June 19, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 37 Stage and Screen News and Reviews VILLAGE THEATRE Some of the secrets of horse racing are revealed in "The Million Dollar Handicap," a Metropolitan picture which will be on view at the Village theatre next Monday and Tuesday, June 21 and 22. The production features two exceptionally thrilling horse races. Jockeys from practically all the not- able tracks of America appear in the production among them being Robert Cox, winner of the famous English Derby of 1918 for the late Richard Croker. Edmund Burns, Ralph Lewis, Ward Crane, Tom Wilson and other screen celebrities appear in support of Vera Reynolds. Aside from the romantic and thrilling situations in "The Million Dol- lar Handicap" there is a goodly amount of genuine comedy. To complete the bill there will be a Charlie Chase comedy, "Dog Shy" and a Pathe news reel. In "The Untamed Lady," coming to the Village theatre on Wednesday and Thursday, June 23 and 24, Gloria Swan- son returns to the type of picture that first brought her into screen promin- ence. The story, an exciting comedy- romance, with a de luxe society back- ground, was written especially for the Paramount star by that widely read fiction writer, Fannie Hurst. As the enormously rich society debutante, whose terrible temper gets her into all sorts of scrapes, Gloria has a role that gives her a splendid oppor- tunity to display her rare flair for comedy as well as to exhibit her ability as a dramatic actress. It is probably the most versatile part she has had in months, and she is said to give a per- formance that is perfection itself. The plot hinges on the determined attempt on the part of Gloria's fiance to tame her, and develops a host of hu- morous and thrilling incidents. Larry Gray, remembered for his fine work opposite Miss Swanson in "Stage Struck," is again her leading man. A Hal Roach comedy, "The Noonday Whistle" and a Pathe review will also be shown on this bill. Friday and Saturday, June 25 and 26, there will be a double feature pro- gram. Charlie Chaplin will be seen in a revival of one of his funniest hits, "A Dog's Life" and Tom Mix will be seen in a fast-moving western entitled "My Own Pal." Crooks outwitted, hearts made glad, a great police department vindicated-- this is the swift summary of "My Own Pal," film version of Gerald Beau- mont's thrilling - story, "The Gallant Guardsman." Olive Borden, playing the feminine lead in this virile story of the West, has a rare opportunity to display her marked ability, while Tom Santschi, Jay Hunt, Virginia Marshall, Bardson Bard and others acquit themselves creditably. A Pathe news reel will also be shown. THE NEW CAMPUS "Born in the West," a cyclonic Zane Grey thriller that fairly bristles with hair-trigger action and warm romance, comes to the New Campus theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day. It was produced amid the wild, natural beauty of Western crags and canyons on the same spectacular scale that has placed Zane Grey Paramount pictures in a class by themselves among outdoor classics of the screen. Harold Lloyd and Charlie Chaplin have to adorn their faces before start- ing into work. Harold isn't himself without goggles and the same goes for Chaplin sang mustache. Ravmond Griffith, Paramount's comedy. star, leaves his features alone and concentrates on the clothes he wears. Evidently having heard once upon a time that "Clothes make the man," Ray has adopted a silk hat as standard equipment. In addition to this, he usually wears a natty cravat, cutaway coat, patent leather shoes and spats. e When one of the Griffith pictures is announced, both exhibitors and public alike, welcome it with open arms. "Wet Paint," the latest Griffith comedy, arrives at the New Campus on Thursday, and if advance reports can be taken as meaning much, it promises to be better than anything the come- dian has yet done. Arthur Rosson directed. Helene Costello and Bryant Washburn head a splendid supporting company. "Wet Paint" was adapted by Lloyd Ccrigan from an original story by Reginald Moris. THE NEW EVANSTON The "uniform figure" is the latest peril of the screen. So declares Doy D'Arcy, the Crown Prince of "The Merry Widow" and now playing the sinister General Marlanx in Marion Davies' new Cosmopolitan production "Beverly of Graustark," which comes next Monday to the New Evanston theatre. D'Arcy says that he's been strapped into tight uniforms so much that he's beginning to develop a wasp waist. In "The Merry Widow" he wore a uniform. In "La boheme" he was laced in the outfit of a French dandy and in the new picture he wears a uniform even more glove-fitting than that in "The Merry Widow." Antonio Monreno plays the male lead. Charlie Ray and Joan Crawford will be seen in "Paris" the latter part of the week. The story tells of an American tourist who falls in love with an Apache girl--and the girl's lover, the Apache leader, who sends the gang after him. Then things happen fast and furious--and there are fights, thrills and laughs--some wonderful gowns, a lot of beautiful settings-- and altogether it's a picture every girl wants to see--for Charlie Ray's sake --for Joan Crawford's sake--and for her own sake.

A new vista opens to her as she penetrates beneath the grime of hobohemia. "Miss Nobody" is an adaption of the celebrated novel "Shebo," by Tiffany Wells. It is a First National release.
