With it will be shown a Fox Minturn Players Stage "Is Zat So" Next Week The Minturn company this week are presenting "Kongo," a story of: the tropics. This play is quite unlike' any- thing the company has done this sea- son. It is a bold sensational melo- drama but done in such a way that it is making a decided hit. Next week they will present "Is Zat So." The unusual manner in which "Is Zat So," the prize-ring comedy, came to be written no doubt accounts for the spectacular and outstanding suc- cess of the piece. James Gleason and Richard Taber, actors at the time, were out of work with little prospect of an engagement for some time to come. Sitting in that famous actors' rendezvous, the Lambs club, they talked idlely about plays and players' roles. They found that they agreed heartily on one thing: that the perfect role is one the actor writes for himself. Immediately they set out to write roles for themselves with the result that, molded into plot and play form "Is Zat So" was born 'to the theater. The rest is theater history. night two struggling actors became famous. "Is Zat So" glared forth in lights which cast a glow over farthest horizons. Never has such universal acclaim been accorded a production. All because two actors decided to write the perfect roles for themselves. Warner Baxter will play "Allesandro" opposite Dolores del Rio in "Ramona," which will be directed by Edwin Car- ewe, [BALABAN CRATZ] NORS HOR -- Now Playing-- AL KVALE and his Orchestra in "SYNCOPATHIA" with a cast of stars Official and complete DEMPSEY-TUNNEY Fight Pictures NORMA SHEARER in "After Midnight" --Starting Sunday-- The epic drama of the World War "The Big Parade" with JOHN GILBERT Renee Adoree--Karl Dane --Plus-- \ AL KVALE and his Collegians in "Rookies" with a host of sterling enter- tainers. LJ CNS 7 CAR CT 2h) D ZO Over-. John Gilbert in "Big Parade" at Norshore Sunday "The Big Parade," which has been rightly called the biggest picture in screen history, has been eagerly await- ed in this city. King Vidor's Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer picturization of Law- rence Stalling's story, is coming to the Balaban & Katz Norshore theater next Sunday. Briefly the story of "The Big Pa- rade" centers in Jim Apperson, a typical fun-loving American and much like any other rich man's son. In the spring of 1917, fired by a new patriotism, he enlists and departs for service in France. The succeeding scenes show Jim and his two buddies; Bull, a former Bowery bartender, and Slim, an ex-riveter, and their life in the doughboys' billets in rural France Mr. Stallings is said to have created a trio as original as Kipling's s "Soldiers Three." And then Jim meets Melisande--as ets about his American Alert his little French girl in her wooden sabots and milkmaid garb is a figure of high romance. Some of the most touching scenes ever filmed are those of the lovemaking of. Jim and Melisande. Then comes the advance to the front and the lovers are separated. Vital moments of drama are shown in the advance through the forest, the attack on the French village, the trenches, shell-holes, machine gun nests, the wounding of Jim and the final fight for his two pals. Then home again and the reconstruction period when the two lovers are reunited. Realism dominates every scene. Supporting John Gilbert are such sterling players as Renee Adoree, Karl Dane, Tom O'Brien, Hobart Bosworth, Claire Adams, Claire McDowell, Rosi- ta Marstini and Robert Ober.
