WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1925 18 HERE AND THERE ON STAGE AND SCREEN Neighboring Theaters THE NEW CAMPUS Next week, beginning Monday, Au- gust 17, the New Campus will cel- ebrate with Double Attraction Week. Monday and Tuesday, "Smooth as Satin" and "Ridin' Wild," will be the features; Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, "Barriers Burned Away" and "Now or Never" will be attractions; Saturday "The Wild Bull's Lair" will be shown. The story of a coward who becomes a man when the "big test" comes along is told in the Universial photoplay of the West, "Ridin' Wild," which will present Edward (Hoot) Gibson in a starring role at the New Campus theatre on next Monday and Tuesday. Roy Myers is the author, Nat Ross the director, Edna Murphy the leading woman. "Smooth as Satin" also to be at the New Campus on Monday and Tuesday, is an adaptation by Arthur Statter of Bayard Veiller's famous stage play "The Chatterbox." It gives Miss Brent a splendid role, which she in- terprets even more skillfully than usually, and that is saying a lot when one remembers that dramatic acting is her forte with particular emphasis on crook melodrama. "Now or Never," which will be shown Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day at the New Campus, is a Travel- Lloyd. A Pullman car is the back- ground for laughs that come with ev- ery turn of the Ilocomotive's drive wheel. Lloyd travels under the train, where he has a thrilling fight with a tramp; on top of the train when it comes to a tunnel, and in the train. He encounters all the inconveniences of a crowded washroom and of a Pull- man berth. The presentation at the New Cam- pus theatre next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of "Barriers Burned Away," a story of the great Chicago fire, adapted by Leah Baird from the novel by E. P. Roe, will serve to ma. terially increase the screen's fast ex- panding library of famous characters of historical interest. Prominent among these are the mer- chant prince, Marshall Field; one of America's foremost hotel owners, Pot- ter Palmer; and the famous chief of the Union's Secret Service during the Civil War, Allan Pinkerton. Riding a magnificent white horse, Silver King, like the soughing wind which sweeps resistlessly over the cat- tle country, Fred Thomson dashes to new heights of action and drama in his latest F. B. O. production, "The Wild Bull's Lair," which will be shown at the New Campus theatre on next Saturday. THE HOYBURN No star has made such steady prog- ress on the screen as Richard Barthel- mess, who comes to the Hoyburn thea- tre on Monday in his newest produc- tion, "Soul Fire," adapted from Martin Brown's drama, "Great Music." S a star, Barthelmess has been shrewd enough to realize that he should always try something new. No two roles ever played by this young star have been alike. He has no intention, as he himself says, of getting into a screen rut. Fach new role must be different from the last. "Soul Fire" provides a brand new type of part, a young musical genius seeking to find himself. First of all, he is distinctly an American, although his search to express himself carries him from Italy to Paris, from Port Said to the South Seas. The role of Eric Fane, the young composer of "Soul Fire," has been pro- nounced by critics to be Barthelmess' best acting role thus far, Romance, brightened with charmingly served up by a stellar cast of favorites, and set midst magnificent surroundings, is what film-goers may expect to see when they visit the Hoy- urn next week, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, where a new Paramount pro- duction, "In the Name of Love," will be the chief film piece de resistance. The early development of the plot finds Cortez returning to his native France after many years of residence in America. Not love of country but love of a girl, his pretty boyhood sweet- heart, has drawn the thoroughly Americanized Frenchman back to the provincial town where he was born. Disillusionment follows when he dis- covers that the passing years have changed Greta from a lovable, unaf- fected personality to a wealthy and snobbish beauty, whose social ambi- tions are centered on marrying a title. Tempted at first to leave, he finally decides to stay and win her love back, . Needless to say he does that very thing, and it is the means he uses to accomplish his object--by masquer- ading as the Prince of Como--that pro- vide most of the thrills and laughs in the picture. humor, ----tl ZTE THE VILLAGE THEATRE Weber and Fields, the favorite comedians of America for more than a quarter of a century, are now making their screen debut in an Edward Belas- co production, "Friendly