June 12, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 55 Stage and Screen News and Reviews VILLAGE THEATRE The opening scenes of "Let's Get Married," a new Paramount picture starring Richard Dix supported by Lois Wilson, are laid in the swirling motor traffic of Park avenue and Riverside Drive, in New York. In making these scenes it was necessary for Director Gregory La Cava to ac- tually hire trafic. Not that there wasn't enough moving along--there really was too much--but it was neces- sary to have a considerable number of taxicabs, limousines and other motor vehicles which could be guided accord- ing to program at just the right moment. Miss Wilson skimmed through traffic, zig-zagging, sidewiping other cars and forcing them into the curb. Dix poked along in a dinky little electric while high-powered gasoline cars whizzed past and around him. In order to accomplish this it was necessary to have eight or ten cars with each driver carefully instructed from a chart showing the position of his car as each scene progressed. Working out this intricate bit of business in the midst of hundreds of other automobiles whirling down Riyerside Drive was much like maneuvering a football team, each player of which must know exactly what he is to do and where he is to go upon a given signal. In order to accomplish this, La Cava simply hired a section of traffic and trained it. "Let's Get Married" comes to the Village theatre next Monday and Tues- day, June 14 and 15. Luther Reed adapted it from "The Man From Mexico," Du Souchet's stage success. There will also be a Mack Sennett comedy, "Love Sunday," featuring Alice Day, and a Pathe news reel. On Wednesday, June 16, the feature attraction will be "The Sap," with an all star cast including Kenneth Harlan, David Butler, Mary McAllister and others. In addition there will be an Aesop's Fable, "Up 'in the Air," and a Pathe review. If one loves beautiful gowns, silks, satins, frills and flares, it is best not to miss Colleen Moore's "Irene," her latest First National feature, coming to the Village theatre on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 17 18 and 19. Colleen promises to make everybody sit up and take notice when her gowns are flashed upon the screen. Sixty of the pick of Hollywood's prettiest girls form the background for her appear- ance in these scenes. Alfred E. Green directed the picture for First National. The fashion show is preceded by some beautiful shots showing Madame Lucy's designing es- tablishment. Madame Lucy is por- traved by George K. Arthur, who is said to give a splendid performance in a most difficult role. The entire fashion show episode is done in color, which seems to be quite the vogue nowadays, practically fitting to sequences such as those that are seen in "Irene." A Hal Roach comedy, "The Golf Bug," and a Pathe news reel will com- plete the bill. THE NEW CAMPUS Should a young married couple live within their income, or should they "put on a big splurge," as the saying goes, in order to get ahead? This is the problem on which "Early to Wed," the Fox Films production coming to the New Campus theatre next Monday and Tuesday, is based. The plot is cleverly worked out, the situations are very real and the pa- thetic humor is irrestible. Matt Moore and Kathryn Perry are co-featured in the leading roles and | make a typical young American couple. The supporting cast is especial- ly well choosen including Zasu Pitts, Rodney Hilderbarnd, Ross Mec- Cutcheon, Arthur Housman, Belva McKay, Albert Gran, Julia Swayne Gordon and Harry Bailey. "Grass," the Paramount picture which will be an added attraction these itwo days, is not a tale of fiction in which the author has endeavored to get over his point with the aid of studio sets or sterling actors. It is a slice of real life and of real people. In the picture, the spectator is taken back 3,000 years from our present day civilization, to the Baktyari, a forgot- ton people who still live as did their forefathers. thirty centuries ago. Portraying for the screen an erup- tion of Mount La Pelee on the French West Indian island of Martinique, which destroyed the city of St. Pierre and wiped out 28,000 lives, is the huge undertaking which was accomplished during the filming of "Volcano 1", Wil- liam K. Howard's new dramatic pro- duction for Paramount, whoch will be shown Wednesday and Thursday. "Tony Runs Wild," Fox Films latest Tom Mix production, will be the feature attraction on Friday and Sat- urday. The setting for "Tony Runs Wild" is along the Apache trail in Arizona's land of wonderful scenery. The action of the story carries the picture to the exterior and through the interiors of the ancient Cliff Dwellings, homes of a race that vanished from America centuries ago. HOYBURN THEATRE Blanche Sweet and Jack Mulhall will be seen this Friday and Satur- day at the Hoyburn in "The Far Cry.' There will also be a cartoon comedy concerning the adventures of Felix the Cat. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the feature attraction will be "Hell Bent for Heaven," in which Patsy Ruth Miller and Johnny Har- ron take leading roles. This is one of their new comedy-thrillers, which goes at a mile-a-minute pace and has a laugh to every mile. There will be the usual two-reel comedy and news events to complete the program. THE NEW EVANSTON "The Cohens and Kellys" is the fea- ture attraction at the New Evanston theatre this week end. This film is a comedy-drama which is as funny as its title suggests. The leading roles are taken by Charles Murray, George Sidney and Vera Gordon. All those who have seen Charles Murray in his character portrayals recently will want to see him in this picture. To prove Charlie's popularity he will be seen again next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in "The Boob," starring Gertrude Olmsted. There will also be the usual comedy and news events. REDECORATE THEATER The Village theatre is at present undergoing complete redecoration and refinishing. The work will take about two weeks to finish, according to J. B. Koppel, manager, who asks that patrons excuse the inconvenience caused by the work. When completed the theatre will be as attractive as any one of its size anywhere, it is said.
