Ld = " June 26, 1926 WINNETKA TALK Stage and Screen News and Reviews VILLAGE THEATRE "Parlor, Bedroom and Shower Bath" might well be used as the title of Raymond Griffith's new Paramount picture instead of its rightful one, "Wet Paint," coming to the Village theatre Monday and Tuesday, June 28 and 29. In this rollicking story of a too- rich young man's efforts to win "the one girl in all the world" he becomes involved with a strange married . woman in an equally strange apart- ment. This particular sequence ends with Griffith and the woman hiding from one another in adjoining shower baths. Helene Costello and Bryant Wash- burn are featured with Griffith in "Wet Paint." Natalie Kingston, Henry Kolker and others also play important roles. To complete an all-comedy bill there will be a Hal Roach comedy, "Don Key," and a Pathe news reel. Dolores Costello, whose glorious performance opposite John Barry- more in "The Sea Beast," made her a star in her own right, confirmed first impressions of her genius in "Bride of the Storm," which comes to the Village theatre on Wednesday, June 30. This is a J. Stuart Blackton production for Warner Bros., adapted from the James Francis Dwyer story, "Maryland, My Maryland," a tale of a lighthouse on the coast of China. The screen version, by Marian Con- stance, abounds in romance, thrills and drama. Included in the splendid sup- porting cast are John Harron, Julia Swayne Gordon, Otto Mattieson, Tyrone Power and Sheldon Lewis. With this picture will be seen an an Aesop's Fable, "Fly Time," and Pathe review. "The Night Cry," Rin-Tin-Tin's latest Warner Bros. feature coming on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 1, 2 and 3, is said to be one of the most colorful pictures in which this famous canine star has ever appeared. HOYBURN THEATER By special request of the patrons Harry Langdon's new feature length comedy "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" is be- ing shown this Friday and Saturday, June 25 and 26, at the Hoyburn thea- tre. This picture, which is said to be 6 reels of continuous fun and laughter, was chosen for the opening attraction at the new Oriental theatre recently. Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day, Belle Bennett will be seen in "The Reckless Lady." Good fortune may come in parcles--but it often weighs deal. At least, it did in the case of Belle Bennett, movie actress, who has sud- denly loomed in the film firmament as a coming star of the first magnitude. For some time Miss Bennett has been playing small parts in obscure pic- tures, hardly receiving any recognition whatever. Then she was cast in the title role of "Stella Dallas," and over- night she became famous. Critics enthusiastically hailed her as one of the most moving players of the day and predicted within a short time that she would rise to the level of film- dom's highest. small a great ENGAGE ORGANIST There must be something in Califor- nia sunshine after all, at least advan- tageous to theatre organists. Balaban and Katz have engaged another popu- lar California organ soloist to preside over the grande organ of their new Norshore theatre on Howard avenue, near Clark street. Jesse Crawford, Milton Charles, Eddie House and Henri Keats are Californians, too. Chauncey Haines, who has been brought East for the opening, is well known to West Coast film devotees. He received his musical education from his father, a noted symphonic musician and conductor, at one time assistant director of the Detroit Symphony or- chestra. Haines has a long series of success- ful engagements to his credit. Among the theatres in California he has been organist of are the new Forum thea- | tre, Los Angeles; The Egyptian, Long Beach: Euclid theatre, Ontario; Cali- fornia theatre, Santa Barbara, and the Strand, Los Angeles.