Enemies," a recent Broadway success written by Aaron Hoffman and Samuel Shipman. While their parts call for dramatic act- ing they leave the comedians, neverthe- less, a wide berth for rollicking fun- making and delightful humor of the kind for which they have been famous for almost half a century. It is the story of two German- Americans, bosom friends, who are continually fighting over the war. When America enters the conflict the arguments grow white hot and the two often come almost to the point of blows. From this point the plot speeds on to a thrilling climax, which we will let you see for yourselves. This pic- ture will be shown Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 17, 18 and 19 at the Village theatre, together with an Aesop Fable comedy, "Wine, Wom- en and Song", and a Pathe news reel. "I'll Show You The Town", from El- mer Davis' humorous story of the same name will be shown the latter part of the week, Thursday, Friday and Satur- day. The story is a "scream." Alec Dupree, a sprucy young col- lege professor, played by Reginald Denny, bears the reputation of being the "safest" and "most dependable" man in the metropolis. His reputation only serves to get him into and out of constant trouble. Three women each unknown to the other, seek Alec to act as their guide and escort through the town to which Alec glibly gives his promise. The women include a wealthy widow, his neighbor's wife, and a beau- tiful girl from the "West." Each of the women wish to be entertained at the renowned "Hanging Gardens Cafe." Alec, always willing, the trait which gets him into all the trouble, obliges them all and actually succeeds in din- ing with three women at the same cafe. THE NEW EVANSTON The Red Sea and San Francisco are about 5000 miles apart. The Israelites led by Moses on their exodus from ligypt are separated by about 40 cen- turies from Sunday afternoon jazz dancing today. Yet, Cecil. B. DeMille has managed to put them together con- vincingly in his picturization of "The Ten Commandments." This great Paramount picture is coming to the New Evanston theatre on Monday, where it will be shown for the first time at popular prices. The modern story opens on a de- vout mother driving one of her two sons from home because he will not "apologize to God," for what she be- lieves sacrilege. 'I'he son goes out into the world, not bitterly, but boyishly exultant, to smash every command- ment. Then DeMille develops his theme that "if you try to break the Ten Commandments they'll break you." A gorgeous Biblical episode, done in natural colors, is enacted by such popu- lar players as Estelle Taylor, Theodore Roberts, James Neill, Charles de Roche, and Lawson Butt. The 2,000,000 per- sons who have paid from one to two dollars to sce this greatest of Para- mount Pictures testify that the high- est point the cinema art has vet reached, has been achieved in this most ambitious directorial effort of Cecil B. DeMille, THE HOWARD Next Sunday, August 16, the Howard theatre will have for the one day only a film called "Rangers of the Big Pines" featuring Kenneth Harlan. Clara Bow, Herbert Rawlinson and Farle Williams are the featured play- ers in the new Encore picture, "The "Adventurous Sex," which will be the attraction at the Howard theatre next Monday and Tuesday, but the cast in- cludes other well-known names as well, among the most prominent being Harry T. Morey and Flora Finch. "The Adventurous Sex" is an ultra modern story of the young generation and Miss Bow, perhaps the screen's best known flapper, has the part of an adventurous young thing who, tiring of parental interference and a con- New Campus COOL AND REFRESHING Fountain Square Evanston Con. from 1:30 to 11 P.

Her striving for freedom brings about a very embarrassing situation and puts her in a bad light with the man she really loves, but who, for the present at least, seemed en- tirely too straight-laced to suit her. On Wednesday and Thursday a film entitled "Daughters Who Pay" will be the feature at the Howard. Ben Lyons has always wanted a screen wedding. He has often been a "married man," but without the trim- mings. But not until "The Necessary Evil," in which he is to be seen with Viola Dana in their latest First Na- tional feature at the Howard theatre next week, Friday and Saturday, did he get his wish. And after he got it he didn't want it. You see, it was wished onto him. A wild party is raided in a roadhouse. The officers are told .that it is not a party, but a wedding. So they sit by to make certain it is, and Ben had to take a college "widow" for his bride. "The Necessary Evil" is an adapta- tion of Stephen Vincent Benet's maga- zine story, "Uriah's Son."
