WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1923 PHOTODRAMAS At Neighboring Theatres # Mildred's hobby is enjoying every- thing that has to do with the Great Out- doors. She loves swimming perhaps more than anything. Director Harry Beaumont has been The New Evanston | ; Betty Compson provides the major feature at the New Evanston this week- end with her latest success, "The White Flower," heralded as one of the out- standing achievements of her brilliant screen career. Hal Roach's "Young Rascals" will be an additional entertdinment on this bill in the screaming comedy - "The Big Show." Beginning Monday, April 16, and con- tinuing through Wednesday, April 18, Agnes Ayres and Theodore Roberts will hold the spotlight at the New Evanston. The vehicle is "Racing in Hearts," a human interest triumph. The New Evanston emphasizes es- pecially the showing of Charles Ray's tremendous hit, "The Girl I Loved," which comes to that playhouse Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 19, 20 and 21 "The Girl I Love," is taken {from James Whitcomb Riley's masterpiece of that title and it is characterized as "a love story for romantic women and red- blooded men." It is said to excel in power and interest anything that Charles Ray has ever done. Suspense and thrilling dramatic in- cidents are the dominant notes in this new production, and on the acting side it is promised that Mr. Ray far excels his best previous efforts either in comedy or drama. Hitherto Ray has been best known for the lighter side of the char- acters he has portrayed. Now he ap- pears as a figure in turn merry, buoy- ant, earnest and intensely dramatic. This gaumut, it is said, he runs with a resource and power that even his most ardent admirers have not known. "The Girl I Loved" takes on further interest from its biographical importance. It is founded upon the poem by James Whit- comb Riley with the same title, and tradition in the poet's old home says it is the story of Riley's own personal love affair. Hoyburn Theater niin? "Lorna Doone," starring Frank Kee- nan and Madge Bellamy, will inaug- urate next week's program of photo- plays at the Hoyburn theatre, Evans- ton. It is taken from the novel and play of that title, and considered one of the best pictures of recent produc- tion. "Lorna Doone" will be at the Hoyburn on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 16, 17 and 18. On Thursday, April 19, the Chi Omega sorority of Northwestern uni- versity will. take over the Hoyburn for a benefit performance for its House fund. "Back Home and Broke" will be the attraction and Thomas Meighan the starring artist. Katherine McDonald, a prime fav- orite with Hoyburn audiences, will be seen in her latest success, "Refuge," on Friday and Saturday, April 20 and 21. : The Hoyburn theatre has been re- cently redecorated and looks like new. The predominant note of conservative- ness and dignity has been retained in the renewed appointments of the pop- ular play house. Organ and piano music at the Hoy- burn is attracting wide attention among movie fans. The combina- tion, worked singly on features and comedies, seems to "hit the spot" with the audiences. #placed under a long term contract by NEWELL & RETCHIN The House of Harmony OWAR HAROLD LLOYD: the Norn Afprer, following the Horold's hobbi completion of "Main Street," by Sinclair ge i is sgn 8 Er Lewis. Mr. Beaumont's first picture N. W. "L" Station at Howard is also a devotee of the magic art, buy- ing every slight of hand trick he can lay his hands on. As far as athletics are concerned, Lloyd is enthusiastic over all forms of sports. While in New York recently, he "took in" every foot- ball game in preference to a favorite diversion--the theatre, and was filled with woe because he had to return to California and miss the Army-Navy game. "SNUB" POLLARD: "Snub" is also a swimmer of note. In fact, he has won many medals and trophies for his prowess in the water. When he can't be found around the studio or "lot" he is usually discovered devoloping new stunts in the enormous studio tank. PEARL WHITE: Not meaning to exploit any particu- lar Pathe serial, we must admit that Pearl's favorite hobby is Thrills. She must have excitement and therefore her, fondness for the serial photoplay. Out- side of this, she is a clever horsewoman, a motorist, a swimmer and everything that has to do with athletic sports. PAUL, PARROTT: Pathe's "doodlewit" comedian is very much of an athlete and every time there 1s any kind of game around the studio, one vice, however, that he has attemptea to keep dark--he owns a concertina ana can almost play on it.
