WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1925 HERE AND THERE ON STAGE AND SCREEN Lim - it Reviews of the Week By Thespian There is always a man for every emergency whether it be to stop a run- away horse or to save a republic from disaster. George Irving, veteran character portrayer of stage and screen, proved to be "the man of destiny" during the filming of "Wild Horse Mesa," Para- mount's film ersion of Zane Grey's vivid story of the same name, which will be the attraction at the New Ev- anston, next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 1, 2 and 3. For the photographing of the wild horse stampede and other thundering thrills in the picture, a camp was con- structed at Red Lake, Arizona, 160 miles from civilization. Between the location on the mesa, where the wild horses were herded, and the camp was a distance of twelve miles, making direct communication extremely difficult. : Irving devised a heliograph system and by means of the mirror flashes all messages were sent--an innovation which tickled the heart of Director George B. Seitz. "Wild Horse Mesa" has for its theme the wholesale roundup of thou- sands of wild horses by driving them through a funnel-shaped trap into the narrow end against a barbed wire fence. How the courage and fearless- ness of one man prevented a gang of horse thieves and outlaws from carry- ing this barbarous scheme through is thrillingly depicted. ; Jack Holt, Noah Beery, Billie Dove and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., handle the principal roles. VILLAGE THEATRE Pictures made from two of the world's best sellers (books) and the play that broke the world's record will be seen at the Village theatre next week. Monday and Tuesday, Septem- ber 28 and 29, the feature attraction will be Harold Bell Wright's master- piece, "The Recreation of Brian Kent," Wednesday and Thursday, "Lightnin'" John Golden's triumph by Frank Bacon and Winchell Smith will come to the north shore for the first time, and Friday and Saturday Baby Peggy will be seen in "Helen's Babies," from the book by John Habberton. To complete the bill, Walter Hiers will be seen Monday and Tuesday in "Fat Chance," with a Pathe news reel; A Business Engagement," the first of a new series of comedies based on the marital adventures of "Helen and Warren" together with a Pathe review will be shown Wednesday and Thurs- day, and on the last two days of the week Rudolph Valentino will be seen picking 88 prize beauties in a two reel film, in addition to which there will be a comedy "Trenched" and a Pathe news reel. For four days, be- ginning October 5, "The Lost World" will come to the Village theatre direct from a tremendous loop run. Jay Hunt, who plays the stellar role of Lightnin' Bill Jones in "Lightnin'," is one of the very few men alive to- day who had the pleasure of meeting and shaking hands with General Ulys- ses S. Grant, former president of the United States. Hunt was among those present at a reception given the great warrior-statesman at the old Con- tinental hotel in Philadelphia just after the latter's tour around the world. THE HOYBURN Anna Q. Nilsson has played many, many splendid roles in her screen career, but none more odd than the one she plays for Sam E. Rork, producer of several very successful First Na- tional pictures. Anna Q. is his "good luck charm." Whenever this astute producer has a big production planned, he hastens to secure Anna Q's sig- nature to a contract long before the | date on which the picture is scheduled to be started. Everybody remembers "Ponjola." And, like its predecessor, "Inez From Hollywood," is proving highly successful. So it is quite ob- vious why Anna Q. is featured in "The Talker," the Rork production which First National will show at the Hoy- burn, next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, September 28, 29 and 30. Ever since the day some two years ago that Rork decided that Miss Nils- son was the "one" woman in pictures who could successfully portray the exacting role of the "boy-heroine" of "Ponjola" (and the star and producer were much in the minority among the prophets on this idea), she has been the producer's "good luck charm" be- cause "Ponjola" turned out to be one of the most phenomenally successful pictures of that year. Screen lovers will neevr forget how the star duti- fully sacrificed her gorgeous golden locks to the unfeeling barber's shears, and thus created the famous "Pon- jola bob" in order to play the part with convincing characterization. She might have worn a wig, but she didn't! Anna Q. is too dutiful an actress and artist. Then along came "Inez From Holly- wood," Adela Rogers St. John's de- lightfnl and tradition-breaking vam- pire. Alive to the picture possibilities of this new author's story of real Hollywood life, Rork bought the screen rights and as speedily signed Anna Q. to play the vamp. What a roar this caused among the tradition-bound! Isn't Anna Q. a blonde? And who- ever heard of a typical movie vamp be- ing blonde? THE NEW EVANSTON For the first of the week, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, September 28, 29 and 30, the New Evanston will offer "The Unholy Three," a crook