Kyne's "California," while not such a well known nor as well built a picture, is nevertheless a splen- did film. The story revolves around a romance of the colorful California plains. Presented on Monday and Tuesday it heads in an able manner a week of fine pictures. "The Demi-Bride" Although Norma Shearer has often been seen as a comedienne, she will be seen in a farcical role for the first time when her picture, "The Demi- Bride," in which she is supported by Lew Cody and Carmel Myers, will be shown on Wednesday and Thursday. The screen team of Lew Cody and Norma Shearer have given picture- goers several laugh productions before, and they have always delivered many laughs and completely delightful films, In "The Demi-Bride," they furnish even more fun and screen fare than in their previous productions. In this picture Miss Shearer is first shown as a French school girl who dreams of love and romance. Still as a school girl she meets the most popu- lar bachelor in Paris. How she sets about getting him for her very own-- after she grows up, of course, makes a most delightful screen story. "The Kid Brother" Harold Lloyd hits only the high spots in his latest twelve cylinder laugh provoker, "The Kid Brother," the feature for Friday and Saturday and which comes as his second con- tribution to the screen in the last year. Lloyd is said to present an en- tirely different characterization than his dapper youth of "For Heaven's Sake," taking his boy from the wealth of New York into the hill country. He dons overalls, wears his hair long, (for the first time in his entire career), and presents himself in one of the most appealing characters ever affected be- fore a camera. The story of "The Kid Brother" is just a plain tale of the hills. Tt relates the trials and tribulations of youngest boy in a family of three brothers, and of a father who domin- ates, with the aid of his two older sons, the community in which they live. Powerful in physique, these three tem- per justice with mercy, and rule by the golden code. The kid brother is re- garded by them as an unnecessary ad- junct. It is his efforts to prove himself of just as good stock as his dad and brothers that forms the basis of this story. In his fight to overcome an in- feriority complex, Lloyd is urged on by a romance with Jobyna Ralston, whom the | includes Walter James, as the father; Leo Willis and Olin Francis, as the brothers; Ralph Yearsley, as the bully; and Eddie Boland as the barker with the medicine show. "The Scarlet Letter" to Be Varsity Attraction Announcement that Lilian Gish in "The Scarlet Letter" is a coming at- traction at the Varsity theater, is news '0 stir fans this week. "The Scarlet Letter," one of the world's most dramatic romances and one of America's literary classics, is an elab- orate filmization of the story by Na- thaniel Hawthorne. Miss Gish plays thé role of Hester Prynne, Lars Han- son, the famous Swedish screen star, makes his American debut as Arthur Dimmesdale, and Henry B. Walthall is a member of the supporting cast. The production has been lavishly staged with a complete reproduction of an early Puritan village and nearly 1,000 people appearing in the various scenes. Mary Astor and William Collier, Jr., in "The Sunset Derby" will also come to the Varsity screen soon, it is an- nounced, also Raymond Griffith in "Wedding Bills." The current attraction at the Varsity 's "The Land Beyond the Law," star- ring Ken Maynard. Lloyd Keeps Hand Near World's Amusement Pulse If there's anyone on the stage or screen who knows what the public wants, that man is Harold Lloyd. He is said to have given his admirers more continuous successes than any other satellite of motion pictures; yet, when you come right down to it, he lets the public itself decide what it wants. A prominent New York dramatic critic recently compiled a list of Broadway shows which had sex as their main theme. He enumerated more than forty successes, near suc- cesses, and plain "flops." New York apparently wants the sex stuff, yet the greatest tributes ever paid motion pic- tures in Gotham were given Lloyd's "The Freshman" and "For Heaven's Sake" which smashed all records held by the theaters in which they were featured. Lloyd has assured successes ere his pictures leave the studio, for more than fifteen thousand critics have placed their stamp of approval on his XX XX XY XX XXX XX XX XXX XXX XX XXXII IIIT L TY ' Universal Decorating Studios Interior Decorations 1223 ADDISON STREET CHICAGO Phone Buckingham 6011 EEE SSS SPP ee 00 0000000000000000000 00s r uN Baby Peggy Comes to Norshore in Person Next Week "Frisco Sally Levy," a vividly human comedy romance, opens Sunday at the Norshore theater. Sally O'Neil has been a pet of the flapper fans of the screen for some time --ever since "Sally, Irene and Mary," "The Auction Block," and the rest of her triumphs-- but as the Jewish-Irish daughter in this new story she has every role she ever played faded to mere nothingness. She's a San Francisco flapper with a Jewish father and an Irish mother-- with two lovers, an Irish traffic cop and a Jewish stockbroker--and the jazz craze. It is screamingly funny entertainment, yet there are tugs at the heartstrings, too. There have been Jewish-Irish stories galore on the screen--some humorous, some tragic-- most of them interesting. But it re- mained for Wm. Beaudine to combine them into one. Beaudine suggested this when he directed "Little Annie Rooney"--but he put the idea into very glorious effect when he directed "Frisco Sally Levy." And to top all this off, there is news that will interest all children from six to sixty, especially the youngsters. Baby Peggy, child star of the screen, has forsaken the movies long enough to make a tour of motion picture thea- ters, and will be at the Norshore theater June 5, 6, 7 and 8. The most famous screen baby, in a little playlet with her father, is certain to please everyone. product before he finally okays it. That represents the preview audiences on whom the comedian tries out his wares. --NOW PLAYING-- Adolphe Menjou "Evening Clothes" Virginia Valli--Louise Brooks --STAGE PROGRAM-- Lang and Haley in "Who Is Your Boss" Other Stage Attractions --STARTING SUNDAY-- For Four Days Only Extra-Added Attraction Baby Peggy Famous Child Film Star in Person on the stage in an engaging skit entitled "PINCHED" --ON THE SCREEN-- Sally O'Neil --Roy D'Arcy in the Hebrew-Irish comedy scream "Frisco Sally Levy" --Saturday Matinee Only-- | Kiddies Matinee "A BARREL OF FUN" for Grown-ups and Children VARSITY "Pride of the North Shore" Friday and Saturday KEN MAYNARD and His White Horse TARZAN "THE » LAND BEYOND THE LAW" Historical Story of New Mexico Also HAL ROACH Presents "Jewish Prudence" COMING Richard Dix "QUICK SAND" GILDA GRAY "CABARET" LILLIAN GISH "SCARLET LETTER" Matinee Daily Continuous 2 to 11:30 Always 68 degrees Cool Only Ice Refrigerating Plant on North Shore ---- NEWEVANSTON Friday and Saturday MARION NIXON ROBERT AGNEW "DOWN THE STRETCH" Marvelous Race Horse Picture Entire Change of Program Monday, Wednesday ® Friday Every Evening 7 to 11 Saturday Cont. 2 to 11
