WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1925 i Bow » Ph Neighboring Theaters VILLAGE THEATRE Zane Grey's great novel, "The Thun- dering Herd" has been put into pic- tures and will be seen at the Village theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 1, 2 and 3. "The Thundering Herd" is written around the making of the West. One of the many thrilling scenes shows the stampede of a herd of 2,000 buffalo. It is these animals which furnish the backbone of the story. The film realistically pictures the wholesale slaughter of the Ameri- can bison and explains the vanishing of the vast thundering herds which roamed the plains in 1876. The featured players in the produc- tion include such favorites as Jack Holt, Lois Wilson, Noah Beary and Raymond Hatton. The other features of the program will be "The Voice of The Nightin- gale", a color reel which was shown at the Chicago theatre during its "take a chance" week, "Rarin' Romeo," and Education comedy and a Pathe news reel. Jackie Coogan--the juvenile favorite of young and old alike, the world over, will be seen Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday in his latest picture "The Rag Man." The story relates the adventures of little Tim Kelly after he has lost his home in a New York orphan asylum that is seen to burn to the ground. Tim Kelly is registered as among those that perished in the flames and Tim is well satisfied to be considered a "dead one," for he finds himself a home and a job with old Max Ginsberg, who be- gins by befriending the boy and ends be being befriended by him. In "The Rag Man," Jackie is once more a regular American boy, a lad from the sidewalks of New York. In his other recent pictures he has been wandering all over the map in a va- riety of roles. In "Long Live the King," he was. a Teutonic prince amid the spectacular settings of a mythical knigdom; in "A Boy of Flan- ders," he was the pathetic little Bel- gian artist, and in "Little Robinson Crusoe," he was a kid adventurer in the South Seas. But in "The Rag Man," he is the Jackie that everyone first learned to love when Charlie Chaplin brought his genius to the fore. Added attractions will be a Mer- maid comedy, "Motor Mad" and a Pathe news reel. NEW EVANSTON Ernest "Versatility" Torrence is the way they are hailing this famous char- acter actor in Hollywood. Having won fame as a portrayer of western. characters in "The Covered Wagon," Torrence, beloved by movie fans the world over, gave recent visible evidence of his versatility with an en- tirely different character portrayal in "The Side Shéw of Life." Then came his appearance as "Captain Hook" in Paramount's notable visualization of J. M. Barrie's fantasy. Now he displays yet another side of his versatility as "Angus McGregor," Scotch proprietor of a department store in "The Dressmaker from Paris," directed by Paul Bern for Paramount. In this role Torrence is a blustering, hardheaded Scotchman, who disdains the new ideas Allan Forrest introduces for getting business in the small town where the store is located. Torrence is really of Scotch blood and packs a wondrous burr, which of course the screen cannot convey. Leatrice Joy has the title role in "The Dressmaker from Paris," which marks her return to the screen after an absence of many months. A par- ticular high-spot is the participation in the picture of 14 manikins se- lected after a search which included every city in America and the princi- pal cities of the Continent. The beau- tiful models exhibit fashions created by one of Paris' foremost designers, brought to this country by Paramount especially to create gowns for this production. Miss Joy and Torrence are featured at the head of the cast of the picture, opening a three day engagement Mon- day, June 1, at the New Evanston. In the SipporHng sash besides Forrest, are Mildre arris, Larry Gray, "Spec" O'Donnell and others. d Fucep Adelaide Heilbron and Howard Summer Vacations "FILMO" MOVIE CAMERA Takes pictures as you see them.

Sa a HERE AND THERE ON STAGE AND -- » - p o¥ = Siz Hawks wrote the story; the former is credited with the scenario. Anne Douglas Sedgwick's novel, "The Little French Girl," the present sensa- tion in the world of literature, comes to the New Evanston theatre next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 4, 5 and 6, as a Paramount picture that promises to be even more popular than the book. Herbert Brenon directed the pro- duction, which features Alice Joyce, Neil Hamilton, Mary Brian and Esther Ralston. The story is one of Alix Ver- vier, the little French girl, whose mother's mode of life makes a suitable marriage impossible for her in France. She goes to the home of friends in England. How she finally finds hap- piness despite the past and differences in social standards between the two countries makes "The Little French Girl" high class picture entertainment. Mario Majeroni, Anthony Jowitt, a new screen discovery; Maurice Can- non, Paul Doucet and Jane Jennings are a few of the well known names in the strong supporting cast. THE HOWARD On Sunday, May 31, the Howard theatre will offer to its patrons a fea- ture film called "The She Wolves" with Alma Rubens as the star. Thomas Santschi, who has a pic- turesque role in "Barriers Burned Away," possesses the distinction of having been the first of the picture personalities to settle on the Coast who is still prominently identified with the screen. The hero of "The Spoilers," "The Crisis" and "The Garden of Allah" was a member of the group of players