March 5, 1927 WINNETKA. TALK Stage and Screen News and Reviews VILLAGE THEATRE "Paradise for Two," showing at the Village on Monday and Tuesday, is a comedy-drama, Richard Dix as the young American bachelor who in- herited a fortune but had to get mar- ried to get it. Betty Bronson is feat- ured as Sally Lane, the pretty little stage struck girl who poses as wife to help him collect the legacy. The picture was adapted from an orig- inal story written especially for the screen by Howard Emmett Rogers. "Oh, Baby," to be presented Wed- nesday, is the story of a diminutive prize-fight manager who disguises as a little girl to gblige a friend. The principle -ole is played by Little Billy, pint size actor, who hails from Lynn, Massachusetts. 'Billy was at one time a headliner on the Orpheum circuit and was also known to Broadway in "Mama's Affair" and "Linger Longer 'Letty," Oh, Baby" is a feature length comedy and includes scenes from The Twin Oaks, the newest night club to be popularized along the Great White Way. "We're in the Navy Now," coming Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, is one of the season's best comedies and features Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton, star performers in "Behind the Front." In it the boys take the part of a pair of gobs who join the United States navy by mistake. It deals with the mishaps which they get into and create by their utter "dumbness" and is one convulsion after another for the audience. Nothing more comic has been thrown on the screen for some time. The plot is a good bit like the one used in "Behind the Front" but the situations are even better worked out and are more orig- inal. with his THE NORSHORE "Faust," the UFA production re- leased through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and coming to the Norshore theater Sunday, is said to be one of the most spectacular films ever made. It is based on the famous Goethe legend, and has Emil Jannings in the role of Mephisto, the Spirit of Evil. A large and talented cast of foreign players interprets the film under the direction of F. W. Murnau, one of Germany's leading directors. Particular interest attaches to the appearance of a new and important screen discovery in the role of Mar- ~uerite. This is Camilla Horn, a 20- year-old girl whose beauty and sensi- tive response to the camera have roused great expectations. Gosta Ek- man plays the title role, and Valentine, the heroine's brother, is played by Wil- helm Dieterle. THE VARSITY "The Lunatic at Large," featuring Leon Errol and Dorothy Mackaill, is on the screen tomorrow and Satur- day at the Varsity, a picture replete with thrills of a variety, a comedy that is delighting wherever shown. "The Winning of Barbara Worth," will be the showing in the early week, Ronald Colman and Vilma Banky starred in the screen version of the Harold Bell Wright story. Next Fri- day and Saturday the attraction will be "Hills of Kentucky" starring Rin- Tin-Tin as "the gray ghost." Barbara Jane is the name of the daughter born to Mr. and Mrs. Gould C. Davis of Ravinia at the Evanston hospital February 22. Our Boy Scouts AT THE EVANSTON THEATRES The leaders of the Boy Scout troops are filing their monthly reports on their progress during February, and are anxiously awaiting the report of the committee, which will decide who will win the inter-troop efficiency award for the first time.
