WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1922 13 PHOTODRAMAS AT NEIGHBORING THEATRES The fall and winter season of master photodramatic productions is now in full swing at the big Neighborhood theaters, Hoyburn, Howard, Adelphi. Good motion picture productions, like good plays, never grow thread bare or pall on the higher type of motion picture followers. The fact that a play can be shown in the neighbor- hood theater only after it has been viewed by Loop throngs, need not affect adversely that production when it is brought out from within the con- fines of Chicago's downtown. The wise movie patron steers shy of the jost- ling crowds of the loop and waits pa- patiently, though it be several weeks, for the showing in the theater near his home, where he can observe it with absolute comfort. HOYBURN THEATRE "The Eternal flame," heralded as Norma Talmadge's ultra-masterpiece and said to be even greater than "Smilin' Through" comes to the Hoy- burn, Evanston, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, October 30 and 31, November 1 and 2. Support- ing Miss Talmadge in this super-film are such screen favorites as Conway Tearle, Irving Cummings, Otis Harlan, Rosemary Theby, Adolphe Jean Men- jou, Wedgewood Nowell and Kate Lester. Marjorie Daw appears at the Hoy- burn Friday, November 3 in her latest success, "Fifty Candles." "The Trap," featuring Lou Chaney, the attraction for Saturday November 4. In addition there will be the seria "Days of Buffalo Bill." : HOWARD THEATRE Plays of unquestioned interest and worth continue in the bill at the Howard.
