November 28, 1925 WINNETKA TALK ol Stage and Screen News and Reviews VILLAGE THEATRE Raymond Griffith, he of the million dollar personality and shiny "topper," has been elevated to stardom by the folks who turn over their hard-earned money at the box-office, and he's sure to vindicate the confidence the fans have in him with his first comedy as a full-fledged Paramount star-- "He's a Prince!" portraying the life of a young European Prince during his working hours. What with review- ing parades, laying corner stones. christening ships, judging baby con- tests and a hundred and one other equally silly things, a son of royalty, contrary to the general belief, it not a gentleman of leisure. Actually he js 2 young man leading a mighty hectic life. "He's a Prince" will be shown at the Village theatre Monday and Tuesday, November 30 and December 1. There will also be a Mermaid comedy, "Go- ing Great" and a Pathe news reel. At the Tuesday matinee only, Chapter 2 of the serial "Wild West" will be shown. Wednesday and Thursday, Decem- ber 2 and 3, the feature picture will be "Thunder Mountain," taken from John Golden's stage success, with Madge Bellamy and an all-star cast. A Van Bibber comedy, "The Wrestler" fod a Pathe review will complete the bill. In "Seven Keys to Baldpate," the famous George M. Cohan comedy in which Douglas MacLean will be seen Friday, and Saturday, December 4 and 5, the comedian plays the role of a young novelist who seeks the solitude of Baldpate Inn to write a novel in 24 hours. A band of crooks seek the Inn at the same time. Gunplay, near- murder and general pandemonium en- sue. HOYBURN THEATRE Adolphe Menjou comes to the Hoyburn theatre on Monday next as At the Hoyburn Johnny Hines in, "The Live Wire* the star of the Monta Bell-Paramount production, "The King on Main, Street," written for the screen by Douglas Doty from Leo Ditrichstein's New York stage hit, "The King." Greta Nissen and Bessie Love are featured opposite the star. "The King on Main Street" is the culmination of a dream of years of both Monta Bell and the star. It is a perfect role for Menjou. He has the temperament, the air of sophisti- cation, the finished type of acting necessary for it. He had his heart set upon making this one of his greatest efforts. And, occording to all advance reports, he has more than succeeded. This picture will be shown Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The re- mainder of the week will be devoted to Johnny Hines in "The Live Wire." C a propucen sy HAROLD LLOYD corrorarion A PATHE PICTURE NEW CONTINUOUS FROM 1:30 TO 11 P. M. STARTING MONDAY, NOV. 30 Harold Lloyd' The FRESHMAN P U The last word in screen entertainment is coming to this theatre next week, and it is with pride that we doff our advertising hat to Harold Lloyd, the artist whose achievement has made it necessary for us to search the dictionary for words of description-- then find them all inade- quate! "The Freshman" is his Finest Achievement! Mer- riment, Speed, Laughter, Thrills--Woven into a Wonderful Song of Youth and Played on the Heart- strings with an Obligato of Tears. I'his is one of Johnny's latest and greatest. THE NEW EVANSTON Though a new note is sounded in the showing of Charlie Chaplin's new nine- reel comedy feature photoplay, "The Gold Rush," described as the greatest of all Chaplin comedies--the public will ee also the Chaplin tricks that have put this picture star in a class entirely by himself. "The Gold Rush," a United Artists Corporation release, which is scheduled as the feature attraction for the New FEvanton theatre next Monday, is de- cribed by those who have seen it as 'ar and away the best piece of work Chaplin has ever done; and by far, the funniest. It also presents a biographic sym- bolization of the real Charlie Chaplin; his life from the days of an unknown to the best known man in the world is portrayed between a range of deep Village Theatre | Your Home Theatre J.

A new note in comedy dramatics is sounded; an advanced departure in character portrayal and delineation is revealed with Chaplin in "The Gold Rush." But, in addition, there is the Charlie of old--the Charlie of the little derby, the trick cane, the baggy trousers, the little mustache, the sloppy shoes and the funny walk. All of Chaplin, and a lot more, is to be found in this new picture. Newell & Retchin The House of Harmony HOWARD Continuous Every Day--2:15 to 11:15 N. W.
