Patsy Ruth Miller and Glen Tryon take the lead in "Painting the Town" and they paint it right. Tryon is a new comer in feature length comedies but if this is any indication of his ability, he should do wonders in the fu- ture. In "Painting the Town" he appears as a village wisecracker with a flair for tricky inventions and wise follies girls. It is a good comedy. "What Happened to Father" is the ludicrous picturing of what befell a timid, henpecked professor, when for one night he threw his inhibitions to the winds. The prof writes plays on the sly under an assumed name. When he is asked to come to the theater where one of his plays is being staged for the first time and is recognized as Professor Bradberry and then arrested for the supposed murder of the man of the other name, things happen in all kinds of ways. Nice little comedy. Of course the "Callahans and Mur- phys" is the prize of the three pictures. Vitaphone Is Feature at Varsity Theater Again Vitaphone is once again to entertain patrons of the Varsity theater, it was announced this week by the manage- ment. New equipment has been in- stalled at the theater and the popular new feature will go into operation at once. The Vitaphone entertainment was stopped recently to repair and in- stall equipment. There is no finer place to live tions. Lap | The Orrington--a home of elegance, happiness, safety and service.

The new program will be put into ef- fect next Sunday. A stage band will be instituted under the direction of Al Kvale, the clarinet-playing clown of Paul Ash's well known band, and one of the most popular of the Merry Mad gang. An orchestra of young collegiate musi- cians, reputed to be capable of the hot- test degrees of jazz as well as some of the most lulling of romantic lullabies, has been assembled. Al will call them his "Jazz Collegians," and promises to have them ready for the opening with a program of song hits to tickle the most particular jazz hounds. For the program Sunday, Lester Al- len, popular Broadway star and veteran of a dozen famous revues, seen re- cently in Chicago in "Le Maire's Af- fairs," has also been engaged. The opening show will also feature such fa- vorites as Ilomay Bailey, the popular blues singer from the Oriental theater; Eddie Hill, the crying comedian with a new group of novelty songs; Jack and Kay Spengler, dance sensations from Earl Carroll's "Vanities," and the Hearst Brothers, proteges of Gus Ed- wards. The screen feature will be "Chang," the much-discussed picture of animal life, which has drawn elaborate com- ment from press and public. Illness of Leading Lady Delays Doug's New Film Lupeta Velez, Douglas Fairbanks' leading lady in his latest picture "The Gaucho," is seriously ill with peritoni- tis. She was stricken recently when she had almost finished her role in the production. Two scenes calling for her appearance remain to be filmed. Until she recovers sufficiently to resume her work, the company will go ahead with other scenes. Marjory Williams Returns to New Evanston Sept. 5 Marjory Williams, the leading lady for the Minturn Players during their stand at the New Evanston last win- ter, is to return during the coming season with a different company, it was announced this week. Ernest Woodworth, a player who, it will be remembered, played on the north shore during the period that Harry Minturn became so well known, is director of the company. The opening date is set for September 5. Constance Talmadge to Appear Soon in "Sunny" Contance Talmadge's trip abroad won't be spoiled with any heartaches over losing "The Last of Mrs. Cheney" to Gloria Swanson. Her brother-in- law, Joseph Schenk, whose talent as a diplomat is really wasted in the mov- ies, has cabled Connie that "Sunny," With David Wark Griffith directing, will be her next United Artists' assign- ment. : -
