Aa November 19, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 57 Shore Theaters News 0 a O70 ----o-- 00 Village Celebrates Fifth Anniversary During Coming Week The Village theater this coming week will observe two anniversaries, Thanks- giving and the anniversary of the open- ing of the theater under the present management just five years ago. In commenting upon the fact, Manager J. B. Kopple stated that a contract with the film producers has just been signed, assuring the pick of the best pictures for the coming year, and that prospects for the season are good. He also expressed his appreciation of the extensive circle of friends which the Village has enjoyed and urged patrons to at any time feel perfectly free to offer suggestions or make requests as to the programs presented. John Barrymore's "When a Man Loves" will be the opening attraction for the week, having been billed for the first three days. The picture is based on French history during the reign of Louis XV. Barrymore plays the part of Fabien DesGrieux and Dolores Costello the part of Manon Lescaut, two French youths whose devotion has been to religion until a chance meeting arouses within each the fires of unquenchable love. To quote the New York Journal: "Manon played by the exquisitely lanquid Dolores Cos- tello, is characterized sympathetically and Barrymore is dashingly romantic. * kx x » Monte Blue in "One Round Hogan, a Warner Bros. production, will be pre- sented on Thursday and Friday. "One Round Hogan" is a fight film and in- cidently a love story, lovely Leila Hy- ams supplying the motivation for "One Round Hogan's cyclonic performances during several ring scenes, which the directorial genius of Howard Brether- ton has made unbelievably realistic. Blue has never been better than in this red-blooded fighting play, which offers him a part so well suited to his virile personality. Best fight film of the year, * kx *x "The Lone Eagle," a Universal-Jewel production, featuring Raymond Keane and Barbara Kent with a splendid sup- porting cast of screen favorites, will be showing Saturday. A screen adaptation of Lieutenant Ralph Blanchard's thrilling story of aviators during the world war, "The Lone Eagle" is a picture that has at- tracted particular interest throughout the country because of the vividness with which it portrays the actual hap- penings of the intrepid flyers during the fevered war period. Minturns Present "Seventh Heaven" at Chateau Monday A play that has some element of appeal for every class of theater-goer is "Seventh Heaven," one of John Golden's greatest long-run successes, which will be presented by the Min- turn Players next week, opening Mon- day evening at the Chateau Theater. It is dramatic, humorous, romantic. It is laid in an unusual setting, a back slum of Paris, and yet it has moments of surpassing beauty. One moment it is terrorized in the grip of fear, but not for long, for shortly it buds into a most beautiful romance. Human courage is the play's theme. Its central characters are Diane, a beaten, neglected waif of the slums; Chico, a buoyant young street washer who befriends Diane: Nane, the absinthe-soaked sister of Diane; a golden-headed French priest, a thieving but generous taxi-driver and a name- less character programmed as the Sewer Rat. How Diane and Chico find happiness in a garret which they affectionately term their "Seventh Heaven" only to be torn apart at the outbreak of the Great war and chastened in the cruci- ble of human suffering attending the conflict, is told in a play of virility and color that suggests an earlier story of the French capital, "The Two Or- phans." When the war comes and goes, leav- ing in its wake the poor broken shell of the street washer, forever blind to the sunlight he loves, the Bon Dieu whose existence he has doubted is con- vincingly present in the loving minis- trations of a woman preserved to him across the long, dark years through his awakening faith. COMMUNITY HOUSE The Community House, Winnetka, is featuring "Painted Poonies," a Hoot Gibson picture, for Tuesday, Novem- ber 22. In addition, the fourth chapter of "Blake of Scotland Yard" will be shown. "Beau Geste," one of the most out- standing of the year's big pictures featuring Ronald Coleman, will be the presentation on Friday. This story of three brothers and their undying af- fection for one another is one that pleases without fail. Emil Jannings in "The Way of All Flesh" will be at the Varsity the first three days of next week. Belle Ben- nett, star of "Stella Dallas," and Phyl- lis Haver of "What Price Glory," play with Mr. Jannings in the leading roles of this picture. ive CHATEAU treatre BROADWAY AT GRACE STREET MINTURN -- Next Week-- All this week T he Comedy Classic of the American Stage "3 WISE FOOLS" "7TH HEAVEN" -- PLAYERS PHONE LAKEVIEW 7170 Evenings 25¢, 50c¢ and 75¢ Every Evening at 8:15--Mats.
