CALL IN BILL TODAY-- % HE'S IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TODAY--AND EVERY DAY I'd love to go, Helen, but my laundress comes on Monday She denies herself the pleasure of a Bridge party for the worry and trouble of the weekly wash. And all so needlessly. In the hours that she spends in overseeing the laundry work, she could be free for other pleas- anter duties -- reading--charitable work -- long play hours with the children.

The picture is important because it reveals Miss Costello as one of the deftest comediennes now on the screen. again. role of Warner that comes In "The Sea Beast," with John Barrymore, when she made her first great success, coming from nowhere as far as the screen is concerned, to immediate stardom, she was revealed as a romantic actress of unique po- tentialities. In her appealing wistful beauty, one felt the sway of the girl just turning to womanhood; the ro- mantic vision of all youth's dreams; the far off poetry of classic heroines: the loveliness that was Juliet, the daintiness that was Perdita. A conquerer in the fields of romance, of modern drama, and thundering mel- odrama, Miss Costello now turns to comedy for another triumph. And, according to all reports, "The Little Irish Girl" is lifted to a shining place among the year's pictures by the star's acting. In addition to the feature picture there will be a Charlie Chase comedy and a Pathe news reel. Perhaps the best remembered inci- dent of the popular musical comedy, "The Prince of Pilsen," played for a long while on Broadway, is the scene in which Hans Wagner, Cincinnati brewer, falls in the basin of a fountain of the village inn. Theatregoers never fail to recall this funny "fountain scene."

PHONE 137 q WINNETKA ED SANITARY ZN AEN [Te 'he Prince of Pilsen," which will be presented at the Village theatre next Wednesday and Thursday, this foun- tain sequence is shown with side- splitting comedy effect, and George Sidney, in the part of the inebriated Hans, splashes about in the water like a fish. When he searches his pocket for a match to light his cigar, he pulls out--a goldfish! Other prominent roles in this rous- ing farce comedy are played by Anita Stewart, Allan Forrest, Myrtle Sted- man, Otis Harlan and Rose Tapley. "Rah! Rah! Heidelberg," a Van Bibber comedy and a Pathe review will complete the bill. On Friday and Saturday, July 23 and 24, there will be a double feature bill, with "Grass" and a Charlie Chap- lin revival, "The Idle Class." There will .also be a Pathe news reel. Into the far-flung wilds of Western Asia went the three adventurers who made the picture called "Grass," in- tent on getting a film of events which no white man had ever seen before-- the picture of a forgotten people who lived as our ancestors did centuries ago. Especially thrilling are the scenes showing the crossing of wildly rushing rivers, outdoing even "The Covered Wagon"--for that was deliberate; while this is thoroughly spontaneous-- often too much so for the cattle. NEW CAMPUS THEATRE This Saturday, July 17, Charlie Chaplin and Jackie Coogan in a re- vival picture, "The Kid," will be shown. "The Masquerade Bandit," and Aesop's Fables are also on the program. On Monday and Tuesday, July 19 and 20, Ernest Torrence and William Collier will be seen in "The Rainma- ker," whch was adapted from Gerald Beaumont's racetrack serial, "Heaven- bent." The movie has many thrilling scenes which make up a gripping and dramatic story of romance. Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin, Bus- ter Keaton, et al, had better look to their laurels, for Leatrice Joy has en- tered the field of feature comedies in competition. In "Eve's Leaves," view next Wednesday, Leatrice has launched on her comedy career. She has been noted for her ability in com- edy scenes, although unlike many of her sister stars, she never appeared in two-reel slapsticks. The locale of "Eve's Leaves" is Chi- na, a setting presenting the opportun- ity for a variety of funny business, written into the adaptation Elmer Hre- ris prepared from the New York staxe success. The upward trend of motion pictures has carried the comedy into the dignity of seven reels. Rupert Julian, whose reputation as a "builder of thrills" was convincingly established by his two most recent directorial efforts. "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Three Faces East," directed "Silence," Beulah Marie Dix's screen adaptation of Max Marcin's sensational crook play. The picture will be shown at the New Campus theatre next Thursday and Friday. H. B. Warner, star of the original New York stage presentation, is fea- tured, with Vera Reynolds, Raymond Hatton, Rockcliffe Fellowes, Jack Mul- hall and Virginia Pearson. The pic- ture is said to be thrilling in the extreme. There will also be an Our Gang comedy, "Uncle Tom's Uncle." HOYBURN THEATRE Eating broiled lobster while listening to the spirited strains of a jazz band may not be associated with jail life, but that is shown to be exactly the case in "Sweet Daddies." the new M. C. Levee picture for First National which is booked to be shown at the Hoyburn theatre here next Monday, Tuesdav and Wednesday. The jail is not really a jail, however. which will be on
