- WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1925 15 HERE AND THERE ON STAGE AND SCREEN | Neighboring Theaters THE HOYBURN BOUT five years ago Booth Tarkington, world-famous nov- elist, was induced by Para- mount to have one of his books trans- ferred to the screen. The result of that experiment was one of that sea- son's finest pictures, "The Conquest of Canaan." The star of the picture was Thom- as Meighan who comes to the screen at the Hoyburn theater next Monday September 14, for a six-day run, in another story by the same author, "The Man Who Found Himself," an- other prison tale written especially for the 'good luck' star by Mr. Tarkington. Alfred E. Green, who directed Meighan in "The Bachelor Daddy," "Back Home and Broke," "Pied Piper Malone" and other just as successful pictures, made this one. Tom Geraghty, who supervises all of the star's productions, wrote the screen play. Virginia Valli, Frank Morgan, John Harrington, Norman Trevor, Charles Stevenson, Julia Hoyt and Lynn Fontanne are but a few of the big names which appear in the strong supporting cast. "The Man Who Found Himself" is a semi-serious tale of a happy-go- lucky son of a small town banker who shoulders the blame when his younger brother loses heavily in Wali Street and then borrows bank funds to "cover up." The result is a sojourn in Sing Sing. ' THE NEW EVANSTON It is a singular fact that most of the great successes on the screen and on the speaking stage have been made by those who commenced as children or, we may say, were "caught early." As to the screen, this applies par- ticularly to Lillian and Dorothy Gish, who are to appear in "Romola," which 1s to be at the New Evanston, next Monday, Sept. 14, for a week's en- gagement. Both of whom began as children and learned the art by slow and careful progress. And it is doubtful if the art of acting, either for the screen or the speaking stage, was ever prop- erly learned in any other way. Almost without exception, every ac- tress of importance of the English each other and against the hostile forces of the wild country about them. In this setting, where nature is at its best and its worst, the matter of desig- nating the villain proves a teaser. "I thought I was," says Wallace Berry. "I've almost always been cast as the villain, but I'll be hanged if I don't believe I'm as much the hero as any one else." "Perhaps it's me," ventures Bessie Love, who, of course, was chosen to be the heroine. "It's awful, trying to be always good in a setting like that." "I'm guilty," says Lewis Stone, who has every reason for being but, by a noble sacrifice, proves himself a laud- able hero. THE HOWARD For Sunday, September 13, the Howard theatre management will offer a film called "Without Mercy," fea- turing Dorothy Phillips and R. Fellows. On Monday and Tuesday comes a screenization of Frank Bacon's very noptilar stage success, "Lightin'", with | Jay Hunt as the star. Then for Wed- nesday and Thursday, will follow a ver- sion of Alice Brady's legitimate success, "Zander, The Great," with Marion Davies and Harrison Ford. Then for the week-end, Friday and Saturday, "The Marriage Whirl," featuring Cor- me Griffith. And also an Our Gang comedy, "Ask Grandma." VILLAGE THEATRE Movies as you like them will be seen at the Village theatre next week. Monday and Tuesday, September 14 and 15, the attraction will be the great war film "The Lost Battalion", to- gether with a Bobby Vernon comedy, "Don't Pinch", a Kelly Color film and a Pathe News reel. Laura La Plante will be seen Wednesday and Thursday in "The Teaser". In addition there will be a 'Hal Roach comedy, a Pathe review, and a Universal news reel called "Life's Greatest Thrills", which is com- posed of pictures of sensational events which have been pictured by Universal during the past 10 years. Friday and Saturday Tom Mix will be seen in "The Lucky Horseshoe". There will also be a new Van Bibber comedy "The Big Game Hunter" and a Pathe news reel. The story of the Lost Battalion has and American stage had her initial experience in a child role. We name a few who come readily to mind: Ellen Terry, Maude Adams, Viola Allen, Mrs. Fiske, Annie . Russell, Majorie Rambeau, Pauline Lord, | Jeanne Fagles, Fay Bainter, Emily Stevens, and many others of dis- tinction. It was only a tew years ago that Mrs. Mary Gish, after the death of her husband, took her two blonde- haired tots to New York City and obtained work for them in the old Biograph studio. It was fortunate that the two youngsters, Lillian and Dorothy, came under the guiding hand of so masterful D. W. Griffith. Out of this oO experience came, for | Lillian in particular, such triumphs as were her's in "The Birth of a | Nation," "Hearts of the World," | "Broken Blossoms," "Way Down Fast," "Orphans of - the Storm," "The White Sister," and now "Romola," which is an Inspiration picture distributed by Metro-Gold- wyn. : THE NEW.CAMPUS Find the villain! That was the popular endeavor of the cast of "The Lost World," the First National-Watterson R. Rothacker super-feature adaptation of the thrill- ing Conan Doyle novel, which comes next week to the New Campus theater for a five day run, from Monday to Fri- day, September 14 to 18. "The Lost World" narrates the ad- ventures of three men and a girl in search of a surviving life of the pre- historic dinosaur age somewhere in South America. Here the primitive forces of human nature clash against a director as | | | | | | | { become definitely part of the traditions of the American people.

The story of their dogged stand is as firmly fixed in the history of America as is that of Wash- ington crossing the Delaware that winter night or kneeling in the snow of Valley Forge to pray while his men paced their sentry rounds with bleed- ing feet. For six bitter days these heroes of 1918 clung to their hillsides, galled by German fire from every direction, hug- ging the hope that relief would some- how come. Death lurked in every bush, behind every tiny mound. Out of the tree-tops the spiteful fire of ma- chine guns hailed upon them. Nor was this all.
