KY pit 8S August 14, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 29 Stage and Screen News and Reviews HOYBURN THEATRE One of the most promising of the new crops of photoplays is "Padlock- ed," Rex Beach's powerful story, which is now being shown at the Hoyburn theatre. This screen play not only boasts the authorship of Rex Beach, one of America's most gifted writers of fic- tion, but the flawless direction of Al- lan Dawn and the meritorious acting of Lois Moran, Louise Dresser and Noah Beery--three factors that make it well worth seeing. Another strong point in the pic- ture's favor is the unusual array of talent Director Dawn has assembled to support the featured players. Flo- rence Turner, one of filmdom's old favorites, has returned after several vears of retirement, to play the sym- pathetic role of the mother. Helen Jerome Eddy, admittedly one of the former. Allan Simpson, famous as the Arrow Collar model, has the hero part of the youthful society mil- lionaire. Others in the impressive cast include Charles Lane, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Richard Arlen. The story originally appeared in the Cosmopolitan magazine as a se- rial and created nation-wide interest, because it was recognized as faith- fully mirroring modern life and morals. Its theme deals with the conflict be- tween the strong individualism of our growing youth and the narrow con- ventionalism of the older folk. The action centers around a typical family, the father of which is a stern, Puritanical reformer, whose efforts at oppression and repression bring about his wife's accidental death and forces screen's outstanding character actres- ses, is ideally cast as a woman re- his daughter to run away from home. The girl seeks a career on Broadway and becomes a dancer in a fashionable cabaret patronized by the wealthy so- ciety set. Dramatic complications pile up with stirring rapidity, but eventual- ly love and happiness triumph. VILLAGE THEATRE "The Volga Boatman," from the story by Konrad Bercovici, which created a sensation when shown in Chicago recently, will be the feature attraction at the Village theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 16, 17 and 18. The picture deals with Russia in the days just be- fore and after the revolution and be- sides having a strong plot it is an ex- ceedingly realistic production. In ad- dition there will be a Pathe comedy and news reel. On Thursday, July 19, Pasty Ruth Miller and Clive Brooks will be seen in their latest picture "Why Girls Go 3ack Home." Patsy Ruth Miller and Clive Brooks are co-featured in this story of a girl who was so fascinated by a handsome ~atinee idol that she followed him to New York and to disillusionment. Starting in the chorus she won star- dom on her own merit after she had heen spurred on by the actor's indif- ference. His later love for her, their reconciliation and marriage, sent her back home to show off the handsome husband she had won to the home folks. There will also be a comedy, "The Alpine Flappers" and Pathe review. Surrounded by an excellent cast and supplied with one of the most thrilling stories of the West ever brought to the silversheet, Tom Mix, as Jeff Boy- den, gives a remarkably fine perform- ance in "Hard Boiled," Fox Films version of Shannon Fife's romantic tale of a dude ranch, which comes to the Village theatre next Friday and Saturday, August 20 and 21. Tn this, his latest release, the gieat Western ace finds, upon leaving his comfortable home in Chicago, that crooks are crooks--no matter where they are encountered. In this particular case, the bad men are New York gun artists, headed by one Diamond Sadie, and they are bent upon mischief in the Far West. A Snub Pollard comedy, "Harvest Hands," a Sportlight reel, "Nervous Moments," and a Pathe news reel will complete the bill. Cinru Continuous from 1:30 to 11 P.
