The Best of Everything in the Best of the West NEW VARSITY THEATER TO BE OPENED DEC. 23 Evanston's 2500-Seat Playhouse | Embodies Novel Ideas in Decoration Thursday, Dec. 23, will be the open- ing date of the Varsity, Evanston's new 2,500 seat motion picture theater de luxe, according to announcement made this week by Manager Clyde El- liott. The event is expected to focus the attention not only of the Evanston and North Shore public but also of motion picture people over the coun- try, because of the unusual character of the new theater and of its strategic position. Evanstonians have a surprise in store for them, it is believed, when they en- ter the Varsity on the opening day. Prominent theater men who have vis- ited the theater, at Church street and Sherman avenue, as it neared com- pletion have classed it among the most beautiful and most distinctive motion picture houses in the country.

Scrap Old Ideas A new conception of theater in- teriors was worked out for the Varsity, aided by a unique and striking light- ing effect. Conventional ideas of theater decoration were scrapped by (those who conceived the Varsity, it is reported, in order to give the North Shore one of the outstanding play- houses of the country. Foyer, lounges, smoking rooms are being furnished and decorated with a luxuriousness in keeping with the rest of the theater. Iced air in summer time is made pos- sible in the theater by the installation of the newest type of refrigerating and ventilating unit. The pipe organ was built by the Geneva Organ company and required upwards of a year in the building. To Feature First-Run Pictures First run pictures, the mst impor- tant offerings of filmdom, will be the policy of the Varsity, according to Mr. Elliott. It is the stated ambition of the man- |. such merit as to attract théater-goers from not only the north shore towns but from Chicago as well. Mr. Elliott and his associates also control the New Evanston and the Hoyburn theaters. Hold Christmas Fete as Laboratory Stage Benefit January 7 has been set as the tenta- tive date for a Russian Christmas cele- bration to be held at the Casino club, Chicago for the benefit of the Chi- cago Laboratory theatre. At a meeting of the committee sponsoring the theater, which was held at the home of Mrs. William Stanton Monroe, chairman, this novel form of entertainment was decided upon both as a holiday gayety and as a means of raising the fund which is to assure the theater's first public production. Though the place and the date are not altogether certain because of numerous holiday parties, the Russian Christmas week will be the time, and plans for the program are under way. It will have a Chauve Souris atmos- phere no doubt, and a one-act play by the Laboratory Theater company will be its chief feature. Costumes will be in order though not obligatory and that is all that has leaked out as to details. Miss Dorothy Schmidt, Mrs. Helen Walton and Emily Hamill and a group of Junior leaguers are aiding the reg- ular committee, and will have all the surprise numbers on the program in charge. In the list of those who are interested in the theater and its work are Mrs. Laird Bell, Mrs. Mason Bross, Mrs. Charles Besley, Mrs. Stuyvesant Peabody, Mrs. Robert Hamill, Mrs. Theodore Tieken, Mrs. Howard Wil- lett, Theodore B. Hinckley and Arthur Meeker, Jr. THE CAMPUS "Kosher Kitty Kelley" is on the screen today at the Campus theater. Viola Dana carried the lead. "Morgan- son's Finish" will be shown when the bill changes Saturday, the screen inter- pretation of a Jack London story, with Anita Stewart and Johnny Walker in leading roles. "Out of the Storm," featuring Jacqueline Logan and Ed- mund Burns, will come Monday. An engagement of interest to resi- dents of Winnetka, is that of Miss Gladys Florence Talbot, daughter of Mrs. E. A. Talbot of 6419 Glenwood avenue, Chicago, to Maurice Ross, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Ross of Lin- coln, Neb.
