But--when the lavish surroundings are used, the story must be even greater--or the spectacle will overshadow the story. This is the theory on which Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer produced "Women Love Diamonds," the sensational new drama of the Idle Rich, coming Mon- day to the New Evanston theater. The story, a terrific expose of modern so- ciety, has a dramatic theme so big it almost leaves its audience breathless. Pauline Starke plays the heroine in the new picture, with Owen Moore as the hero. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Lionel Barrymore have the two next important roles in the unique drama, and others in the cast include Cissy Fitzgerald, George Cooper, Gwen Lee, Dorothy Phillips, Carol Wines, and others of equal note. Edmund Goulding, who directed the new story, is also its author. THE NORSHORE "Venus of Venice" Constance Talmadge has a colorful story of Venice, that enchanting city of canals where romance seems to beckon in the dancing splashes of light from each glowing window, with mys* tery and adventure lurking in the shadows beyond in "Venus of Venice," coming to the Norshore theater on Monday. It is a story of a hoydenish gypsy | of the waterways whose capacity for thievery and mischief is seemingly lim- itless; a madcap feared by police and citizenry alike, yet charming and lov- able withal. And the added complica- tion of an impulsive American artist who attempts to remould her sorry scheme of things, with a most surpris- ing result. TEATRO DEL LAGO "Don Juan" "Don Juan," to be presented on Monday and Tuesday at Teatro del Lago, is one of the season's most bril- liant productions. It is meritorious by reason of Mr. John Barrymore's acting, of the good acting by all the players, of the skillful direction and of the lavishness with which it has been produced. One's attention is held tight from the beginning to the end. In some situations the spectator is thrilled. Such situations are the ones that show the hero (Mr. Barry- more) rescuing the heroine and him- self from sure death at the hands of the Borgia, particularly of Lucretia, who had planned to poison the heroine's father so 'that she might force her to marry one of the Borgia and thus the field for "conquering" the hero might be left all to herself. The heroic feats in those scenes and in others win the spectator's admira- tion for Mr. Barrymore, as the hero; his marvellous acting naturally helps make those situations more realistic. As a lover, Mr. Barrymore, as the legendary Spanish character of Lord Byron's poem has not been excelled on the screen; on can count over one hundred kisses throughout the picture. Estelle Taylor, as Lucretia Borgia, the famous poisoner, is very good. Mary Astor is good also as the heroine. Every member of the cast, in fact, has | done good work under the skillful di- rection of Mr. Alan Crossland. The story concerns the son (hero) of a Noble Spaniard, who, because he which to choose. innovations.
