He is the boy, bright enough alumnus of a little high school, but not so big a fish in the larger collegiate pond, especially as the little lady of his dreams insists that he demonstrate his athletic prowress. The finale of the picture occurs at the annual boat race, Buster hoping to be the coxwain of his school's crew. * x x Lionel Barrymore heads a strong cast in "The Thirteenth Hour," a mystery play which will be shown on Sunday. The story opens with a thrill- ing murder and robbery and it is upon the solution of these crimes that the story is based. Matt Gray, played by Charles Delaney, a young detective and his dog, Napoleon, and Fred Kel- sey, furnish the "sleuth" interest. Polly Moran, as the eccentric newspaper wo- man, adds comedy relief and Jacquelin Gadsdon is in the role of Mary Lyle, secretary to the mysterious professor (Barrymore). The 'play is an original mystery-drama by Chester M. Franklin and Douglas Furber. : Emil Jannings' first American pic- as a detective of the old school, CHATEAU THEATRE BROADWAY AT GRACE ST. The Minturn Players THIS WEEK '7th HEAVEN' Com. Mon. Night, Nov. 28 "White Cargo" Evenings at 8:15 Mats.--Sun., Thurs., Sat. at 2:30 PHONE LAKEVIEW 7170 ture, "The Way of All Flesh," is one of the most damatically human, vital and gripping pictures ever presented on the screen. It is a saga of sacrifice, the coming of temptation in the life of a simple, home-loving man who slays himself in the eyes of the world to spare his family from shame. There are laughs and tears; moments when the character seems fairly to speak aloud. Jannings is not alone in the drama for with him, Belle Bennett, who gave us "Stella Dallas," and Phyllis Haver, the blonde in "What Price Glory," and others lift the supporting cast from the mediocre to the highest of film achievement. Victor Fleming, who di- rected, uses the camera as an accom- plished story writer uses words. At times his handling of the plot flashes with genius and always it is true and convincing. The story will be pre- sented on Monday and Tuesday. Phyllis Haver, Tom Moore, Jacque- line Logan and Joseph Striker are featured in the DeMille picture, "The Wise Wife," billed for Wednesday. x Xx x George Sidney and Charlie Murray are co-featured in the comedy, "Life of Reilly," which is the offering for Thurs- day and Friday. Reilly, the character depicted by Murray, is Fire Chief and general store keeper in a rural village, while Meyer is Chief of Police aad ice- man. Myrtle Stedman in the role of the rich widow is desired by both Meyer and Reilly, who find as their rival the shell-game man from the circus. The plot is woven around this rivalry, the invention of a fire ex- tinguisher by Reilly and the romance between Meyer's son and Molly. Museum Invites Children to View Polar Land Films "Adventures in the Far North" is the title of a free moving picture for chil- dren to be given Saturday, November 26, in the James Simpson theater of Field Museum of Natural History. The picture, which is given under the aus- pices of the Raymond Fund, will be run continuously from 10 a. m. until noon. All children of Chicago and suburbs are invited. In the film is pre- sented a vivid account of exploring in the polar regions. This is the ninth of such children's entertainments given at the museum this autumn, Almost 7 percent of the new custom- ers gained by the electric light and power companies of the United States during 1926 are located in Illinois. BALABAN & KATZ HOWARD AVE", CLARK --NOW PLAYING-- SOPHIE TUCKER IN PERSON New Songs! New Comedy! AL KVALE and his Colleglans In "Welcome Sophie" Milton Sills in "HARD BOILED HAGGERTY" --STARTING SUNDAY-- AL KVALE and his Colleglans in "JAZZ A LA SPOOKS" with a Cast of Stars, WILLIAM HAINES JOAN CRAWFORD in the Golf Romance "SPRING FEVER" It's a sereen birdle, Ingram's "Garden of Allah" Opens at Norshore, Sunday Al Kvale, whose clowning antics and brilliant musical work has made him the idol of thousands of north side theater fans, plans a series of huge stage shows in the spirit of the big motion picture attractions that are soon to be shown at the Norshore theater. Kvale and his orchestra will offer a unique and lavish stage revue start- ing Sunday at the Norshore theater. A number of new song arrangements have been prepared and a cast of stage favorites engaged for the occasion. One of the greatest desert romances ever filmed, "The Garden of Allah," a Rex Ingram production of Robert Hichens' famous novel, will be the Norshore theater's screen attraction starting Sunday. Filmed in the sand wastes of the Sahara, the locality in which the story takes place, it has authentic reality. It tells the tale of a Trappist monk's love for an English girl, of his mar- riage to her, and of his subsequent re- turn to the monastery after three months spent with her on the desert. Alice Terry in the role of Domini, the girl who sends her lover back to the rigid seclusion of his cell even though she is rapturously in love with him at the time, has the greatest op- portunity of her career. She is sup- ported by Ivan Petrovich, a Serbian leading man new to American audi- ences, and a cast of coatinental play- ers. Petrovich will doubtless become the new screen favorite on the strength of his portrayal of the monk who is torn between love for a woman and faith to his trust. "The Garden of Allah" is a haunt- ing romance filled with passion, heart- break and thrilling adventure. COMMUNITY HOUSE "The 'Yankee Clipper," that drama of the days when the American Clipper ships were the fastest "bottoms" afloat and carried the trade of the world, will be featured at the Community House, Winnetka, on Tuesday. Wil- liam Boyd and Elinor Fair play the leading roles. Jackie Coogan's "The Bugle Call," a story set in romantic frontier times, presents the little hero of junior film fans in a new and pleasing type of role. Jackie is growing up but he is loosing nothing of his ability and is adapting himself splendidly. You'll like it. It will be screened Friday. GLENCOE MOVIES "Slide, Kelly, Slide," featuring Sally O'Neil and William Haines, will be presented at the Glencoe Union church next Friday afternoon, December 2.
