Tibrary Plaza Orrington Avenue at Church Street Phone University 8000 Exclusive * Homelike THE NORSHORE The famous Montmartre section of Paris with its quaint cafes and tem- peramental artists forms the setting of Bebe Daniels' latest Paramount star- ring vehicle, "A Kiss in a Taxi," com- ing to the Norshore Theatre, starting Sunday. Bebe is cast as the pretty fiery-tem- pered waitress of the Cafe Pierre whose penchant for throwing crockery at the heads of insistent admirers gets ber into all sorts of difficulty. She finds herself in love with Lucien Cam- bolle (Douglas Gilmore) an unsuccess- ful artist whose father forbids their marriage. Comic situations pile one on the other to culminate in an hilarious end- ing. Chester Conklin goes through an entirely new repertoire of antics in ex- pressing disapproval of being made a goat. Director Clarence Badger is said to have got the utmost out of situations already intensely humor- ous, not neglecting any opportunity to inject sly touches. : Supporting Miss Daniels is a strong cast of well-known actors, notably Agostino Borgato, who played twelve years with Elinor Duse; and Henry Kolker and Richard Tucker, both of whom have delighted countless audi- ences in the past. Louise Dresser, featured in support of Dolores Costello, star of "The Third Degree," the Warner Bros. production playing Wednesday and Thursday at the Village Theatre, began her career in light opera and musical comedy, in which she won an enviable position. Her screen career has included mar- velous character parts in such films as "The Glory of Clementine," "Enter Madame," "The Prodigal Daughter," "The Goose Woman," "Padlocked," Warner Brothers' "Broken Hearts of Hollywood." Jack Ho!'t, who rides as though he were a part of the horse, and who uses his fists with the best of them is the personification of gallant heroic action, who lives the life he portrays on the screen. Minturns at Best in "Turn to the Right" By HUB Well, "Turn to the Right," produced this week at the New Evanston, was a surprise; a delightful surprise. Upon occasion we have donned our best silk muffler and ambled in to the city to see the latest. At times we have re- turned parked midway down the IL car, swearing by all that's according to Bill Shakespeare that we'll never wear out our disposition nor turn our clocks ahead a quarter of an hour for another play. : Of course we never kept our prom- ise and of course we've seen other plays that caused us to shout over the back fence to our nearest neighbor, "Have you seen 'Sally Ann' at the Mug- wump? Oh be sure to see it. You're certain to like it." "Turn to the Right" was of the latter denomination. Taken as a whole, it was very nicely presented. The stage sets, while not elaborate, were appropriate and well worked out. There were incidental touches that made them fit into the story. In that connection perhaps the most outstanding bit of side play in the entire production came in the last act. Joe and his bride were going across the hills to their new home. In order to save a long walk, a car was borrowed. Under ordinary circum- stances the curtain would have dropped with just the intimation that such a thing was done, but as the last scene closed, a miniature car was seen making its way across the painted road that led up the long hill. It was a decidedly clever bit of detail, although coming somewhat as an anti- climax. Among the players, probably the two most outstanding were Muggs and Mrs. Bascom, played by Mr. Minturn and Miss Ethel Ramsdell. They were the most consistent in holding charac- ter and undoubtedly the more finished actors. As a group the entire Min- turn company was very pleasing. Sometimes, even in the biggest produc- tions, the players do not seem to work together. Their acting is individual and jerky. Not so in "Turn to the Right." The whole company at all times, with the possible exception of the prologue, worked in a perfectly na- tural way--and together. Quebec for Empress sailing. Class throughout, $1500.
