ii) November 7, 1925 WINNETKA TALK Stage and Screen News and Reviews STAGE "A Lady's Virtue" Selwyn Theatre Two stars shared the curtain calls at the Selwyn on Monday night when Mary and Florence Nash appeared in Rachel Crothers' fine new play, "A Lady's Virtue". Either star is worth the admission price in most any play; having both in one production is much like two headliners at the Pal- ace, each a leader in a particular field. The play, itself, is one of the best, from a theatrical standpoint, to come from the gifted pen of this versatile writer. Not necessarily new in its fundamental theme, it, nevertheless, is so completely human, so full of smart- ness, so rich in modern humor and so capably acted that I venture to sug- gest it will be quite a favorite in the weeks to come. The story tells of a young married woman, who, certain that her none too faithful husband is bored with his situation, decides that she, herself, is entitled to a little freedom and a chance to express her "deeper emotions." A New York trip, a flirtation with a handsome man and an acquaintance with a French singer of note, empha- size her determination. The singer, visiting her home, accepts the wife's statement to the effect that she is through with her husband and pro- ceeds to enmesh him in her own net only to find herself really in love for the first time. Miss Crothers has a way of letting you know that the old fashioned married relationship has some rather strong ties in spite of certain modern tendencies. Conse- quently all's well at the end. Miss Florence Nash is the young married woman and her performance is most real and human. It has al- ways been a delight to watch her in her former efforts but in many ways this excels them all. The opposite type, the French singer, is played by Miss Mary Nash and from the part she extracts as much as could be rea- sonably expected. Her emotional mo- ments are strikingly real and her work at the last curtain subject to much praise. Robert Warwick makes much of the handsome husband and is con- vinecinoe in all save one or two of his pathetic moments. "A Lady's Virtue" is straight for- ward and frank, its situations fairly plausible and it may well excite dis- cussions among numerous married couples, with especial reference to those who have passed through the first few trying years. Add it to your play-going list. --Thespian THE NEW CAMPUS For Monday and Tuesday, Novem- ber 9 and 10, the New Campus theatre will present as its feature, William Fox' presentation of John Golden's play hit, written by Winchell Smith and Tom Cushing, "Thank You." This picture is a tender, tearful, albeit of- times smiling tale of how an underpaid small town parson tames a lot of vil- lage hypocrites. Included in the cast are George O'Brien, Jacqueline Logan, Alec . Francis, George Fawcett, Cyril Chadwick and Marian Harlan. With this feature will be shown a Hal Roach comedy. Wednesday and Thursday at the New Campus will be shown a picture called "Fifty-Fifty" with Lionel Barry- more, Hope Hampton and Louise Glaum featured.

THE NEW EVANSTON Beginning Monday, November 9, and continuing through Wednesday, No- vember 11, the New Evanston theatre will feature the beautious Pola Negri in a picture play said to have been written especially for her by the popu- lar modern writer of novels and short stories, Joseph Hergesheimer. This film which is one of Paramount's latest is called "Flower of the Night." With it will be shown an Our Gang comedy. He does the wrong thing at the right time everytime! In "Seven Keys to Baldpate," the famous George M. Cohan comedy in which Douglas Maclean opens on Thursday for a three days' run at the New Evanston theatre, the comedian plays the role of a young novelist who seeks the solitude of Baldpate Inn to write a novel in 24 hours. A band of crooks seek the Inn at the same time. Gunplay, near-murder, and general pandemonium ensue. THE HOWARD Lionel Barrymore, who has a fea- tured role in the Associated Exhibi- tors production of "Fifty-Fifty", which comes to the Howard theatre for one day only, next Sunday, November 8, is one actor who is constantly engaged and whose services are alweys in de- mand--both for the screen and the stage. During the filming of "Fifty-Fifty" Mr. Barrymore was also appearing in "The Piker", a stage play by Leon Gordon. who is also the author of "White Cargo." This meant that the noted star was unable to work in the film production on Wednesdays, and Saturdays, ma- tinee days at the theatre. On other days of the week Mr. Barrymore went direct from the studio to the the- atre for the evening performance, with only time for a hurried dinner in be- tween.
