Village Theatre Reviews 0 Om -- At the North Mark You! Thus Appears Another Great "Import" Word has gone out from the United Artists' studio in Hollywood that Ulrich Haupt, another German player, does such fine work in John Barry- more's "Tempest" that he almost "steals the picture." While the story goes on to tell of Haupt's career abroad with Max Rein- hardt, it fails to mention his struggles to secure recognition on the screen in this country. Haupt is another of the players whose film career dates back to the days of old Essanay. He is another example, too, of the talent that was "passed up" by the powers that be in that Chicago studio, and thus his name belongs with that of Colleen Moore, Rod LaRocque, Agnes Ayers, June Walker, Ralph Graves and many others. Try as he might, this actor with a distinguished stage career both abroad and in the German theater in America was unable to secure any but small bits and unimportant parts at Essa- nay. Then, to make matters worse, the war broke out and before long as a German he began to be looked on with suspicion by even his cohorts at this studio. After the war Haupt's name dropped from the lists of screen players, rumor having it that he had gone back to Germany. Then he reappeared and starred in several New York plays in which he won wide acclaim. Now he is being presented by United Artists as "the latest foreign import." At any rate, he is a fine actor. Greetings to him. GLENCOE MOVIES The Glencoe Union church is pre- senting Jackie Coogan in "The Bugle Call" next Friday afternoon, Decem- ber 16. WILMETTE, ILL. J. B.

Well laugh this off! Paramount-Famous- Laskey has been awarded the Photo- play magazine gold medal for the best play released during 1926 for its pro- duction "BEAU GESTE." My time to smile? Don't worry--I am. This is, by the way, the seventh annual award of the photoplay gold medal. The pre- vious winners were "Humoresque," in 1920; "Tol'able David," 1921; "Robin Hood," 1922; "The Covered Wagon," 1923; "Abraham Lincoln," 1924 and "The Big Parade" in 1925. * Nox Here is a bit that I find in Motion Picture, published by Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of Ameri- ca, Inc, "London, Oct. 26--Although the representation of the figure of Christ has been hitherto forbidden on the London stage and in film theaters, the London and Mid- dlesex County councils voted unan- imously today after a private showing to allow Cecil de Mille's "King of Kings" to be shown here. "Members who witnessed the per- formance behind bolted doors said the picture created such a religious atmo- sphere that the council members put out their pipes and cigarettes. The sobbing of two committee women was audible during the closing scenes." "One Man's Woman" Next Minturn Play at Chateau That the public has an insatiable appetite for thrilling plays is proven beyond all doubt by the exceptionally successful play |'One Man's Woman," which had a run of a year in New York, twenty-six weeks in Chicago, and six months on the pacific coast. The Minturn company augmented by Ha- waiian singers, dancers and musicians, will present this play at the Chateau theatre the week commencing Monday evening, December 12. For those who like a thrilling melo-drama with the fascinating South Sea Islands for a setting "One Man's Woman" will have a strong appeal. COMMUNITY HOUSE Fr1. DEC. 16 TUES. DEC. 13 Geo. Bancroft Harrison Ford and in Chester Conklin R "The in ejuvenation "Tell Tt t of Aunt Mary" ob oe with Phyllis Haver Hy Mayer TOO MANY "AFFAIRS" Adolphe Menjou's Many "Friends" Al- most Make Trouble in "A Gentleman of Paris," Teatro Billing for Sunday Teatro del Lago has scheduled "The High School Hero" for this Saturday. The picture is said to have success- fully caught the glamour of youth. The story deals with the activities of a typical American high school, treating in a humorius vein the problems of the students. There is fine romance, a great deal of humor and a hotly con- tested basketball game interwoven logically and interestingly into the plot of the story. Sally Phipps takes the leading feminine role while Nick Stuart and John Darrow are the rival "boy friends." * * Gentleman of Paris In the "Gentleman of Paris" Adolphe Menjou is a man of many affairs. That these affairs involve several other men's wives doesn't worry Adolphe greatly until he happens to strike the wife of his own valet. Not that Adolphe first knew it was Joseph's wife for he understood she was one of his few unmarried friends. However, as Joseph pointedly remarks as he shaves his master, "There is more than one way of cutting a man's throat." And when in a card game Adolphe wins most consistently and the jealous husband of one of his "friends" insists upon searching Adolphe and finds the ace of hearts tucked up his sleeve, it looks bad for Adolphe. His father-in- law-to-be suggests that a revolver might furnish the solution. But Adolphe does not choose to die. Sun- day's bill. wR Pola Negri and Hanson Pola Negri and Einar Hanson take the leads in "The Woman on Trial" which has been selected as the feature for Monday and Tuesday. The role is said to be exactly suited to Pola's exotic temperament. She appears as a modern woman of fashion in Paris wedded to a rich husband whom she does not love. A dual theme is carried out, one indicating the star's unquench- able love for an artist, sick and im- poverished; the other bearing on her love for her child and the extremity-- even to murder--to which a woman will go if her child is taken from her through trickery and force. The Tamed Rich Girl "Pajamas," a Fox production starring Olive Borden, will be shown on Wed- nesday. The story, written by William Counselman, is laid in the exclusive Long Island district of New: York and in the mountain ranges of Canada. It is briefly, the story of a spoiled little rich girl who is cured of her high handed whims by a modern young man in an old fashioned way. Golf-bug Bites The "golf bug" has carved on Wil- liam--or does a bug of any kind carve? At any rate "Spring Fever," Haines' latest romantic comedy in which Joan Crawford is co-starred, is about the "golf bug." Bill is almost too fresh to be green and when his boss takes him to the country club as his guest, Bill decides that he will not go back to work. He decides to marry for money and chooses Joan but Joan tells him that her father has become bankrupt. She declares that she is going to marry for money and as Bill has unconscious- ly "fallen" he suffers a reversal of opinions on the subject. Yep. it turns out okay! Thursday and Friday.
