a. September 22, 1928 aids WINNETKA TALK |; Shore Theaters News Jo -------a--y DOG IS STAR AGAIN Rin-Tin-Tin, Famous Dog of the Screen, Does His Stuff in Commun- ity House Picture Community House pictures for next week are "Jaws of Steel," with Rin- Tin-Tin, and "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come," with Richard Bar- thelmess and Molly O'Day. "Jaws of Steel" will be shown on Tuesday, September 25. This time Rin-Tin-Tin, the dog actor, is in a desert picture. Lost when a pup, and grown from a waif of the desert to a fierce bristling woli-dog, he finds again, the friends of his childhood, just after they have struck gold, and are in danger from some bad men. With Rin-Tin-Tin are Jason Robards, Helen Ferguson, Baby Mary Louise Miller, Robert Perry, Jack Curtis, and George Conners. "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come" is the picture attraction for Friday, September 28. It deals with the days of the Civil War and the ad- ventures which befall a fourteen-year- old mountain boy, homeless and a wanderer, with no other companion than his faithful dog. They travel into the distant mountain regions, far from civilization ; into the aristocratic homes of the Blue Grass country and into the Union camps where the lad meets General U. S. Grant. Later, when the war is over and the young man re- turns to claim his sweetheart, follow a series of dramatic incidents that hold interest to the final scene. Richard Norshore to Show "Oh Kay," Colleen Moore Comic Film Colleen Moore, recently so success- ful in "Happiness Ahead" and "Lilac Time," will be seen at the Norshore theater beginning this Saturday, Sep- tember 22, in "Oh Kay" wherein Miss Moore plays one of the comedy roles for which she was so well known prior to taking up the more serious pictures, "Oh Kay" is the screenization of the musical comedy success, and it is pleasant if not unusual entertainment. The story of Lady Kay Rutfield of England, who runs away from a des- pised fiance, sets sail for America on a rum rungper and, over here, finds herself in ridiculous and impossible sitnations--that merge duly into a blissful and permanent one, holds the interest. The film is full of action. The alert Miss Moore is assisted by an efficient cast, principals being Ford Sterling, Alan Hale and Lawrence Gray. On the stage Al Kvale, recently re- turned from his successes at the Ori- ental theater in the loop, will direct his Jazz Collegians in " A Jazz Para- dise." This is the gorgeous stage cre- ation which was used for the opening of the new Paradise theater on the west side during the last week.
