No | tre Friday and Saturday, June 4 and J. C. Koppel, Managing Director western luminary has ever flashed in- to prominence whose pictures were so redolent of mirth as Mr. Thomson's. Coupled in the betting both for chuc- kles and thrills is Silver King, Fred's famous horse, who has an even more important role in the production than usual. Much of the action revolves around a smuggling ring which is op- erating near the Mexican border, but while it scintillates with speed, the pic- ture is more outstanding as a mirth producer than in any other respect. David Kirkland directed. The strong supporting cast includes such eminent thespians as Tyrone Power, Bess Flowers. William Courtwright, Clar- ence Geldert and Tom Santschi. "The Prince of Pilsen," a new com- edy, is an example of the unusual in modern film production, and qualifies splendidly as a distinct screen novelty. Tt is a lavish farcical production deal- ing with court life in a mythical Euro- pean kingdom, and the comedy ele- ment is ever present and relishable. George Sidney, featured as Hans Wagner, a Cincinnati brewer who, on going to his old home in Pilsen. is mistaken for the Prince of Pilsen him- self, is the chief comedian and reveals himself as a thorough artist. Anita Stewart, who plays the part of his daughter Nellie, is seen in a role which provides full scope for her mimetic ability, and of which she makes the most. The chief supporting roles are por- trayed by Myrtle Stedman and Allan Forrest. VILLAGE THEATRE Exteriors for "Tust Suppose," the latest Richard Barthelmess picture made by Inspiration for First National release, were taken at Southampton, L. T., under the direction of Kenneth Webb. Through personal friendship of Rarthelmess and his technical advisor, Huon Rumbeld, the company was en- abled to film exteriors on estates owned bv society people whose names are prominent in the social register. Magnificent villas, high-spirited polo ponies. Rolls Rovces--everything, in fart, that the exclusive colonv had to offer--was placed at the disposal of the Barthelmess comnanv. Profession- ~1 extras were unnecessary, as there were more than enoueh volunteers from amone the society folk who wanted to annear in the crowd scenes and nlay small bits. Some of the most (brilline polo scenes ever shown on the screen were made at the private nolo field of Thomas Hitchcock at West- burv, Long Tsland. Tn "Tust Suppose," Barthelmess plavs the part of a Euronean Prince who visits America and, of course, moves in the most select social circles. Every effort was made to secure an abso- Intelv authentic atmosphere, both in the settings and in the types of play- ers used in supporting roles. At- mosphere shots taken in Central Europe for insertion in this picture were found highly satisfactory. lois Moran has the leading femi- nine role in support of Barthelmess. Others of importance in the cast are 5, is a story which brings in the at- mosphere of the Florida real estate boom, with that of a baseball training camp. Scenes are laid around a small Florida town, where the team is parked, and the hectic excitement of the boom resorts. Meighan is a baseball player who, on reporting for training, is told that he has outlived his usefulness so far as baseball is concerned. He quickly recovers from the shock and stum- bles into a real estate deal. Turning several pieces of property over, he skvrockets to prosperity. The other players hear of his good fortune and get him to invest for them. This sudden wealth wrecks the team; they all want to become realtors. There's plenty of comedy and action as their fortunes touch the peaks and depths. Finally, a point arrives at which they all walk out on Tom and return to seek reinstatement on their team. He is left holding the bag on a big venture. There are a lot of hectic moments before he finally. succeeds. Lila Lee is featured opposite the star. The story was adapted by Thomas Geraghty from a Ring Lard- ner original. Lewis Milestone was at the megaphone. To complete the bill there will be a comedy, "Buster's Sky-rocket," and a Pathe news reel. It'll Look Like Circus, But It's to Be a Play One day next week--the exact date not having been determined, all kinds of big elephants and little elephants, lizzards, snakes and crocodiles may be seen roaming about at Horace Mann school, Winnetka. No, it's not to be a menagerie, ex- actly, but it will be the presentation of a little play, "The Elephant's Child," a Kipling story. Miss Mabel Ducker's fourth grade pupils are to put it on, for which a splendid array of all sorts of animal costumes, of a real clever sort, have been made. Miss Ducker and Miss Frances Pressler and the children have been working for weeks on the costumes and the preparation of the show, and everybody says its going to be "good." Schools Win and Lose in Baseball Contests Wednesday of last week the seventh and eighth grades of the North Shore Country Day school defeated Skokie school at baseball, 9 to 6. On the same day the ninth grade lost to Skokie, 5 to 4. North Shore has been holding a narrow lead until its pitcher was dis- abled in sliding in to third base, but the contest was close enough to be anvbody's game until the finish. nr Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Ballard of 1229 Hamptondale road, who were in New York for three weeks, have returned to their home. Miss Betty Ballard, who, with Mr. Ballard's parents, spent the past month traveling in Eurove, returned to Winnetka with her father and mother. Evenings 7:30-9; Mat.
