er 5 po RR WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1925 HERE AND THERE ON STAGE AND Reviews of the Week By Thespian Screen IF I MARRY AGAIN Chicago Theatre This is the story of a mean father-in- law who objects quite strenuously to the fact that his son has married the daugh- ter of Madame Margot, owner of a San Francisco gambling house. He doesn't seem to know anything about the girl but he has an idea she must be after his money so he practically exiles his son and the latter's wife by sending them to Bar- lacca which seems to he a tropical place south of the equator. Then the pic- ture begins to be quite interesting. The son slaves himself into a fever, of the tropical variety, while his wife proves her staying qualities by slaving with him and for him and their son. The fever finally kills the son and the wife and young son sail for America. How she managed to obtain for the latter the rights she believes are his, and how she defies the still defiant father-in-law, makes a good ending. Throughout the proceedings, Wingate, a confidential clerk, has much to do and it is his state- ment about the possibility of marrying that gives the picture its title. The cast is a rather impressive one although Anna Q. Nilsson and Myrtle Stedman are in evidence during only a brief period. The heavy work falls to Doris Kenyon, Lloyd Hughes, Frank Mayo and Hobart Bosworth. Miss Ken- yon cries beautifully and shows con- siderable emotional ability in many of the scenes. Frank Mayo is pleasing as the confidential secretary and Hobart Bosworth about as villainous a father- in-law as you ever saw. The tropical scenes are interesting and apparently taken in the rainy season. 1 haven't seen so much rain in a long time. There are times when the picture drags terribly and much sadness pevails which might be lightened by the injection of a bit of comedy here and there. . SACKCLOTH AND SCARLET McVickers Theatre This is a trashy, unreasonable and un- necessary story which found difficulty in passing the censors and was held up for some two or three weeks until it could be changed. That it is well acted and K. | . nL. Be i Te "Story™1S" 61 two beautiful sisters. One of them makes a misstep and her mnocent but devoted sister takes her child to raise. After six years she meets a man who loves her and with whom she falls in love. The child of course causes gossip and trouble. This Is accentuated by the subsequent dis- covery that the man is really the father of the child. Whereupon he and the mother of the child are wed only to have her die within the year so that the picture might fade out with the proper love scene between Joan and Stephen. Alice Terry is a beautiful Joan, Dorothy Sebastian does well as the erring sister and in most of the scenes Orville Caldwell shows to good advantage. The most interesting performer is little Jack Huff who portrays the child and does a beautiful job. 20 SPN Movie Notes Seven hundred Indians went on their first buffalo hunt last winter in connec- tion with the filming of "The Thunder- ing Herd" which has opened at the Roosevelt. The Indians play a large part in the picture although none of them had ever hunted buffalo and most of them had never seen any. They had con- flicts with white hunters and their families and there were many interest- Ing scenes. Some of the buffalo were killed but this was under the direction of the United States government which allowed them to kill only the aged bulls who must be removed now and then. A new screen find who looms up as having great possibilities is William Otis, a six foot two and twenty year old lad, who appears in "The Goose Hangs High" now showing at McVickers theatre. He is a native of Michigan and, after Culver and Princeton, took a flyer to Hollywood where James Cruze, film producer signed him up for his present role. Stage Notes The newest stage attraction is "Cobra" which opened last Sunday night at the Princess theatre after completing nearly a year's run in New York. "Cobra" was produced by Lawrence Weber and it carries the story of a woman who plays the serpent and leads the man on to his doom. The interesting cast is headed by none other than Ralph Morgan, a great favor- ite in these parts whose work in "Turn to the Right," "Cat and Canary" and "In Love with Love" was so excellent. Mr. Morgan has the role of the simple and honest young man who falls prey to the "cobra." New York criticisms were very flattering. The Selwyn will have a new play on April 5 when "The Green Hat" moves in. It is having its first performances in Detroit and will have Katherine Cornell, Ann Harding and Leslie How- SCREEN ard in the cast. Michael Arlen wrote the novel and the play adapted from it. The only other new play in the offing is "Be Yourself" due to arrive at the Harris on April 13, following the de- parture of "No, No, Nanette." The Show-Off," one of the best things of the season, has announced that April 4 will be its last performance at Cohan's Grand but no announcement has béen made regarding a successor. Meanwhile "The Student Prince," at the Great Northern, and "Badges," at the Garick, seem to have "caught on" which is pleasing and as it should be. oo 0 Neighboring Theaters 0 aac t XJ VILLAGE THEATRE Among several special attractions which will be shown at the Village theatre this coming week is one that will be particularly interesting to the children. It is the two reel "all animal" comedy, "Hot Dog," to be shown Friday and Saturday, April 3 and 4, in addition to Thomas Meighan's latest picture, "Com- ing Through." > Thomas Meighan is unusually good in "Coming Through." And Lila Lee, prettier than ever and a little more grown up, does better work than she ever did for the screen before--and that's say- ing a lot. Also, Wallace Beery swaggers his tough and villainous way through the plot to the delight of all who are Beery fans, and like to see a piece of villainy well done. "Tomorrow's Love," starring Agnes Ayres and Pat O'Malley will open the week, playing Monday and Tuesday March 30 and 31. This is a splendid vehicle for Miss Ayres and she does some very effective work, supported by a strong cast. The other features of the program will be a two reel comedy "The Sky Plumber," with Art Stone and a Pathe news reel. Wednesday and Thursday, April 1 and 2, the feature attraction will be "Idle Tongues," from Joseph C. Lincoln's famous novel of Cape Cod life. Percy Marmount