"The Alarm Clock" to Be Next Minturn Production "The Alarm Clock," a new play pro- duced earlier in the season in New York by Charles Frohman, Inc. has been selected for next week's pre- sentation by the Minturn Players at the New Evanston Theater. Avery Hopwood, one of our best known authors, is the author of "The Alarm Clock," and it is generally credited with being one of the best comedies that he has written. The plot has to do with a young bachelor who had developed rheumatism in one foot. The wife of a Senator who is more concerned in the young man's welfare than she probably should be, induces her phy- sician to diagnose the case as one of gout, due to dissipation and high liv- ing. She goes a step farther by in- viting the young man's country rela- tives to come to New York and take care of him. These relatives, consist- ing of a sister, nephew and the lat- ter's fiancee, are quick to learn the ways of New York's night life, and are soon setting a faster pace than the young man whom they are supposed to be guarding. The author has contrived to invest a rapid succession of excruciatingly funny situations, which serve to keep the audience in a high spirit of glee for two hours. In New York the lead- ing parts were played by Blanche Ring, Marion Coakley, Bruce McRae, Vincent Serrano and other well known favorites. The various roles will be capably played by the members of the local company, and one of the most entertaining weeks of the season is confidently expected. rich The average income tax payment in Illinois this year was $102.

This story of fast moving New York life which comes to the Village theatre Monday and Tuesday shows Colleen as the queen of the lobby switchboard of a big New York hotel. There she has an opportunity to study the flirt- ing technique of all the oleomargarine and henfruit merchants, for they all "try out their stuff" on her. Then a bashful young millionarie comes along ang that changes matters. Jack Mulhall is the young oil king. "What Every Girl Should Know" "What Every Girl Should Know," the Warner Bros. production, is the story of what a keen-witted, mirthful and courageous girl did to straighten out life's tangles for her orphan brothers, and incidentally for herself. Patsy Ruth Miller plays the part of the heroine. Carrol Nye and Mickey Mec- Ban are the brothers, and the Prince Charming is Ian Keith. Others in the cast are Carmelita Geragthy, Lillian Langdon and Hazel Howell. Charles F. Reisner who directed Syd Chaplin in "The Better 'Ole," also directed "What Every Girl Should Know," which will be shown on Wednesday and Thursday. "Play Safe" Monty Banks has learned the mean- ing of the old adage, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." When he set out to produce his latest feature comedy, "Play Safe," coming Friday and Saturday, his script con- tained a collection of thrills and laugh- getters calculated to rock the walls of any theater. Climbing on and falling off of runaway freight trains were some of the requirements called for by the scenario, which by the way, Monty himself wrote. THE NORSHORE "Fashions for Women" A fashion show which for lavishness and color outshines anything ever staged in Paris, is one of the scores of unusual and interesting highlights in Esther Ralston's first starring ve- hicle, "Fashions for Women," the Paramount photoplay which comes to the Norshore Theatre next Sunday. More than thirty exclusive creations, from aviation costumes for women to formal afternoon tea-gowns, are worn by Miss Ralston and fifteen beautiful mannequins. They were especially de- signed by Travis Banton, noted fashion creator, following a search through the style centers of the world for the latest information upon the forthcom- ing season's trend in wearing apparel. "Fashions for Women" was made for the screen by Dorothy Arzner, one of the first women ever promoted to the position of director in the history of films. Supporting Miss Ralston are Einar Hanson and Raymond Hatton. THE VARSITY Another exciting comedy program is due tomorrow and Saturday at the Varsity theater. Edward Everett Horton in "Taxi Taxi" will lead the picture bill there with the Collegians in "Breaking Rec- ords," an added feature. There will be a special Saturday matinee with "a barrel of fun for the youngsters." Monday the film feature will be "Ritzy" starring Betty Bronson. Wednesday and Thursday the fea- ture attraction will be Norma Shearer and Lew Cody in "The Demi Bride"-- one of the season's important pictures. Rh oh
