October 22, 1927 WINNETKA TALK' wn on Shore Theaters News C--O EVANSTON Teatro to Present Unusual Mountain Film on Wednesday Cinema fans declared that "Grand- na's Boy" was as great a Harold Lloyd would ever produce and at the time it seemed that it would be impossible for the "four-eyed" 'omedian to achieve a success more pronounced. But with the appearance of "The Freshman," and subsequently "The Kid Brother," Harold handed his admirers more surprises and "did him- self one better." "The Freshman" is it Teatro this Saturday. Chester Conklin and George Ban- roft team up in "Tell If to Sweeney" ind produce a comedy' with railroad- ing as the background. Chester takes the role of the haughty retired en- gineer of another day and Bancroft plays the part of Cannonball Casey, a modern steam-easer, It contains 'huckles that you havén't associated wtih other comedies and is the bill for this Sunday. Norma Talmadge's version of ' 'Cam- ille," famed Alexander Dumas creation, is to say the least, surprising. Norma brings this classic of the nineteenth century right down to a modern stand- ing and takes the leading role as an ultra-fashionable siren of Paris. Gil- hert Roland is brilliant as "Armand." Camille" will be featured on Monday and Tuesday. With the exception of "The Shep- herd of the Hills" and a few others, we have had little screen experience with stories of the mountains and the mountain folk. Paramount's "Stark Love," to be shown on Wednesday, is something entirely - different from either the usual run of films or the previous "hill stories." Karl Brown, the producer, has taken a cast of ac- tual mountain folk from the Great Smokies of North Carolina and in their natural habitat has prepared this fascinating drama. Helen Munday, a mountain girl, plavs the principal role and, without previous exnerience, does remarkable characterization. The Duncan sisters' "Topsv va" will complete the bill as the Thursday and Friday feature. Both of the musical stars make this play well worth seeing. I am certain that vou will be surprised when vou see the famous bedside death scene where Eva is in the advance stages of "pass- ing-out" and Topsy is well on the road toward a lieless future existence. and Ravmond Griffith 'has joined the European picture makers. | type. picture as |! far as I have heard. | 'Here Are Three Pictures | That Are Sure to Please!

The plot travels a melodramatic path, starting in France, jumping to Brazil and ending in a background 'of the Amazon Penal Colony of the latter country. Had Joseph Conrad, famous novelist, been acquainted with the entire mo- tion picture industry he couldn't have picked a better cast to portray the characters in his celebrated novel oi pirate "adventures "in 'Cuba than has Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in producing "The Road to Romance," based on his story, "Romance," which is to be pre- sented, Wednesday and Thursday. Ramon Novarro, the hero of "Ben Hurr" and himself a descendant of a notable Spanish family, has the role of the swashbuckling and happy hero. The petite Marceline Day has the role of the Conrad heroine; Serafina, and the screen's heaviest heavy, Roy D'Arcy, is seen as the crooked judge in league with the Cuban pirates. Shirley Mason, who played the lead: ing-role-in-"Sweet -Roste- O'Grady," a Columbia success of last season, and Richard Arlen, who gave an outstand- ing portrayal of the juvenile hero in "The Blood Ship," one of the Village presentations last week, are the lead- ing players in the Friday and Satur- day feature production, "Sally in Our Alley," Included in the capable supporting cast are such well-known players as Alec B. Francis, Paul Panzer. William H. Strauss, Kathlyn Williams and Flor- ence Turner. Walter Lang directed.
