December 18, 1926 WINNETKA TALK Stage and Screen News and Reviews THE NORSHORE Milton Sills is said to be one screen star who can turn to any type of role and play it successfully. He is not limited to any particular kind of story or characterization, and has appeared in perhaps more different types of role than any other player on the screen. In his new picture, the screen ver- sion of Cosmo Hamilton's novel, "Para- dise," which comes to the Norshore theater Sunday, he will bring still an- other Sills to the screen. In "Paradise," Sills steps forth as a | devil-may-care, irresponsible, London man-about-town ; the wastrel son of an English earl. It is a role entirely dif- ferent from anything he has ever done before. He 1s seen at his gayest moments as a flier in the Royal Air service, as a member of an ex-officers'" band which plays upon the streets of London with Sills as chief collector of contributions, as the driver of a hotel sight-seeing automobile and finally as King of Paradise Island in the South Seas, where he and Betty Bronson take their fadeout with a lifetime of happiness in front of them. THE HOYBURN "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," in the opinion of critics and public one of the best plays ever filmed, is on the screen for this week-end at the Hoyburn theater. It brought the late Rudolph Valentino to fame, the star playing opposite Alice Terry and doing some of his par-ex- cellent work. An enormous cast was recruited for the great feature. With the change of bill Monday the showing will be "The Popular Sin," starring Florence Vidor and featuring Greta Nissen in the supporting cast. THE NEW EVANSTON "Stepping Along," a tale of New York politics and show life, featuring Mary Brian and the chorus of the "Scandals," is the offering this week at the New Evanston theater. It stars Johnny Hines, and in the supporting cast is Dan Mason, who is over 80 vears of age. Mr. Mason has been starred under practically every Broad- way manager and has created many amusing characterizations on the screen. He has appeared with Johnny Hines in several of his previous comedies. THE CAMPUS Jetta Goudal in "Her Man o War," her initial starring vehicle, is on the screen now at the Campus theater, with William Boyd playing opposite the star. A story of circus life, "Spangles," will come to the screen there Saturday, featuring Charlie Becker, a dwarf ac- tor. Hobart Bosworth, Gladys Brock- well and others are in the cast. "The Return of Peter Grimm," the screen version of David Belasco's famed stage play, will come to the Campus next Monday and Tuesday. The lead- ing role is played by Alec B. Francis. VILLAGE THEATRE "The Duchess of Buffalo," which will be presented at the Village thea- tre next Monday and Tuesday, is a splendid comedy drama in which Con- stance Talmadge, masquerading as a grand duchess in Russia, appears at her best and again demonstrates her flair for scintillating comedy and fast acting romance. It is said to be Con- nie's greatest success, better even than her triumphant "Sister from Paris." "Gigolo," starring Rod La Rocque, is a thrilling picture with the late war as a background. The story deals with an American aviator, who becomes a | dancing man in the cafes of Paris, his European complexed mother and the girl. It is taken from a story by Edna Ferber, of the same name, and repre- sents one of the best of the season's productions. It will be shown on Wed- nesday only. "Laddie," taken from Gene Stratton- Porter's monumental epic is to be pre- sented on Friday and Saturday and is one of the finest love stories ever filmed. Few pictures of recent years are as interesting or as well made; fewer still have that rare spirit of sympathy and deep understanding that so marked Mrs. Porter's books. It is indeed a masterpiece. Single programs will be given on | Christmas eve and Christmas day ma- tinee, starting at 7:30 and 3 o'clock respectively. The regular schedule will be resumed for Christmas night. Wilmette Realty Broker in Big Chicago Transfer E. C. Phillips, Wilmette real estate operator, represented the seller, and Farle Shilton Realty company, the buyer, in the sale of property for what is considered the highest price per front foot ever paid on East Pearson street, Chicago, adjacent to the Drake hotel. The new buyers, who comprise a syndicate, plan to make extensive improvements on the property.
