Fr, October 1, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 45 Shore Theaters News HOLD REVIVAL WEEK| Village Theater Presets Three Old Timers; Adolph Menjou and W. C.| Fields Shown in [Initial Productions Next week's program at the Village | theater has been devoted to a revival | of films that a few years ago were as popular with movie fans as are "The Unknown" and "The Country Doctor" today. In the story of "The Three Musket- gore. " the film booked for Monday and Puesday, Douglas Fairbanks reached the triumph of his career up to that time. It will be remembered that in this adaptation from the famous Du- mas' novel, Doug as the hero, D' Artag- nan, matches his wits with the cunnnig Richelieu and forces his way through the Cardinal's almost insurmountable barriers. It is replete with the in- trigues of a monarchy and is as fas- cinating now as it was when first made | a | duced by Carey Wilson, Lloyd Hughes and as is the book. By the way, Adolphe Menjou plays the part of King Louis XIII. Interesting to contrast the Adolphe of then and the Adolphe of "Service for Ladies." The second of the week's revival presentations is "The Bat." It is said to be one of the greatest mystery plays ever written. It is a Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood creation and enjoyed great popularity as a stage production. As a screen presentation, however, it was even more popular and its revival should warrant unusual at- tention. For gasp-provoking action, spine- tingling suspense, clean comedy and tender love scenes, "The Bat" is in a class by itself. It has baffled millions of people throughout the world and very few have been able to identify the title character before the exposure in the final scenes. "Sally of the Sawdust," D. W. Grif- fith's famous film story of the circus, will be the picture presented on Fri- day and Saturday. This picture has the uniaue record of being one of the few pictures to be ranked among the lead- ing six of the year in which it was pro- duced, by national critics before they had even seen it in a completed form. D. W. Griffith has produced some of the greatest pictures of all times and undoubtedly "Sally of the Sawdust" ranks among the best of these. W. C. Fields and Carol Dempster were pre- sented as new stars in the presenta- tion. Douglas Fairbanks used nearly one hundred sets, all of them exact coun- terparts of the rooms they represent, in his screen version of "The Three Mus- keteers." Interesting Films in Teatro Program for Coming Week| A brief perusual of the bookings for the coming week at Teatro del Lago discloses some interesting films. Open- ing the week, Sunday, Sally O'Neil in Becky" presents a light little drama based upon American stage life. The picture is taken from the Cosmopoli- tan newspaper serial by Raynor Selig and takes a different angle from the stage play by the same name. Sally plays a part with a very wide scope, extending from the pure slapstick to serious effort at grand opera. "The Stolen Bride," to be shown on Monday and Tuesday, introduces Billy Dove to the screen as a star in her own right. The film has its locale in the intriguing atmosphere of Central Europe in the days before the World war. The story was written and pro- plays the masculine lead. The story of "Clauncy's Kosher Wedding" revolves around the troubles of two small store- keepers, one Jewish, the « w wn in addition to their rivalry brought about by racial nrejudices and businesses, have a fur- ther complication in the love existing between the Irishman's son and his competitor's daughter. George Sidney and Will Armstrong play the leads and ove assisted bv Marv Gordon and Ann 3rody as the wives. Aileen Pringle has heretofore always played in sophisticated roles in a de- cided society atmosphere. Her work has never leaned toward comedy and it is somewhat of a surprise package that she hands out in "Adam and Evil." Co-stared with Lew Cody, she pre- sents a farce-comedy on home life. It opens with Lew bidding Aileen good- bv as he leaves for the office in the midst of a rain storm. Lew forgets to kiss her goodbye and Aileen calls him back. A twin brother, inclined toward the "unsettled" kind of living, and a pair of the brother's flapper friends rather complicate matters. As a stage play "The Bat" is said to have netted its sponsors more than $2,000,000. Roland West, the producer, believes it has surpassed any success that a mystery play has achieved on the screen. The leather used in "The Three Mus- keteers" would make harnesses for a twenty-four horse team, it is estimated. Most of this leather went into the six hundred and fifty shoes worn in the picture.
