pion J ae | a------------------ TR Tune 5, 1926 WINNETKA TALK al Stage and Screen News and Reviews THE NEW CAMPUS Fox Films officials, in seiecting the cast for "Siberia," screen version of Bartley Campbell's memorable play which will be seen at the New Campus theatre next week, carried out their determination to fill the respective parts with the best-known and most talented actors available. As a conse- quence, this Victor Schertzinger pro- duction boasts one of the most pre- rentious casts ever assembled on the West Coast. Alma Rubens, seen in the feminine role, has long been one of America's foremost screen stars. She has starred in numerous successes, but no role in which she has appeared in recent months fits her more admirably than that of "Sonnia," the hectored daughter of a Russian overlord. Edmund lowe, cast as a dashing officer of the Czar's Guard, plays op- posite Miss Rubens with his usual en- thusiasm. Although this role is wholly different from any he has yet essayed, Lowe found little difficulty in adapting himself to the Russian surroundings. Schertzinger is authority for the state- ment that Lowe gives one of the most sympathetic portrayals of his career. leading Claire McDowell has the featured part of Molly O'Shea in "The Sham- rock Handicap," which will be another attraction shown next week. It is a story by Peter B. Kyne, directed by John Ford. Janet Gaynor, who had the role of Anna Burger heroine of "The Johns- town Flood," Leslie Fenton and J. Far- rell MacDonald, famous as Corporal Casey in "The Iron Horse," have the principal roles. Others in the cast are Georgie Har- ris, Brandon Hurst, Andy Clark, Louis Payne, Thomas Delmar, Willard Louis and Ely Reynolds. VILLAGE THEATRE In "That's My Baby," coming to the Village theatre on Monday and Tues- day, June 7 and 8, Douglas Maclean proves that lavish settings and gorgeous backgrounds, when combined with hilarious comedy and riotous thrills, double the entertaiment value of a picture. Much of the important action in this new rollicking MacLean vehicle is played against the background of a huge charity Turkish bazaar. Color, gaiety and dozens of lovely girls clad in alluring harem costumes make up a magnificent scene that adds a touch of extravagant beauty to the fast and furious fun. Because of its size and oriental splendor, the setting is said to mark something of a record for interior comedy backgrounds. Certainly it sup- plies a note of spectacular, pictorial beauty seldom seen in comic filin pro- ductions. As for the plot, it is a decidedly spirited affair that starts out in rapid- fire fashion and gains speed with every click of the camera. MacLean plays a young chap who falls in love with a beautiful ankle, starts a whirl- wind courtship of the ankle's charming owner only to find himself suddenly handicapped by the possession of a baby, which not only cramps his romance but menaces his life. The girl starts on a trip; life-and- death complications force Douglas to overtake her. He hasn't time to turn the youngster over. to the police or locate the parents, so he takes him along. The rip-roaring chase that fol- lows is the maddest, merriest and diz- ziest climax the screen has produced in many moons. Further fun will be provided by a Hal Roach comedy featuring Theda | Bara. To complete the bill there will be a Pathe news reel. Safety razors and shaving creams have taken on new meaning to Adolphe Menjou. You see, "A So- cial Celebrity," the Paramount star's latest production, presents him as a white-coated barber. As Max Haber, he decides that as the opportunities of his small home town are so limited, he may as well head for the big city. Arrived there, the only job he can get is that of an assistant tonsorial artist in the shop of a hotel. One day he is sent to the home of Ten Eyck Stuyvesant, a rather good natured youth of ample wealth. In an effort to amuse his bored friends, "Tenny" takes his newly made barber acquaintance to a reception in 'borrowed clothes, and introduces him as the Count Havare de Maxin. And in that you have the beginning of Adolphe Menjou's new picture. It just teems with amusing instances, and is packed with the sort of humor which movie goers are beginning to expect from him. Malcolm St. Clair who so successfully directed Menjou's last film, "The Grand Dutchess and the Waiter," again handled the megaphone. Louise Brooks and Chester Conklin are seen to advantage in featured roles. The ~riginal storv was written by Monte Katterjohn. - "A Social Celebrity" is to be shown at the Village Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday, June 9 and 10. There will also be a Helen and War- ren comedy, "Too Many Relations," and a Pathe review. The feature picture on Friday and Saturday, June 11 and 12, will be "Chip of the Flying U," with Hoot Gibson taking the leading role. HOYBURN THEATRE An unusually strong cast has been ~athered by John McCormick to sup- port Colleen Moore in her latest star- ring feature, "Irene," based on the musical comedy stage hit of the same name. The picture, which has been released through First National. comes to the Hoyburn theatre next Monday. Lloyd Hughes plays opposite the star. This player is exceedingly popu- lar, especially among the fair fans. It Village Theatre HED Your Home Theatre J. C. Koppel, Managing Director Evenings 7:30-9; Mat.