and Doris Kenyon are the stars, and with a story of the calibre of "Idle Tongues" with which to work, they produce what should rank as one of the finest pictures of the year. The story is a simple, straight-forward tale of the lives of Cape Cod folks, of people just like yourself or your neighbor. It has Stirring action throughout and a i Vith it will be shown ta 14 THE NEW EVAN " "The Thief of Bagdad" an Arabian Nights Fantasy, with the favorite of the screen, Douglas Fairbanks, as the bright shining star, will be the attraction at the New Evanston theatre, beginning next Monday, March 30. Douglas Fairbanks gives the follow- ing explanation as to why he made this latest super film of his: "There is a touch of the fantastic even in the reason I made "The Thief of Bagdad'--for it is a reason impelled by the unseen. It is a tribute to the fine- ness that I believe underlies the worka- day philosophy of men; a recognition of the inner forces that belie the sordid- ness of life. "There can be no doubt that the human soul's reaching for finer, higher, more ethereal things is intuitive and. first mani- fests itself in a child's love of fairy tales and fantasy. "The dreams, longings and roseate ambitions of childhood are relegated to the background of Life by the struggle of existence, but stifling them doesn't kill them. They persist throughout the years. There are moments when we all 'dream dreams', "Imagery is inherent in the human breasts. The brave deeds, the longing for better things, the striving for finer thoughts, the mental picture of obstacles overcome and successes won are nearer to our real selves than our daily grind of earthly struggle. "'The Thief of Bagdad' is the story At The New Evanston The agility of the athletic Doug siands him in good stead as the adventurous THIEF OF BAGDAD, of the things we dream about; a tale of what happens when we go out from our- selves to conquer Worlds of Fancy. We set out to win our Heart's Desire; we confuse our enemies; we demean our- selves bravely; our success is complete; our reward is Happiness. "I believe that this is the story of every man's inner self and that every man will thus see it. : "That's the reason I made 'The Thief of Bagdad'." THE HOYBURN Some gigantic sets were built for Norma Talmadge's new First National picture to be shown at the Hoyburn theatre beginning next Monday. The first is a complete English 000 period hu lobby of the a Floradd was first presented in London. = Next were reproductions of the Hote Metropole and the exterior and interior of the Casino at Monte Carlo. The gambling rooms also were done from photographs sent over from France. Another important set was a French resort in the toughest waterfront section of Marseilles where the dregs of society of all nations gather. The peopling of this set was a doubly difficult task re- quiring the greatest accuracy of detail. All the costumes were secured in France by Jacques d'Auray for it was necessary to have them such as were worn in that particular section of Marseilles about 25 years ago. Still another huge set was that show- ing the House of Parliament in England and London Bridge. This scene, with the London fog dimming the whole set, was a triumph of architecture, lighting and camera work. "The Lady" is a First National attrac- tion produced by Joseph M. Schenck. It was directed by Frank Borage. Wal- lace MacDonald is Norma's leading man. THE HOWARD Alice Joyce and Percy Marmont will be featured in a film called "Daddy oes A Hunting" at the Howard theatre next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, March 29, 30 and 31. On view next Wednesday and Thurs- COMMUNITY HOUSE TUESDAY BABY PEGGY in her first big picture "THE DARLING OF NEW YORK" Andy Gump Comedy Fox News FRIDAY HAROLD BELL WRIGHT'S Romance of a lost Mine "THE MINE WITH THE IRON DOOR" day, at the Howard threatre is said to be one of the most extraordinary and unique love stores ever penned. It is based on the novel by Clive Arden, "Enticement," and the universal ap- peal of its daring theme has made the book one of the best sellers of the year. The Thomas H. Ince Corporation has transformed the book into a pic- ture that is destined to become one of the most successful of the year. This First National attraction was directed by George Archainbaud, and the cast is headed by a trio of unexcelled brilli- ance--Mary Astor, Ian Keith and Clive Brook. "Enticement" is unusual in that, while it is a story of love, it does not follow the usual formula and bring the "love at first sight" romance to a happy ending. Instead, it tends to show that many young girls do not know what real love is when that emotion first stirs their hearts, and that they allow themselves to be led into other paths, thereby sacrificing their lives on the altar of cold reason. In this instance, the girl was frightened by the advent of love, and found out too late that she had made a mistake. Tom Mix, the old favorite of the wild west films, with his famous and much beloved horse "Tony" will be the big features at the Howard. thea- tre in a picture called "Dick Turpin" next Friday and Saturday, April 3 and 4. THE ADELPHI "Contraband" with Lois Wilson and Noah Beery as stars will be the chief attraction at the Adelphi theatre next Sunday, March 29, On Monday and Tuesday, March 30 and 31, the popular Clark street movie house will show "My Wife and I" fea- turing Irene Rich and Huntley Gor- don. Loro Bara and Charlie O'Malley, little sister and big brother, respective- ly, of the famous Theda Bara and Pat O'Malley, are the latest aspirants for Hollywood honors. Both Loro and Charlie have roles in Norma Tal- madge's latest picture, "The Lady" which is to be at the Adelphi next Wed- nesday and Thursday, April 1 and 2. Theatrical talent seems to run right along the line in Hollywood families, and the O'Malley and Bara clans evidently are no exception to the rule. With troness, Norma Talmadge as her pa- Loro Bara is now well on the way toward making a name for her- self as And Charlie O'Malley, with a sonality ly reminiscent of his great as her famous sister's per- and a manner which is strong- brother, also seems destined for photoplay honors. Wallace MacDonald is Norma's leading man. Adolphe Menjou, Richardo Cortez and Frances Howard will be seen 'on the silver screen at the Adelphi thea- tre next weekend for a two day en- gagement in the film play entitled "The Swan."
