It's a comedy with | plenty of speed and action; laughs and | then more laughs and--well, Denny. | The story runs just about as follows: | The cheerful fraud (Denny) returns to | find his home town all wet and um- | brellas as scarce as hen's teeth on a | giraffe. One of the cutest little girls | imaginable, the kind you read about, is [standing in the rain getting all wet, too. He follows her home--meets | himself there and gets mixed up with {the family "jewels" and a lurid blonde "gold digger" who passes herself as his wife. There's a hectic flight in a runaway automobile and--Dbetter see it. "Her Father Said No" "Her father said No," but instead of making a tragedy of it, the beauti- ful young girl turned it into a comedy and eventually everything ended hap- pily for her. This story, from the pen of H. C. Witwer, is offered by F. B. 0. as one of the Gold Bond Specials, and will be shown on Wednesday and Thursday. The paternal objections are based solely on the fact that the young man who receives the "No" is a prize fighter and father has a very decided aversion to that profession. When the boy, all for the sake of love, changes his livelihood, father still can't think of him in any other light, and it is up to the enamoured youth to con- vince him of his worth. The girl and boy are played by Mary Brian and Danny O'Shea. "Somewhere in Sonora," the new First National picture produced by Charles R.

For, while it deals with Mexico and bandits, this will be one motion picture in which the abused Mexican will not appear as the villain. In fact, it is the Mexican who is exploited as the hero, playing up his friendship for the man across the border who is willing to give him a square deal. It will be presented on Friday and Saturday. MINTURN PLAYERS "The Home Towners "The Home Towners," that engag- ing farce comedy by George M. Cohan which opens next Monday night at the New Evanston theater is a story of what happened when a chap came all the way from South Bend to New York bent on making trouble. Those who have seen the piece all agree that he made plenty of trouble, but in doing so he affords an evening of laughter such as has not echoed in theaters in many a day. At last he becomes converted to the fact that his old pal is not the victim of scheming parents who are trying to leech him of his fortune, using their beautiful daughter as bait, and the play ends with an hilarious flourish. That Cohan's products for the thea- ter are among the 'best and cleanest is well known to theatergoers. Like- wise that "The Home Towners" 's typical Cohan is shown in the manner it has been received wherever shown. THE NORSHORE "Heaven on Earth" Renee Adoree is wearing long hair for the first time in many motion pic- ture moons in Phil Rosen's production of "Heaven on Earth," the Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer picture which comes to the Norshore theater on Sunday, and picture fans are due for a sur- prise when they see her. Conrad Nagel appears opposite Miss Adoree, and Gwen Lee, Pat Hartigan, Marcie Manon and Julia Swayne Gor- don complete the cast. The story was adapted to the screen by Marion Ortlr and Harry Gates. 107 Village Theatre WILMETTE, ILL. Your Home Theater J. B. Koppel, Managing Director Phone Wilmette 1441 Evenings 7:30; Mat. Tues.