of the Selig Polyscope Company to first invade Los Angeles. Other members of the company were Nick Cogley, Jean Warde, Frank Montgomery, Dick Vivian and Barbara Worth. Santschi, who has remained on the Coast ever since, is, therefore, in point of service, the oldest cinema player in Western film circles. In the Encore picture, "Barriers Burned Away," adapted from E. P. Roe's famous novel and stage play and to be shown Mon- day and Tuesday, at the Howard thea- tre, Santschi is an important member of a genuine all-star cast. Among those appearing are Mabel Ballin, Frank Mayo, Wanda Hawley, Harry T. Morey, Frankie Mann, Arline Pretty, Lawson Butt, John P. Lock- ney, William V. Mong, Wally Van and others. W. S. Van Dyke directed this spectacular and sensational picture. Wednesday and Thursday of next week Monte Blue and Marie Prevost will be seen in "Kiss Me Again" a Warner = Brothers "Classic of the Screen", directed by Ernst Lubitsch. Richard Barthelmess will be the week-end attraction at the Howard on Friday and Saturday in a film entitled "New Toys." Also at the Saturday matinee only, Art Hoxie will be seen in "Ridin' Thunder." 4 THE HOYBURN The Hoyburn theatre. will offer for a three day engagement beginning next week Monday, June 1, 2 and 3, a film At The Howard MARIE PR in *K1SS ME AGAIN" -- A Warner Picture -- entitled "My Son," with Alla Nazimova and Jack Pickford as stars. The Russian star who has been a favorite film star for years is said to have a role in "My Son" which is very well fitted to her histrionic tal- ents. Jack Pickford, the handsome brother of Mary, the Darling of the Screen, ably assists Alla Nazimova, in this pic- ture. THE NEW CAMPUS For next Monday and Tuesday, June 1 and 2, the management of the New Campus announces the engagement of Tom Mix and Tony, the Wonder Horse, in a thrilling film called "The Deadwood Coach" made from Clar- ence E. Mulford's novel "The Orphan." According to the management, this is "the picture that all the Chicago news- papers have raved about." For the last half of the week, start- ing Wednesday, the New Campus an- nounces what is known as "The Sur- prise Treat of the Season." A great program has been selected. Some of the best talent available in Evanston has been corralled. And novelties and surprises galore are promised to the New Campus patrons. All this will be in addition to the usual film program. The feature pic- ture is said to be ranked as one of best comedies of the year. The pro- gram will be balanced by a selected list of smaller features. 4 "People coming to the New Campus for this entertainment will not be "T'ak- ing' A Chance' because they will get the surprise of their lives," according to the statement given out by the New Campus management. -- They know it is the best. tary white wagons. 1) FOR 50 YEARS THE STANDARD OF QUALITY MOTHERS!

Yet this paradoxical situation occur- red at the Paramount Long Island Studio not so very long ago and oc- casioned no surprise whatsoever. The principals in this unique triangle were Thomas Meighan, James Kirkwood and Lila Lee, who in private life is Mrs. James Kirkwood. When Jim arrived unexpectedly at the studio, he found his wife very busy receiving the romantic attentions of Mrs. Meighan, while director Victor Heerman urged them on. But Jim didn't care--he knew their love was reel! It was only for a scene in "Old Home Week," Thomas Meighan's latest Para- mount production, in which Lila Lee has the leading feminine role. JACKIE ADDS NAG TO PETS In "Long Live the King," Jackie Coogan coveted the ownership of a queer little mongrel dog. In "A Boy of Flanders," Teddy, the Great Dane was Jackie's partner. In "Little Rob- inson Crusoe," Jackie had the asso- ciation of a capricious black cat. In "The Rag Man," Jackie's fourth pic- ture for Metro-Goldwyn, which is com- ing to a local theatre soon, his mascot and faithful friend is an aged horse, one time a record-breaker on the track, but now reduced to the ignominy of dragging a junk-wagon through the streets of New York City. But under the inspiration, and af- fected by the "pep" of the young hero's blithe spirit, the old horse wakens from the lethargy and has one glorious re- vival of long-forgotten triumphs. He races a younger horse belonging to a belligerent Italian vegetable vendor and wins. Jackie, of course, does the driv- ing. NAME LONG FAMOUS The name of Frank Mayo, who is playing the leading male role in "Barriers Burned Away," a story of the Chicago fire, produced by Arthur F. Beck from E. P. Roe's novel and stage play, and soon to be shown, has had a conspicuous place in front of the theatres of the world for more than half a century. . Not that this stalwart young lead- ing man has found the fountain of youth, but rather that the name he bears has been prominent theatrically LL IN 9 2 "ow J for three generations. In the days when "Davy. Crockett" was the great play of the country, this name was al- most as widely known as it is today. It was borne then by Mayo's grand- father, one of the dominant stage fig- ures of that generation. Then his father succeeded in perpetuating its fame, and finally, in turn, the heritage of the Mayo talent was passed on to the present Frank. } This representative of the family spoke his first lines on the stage while his grandfather was still in the heyday of his fame. He started his career at the age of five, with a small part in the play made famous by his grand- father, which, incidentally, it is the film star's great desire to re-create for the screen.
