fie ee a gale of ETT Ih November 10, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Shore Theaters News --(------c oe 5 THE THEATRE BEAUTIFUL ALCYON HIGHLAND PARK, ILL. Tel. H, P, 2400 2 Newspaper Films on Teatro del Lago Bill This Week End "Shadows of the Night," with Law- rence Gray in the leading role, is the Teatro del Lago attraction for this Saturday, November 10. The story 1s a vivid tale of a reporter's chase for a bandit leader, assisted by his dog. The trail leads through the New York un- derworld into the haunts of gamblers. Vivid battles, hair-breadth escapes, and other rapid fire excitement is blended into a pretty love story between the reporter and a cabaret dancer who aids him in the quest. Louise ILorraine plays the girl, A second story of newspaper life is portrayed in "Freedom of the Press," which will be shown at the Teatro del Lago this Sunday. This story concerns a young man who finds that the guard- ian of the girl he loves is the "man higher up" in the municipal vice ring, which his father, editor of the leading newspaper, is fighting. The editor is murdered by the ring and the boy is faced with carrying on his father's po- licies regardless of his fiancee's plead- ings. The development of this situa- tion makes an exceedingly strong dra- ma. Lewis Stone and Marceline Day have the leading roles. "Lilac Time" Monday "Lilac Time," coming to the Teatro del Lago next Monday and Tuesday, is a thrilling and romantic war drama with enough sentiment to lift it above the run of war plays. "Lilac Time" is a small farm near the French front, where seven of the Royal Flying corps are quartered. Its lilac gardens form an exquisite setting for the love story. Colleen Moore, as Jeannie, and Gary Cooper, as Captain Blythe, do excel- lent work in their romantic roles. The picture "Craig's Wife', which will be at the Teatro del Lago next Wednesday, is modeled closely after the play of the same name from which it was adopted. Irene Rich as Mrs. Craig compares favorably with the house worshipping, dust detecting lady portrayed on the stage by Crystal Herne. The players supporting Miss Rich have been chosen carefully and add to the high quality of the picture, which was ranked among the six best in a recent month's review. Clark and McCullough play the leads in "The Diplomats," now being directed by Norman Taurog. Prepa- rations are also under way to feature the two entertainers in "The Ring" and "In Dutch," original stories by Paul Gerard Smith. LJ LJ ANTIQUES A complete line of antiques.
