WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1923 + PHOTODRAMAS At Neighboring Theatres 3 i CC Three hundred horses used in a sin- 1 % gle scene. The Village Theatre Total scenes shot, 1108. { Maximum number of scenes in a day thirty (in Sherwood Forest.) There are thrills galore. Jolts and| Minimum number of scenes in a day tremors flow swiftly as "The Third|two (Banquet Hall.) Alarm" sweeps across on the screen in a mighty "symphony of emotion." The fire scene is beyond question the great- est and most thrilling ever flung upon the screen. The rescue of Jonnie Wal- ker, is big with dramatic punch. The crash of the great safe and the collapse of the blazing walls of the Rutherford Apartments are smashing episodes of drama. The dash of the old fire horse through a wall of flame with Dan Mc- Dowell on his back and their rescue of the young couple trapped beneath the safe in the flaming Inferno is another heart wrenching scene that reflects the wizardous production skill of Emory Johnson. Among those in the cast are Ralph Lewis, as Dan McDowell; Jonnie Wal- ker as his son; Ella Hall as June Ruth- erford; Richard Morris as Dr. Ruther- ford; Virginia True Boardman as Mrs. McDonald ; Frankie Lee, Josephine Adario and others. The story was writ- ten and adapted for the screen by Mrs. Emilie Johnson, mother of the producer and it is being distributed by F. B. 0. as was "In the Name of the Law." "The Third Alarm" will show at the Village Theatre, Wilmette, Monday, "Tuesday and Wednesday, April 23,24, and 25. t- | Hoyburn Theater 2) Two of the season's greatest films will be seen at the Hoyburn, Davis street, Evanston, during the week of April 23. Beginning Monday and continuing through Wednesday, April 25, the sen- sational picture, "The Third Alarm," will be the feature attraction. This film stars Ralph Lewis, a stage veteran, and Jonnie Walker, one of the screen's most popular juveniles. It is charac- terized as a "stupendous and colossal heart drama." Thrilling scenes of "fire runs" abound in the picture and there are hair-raising rescue scenes that will grip the heart of the most placid ob- server. Beginning Thursday, April 26, and continuing through Saturday, April 28, Laurette Taylor will hold the Hoyburn place of honor in her film version of the famous "Peg O' My Heart," one of the greatest of modern stage suc- cesses. The New Evanston sia Usually stories laden with statistics are boresome rather than entertaining or instructive. However, in the case ot "Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood," United Artists release coming to the Evanston Theatre next week, an ex- ception can be noted, due to the unbe- lievable speed with which this gigantic production was "shot" was due to the remarkable organization with which Mr. Fairbanks surrounded himself. He put at the head of each depart- ment the most thoroughly competent man obtainable, regardless of price. And at the head of the whole directorial force he placed Allan Dwan, reputed to be the most thorough and swiftest director of productions of the Robin Hood magni- tude in the picture industry. the story of the making of this feature: Thirty thousand calls issued through casting department to players. One thousand and eight players used in biggest scene. hundred No time was lost on account of ra The company worked on one holiday-- Decoration Day--and four Sundays.
