On Monday and Tuesday, Monty Blue and Patsy Ruth Miller will be featured in "Wolf's Clothing," a mys- tery romance of unusual dramatic in- terest. It is a screen version of a story written by Arthur Somers Roche and deals with the adventures of a subway guard on a wild New Year's Eve in New York. W. C. Field's master comedy, "The Potters" is the main feature for Wed- nesday and Thursday. It is a story of middle-class American life. The chief character is Pa Potter, a pomp- ously ineffectual man; solid citizen, husband and father; with an alpaca office coat and a patch on the seat of his trousers; a hero every day but pay day. It is said to be W. C. Field's greatest triumph and chuck full of real honest laughs. The third of the week's highlights is Colleen Moore's "Twinkletoes." Colleen takes an entirely new type of character in this production, portray- ing a saucy little Cockney lass, a square shooter in every way and the pride of all Limehouse. It is one of Thomas Burke's most colorful Limehouse tales and deals with the love of the little heroine, "Twink' ~-Ye Olde Haylofte 626 GROVE STREET Corner of Sherman Phone Greenleaf 140 FAMOUS Served Daily $7.00 5:00 to 9:00 Sundays DINNER 12:00 to 9:00 MENU for SUNDAY FEBRUARY 27, 1927 Shrimp Cocktail Celery and Queen Olives Chicken Okra Soup Saltines Lake Superior Trout Maitre de Hotel Braised Veal Demi Glace Fried Ham Steak Country Style Chicken ala King en Patties Roast Loin Pork and Apple Sauce Prime Rib of Beef au jus Candied Sweet or au gratin Potatoes Cauliflower Polanaise or String Beans Lettuce ¥ Tomato Salad French Dressing Hot Rolls Apple or Hot Mince Pie Chocolate, Strawberry or Vanilla Ice Cream Haylofte Loaf Whipped Cream Under the Personal Direction of Frint George Dinner Dancing Daily Except Sunday 7:00 to 9:00 No Cover Charge. ETT TTT wm Minasi and Chuck; a delicate piece of sweetness and ideal romance in the midst of London's slums. It is deeply dramatic and poignant, but it has com- edy spice too and is one of Colleen's greatest pictures. THE NORSHORE Zane Grey, author of many of the best known Western stories, offers another popular yarn in film form at the Norshore theater starting Sunday. "The Mysterious Rider," an absorb- ing Western thriller, starring Jack Holt assisted by Betty Jewel, Charles Sellon, David Torrence, Tom Kennedy and Arthur Hoyt is the attraction. The battle of homesteaders to re- tain their land from designing crooks is the theme of the picture and the introduction of the master crook's daughter as the heroine puts a speed in the picture that makes it rare en- tertainment. Against this background a delightful love story is unfolded and some excellent comedy presented. The principal outdoor scenes were filmed in the glorious grandeur of the Sierras of California and in the Val- ley of Fire, one of the most astound- ing scenic phenomena of the world. John Waters, the director, has a long and prodigious list of Western screen hits to his credit. MINTURN PLAYERS Showing that she could excellently handle a part radically different from the coy and cloying roles of flapperish young wives which she has for the most part played during her sojourn here this season, Miss Margery Wil- liams of the Minturn Players scored a considerable success in "The Bat" opening at the New Evanston Monday evening. This week's play is another of the creepy thrilling, exciting, spooky offer- ings of Avery Hopwood and Mary Roberts Rinehart, after the order of "The Cat and the Canary," full of tricky lighting and stage effects, all skillfully handled. Mr. Minturn plays with customary capability in the role of Anderson, the detective, and the cast gives the two leads excellent support. Monday was "Dewey School Night" at the New Evanston and it was crowded with an enthusiastic and ap- plauding audience. Next week the players will offer Nita Loos' play, "The Whole Town's Talking." THE VARSITY A Ken Maynard picture,"The Over- land Stage," will be on the screen to- morrow and Saturday at the Varsity theater. A band of several hundred Sioux In- dians and most of the rough-riding population of Deadwood, §S. Dak. were used in producing the picture, to- gether with Hollywood cowboys. The screen version of the novel "Bardeleys the Magnificent" will be on the screen Wednesday, a King Vidor production starring John Gilbert, while with Monday's change of bill the show- ing will be Richard Dix's newest com- edy-drama, "Paradise for Two." Betty Bronson plays the leading feminine role. THE OWL IS DEAD Mysterious death overtook the Hay- lofte owl this week. For months one of the attractions of the Haylofte where it had gained entrance one summer evening by flying in through a window, the bird of wisdom Tues- day passed away as mysteriously as it arrived. It simply toppled over and died, or vice versa. Frint George, entrepreneur of the Haylofte believes the owl scented city election day afar and committed suicide to avoid being served boiled on the day after election to some of Frint's political friends.
