Teatro del Lago "Slide, Kelly, Slide" ..Community House TOM MOORE Tom Moore, who plays the lead op- posite Laura La Plante in "The Love Thrill", was born in County Meath, Ireland. He attended school there and in Toledo, Ohio. He began his theat- rical career with seven years in stock companies and Broadway productions, and has been a leading player on the screen ever since. Recent roles have been in "Good and Naughty", "Drums of the Desert" at Village Theatre Monday Three very interesting pictures will Ibe presented by the Village next week. On Monday and Tuesday, "Drums of the Desert" with Warner Baxter, Ford Stearling and Marietta Millner, will be presented. Wednesday and Thursday Laura La Plante's "The Love Thrill" will be shown and for the last two days of the week "Down the Stretch" will be the feature. The age-long losing struggle of the American Indian to retain his preca- rious foothold on the land over which "| he once reigned supreme, which formed the basis of "I'he Vanishing American" is revealed in an absorbingly different phase in "Drums of the Desert" which is Paramount's screen translation of Zane Grey's thrilling "Desert Bound." New Year's Eve--the gayest night of all--is the setting for "The Love Thrill", a Universal comedy starring Laura La Plante. Many of the events take place in a cabaret where the ad- vent of the coming year is being glo- riously celebrated and Director Millard Webb has an exact replica of a famous New York Night club constructed at Universal City for the scenes. "Down the Stretch", the Universal Jewel production directed by King Baggot, is adapted from "The Money Rider", the last storv to be written by Gerald Beaumont before his death. It is the tale of the romance behind the scenes at a race track--the kind of "Pawned", "Over other pictures. the Border" and millions of readers. tale that immortalized Beaumont to his 0 alas hw, oats NR -- ore] | X Si & ¢ ~ N= i=) \ p us . melodies, id= di It is suggested you make your reservations now.

"Naughty, But Nice" Heads Week's Bill for Teatro del Lago On Saturday, July 16, Teatro del Lago presents "A Little Journey." It is one of those few pictures that seem so real. One is prone to forget that this bit is meant for comedy and another bit for drama. There are laughs and tears but the whole is so perfectly con- structed that one is never conscious of the mechanics. The story is one of a rich girl, suddenly made poor, who sees her only salvation in accepting the proposal of a wealthy San Francisco gentleman. The picture was adapted from the story by Rachel Crothers and is ably directed by Robert Z. Leonard. "Naughty But Nice" On Sunday, July 17, "Naughty But Nice" is Colleen Moore's newest and brightest picture. As modern as to- morrow, as full of life as a college freshman, and as entertaining as the gossip about the folks next-door, this picture takes its place as the best of Miss Moore's successes. It is the story of a plain, long haired, bespectacled, and freckled little dumb-bell, who gains freedom from her indulgent uncle's ranch when an oil discovery makes him a millionaire. The metamorphosis of this pathetic, comical, little person, in- to the most stunning girl in an ex- clusive eastern finishing school, is one of the tests Miss Moore comes through so brilliantly. Supporting Miss Moore are Donald Reed and Claude Gilling- water. John McCormick directs. "The Show" On Monday and Tuesday, July 18 and 19, .movie-goers will have a chance to see a new John Gilbert. He plays a role that is one of the strangest, most paradoxical and powerful an actor ever was given. In this picture he is a gangster in a cheap Budapest sideshow, a character almost repulsive. How he takes this character and regenerates him into a man with a real soul and how he does it logically, perfectly, without a trace of implausibility, is what marks Gilbert as one of the supreme actors of the screen. Renee Adoree makes a charming heroine and has a remarkable bit of characterization in this screen master- piece. Lionel Barrymore and the rest of the supporting cast are ideal in their roles and the staging is spectacular. "Secret Studio" "The Secret Studio" which is pre- sented on Wednesday, July 20, is an adaptation of Hazel Livingston's widely read newspaper serial and deals with the activities of a New Jersey village girl who decides to give up a college career and become a wage-earner in New York. She meets a fashionable gold-digger and is introduced into the smart Bohemian set who make their rendezvous in the studio of a popular portrait artist. An excellent cast sup- ports dainty Olive Borden and the pic- ture is excellently directed by Victor Schertzinger. "The Yankee Clipper" On Thursday and Friday, July 21 and 22, "The Yankee Clipper" is pre- sented. The period in which the story is laid is that glorious era in American history just prior to the Civil War when the Clipper ship was mistress of the sea. The story recounts the diffi- culties that beset Thomas Winslow, a ship-builder of Boston, who mortgages everything he has to finance the build- ing of a new type of sailing vessel, the Clipper ship. Rupert Julian directs the competent cast.
