THE NEW EVANSTON The Sioux Indians took part in the greatest battle their tribe has fought for 40 years during the filming of James Cruze's new western epic for Paramount, "The Pony Express". Not since the last battle of the last Indian war in. the United States--the "Ghost Dance War" in Wyoming in 1886, have the Sioux been engaged in a battle of such magnitude. A band of more than 1000 Sioux Indians was brought to Cheyenne, Wy- oming, from their reservation at Pine Ridge, North Dakota, for the purposes of this stupendous picture. "The Pony Express" coming to the New Evanston on Monday next, fea- tures Betty Compson, Ricardo Cortez, Ernest Torrence and Wallace Beery. The screen play is by Walter Woods, from an original story by himself and Henry James Forman. THE HOYBURN Although Anita Stewart plays the role of a half-caste South Sea island girl in Peter B. Kyne's "Never the Twain Shall Met", which is coming to the Hoyburn Theatre next Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday, she wears, nevertheless, a bautiful costumes during the scenes which take place in the United States. Among the notable screen produc- tions that have enlisted Lewis Stone's talent for characterizations are to be noted "The River's End," "The Talk- er," "Confessions of a Queen," "Why Men Leave Home," "Scaramouche," "Prisoner of Zenda," "The Lost World" and, most recently, "The Lady Who Lied." Virginia Valli and Nita Naldi are co-featured with Stone in * Newell & Retchin The House of Harmony HOWARD Continuous Every Day--=2:15 to 11:15 N. W.

All North Shore Trains Stop at Howard COMMUNITY HOUSE bewildering array of | Reviews of the Week By Thespian STAGE Desire Under The Elms Princess Theatre Here is Eugene O'Neill's melo- dramatic picture of New England life in 1850; the play that enjoyed such a successful run in New York and which excited such a torrent of com- ment from those who saw it there. It is not a pretty story, this tale of the hard-hearted farmer of '76 who takes to himself a third wife and later the last named. The picture is booked for the Hoyburn theatre next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. discovers her affair with one of his sons. It is a plain unvarnished picture as O'Neill sees it with every spade called by its proper name. Every member of the family is hard and cold and selfish and they run the full gamut of emotions from greed to murder. The author believes, apparently, in re- vealing the true nature of each of his characters down to the last detail and it is hard to think of any he has omitted in this play. One 1s not far from shuddering as the sons pine for the death of their father that they may obtain the farm or when the new wife lays her licentious plans toward the same end. There is no glossing of situations, no sparing of language if it fits the occasion and no happy circumstances to end the play that the masses may rejoice. Rather it is Eugene O'Neill in a bold and virile play in which Walter Huston, Charles Ellis and Mary Morris handle the author's lines much as I imagine he would have them handled.
