" will also be shown. THE HOYBURN Next week at the Hoyburn will be shown official government motion pic- tures of "The World Flight" under the auspices of the Lieut. Carl O. Rose- quist Post, No. 555, Veterans of For- eign Wars. It is said to show the history of avia- tion from the first Curtis and Wright brothers' planes. Also the complete story of the epic making trip of our American planes around the World. [t is endorsed by Mayor Charles H. Bartlett of Evanston.

The outdoor scenes of this thrilling western drama were made at Kern- ville, California, which is in the heart of the Sierra Madras Mountains. The trail they followed was covered with two feet of snow and the thermometer touched 10 and 12 below zero each morning before breakfast. To add to this, the only heat in the hotel where the group was quartered was a small gas stove in the office. If anyone thinks all California is a land of continuous summer, Buck Jones would be glad to enlighten them. GENTLEMAN ACTS "WEASEL" To see Greer, the desert "Weasel," skulking through "Gold and the Girl," you would never guess that he is a Southern gentleman, born in Rich- mond, Virginia. To observe his bent shoulders, his shaking hands and his furtive, irresolute manner, is to doubt that he received his early education at Staunton Military Academy--yet he did. But that's because he's a real actor, who knows how to throw himself into his part so completely that his own personality is submerged. Lucien Littlefield, who plays the Greer role, studied dramatic art at one of New York's best schools, and after that took the intensive training that a stock com- pany gives in San Antonio, Texas. DOUG SOME CLIMBER Douglas Maclean does a lot of mountain climbing in his new picture, "Infroduce Me." One of his technical staff has figured out that he would have | @ conquered Mount Everest twice over if all his climbing had been stretched into one straight line.
