WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1923 6, > | Photodramas The New Evanston A stout willow sapling recently saved Lois Wilson, Paramount feat- ured player, from being thrown from her horse fifty feet down a rocky precipice while riding out to location in the Tonto Basin, Arizona. Miss Wilson plays the role of El- len Jorth in the Paramount produc- tion, "To the Last Man," which will be shown at the New Evanston theatre during the week beginning Monday, October 22, and the accident was caused by an insecure saddle cinch. As she felt the saddle slipping side- ways, she seized a willow tree above her head which broke her fall and prevented both horse and rider from plunging over the cliff. Miss Wilson sustained a few minor bruises and was found by Richard Dix, also a featured player in the production, who was hurrying along the trail Miss Wilson, who is an excellent horsewoman, was riding "Senator," the spirited horse which attracted such notice in Paramount's epic pic- ture, "The Covered Wagon," a James Cruze, production in which Miss Wil- son played. "To the Last Man" was directed by Victor Fleming and the scenes were shot in the hills of Arizona, 200 miles from a railway station. The story is historical and deals capti- vatingly with a sanguinary feud waged in the eighties. The other featured players are Noah Beery, Robert Edeson and Frank Campeau. There are many scenes of great dramatic power while the life inter- est never lags. It isa most compell- ing photoplay. The supporting play- ers include many screen artists of reputation and popularity. The New Evanston super-produc- tions have found an enthusiastic response, as indicated in the phen- omonal attendance records established during the past three weeks. Harold Lloyd's "Safety Last" literally "packed 'em in," and was followed by that most entertaining "Ruggles of Red Gap," without doubt the best liked picture seen on the north shore in many months. This week has been another outstanding success with the appearance of Gloria Swanson's Zaza." The New Evanston Comedy features are positively first run, issued there in advance of Loop releases. r-- | Hoyburn Theatre ] # J That mammoth production "Enemies of Women" comes to enthrall Hoyburn patrons Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day, October 22, 23 and 24. The picture has been so consistently and continuous- ly advertised as to need little comment in these columns further than the advice of the editor that every movie fan make it a point to witness this super-drama starring Lionel Barrymore. "Enemies of Women" is taken from the famous novel by Ibanez, author of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" and follows the theme of regeneration through the World war. The scenes were actually taken in Europe including settings in Paris, Nice, Monte Carlo and The Riviera. Alma Rubens heads the all-star sup- porting cast. A return engagement of Jackie Coo- gan's "Daddy" is booked for Thursday, October 25. This is one of the boy genius' best productions and comes back to the Hoyburn by special request of patrons. Colleen Moore, Lloyd Hughes and an excellent supporting cast will offer "The Huntress" for Hoyburn fans on Friday and Saturday, October 26 and 27. The picture is a new comedy drama present- ing the unusual story of an Indian- raised white girl. This film is newly released and will be shown at the Hoy- burn in advance of Chicago appearances. It is a refreshing bit of entertainment. {38 Ny | Howard Theatre | itd "Red Lights," adapted by Carey Wilson from Edward E. Rose's stage success of that title, will be seen at the Howard this week-end. Marie Prevost, Johnny Walker and Alice Lake are the outstanding stars of the piece. It is a story of the strange love affairs of a beaut'ful heiress. Priscilla Dean, who, it seems to us, has been resting on her laurels for quite some time, comes back into the limelight again with a thriller eclept "Drifting." "Don't know much about it, but it should be good with thé vivacious Priscil'a constantly in the foreground. For next week the Howard offers "Where the North Becins," on Mon- day* and Tuesday; "Little Johnnie Jones," on Wednesdav ard Thurs- day, and "Pioneer Trails," for Friday and Saturday. "Where the North Begins" features that famous police dog, Rin Tin Tin, who has been appearing "in person" in a popular Loop movie palace. Offerings for the near future at the Howard include "The Merry Go Round," an interesting drama treat- ing with the pre-war gaieties of that gay Vienna: "Potash and Perlmutter," with Bernard and Carr in the title roles; "Six Days," and Norma Tal- madge's latest success, "Ashes of Vengeance," in which Conway Tearle plays opposite the adorable Norma. ve Adelphi Theatre nt iii J "Ruggles of Red Gap," unquestion- ably one of the best motion pictures of the season, will be shown at the Adelphi on Sunday and Monday, October 21 and 22. It is not hilarious- ly funny but just keeps you "rippling" all the time. Ernest Torrence--yes, we mean the vicious villian, takes the part of a hen-pecked husband and boy, he's a scream. Ruggles is played by James Horton, who, throughout the play, bears upon his countenance the imprint of generations upon gen- erations of serfdom. Lois Wilson and Louise Dresser also have important roles. You will have missed one of the very best pictures if you fail to see "Ruggles of Red Gap," and that's not idle chatter, either. "Red Lights' comes to the Adelphi for Tuesday, October 23. A fine cast in Marie Prevost, Johnnie Walker and Alice Lake. "The Common Law," starring Corin- ne Griffith, Conway Tearle and El- liott Dexter, is the Adelphi attrac- tion for Wednesday and Thursday, October 24 and 25. It tells of the life of a girl in the artists' colony of New York's Greenwich Village. It is a drama which was a sensation in novel and on the stage. And, here is the supporting cast--Doris May, Hobart Bosworth, Miss DuPont, Bryant Washburn, Phyllis Haver and Harry Myers. "The Eleventh Hour" is booked for Friday and Saturday, October 26 and 27 Griffith Invites Public to See "America" Filming Galleries are to be invited to the tak- ing of the big scenes in motion pictures according to an understanding recently reached by the leading producers, The purpose of inviting the public is to combat the prevalent impression of "faking" in production. So much discredit has been cast upon the reali- ty of scenes by various writers that theater owners complained their patrons did not believe any scene in a film was legitimately photographed without '"doc- toring." So the producers have decided to invite the public at all scenes where their presence does not interfere with the work, and this policy is being first put into effect with the larger spectacular scenes for D. W. Griffith's next produc- tion "America." For this work, Griffith is reproducing all the more important battles of the Revolutionary War. Un- usual efforts have been made that all the details of this action be made with absolute fidelity to history.
