wit o ---- February 27, 1926 WINNETKA TALK Stage and Screen News and Reviews VILLAGE THEATRE The story of the wires and the rails which first linked the west with the east, has been recorded on the screen for the first time. Described by Robert Louis Stevenson as a greater achievement in the world's history than the building of Troy, this tremendous theme furnishes the basis for "The Iron Horse," the Wil- liam Fox super production which comes to the Village theatre next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, March 1, 2, 3, and 4. Names which have come down in history and will go on forever, appear in the cast. Lincoln, Grant, Dodge, Buffalo Bill Cody, Wild Bill Hickok and Bat Masterson are just a few of them. The picture is not a melo- drama, but a spectacular cinema record of the linking of America, based on historical records. The dramatic story has been made into a powerful picture, with George O'Brien, J. Farrell MacDonald and Madge Bellamy in the leading roles. John Ford, the director, used a regi- ment of calvary and four tribes of Indians to add to the color. An enor- mous cast of capable artists supports the principals. In addition there will be an Aesop's Fable, a Pathe news reel on Monday and Tuesday and a Pathe review on Wednesday and Thursday. Due to to the length of the picture, shows will begin at 7:15 and 9 o'clock. Rin-Tin-Tin, the wonder dog, will be seen Friday and Saturday, March 5 and 6, in a new picture of the wild called "The Clash of the Wolves." A strong supporting cast includes June Marlowe. To complete the bill an Our Gang comedy, "Good Cheer" and a Pathe news reel will be shown. THE NEW EVANSTON An interesting experiment was tried by Director Robert Z. Leonard in the making of his production, "Dance Mad- ness," which comes to the New Evanston theatre next Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday. Two light-haired people were asigned to the leading roles of this Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer picture, Clare Windsor, one of the most beautiful of the fair con- tingent of filmland, plays the feminine lead, while Conrad Nagel, one of the few blonde men in the industry, plays opposite her. In "What Happened to Jones" the latest Universal-Jewel coming on Thursday, Friday and Saturday Reginald Denney, impersonates a wom- an for several important sequénces. Being a master of all the manly sports, an athlete, yachtman and expert racing driver, the star had an awful time in trying to perfect his characterization. But Marian Nixon, his leading lady came to the rescue, and gave him several hours' instruction in the manly art of being a woman. That she is a good teacher, or Denny a good pupil, is evident on viewing the scenes on the screen. HOYBURN THEATRE "The Cave Man," a sparkling comedy with Matt Moore and Dorothy Devore in the leading roles, will be the feature attraction at the Hoyburn theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This is a comedy-ro- mance with an unusual twist in it which will appeal to everyone. There is no screen star who can rival Richard Barthelmess in the variety and scope of characterizations he essays. Fans thought he had exhausted every possibility recently when he appeared on .the silver sheet as a West Point cadet and as a "gob," but now "Dick" is to be seen in a role decidedly original--that of a young Italian flower seller--in "The Beautiful City," a First National attraction which is to be the feature attraction on Thursday, Fri- day and Saturday. HOWARD THEATRE Richard Barthelmess in what is called his greatest picture "The Beautiful City" will be seen at the Howard theatre next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, February 28, March 1 and 2. The scene of this picture is laid on the east side of New York City and the film tells a dramatic story of life in the slums. Dorothy Gish plays opposite Barthelmess. On Wed- nesday and Thursday, March 3 and 4, the feature will be "The Road to Yes- terday" and on Friday and Saturday, March 5 and 6, Collen Moore will be seen in "We Moderns," a story of post-war youth. Urge Women of Village to Sew for Philanthropy The philanthropy department of the Woman's Club of Wilmette has ar- ranged that the Friday sev-ing be done in March for the Cook County Hos- pital. All women of the - village, whether they are club members or not, who are interested in charitable work, are cordially invited to attend these meetings which convene at 10 o'clock and last until the latter part of the afternoon. A luncheon is served at 12:30 o'clock. Friday, March 5, and Friday, March 19, are the next meeting days. EXHIBIT PAINTINGS The Duncan Studios, 815 Elm street, have on exhibition and for sale a group of paintings by Herbert Lewis, the well known young American artist. These paintings were recently display- ed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben- jamin F. Langworthy. PUPILS GIVE DANCE A dance given by the Ninth grade of the North Shore Country Day school, at the school gymnasium, Fri- day of last week, proved a most de- lightful affair.

The affair was a huge success from every standpoint, it was said by members of the club. The money raised will go into a scholarship fund to send some" student of the school to France next summer for study and a pleasure trip. It is thought that the practice of holding a Mardi Gras for this purpose will be- come an annual custom at the school. AT N. E. A.
