June 23, 1928 WINNETKA "TALK 53 a ALABAN & KATZ in Town and Country NORSHIORE "Sorrell and Son" Will Be Shown at Norshore Frankie Masters will begin his sec- ond week at the Norshore Sunday in a stage show entitled "Fine: Feathers." Frankie, who formerly did his stuff at the Uptown and Tivoli theaters, has been given a hearty reception at his new home this week. Playing his banjo, singing, and directing the Jazz Collegians he has been making a hit with Norshore audiences. "Sorrell and Son" is the name of the movie attraction at the Norshore be- ginning this Sunday. This picture was adjudged one of the six best during the month of January. Herbert Bre- non has made it a touchingly beauti- ful story of a father's love for his son. It is superbly played by H. B. Warner and a fine cast. "There has never been a more tenderly inspiring story," says one Chicago critic. Chosen as one of the six best pic- tures during last month, "The Act- ress" is a most charmingly staged production. It is screened from Pinero's "Trelawney of the Wells" and is to be shown next Thursday and Friday at the Teatro del Lago. "The Actress" is a tale of the '80s and it breathes the atmosphere of the '80s. Norma Shearer is an adorable Tre- lawney, and all other roles are sym- pathetically portrayed. Those lovers of the comical Harold Lloyd may see him perform in one of his laugh-provoking shows, "Speedy," at the Teatro del Lago next Monday and Tuesday, June 25 and 26. "Speedy" is one of the six-best type of pictures, and one to which you are advised to take the whole family. Ann Christy plays the feminine lead. The story is the least of the picture, but the clever, rapidly moving gags, the wild stunts and the high-tensioned action make it a good movie. "Hangman's House," John Ford's new Fox Films production, based on Donn Byrne's great novel of Irish life, will be shown at the Teatro del Lago next Wednesday with Victor Mec- Laglen and June Collyer. The pic- ture is typically Irish, with fast horses and beautiful women, and it is said the action outrivals even the dramatic in- tensity of Byrne's earlier efforts, in- cluding "The Iron Horse," "Four Sons," and "Mother Machree." One of the largest and most pre- tentious sets ever used in a comedy was built at First National studios for "Vamping Venus," the new comedy in which Charlie Murray and Thelma Todd are featured at the Teatro del Lago this Saturday. The set, which represents the ancient city of Athens, Greece, covers several acres. The story is that of a New York politician who goes to a cabaret to escape his nag- ging wife. .He is knocked out by a jealous rival, and when he awakens it is in a Grecian street of ancient times with a battle raging. Murray, who plays the politician, soon dem- onstrates his political sagacity, and becomes ruler of the land. In "Lady Be Good," starring Dor- othy Mackaill and Jack Mulhall, which comes to the Teatro del Lago this Sunday, almost the entire picture takes place backstage in a vaudeville theater, with the principal action of the story taking place in the wings, the dress- ing rooms, and "out in front." The Mackaill-Mulhall team goes over big in this snappy screen version of the recent musical show. Ilinois' 959 high schools have an en- rollment of 251,212 students. Granada Books Champion Dancers for Next Week Next week is "Banner Week" of "Banner Month" at the Granada. Charlotte Lansing, star of "The Desert Song," which recently closed its long run at the Great Northern theater, will head the list of those special attractions who appear in person. Jack Osterman, seen not long ago in "Artists and Models" at the Four Cohans theater, will be back for a return engagement at the Granada next week with new songs and laughs. Robert Johns and Serena Bergandi, world's champion marathon dancers, are also on the Granada bill for next week. Johns and Miss Bergandi re- cently won the dancing contest at the Coliseum in Chicago after dancing 260 hours. DOUG MAKES NEW PICTURE Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pick- ford, "black pirate" and "sweetheart" of the screen, will make more pictures, despite rumors to the contrary. The actual shooting will begin about June 15. Fairbanks' next picture will be a sequel to "The Three Musketeers." As you may know, Doug and Mary have been vacationing in Europe. INSTALL VITAPHONE Installation of the movietone and vitaphone in all of the Balaban and Katz theaters and in many of the Lub- liner and Trinz houses has been an- nounced for this summer. The theater owners state that there will be no in- crease in prices because of the intro- duction of the new form of screen entertainment. TITLES TO BE SPOKEN "The Terror," new mystery thriller being made by Warner Brothers, will have an innovation in its titles and in the introduction of the cast. They will be spoken, not written, as they usually are on the screen. The picture will use Vitaphone voice and sound effects from start to finish. DEMPSEY IN NEW PLAY William Harrison (otherwise Jack) Dempsey is to be co-starred with Miss Estelle Taylor (otherwise Mrs. Jack) in a play named "The Big Fight." This play, according to the authors, is a live one and is slated for the late summer. Mr. Belasco will supervise the produc- tion. ARISTOCRACY OF THE AIR Sir Hubert Wilkins is the title with which Captain George H. Wilkins has been knighted by the King of England in honor of his heroic work flying over the top of the world. The story of his Arctic flight will shortly be published by Putnam's under the title "Flying the Arctic." COMMUNITY HOUSE Tues., June 26 Fri., June 29 George WILLIAM Charley MURRAY Joan Crawford "FLYING "WEST ROMEOS" POINT" Community House Offers William Haines Picture "Flying Romeos" and "West Point" are announced as the Community House attractions for next week. "Flying Romeos" is to be shown on Tuesday, June 26. Charles Murray is in the picture with George Sidney, and that's enough said. For those who like the "smart alec" stuff, William Haines will be on hand to entertain in "West Point" Friday night, June 29. Joan Crawford will play opposite him. The picture is a gay and amusing comedy of the United States Military academy.
