or April 10, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 41 Stage and Screen News and Reviews VILLAGE THEATRE "Under Western Stars," with Nor- man Kerry in the stellar role will be the feature attraction at the Village thea- tre next Monday and Tuesday, April 12 and 13. This is a thrilling drama of the great wheat country. A Charlie Chase comedy, "Mama Behave," and 2 Pathe news reel will complete the hill. On Wednesday and Thursday, April 14 and 15, "Lady Windermere's Fan," with an all-star cast will be shown. Irene Rich, a beautiful, new, sophisti- cated, sirenish Irene Rich, plays Mrs. Erlynne, and her remarkably stirring performance is a credit to both Miss Rich and the masterly direction of Lu- bitsch. May McAvoy is proudly lovely as Lady Windermere, Bert Lytell is a de- cidedly likeable hero as Lord Winder- mere, while Ronald Colman (loaned to the Warners by Samuel Goldwyn) makes a most ardently irrestable Lord Darlington. Lord Augustus, gay susceptible Lord Augustus, 1s in the capable hands of Edward Martindel, and there are three delightful duchesses played by Helen Dunbar, Carrie Daumery and Billie Bennett. There will also be a Hal Roach comedy, "Her Only Son," and a Pathe review. Two comedy kings will be seen in the double feature bill to be presented Fri- day and Saturday evenings, April 16 and 17. They are Charlie Chaplin and Raymond Griffith. Charlie Chaplin will be seen in a revival of his great picture "The Pilgrim" and Raymond Griffith is featured in what is said to be his funniest picture, "Hands Up." There will also be a Pathe news reel. HOWARD THEATRE Egypt--land of Cleopatra and cigar- ettes--figures centrally in Corinne Griffith's latest starring picture, "Infa- tuation," which comes to the Howard theatre next Monday and Tuesday. As is usual with stories allocated in this strange land, the film fairly vi- brates with all manner of mysterious and unforseen events. Yet it is said to be not strictly a mystery drama but rather a drama flavored with some of the spice of mystery. "Infatuation" is an adaptation by First National of "Caeser's Wife," W. Somerset Maugham's stage success. The motif of the play concerns the forced flirtation of a neglected wife and her eventful reclamation by her hus- band. Supporting Miss Griffith are Percy Marmont, Malcolm MacGregor, War- ner 'Oland, Leota Lorraine, Martha Mattox, Claire DuBrey and Clarissa Selwynne. On Wednesday and Thursday Charles Ray and Eleanor Boardman will be seen in "The Auction Block" and on Friday and Saturday Conway Tearle will feature in "Dancing Mothers." There will also be the usual comedies and news events. THE NEW EVANSTON "The Eagle," in which Rudolph Val- entino will be seen at the New Evans- ton theatre, beginning Monday, will present the star for the first time in the role of a Russian. In view of the pop- ularity which he has given to romantic Latin types it will be interesting to see if he will raise the Slav to the same public esteem. "The Eagle" is said to be a distinct departure for Valentino in other re- spects also. The story has more action and also more comedy than any other in which he has appeared. The star will be seen first as a handsome Cos- sack lieutenant, then later as a swift, mysterious, adventurous bandit, whose exploits thrill all Russia. (It is from this that character derives the name of the Eagle). For a while he mas- querades as a French tutor in order to enter the home of his mortal enemy. "The Eagle" is the first of the stories of Alexander Pushkin, Russia's great- est author, to reach the screen. The photoplay was written by Hans Kraly, who wrote "Passion," "Deception," "Her Sister from Paris," and many other notable successes. Vilma Banky, a striking blonde, who was recently brought to America by Samuel Goldwyn, plays opposite the star. Louise Dresser, stage star for many years, has a featured role as the Czarina. Clarence Brown, whose rise has been meteor-like, directed the picture, and is said to have done an unusually good job. Brown directed "The Goose Wom- an," "The Acquittal," "Smouldering Fires and other entertaining pictures. HOYBURN THEATRE Complete even to the elevated rail- way tracks, a street scene more than a block long, representing a section of the New York East Side, was built at Universial City for "His People," the Universal-Jewel production which comes to the Hoyburn theatre Mon- day. In order to obtain a technically per- fect scene for the exteriors, a score of still photographs and drawings were made of actual street scenes in the New York Ghetto. From these, the art director at the studio obtained his atmosphere for the scenes. Pushcart peddlers, ragged children, bearded old gentlemen and scurrying housewives filled the scene, while the picture was being made, and Rudolph Schildkraut, featured player in the picture, declared the scene was as real as a thousand he had seen in the ac- tual locality. So far as the kids of the nation are concerned, there is only one rival for the circus--and that is piracy. Leon Errol, famous . stage and screen comedian, with Dorothy Gish, is coming to the Hoyburn next Thursday with a band of pirates whose fame compares with anything in the circus with the exception of the elephants. The pic- ture is "Clothes Make the Pirate." In the pirate crew are Tully Marshall, James Rennie, George Marion. Their victims are three famous screen beau- Eo. a Newell & Retchin HOWAR] The House of Harmony Continuous Everv Day--2:15 to 11:15 N. W.
