, Jo. by November 20, 1926 WINNETKA TALK At the Movies VILLAGE THEATER "Private Izzy Murphy," the Warner picture which comes to the Village theatre on Monday and Tuesday, No- vember 22 and 23, deals with an east side Jew boy in New York who en- lists with the "fighting 69th," the Irish regiment that gained war fame as the 165th infantry in the 42nd Division. The story plays a new variation on Irish-American-Jewish theme, that swept the country in "Abie's Irish Rose." A Mermaid comedy, "Pink Elephants," and a Pathe Review will be the added attraction. The rivalry which existed in real life between Red Grange and George Wil- son for football honors crops out on the screen again in "One Minute to Play," where Wilson, All American half back of the University of Wash- ington and runner up to Grange as the greatest football player in the country heads the team which opposes Grange in the big screen battle. This great picture comes to the Village theatre on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, November 24, 25, and 26. "Jolly Tars" will be the comedy and a Pathe Re- view will also be shown. "War Paint," Metro-Goldwyn-May- er's initial step in that organization's invasion of the field of western drama, was directed by W. S. Van Dyke, vet- eran western director of films. Col Tim McCoy, said to be the leading authority on the North American In- dian, plays the leading part. It will be shown on Saturday the 27. THE NORSHORE "My Official Wife," which opened at the Norshore theater Sunday for a run of four days, is a screen version of the stage melodrama by Charles Blaney, which had a sensational suc- cess all over the world in the 'nineties. It is a tale of Russia and Austria in the days when Czars and Emperors rode the storm of swirling intrigue seems as vividly alive today according to all reports, as when it first was pro- duced. The screen version, by Graham Baker, was directed by Paul Stein, the Viennese, who was imported by Warner Bros. as a second Lubitsch. "My Official Wife" is his first Ameri- can production. Irene Rich and Con- way Tearle are featured in the lead- ing roles. Miss Rich appears as a Rus- sian Countess who goes out in mas- querade as a peasant and is captured by six young noblemen, who hold her for a night in an inn, where they" cast lots for her. Mr. Tearle plays the Grand Duke's son, who wins her in a lottery. The swift-moving story tells of the Countess's revenge. THE NEW EVANSTON "Concentrated Comicality" is said to describe the screen adaptation of the novel, "There You Are" which will come to the screen at the New Evans- ton, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Conrad Nagel, "Evanston's Own," and Edith Roberts head the cast. The story is that of a pair of elopers pur- sued by an angry papa and a city traffic squad. "The Millionaire," featuring Louise Fazenda and George Sidney, is the cur- rent offering at the New Evanston. THE HOYBURN Scenes filmed at one of the big mills of the United States Steel Corporation in Birmingham feature the picture, "Men of Steel," which stars Milton Sills and comes to the Hoyburn theater Monday. The picture has been rated one of the notable films of the late issues. Its scenes were screened in the mines and mills of the United States Steel corporation. Doris Kenyon, Mae Al- lison, George Fawcett and others are in the supporting cast. "The Strong Man," featuring Harry Langdon, is the current showing at the Hoyburn. It is said to keep its audience in uproar through its length.
