December 12, 1925 WINNETKA TALK 47 Stage and Screen News and Reviews OLYMPIC THEATRE "Castles in the Air" seems to be settled at the Olympic for something of a run. It is a musical comedy with the characteristics of an operetta. There is in it much good fun. clever dancing and sweet singing, the latter including a song, "Lantern of Love" which bids fair to become decidedly successful. Bernard Granville is much in evidence with his usually clever work and has able assistance from Vivienne Segal and Irving Beebe. Increasing attend- ance, bordering on capacity, indicates that the customers like the show and well they may. LA SALLE THEATRE Mr. William Hodge, author of and actor in "The Judge's Husband," is now comfortably settled at the La- Salle where the play is in evidence following a brief stay at the Adelphi. Mr. Hodge has written a clean, clever and entertaining comedy in which he assumes the role of housekeeper and nurse while his wife ascends the bench as judge of the Circuit Court, enters politics generally and plans a campaign to win for herself the governorship of Connecticut. He has a part which should please him as well as any he has had in the past and one which should be eminently satisfactory to the many "Hodge" fans. Ruth Lyons and Marie Haynes prove worthy as- sistants and local color is added through the appearance of Miss Marigold Langworthy of Winnetka. MAJESTIC THEATRE The "Frolics of 1925" attempts to head-line the Majestic program this week but has a hard time of it partly due to the personal characteristics of two young men who introduce the six song and dance members of the act. But other good acts made up for this. Arthur Jarrett and his company were popular with their familiar sketch of domestic life, "Dance Dreams," a pre- tentious dancing act with seven people found ready favor and Stuart and Lash in a comedy patter and dance act, worked hard. One of the best of the offerings was Kerr and Ensign, in which the former tries to sell the latter a violin. One of the real clever animal acts, Gus Thalero and his Gang, closed the bill. VILLAGE THEATRE Conrad's famous novel; "Lord Jim," has been put on the screen and will be shown at the Village theatre next Monday and Tuesday, December 14 and 15. Percy Marmont takes the leading role of the tragic hero of this tale and does some of the best acting of his career. The cast includes Ray- mond Hatton, Shirley Mason and Noah Beery. There will also be a Mermaid comedy, "Hot and Heavy" and a Pathe news reel. At the Tuesday afternoon matinee, only the fourth chapter of the serial "Wild West" will be shown. On Wednesday and Thursday, De- cember 16 and 17, "The Best People," starring Warner Baxter will be the feature attraction. There will also be a two reel comedy, "In and Out" and a Pathe review. Charles Ray will appear in his latest picture, "Some Pumpkins," on Friday and Saturday, December 18 and 19. In this production Charlie returns to the kind of a part which made him famous in the beginning--the innocent coun- try lad. The first of a series of Buster Brown comedies entitled "Buster Brown's Nightmare" will be shown and the bill will be completed with a Pathe news reel. THE NEW EVANSTON D. W. Griffith's great picture "That Royle Girl," from the pen of the Ev- anston novelist Edwin Balmer will start Monday, December 14, at the New Evanston theatre. This is the picture for which scenes were taken in Chicago last summer. The cast includes Carol Dempster, James Kirk- wood, W. C. Fields, whom many will remember as a star in Ziegfield's Fol- lies for years, and Harrison Ford. The production is one of the best that Grif- fith has done and aside from the in- terest it creates because of its local setting it is a picture no one would want to miss. HOWARD THEATRE Doris Kenyon is coming to the How- ard theatre Sunday, Monday and Tues- day, December 13, 14 and 15, in her newest picture, "The Halfway Girl." Miss Kenyon is supported by an ex- cellent cast, 'including Lloyd Hughes. On Wednesday and Thursday, Decem- ber 16 and 17, the feature attraction will be "The People vs. Nancy Pres- ton." Friday and Saturday, Decem- Fer 18 and 19, "The Only Thing" will be the main attraction with the usual comedy and news weekly. HOYBURN THEATRE Constance Talmadge will be seen in her new production "Her Sister From Paris" at the Hoyburn theatre next Monday; Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, December 14, 15, 16 and 17. This picture is especially suited to Miss Talmadge's type. It is the story of a young wife who teaches her hus- band to show his love for her by play- ing the part of her own sister. It is full of laughs and the acting is good throughout. There will also be a comedy and news weekly. Warren Pease, 320 Leicester road, Kenilworth, also spent the week-end at the Wild Wing club.
