Comedy Sensation "Pigs" at New Evanston Monday There was a general laugh along Broadway two seasons ago when John Golden, known throughout the land as a producer of clean, wholesome Ameri- can plays, announced a forthcoming All the joke- sters were asking each other how in the world there could be a clean play about such a notoriously unclean ani- mal. But as usual this astute producer turned the laugh and on the opening night, "Pigs," which opens next Mon- day evening at the New Evanston theater for a week's run, proved to be the season's comedy sensation. The pigs in the play, and there is a whole litter of them, are the secret property of the youthful sweethearts and business partners, Junior Atkins and Mildred Cushing. Junior, being the youngest of the Atkins, is looked upon as the baby of the family in spite of his years, and never for a moment taken seriously. However, when the fatal impending mortgage falls due, and there is no money to meet it, Junior cashes in on the pigs and saves the day. The baby of the family becomes the man of the house, openly claims the girl he loves and all ends happily. And it isn't all as easy as it sounds, although this engaging young couple, with the fresh optimism of youth leaps insurmountable barriers and laugh at obstacles, there is a tenseness through- out the play and climax upon climax piles up, that accounts for its spec- tacular success. The laughs are at every turn, and the powerfully roman- tic theme of youth in love provides one of the outstanding plots ever seen on the stage. GIVE DANCE RECITAL The Gladys Hight School of Danc- ing will present its eighth annual spring recital at the Eighth street theater, Chicago, on the evenings of May 18 and 19. The program of the "Ballet Unique of 1927" will include a children's ballet and an adult bac- chanale group of 100 people. Village Theatre WILMETTE, ILL. Your Home Theater J. B.

This rumor got under way through the good-natured efforts of a well known Hollywood wag because of the apt title of the photoplay and because the comedian used a number of ani- mals in his comedy sequences, includ- ing a herd of camels, mules, horses, goats, a lion, an educated snake, and his own pet parrot, Loretta. "T always believe in using animals in pictures," the comedian grinned when gonfronted with the rumor. "Animals, when handled correctly be- fore the camera, are the most natural actors in the world. They supply plenty of laughs, too. However, we also must have beauty, so Edna Mur- phy is playing the leading feminine role." "White Flannels" The football game which is one of the high-lights in "White Flannels," the Warner Bros. production, featur- ing Louise Dresser and Jason Robards, was coached by Aubrey Devine, se- lected by many as All-American quar- terback in 1921. Robards is cast as the heroic young coal-miner who becomes the football idol of the college, and leads the team to victory in one of the hardest bat- tles ever filmed for a scren production. It arouses audiences to a high pitch of enthusiasm. Featured with Dresser and Robards are Virginia Browne Faire, Richmond Warner, George Nichols and Brooks Benedict. Lloyd Bacon has scored one of his biggest successes in his direction of the play. A big coal mine disaster and a col- lege football game are the outstanding spectacular features. "White Fannels" will be shown on Wednesday and Thursday only. "Long Pants" Harry Langdon brings his newest First National picture, "Long Pants," to the Village next Friday and Satur- day. The story was written by Arthur Ripley. Frank Capra directed. Be- ginning in San Francisco just before the earthquake and fire, the story touches briefly upon the birth of the hero." He is then shown at eight and later at seventeen. As the title indi- cates, the plot revolves around the the boy's first pair of long pants. "Long Pants" is the initial produc- tion made by Langdon at the big new First National studios in Burbank. TEATRO DEL LAGO "Flesh and the Devil" "Flesh and the Devil," one of the outstanding plays of the season as far as originality in plot and character- ization are concerned, will be pre- sented at Teatro del Lago next Thurs- day and Friday. John Gilbert and Greta Garbo play the leads in the production which is based upon a story of foreign origin.
