WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922 PHOTODRAMAS AT NEIGHBORING THEATRES HOWARD THEATRE William Farnum, that muscular, honest but stern visaged cinema lead- er whose best efforts have been given to plays that depict the mining fields, lumber regions and the like, comes to the Howard next Sunday in his new- est production, "Without Compro- mise." This film, coupled with the Howard's usual satisfactory Sabbath attractions, will certainly beckon "crowded houses" to the Howard street palace. William Farnum will remain at the Howard through Tuesday night, No- vember 21, and will give place on Wednesday and Thursday, November 22 and 23 to "Sliin Shoulders." "The Prisoner of Zenda" will be the Howard feature Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the follow- ing week. Thanksgiving brings the photodrama '"Arabia," while "East Is West," Constance Talmadge in the leading role, will be shown on Friday and Saturday, December 1 and 2. Every bill an all-star bill at the Howard. And, then, there's always that Howard Orchestra Supreme. James Thatcher, conductor, and the Howard Grand Organ, Anita Sadler and Betty Gish, organists. HOYBURN THEATRE Priscilla Dean, as "Cigarette," the daughter of the regiment, appears in the most magnificent role of her mar- velous career in "Under Two Flags," showing at the Hoyburn Theatre, Ev- anston, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day of next week. This photodrama, devised from Ouida's Immortal novel is characterized as one of the most romantic stories of adventure and thrill ever written Clara Kimball Young, long a favor ite of the films, is on the Hoyburn program Thursday and Friday, No- vember 23 and 24 in "Straight From Paris." Saturday, November 25, at the Hoy- burn marks the occasion of another of those gala children's programs. This time it will be "Jack and the Bean- stalk." Every child will receive an attractive souvenir. There is a show- ing at 9:30 o'clock and another at 11 o'clock. Herbert Rawlinson is shown in "An- other Man's Shoes" on the regular Saturday bill at the Hoyburn. The Hoyburn management is :r- ranging a prograni of unusual interest for Thanksgiving week. ADELPHI THEATRE Why have Adelphi announcements been absent from this page for two weeks? Well, something has hap- pened that is very nice to tell you about after a fortnight of silence. Here it is. The Adelphi Theatre has been purchased by Newell and Retchin, proprietors of the Howard Theatre. The accompanying anounce- ment will clear matters for Adelphi patrons. = "It is our intention to establish a permanent policy as to the prices of admission and quality of entertain- ment at the Adelphi," the new owners inform. "All pictures run at this house will be shown at 'a uniform price, and prices will NEVER be ad- vanced for any reason whatsoever. We assure you that the same clean pictures as we have given to the patrons of our Howard Theatre will prevail here, and the standard we have tinuous matinees on Saturdays, Sun- days and holidays. Next Sunday's ieading attraction at the Adelphi (Clark street at Estes avenue), will be Tom Mix in "Do and Dare." Constance Talmadge in "Bast Is West," heads the program on Monday and Tuesday. "To Have and to Hold" is booked for Wednesday and Thurs- day and "Wildness of Youth" will be shown on Friday and Saturday. Reopen Evanston Strand as Motion Picture House The Evanston Strand Theater will open in about a month as a first class motion picture show house, it was an- nounced recently by Clyde E. Elliott, who purchased the theater last week from the Evanston Amusement com- pany. Workmen have completed the re- modeling of the interior. Decorators are at work this week. J. E. O. Pridmore has been engaged by Mr. Elliott as supervising archi tect. He will entirely remodel the building, refurnish the interior, deco- rate elegantly, and will install big comfortable seats. The theater will have practically a new front. Mr. Elliott is an experienced movie man. He opened Orchestra Hall when it took over motion pictures, and was for one year director of the Ziegfeld theater on Michigan avenue in Chi- cago, and has been engaged as dis- tributor of high class moving picture films throughout the middle west. George B. Winter and Tom Leahy represented the stockholders who sold out. Charles Graves, attorney, handled the legal end. Ralph R. Oben- chain represented the purchaser. Mr. Elliott said this week that while the theater will be operated as a high class motion picture house, it will be adequately staged and lighted and in every other way equipped so that dra- (NEWELL & RETCHIN) ADELPH THEATRE 7074 N.
