WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1923 15 DUEL Hoyburn Theatre Frank B. Adam's story, "The Love Piker" will be seen at the Hoyburn Monday and Tuesday, September 17 and 18. Anita Stewart and Robert Frazer and an excellent supporting cast are seen in this film which is the story of a rich man's daughter and a poor man's son and their experience in the age-old game of love. "An ex- cellent story woven from the loom of life," is a critic's comment. "The Scarlet Lily," the story of a lily painted scarlet by tongues of scandal, will be the Hoyburn offering for Wednesday and Thursday, Sep- tember 19 and 20. Katherine Mec- Donald, regarded by many as Amer- ica's most beautiful woman, appears at her best in the title role. Stuart Holmes and Orville Caldwell are prominent in the supporting cast. It is quite appropriate at this season that the Hoyburn provide a play of school life. Such will be viewed Fri- day and Saturday, September 21 and 22 in "The Critical Age," screen adap- tation of Ralph Connor's popular novel, "Glengary School Days." Pauline Garon and James Harrison appear in the leading roles. Jackie Coogan comes to the Hoy- burn Monday, September 24, in his latest triumph, "Circus Days." rr | Howard Theatre ] oJ This week-end will be given over to the showing of Thomas Meighan's latest success, "Homward Bound," at the Howard. It is a Peter B. Kyne story, with Lila Lee playing opposite the great favorite. Being a Kyne story, you are right in assuming that "Homeward Bound" is a tale of the seas. The picture will be seen Sat- urday and Sunday of this week. James Kirkwood appears as the Howard headliner for Sunday, Sep- tember 16, the presentation being "You Are Guilty." Baby Peggy will augment this program with a scream- ingly funny skit entitled "Carmen, Jr" Jackie Coogan is billed for the Howard on Monday, Tuesday, Wed- nesday and Thursday of next week with his latest supreme success, "Cir- cus Days." Martin Winegarten, char- acterized as the "ace of the xylo- phone," will provide the specialty en- tertainment for these days. First run pictures booked for the Howard in the next few weeks in- clude "Lawful Larceny," "The Silent Partner," "Dulcy," starring Constance Talmadge, and "Children of the Dust." i | Adelphi Theatre | > Rex Beach's "The Spoilers" comes to the Adelphi on Friday and Satur- day of this week.

James Kirkwood's "You Are Guil- ty" comes to the Adelphi for Monday and Tuesday of next week--also the comedy success, "Winter Has Came." For Wednesday and Thursday, Sep- tember 19 and 20, the Adelphi has se- cured that remarkable picture, "Homeward Bound," Thomas Meigh- an's latest masterpiece of the silent drama. Lila Lee plays the leading feminine role. And here's good news for the .old timers--Mr. .and Mrs. Carter de Haven are back with a new one entitled "Borrowed Trouble." Due for the very near future at the Adelphi are some big features like "Enemies of Women," "Hollywood," and "Circus Days." The New Evanston Ir i "Hollywood," with fifty big stars in the cast, is packing the New Evanston this week, proving that a theater's policy of "the big pictures first" is meeting with the descriminating taste of the north shore community. James Cruse is the producer of this great motion picture story. By special request, the New Evanston is offering that greatest of Douglas Fairbanks triumphs, "The Mark of Zorro," in which the great star created his biggest sensation a season ago. The picture will show on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, September 17, 18 and 19. The comedy feature of those days will be provided by "Our Gang," Hal Roach's great kid comedians. Their vehicle this time will be "Lodge Night," which should afford many a hearty laugh. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Learns Moslem History from Original Sources History with difficult names and elusive dates to remember would lose its terrors for the youth of America were any considerable part of them as fortunately situated as Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. He is getting history, as it pertains to the Ottoman empire, first hand and without ever having to pore over a text book. Moreover, what he is ac- quiring in the way of Turkish lore has heightened his interest in the part he enacts in his first starring vehicle "Stephen Steps Out," a Para- mount picture adapted from "The Grand Cross of the Crescent," by Richard Harding Davis. Louise Fazenda Has . . First Vacation; to Write for Magazine Louise Fazenda is having her first vacation this year between pictures, but, strange to say, is using the time to write another series of "Screen Impressions" for a fan magazine, which a year ago ran about twelve different articles which the comedian wrote. At that time Miss Fazenda thought she had written up all the stars, but since then a fresh crop has sprung up, for she finds that so many nowa- days are being recruited from the speaking stage. 2 The comedian has just finished work in the screen adaption of the famous Belasco success, "The Gold Diggers," and with her recent signing by the Warner Brothers for starring roles, is looking over all the new scripts that come in. If you've got a funny idea, why not let Louise know about it?

CHICAGO 300 Extras Employed in Harry Carey's Picture More than three hundred extre ac- tors were engaged to play ccnvicts in the prison scenes in "Desert Driven," Harry Carey's spectacular western film drama which was presented for the first time at the Campus theatre, on Wednes- day, September 12. Director Val Paul rehearsed the ac- tor convicts for several days in their manner of walking and executing their prison labors before he turned a camera on a scene. The convicts were thorough- ly rehearsed in prison etiquette before any attempt was made to stage any of the dramatic scenes. Mary Astor has the coveted role of the leading feminine part opposite John Barrymore in the Warner Clas- sic, "Beau Brummell." Irene Rich has also been engaged for the produc- tion. The filming will not start di- rectly, however, as John Barrymore is still in Europe, but the studio staff are getting the sets ready for action before the camera. During the filming of Warner's "The Printer's Devil," Wesley Barry had a few words with Mary Halter, the freckled kiddie who plays opposite the star in the production. "Why don't you two kiss and make up?" suggested Harry Myers. Sa s* HowARD "L" Station at Howard THURS. FRI. SAT. THOS. MEIGHAN [11 Homeward Bound" MITCHELL AND FLETCHER Vocalists SUNDAY JAS.
