\¥ February 12, 1927 WINNETKA TALK "43 At the Movies VILLAGE THEATRE "The Perfect Sap," showing at the Village theatre Monday and Tuesday, is a comedy mystery drama featuring 3en Lyons and Pauline Stark. The | plot is taken from Howard Irving Young's "Not Herbert," which was staged in New Yor last year. Ben is cast as the weak-sister son of idle rich parents who becomes an amateur detective and goes sleuthing in the underworld. He captures a wife. Ad- vance notices indicate a successful pic- ture. "Syncopating Sue," coming on Wed- nesday and Thursday, is said to be one of Corrine Griffith's best pictures, even funnier than "Classified" and more gripping than "Into Her Kingdom." It is the tale of a piano pounding song- plugger in New York's Tin Pan Alley, whose main interests in life are her dreams of a stage career and her romance with a cabaret-trap-drummer. I'here is, according to reports, a gen- erous bit of good drama, deft comedy and sentiment, without an overdose of either. It looks good. "The Nervous Wreck," the Friday and Saturday contribution to the week's program, is based on the farce by Owen Davis which was shown recently on the legitimate stage. It is in all a big outdoor production and a comedy of the first order. The story, briefly, deals with a man who thinks himself a nervous wreck and goes west for his health. In the climax the "Wreck" has to fight for an opportunity to die in peace, whereupon he realizes that he has lost all of his maladies. The fight for Sally's hand becomes more exciting than thoughts of a decent burial. Mary Pickford's "Sparrows" and "We're in the Navy Now" are scheduled for an early appearance.

"The Potters," arriving at the Nor- | | shore theater Sunday, with W. C. | Fields starred as Pa, concerns itself | with the episode in which Pa becomes [interested in an oil deal. If you've [never read J. P. McEvoy's comic strip lor seen his play, it might be wise to say that "The Potters" are a family of average human, everyday Ameri- | cans. Pa is honest, blundering and am- | bitious. Ma loves her husband but | continually argues with him. Mamie | is eighteen and a flapper. Bill has | reached an age where he can sport | a cute little mustache. Nothing but laugh-provoking scenes follow on each other's heels. Ivy Har- ris and Mary Alden are featured in Mr. Field's support. Fred Newmeyer directed for Paramount.
