'March 31, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 19 Shore Theaters News ) a) (650 "40,000 Miles With Lindbergh" Teatro Bill for Thursday The program arranged by Teatro del Lago for the coming week contains some interesting pictures. The fol- lowing paragraph comment will allow you to formulate an idea of what they are like and about. A Tom Mix film, a Richard Dix presentation, several comedies and possibly most interesting of all, M-G-M's chronical of "Lindy's" great flight, "Forty Thousand Miles with Lindbergh," are included. Tom Mix rather enjoyed making "The Daredevil's Reward," it is said, because it follows closely some of the incidents that occurred early in his life when he was with the Texas Rangers. Followers of Tom Mix will enjoy this film. "Finders Keepers" is a film featuring Laura LaPlante and based on a story by Mary Roberts Reinhart. When you say that Laura becomes a private in a man's army that about tells the story. It's genuinely humorous and a good evening's fun. Lewis Stone, Ricardo Cortez and Maria Corda, the latter a Hungarian actress of both the stage and screen and making her debut in American films with this one, are the three prin- cipal clowns in First National burlesque, "The Private Life of Helen of Troy." It is not the satire of Ers- kine's novel but a hilarious comedy of Homer with wise-cracking titles. "The Leopard Lady" is an excellent story with a new slant and a surpris- ing ending. The action of the play takes place in a continental traveling circus. Jacqueline Logan gives a splendid performance and is strongly supported by Allan Hale and Robert Armstrong. "Sporting Goods" is one of the very best of the recent comedies. Richard Dix is cast in a typical young Amer- ican role, that of a happy-go-lucky golf suit salesman who gets into tre- mendous difficulties when he allows a girl to think he's a millionaire. "40,000 Miles with Lindy" What one of the few million Lindy fans needs more than a casual intro- duction to the film "Forty Thousand Miles with Lindbergh"? It can almost be termed an historical document. Start ing with his preparations for the New York to Paris non-stop flight and end- ing with his return to St. Louis after a successful termination of the good- will tour of Central American repub- lics, every detail is shown in this film and explained by means of charts and graphs. See it by all means. COMMUNITY HOUSE Only one program will be presented at Community House next week, the usual Friday shows being omitted be- Sine of the observation of Good Fri- ay On Tuesday Ken Maynard's "The Wagon Show" will be featured with an "Our Gang" comedy as the added attraction. "The Wagon Show" is a western picture with a circus back- ground, a story combining the thrills, romance, daring stunts and trick rid- ing of the two. As Ken Maynard spent many years with Barnum and Bailey and Ringling Brothers' circuses and the scenario was writtten express- ly for Ken Maynard, the play naturally is not a poor one. Line-O-News NONE other than Sir Harry Lauder is to make an appearance at the Olympic theater on April 2. Just think, this is again Mr. Lauder's "Last Tour" of America. But regardless of Sir Harry's periodical intention to retire to a private existence in his beloved Scot- tish highlands, we'll welcome Sir Harry again and again with an unvarying amount of intensified enthusiasm. * kx William T. Hodge in "Straight Through the Door" begins the third week at the Princess this Sunday. * "The Vikings at Helgoland" an Ibsen play, begins its third week at the Goodman Memorial theater. * Productions that terminate their runs in the city this week are "The Letter" at the Olympic, and "Diplomacy" at the Blackstone. * kx "Excess Baggage," an excellent piece well acted and staged, starts its sixth week at the Garrick JDext week.

Harold Lloyd's "Speedy" is scheduled to make its Chicago debut via Messers Balaban and Katz' Roosevelt this Sunday. Ann Christy is Harold's leading lady in the ily film. The screen version ¥ "The Patsy," with Marion Davies, is one of the re- leases in the city next week. How does it compare with the stage pro- duction? Dunno. * kx "The Legion of the Condemned," another story of the War from the standpoint of aviation, succeeds "The Patent Leather Kid" at McVickers next Monday. --Hub. COMMUNITY HOUSE Tues., Apr. 3 Fri.,, April 6 ra Sars. | GOOD "THE FRIDAY WAGON Se SHOW" Motion Our Gang Com. Pictures a Te LX Radio Favorite to Visit Kvale at the Norshore Theater 'The children's favorite, "Uncle Bob," who broadcasts every evening over "KYW," the Chicago Evening American radio station, will visit with Al Kvale and his Jazz Collegians dur- ing the week beginning April 1, at the Norshore theater. He will sing and tell stories, much in a similar manner as when he broadcasts. Accompanying him during that week Al and his gang will be hosts to a group of talented artists, in a jazzical .stage production of an odd nature. It will be confined to "blue" melodies, and will be entitled "Blue Revue." This gay jazz jamboree, with its tantalizing syncopation and tripping maidens, is credited by Al with being one of the most colorful and crooning productions of the year. Beautiful Joan Crawford, reputed to possess the most perfect form in film- land, will come to the Norshore screen the same week in her latest starring film, "Rose Marie." This is the screen version of the famous stage play which so thrilled play-goers during its performance here. It is carried much farther in the film, with its capabilities to reproduce the grandeur of moun- tains, and the general atmosphere which is such a big part of the pro- duction. Miss Crawford has an all-star sup- porting cast, which includes James Murray and House Peters. William G. Struggles, 609 Cherry street, left last week for a spring va- cation with friends in New Orleans. EVANSTON TONIGHT AT 8:15---MATINEE WED. © SAT. BALABAN & KATZ ORSHORE HOWARD AVE."