drama featuring Matt Moore, Lon Chaney, and Mae Busch. For the last half of the week this popular Evans- ton movie theater will show on its screen, a Zane Grey thriller, "Wild Horse Mesa," with Jack Holt, Noah Beery, Billie Dove and Douglas Fair- banks, Jr. in the principal roles. "No type of drama affords the wide range of acting that melodrama of- fers," says Matt Moore, who appears opposite Mae Busch in Tod Brown- ing's "The Unholy Three," a crook drama produced by Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, which is to be at the New Ev- anston, next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, September 28, 29 and 30. The public demands thrills. It gets them in melodrama. It wants real sus- pense and no other brand of dramatics is so filled with thrills and human in- terest as the crook play that borders on two worlds in which we live. Picture-goers have demanded and received many new types of drama but it has never let go its interest in melo- drama. I believe that class of picture will sustain a longer run than any other because everybody is an adven- turer at heart no matter in how drab an actual world he may exist. A story of crooks is a story of hu- man interest and nothing in a modern picture draws better than human in- terest. Other types of plays are what might be termed as "class plays" be- cause they appeal to a certain type of fan. Melodrama appeals because it has elements of all other dramas combined. There is comedy, tragedy and a fine opportunity for all grades and degrees of acting. to eevrybody Other members of "The Unholy Three" cast are: Lon Chaney. Mae Busch, Victor McLaglen, Harry Earles and Mathew Betz. "The Unholy Three" is based on C. A. Robbin's popular novel of the same name. Waldemar Young wrote the scenario and Daniel Gray edited the film. David Kesson was the pho- tographer and Cedric Gibbons and Joseph Wright designed the settings. THE NEW CAMPUS Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, September 28, 29 and 30, the great his- torical drama "As No Man Has Loved," from Edward Everett Hale's immortal story "The Man Without a Country" will be shown at the New Campus theatre: Harry Carey in "The Texas Trail" will be the attraction on Thursday and on Friday and Sat- urday the attraction will be Jack Dempsey and Estelle Taylor (Mr. and Mrs. Jack Dempsey) in "Manhattan Madness." "Manhattan Madness" is a comedy drama with scenes in the West and in New York and tells the amusing story of a young Westerner who finds New York too tame to suit him until he gets involved in a conspiracy, finds himself in a mysterious mansion with innumerable trap doors and hidden menaces and has to use the Dempsey punch to rescue the girl. Perhaps Jack's enthusiasm in these rescue scenes was due to the fact that the girl in peril was the new Mrs. Demp- sey, who has the leading role op- posite he equally new husband: A hold-up, two jail breaks, innumer- able thrilling rescues and chases, with more than one big fight to speed up the action, are some of the very good Ra reasons why the latest Harry Carey western, "The Texas Trail," is one of the fastest and most furious westerns the great star has ever made. There is plenty of action in this one even for the most blood-thirsty movie goer. THE HOWARD The bill at the Howard theatre next week will include a number of popular movie stars in some of the hest pic- tures of the year. Sunday, September 27, Buck Jones will be seen in "Timber Wolf," together with a comedy, "The Iron Nag." Monday and Tuesday, September 28 and 29 Harrison Ford and Clara Adams in "The Wheel" wil! be shown, with the latest Harry Lang- don comedy. Wednesday and Thurs- day Barbara LaMarr in "The White Monkey" is the attraction, with a comedy, "Butter Fingers," and Friday and Saturday Lon Chaney will be seen in "The Unholy Three" A comedy, "Cold Turkey," will also be shown with this picture. The perfect continuity of "The Un- holy Three," said to be due largely to the newspaper experience of Wald- emar Young, famous scenario and continuity writer. Young spent many years as a news- paper reporter in San Francisco and as a newspaper man learned the psych- ology of life by rubbing elbows with people who tread every path and fol- low every vocation. He knew how to spin a good story long before he entered the picture world. He knew how people live, how they talk and act, how they react to certain conditions and most of all-- how they think. : The cast of "The Unholy Three" in- cludes: Lon Chaney, Mae Busch, Vic- tor McLaglen, Matt Moore, Harry Farles and Mathew Betz. ) Flora Le Breton and Henry Victor, who play prominent roles in "The White Monkey," are two new and charming screen personalities, making their screen debuts in America. Both hail from England and impersonate English characters in the picture. Miss Le Breton, who plays the ap- pealing role of "Victorine," has rare blonde beauty that is in delightful con- trast to the brunette loveliness of Bar- bara La Marr, who plays the leading role of "Fleur." Henry Victor plays the role of "Wilfred Desert," artist, whose love for the wife of his best friend forms the dramatic triangle about which "The White Monkey" revolves.
