M v in April 17, 1926 WINNETKA STALK 33 Stage and Screen News and Reviews VILLAGE THEATRE Richard Dix, in one of his funniest comedies, will be seen at the village theatre next Monday and Tuesday, April 19 and 20. This picture is called "Womanhandled" and deals with the cfforts of a wealthy young New Yorker to win the girl of his heart by proving himself a real "he-man" from the west. His efforts to gonvert his thoroughly modern ranch in Texas into an old- fashioned western ranch furnish a laugh a minute throughout the picture. In addition there will be a Harry [Langdon comedy, "Boobs in the Woods" and a Pathe news reel. Rex Beach wrote "The Goose Wom- an," a Universal-Jewel which is com- ing Wednesday and Thursday, April 21 and 22, with an all-star cast. The story was taken from an actual mur- der case which happened in the East. In the cast are Louise Dresser, Jack Pickford, Constance Bennett, Spottis- wood Aitken, Gustav Von Seyffertitz, George Nichols and Marc MacDermott. "Moving Day," a Helen and Warren comedy, and a Pathe news reel will complete the program. Rex Beach's "Winds of Chance" will be the feature attraction on Friday and Saturday, April 23 and 24. Anna Q. Nilsson, Viola Dana, Ben Lyon, Victor MclLaglen, Hobart Bosworth, Dorothy Sebastian, Claude Gilling- water, Philo McCollough, Charles Crockett, Fred Kohler, John T. Murray and Wade Boteler are among the prin- ciple members of the company which has reenacted the thrilling struggles and romance of the Alaskan gold rush of 1897 and 1898 which Mr. Beach wove into an absorbing yarn. "Winds of Chance" is said to rep- resent the most accurate film play of its kind ever attempted, and, produced by the man who made the famous "The Sea Hawk" on the same pretentious scale, the pictorial story of our last frontier, with its wildness, its unique friendships, its quick fortunes and its failures, is reputed to be replete with thrilling incidents, surprises and tense dramatic scenes. In addition there is an Our Gang comedy, "Better Movies," and a Pathe news reel. Watch for the an- nouncement regarding the Buster Brown contest to be staged soon by the Village theatre. Some lucky boy is going to win a wonderful prize. THE NEW EVANSTON Ricardo Cortez and Greta Garbo will be seen at the New Evanston theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day in "The Torrent," from the great novel by Ibanez. This picture tells the story of a great love, and give Cortez a chance to display some of his best brand of acting. In addition there will be a Helen and Warren comedy, "Moving Day" and the usual news weekly and features. . Miss Garbo, brought to the M-G-M studios following her sensational European success in "Goesta Ber- ling," a Swedish film, plays a vivid Spanish opera singer in the new Blasco Ibanez story. The cast is a notable one, including, besides Ricardo Cortez in the leading male role, Gertrude Olmsted, Tully Marshall and Mario Carillo. Monta Bell is the director. HOYBURN THEATRE "Infatuation," with Corinne Griffith, will be the feature attraction at the Hoyburn theatre next Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday, April 19, 20 and 21. This story is filmed against the exotic background of the British em- bassy in Eygpt. Miss Griffith takes the part of a young wife neglected by her older husband, the ambassador, who is absorbed in his work. Percy Marmont takes the part of the hus- band and is unusually good in it. All the characters are well cast and pre- sent a pleasing performance and some of the settings are magnificent. The plot is good and has an unusual twist at the end which you will like. "The Sap," William A. Grew's play in which Raymond Hitchcock scored a hit during a long New York run, and which, in the hands of other stage companies, has since been repeating its triumphs all over the country, has been picturized and will Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The part which Hitchcock played, and which Edward Everett Horton took during a notable run at the Ma- jestic theatre, Loos Angeles, is played by Kenneth Harlan. The cast also includes Mary McAlister, Heinie Con- klin, David Butler, Eulalie Jensen and John Cossar. Erle Kenton directed. Children Turn Thoughts Toward Garden Ventures Many of the bulbs which were planted last fall by the children of Horace Mann school in the limited plats available for this purpose on the school grounds, are beginning to force their way through the earth, much to the delight of the children. The bulbs were donated and Miss Hazel Hartwell principal of the school, and the teachers in general are en- couraging the children to develop these flowering plants, and should there be others who wish to aid in this work, bulbs for spring planting will be acceptable at this time. There are more than 400 children enrolled at Horace Mann. After de- ducting from the school grounds that portion occupied by the building, there 1s a small area left for playground pur- poses, and very little for landscaping. However, the school, in general, is taking commendable pride in the planting and care of the available small area and the children are being encouraged in every way possible. The regular monthly meeting of the Woman's guild of Christ church took place Monday. Following the board meeting at 11:30 in the morning, a luncheon was served, and an address given.
