All that is new in stage trickery, dance routines, lighting effects and musical selections will be introduced during the presentation. Every scene will reveal some pleasant new sur- prise to delight the audience. For the occasion Al and his popu- lar jazz collegians will render a wide selection of tuneful melodies and in- troduce the cast of talent that assists him in this weekly revue. Heading the bill will be Peggy Ber- nier, the clever songstress who is be- ing held over for a second week. The show will be further augmented by Forsythe and Kelly, a dancing duo; Gray and White, an eccentric dance pair, and the Great Gregory, per- former of a dozen instruments. The hilarious comedy epic of the firefighters, "Fireman, Save My Child," which proved such a success at the Roosevelt theater recently, will be the film offering for the week. The irre- pressible comedy team, Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton, carry the major parts of the film to the heights of hilarity. GLENCOE MOVIES The Glencoe Union church will pre- sent "California," featuring Tim McCoy, at the regular weekly program Friday afternoon, November 11.

"Cheat- ing Cheaters," is a story of what would happen if New York's crooks broke down the barriers of society and in- vaded the realms-of the elite. In it is intermingled a well worked out love plot in which the affairs of the hero do not go as smoeéthly as might be ex- pected. "The Chinese Parrot," adapted from the Earl Deer Bigger's story of the same name, will be featured on Sun- day. The action of the play takes place on the tropical shores of Hono- lulu, the Mojave desert and San Fran- cisco's Chinatown and contains an un- usual bizarre mystery plot. Marion Nixon and Edmund Burns carry the title roles. For the first three days of next week, Teatro del Lago has scheduled that master John Gilbert war film, "The Big Parade." While the story is a simple one, simply told, the splen- did characterizations of John Gilbert and Rene Adoree aided by a superb cast, build into the film an unusual element of romance and heart interest that, however, well written into the plot would have failed of such great success with indifferent acting. Frequently terrible in its swiftness and emotional quality, "The Big Parade" is not all filled with the ter- ror of war. Its first half is repete with almost continuous laughter. The second half shows, more clearly than anything else ever has, its grim realities. The inimitable Bebe Daniels of the "Campus Flirt" returns again in "Swim, Girl, Swim," to be shown on Thursday and Friday. As a nature student who longs to become a great athletic star, Bebe takes up swimming, much to the amusement of her friends as she cannot swim a stroke. She en- ters the channel swim and is declared the winner--following which things happen very suddenly. The University of California is the locale for the play and "Trudy" Ederle plays the part of the swimming coach. One Illinois electric light and power compay furnishes power to 107 coal mines within the state, one of the mines being the largest in the world, the New Orient mine at West Frank- fort. ACT TO SAVE PLAYERS Evanston C. of C. Requests Co-opera- tion in Re-establishing Evanston Players; "See and Believe." The end of this week sees the last performance of the Evanston Players unless the Evanston Chamber of Com- merce can guarantee to Clyde Elliott, manager of the New Evanston, the sale of 2,000 season tickets for a season of six weeks. In the event that the guar- antee can be met, the theater will re- open with approximately the present company on Nov. 28, The sale of season tickets was the solution proposed by a committee ap- pointed by President C. S. Wallace of the chamber to take steps to keep the players here. For those of you who desire to see a "nigh onto" perfect play presented by a "nigh onto" perfect cast, take a tip from me and see "Adam and Eva" this week. It is clever, it is humorous, the cast is well selected and presents the characterizations just as you or I might expect to see them in any fam- ily group. I believe that I have never seen a smoother production either in the loop or on the north shore. You may consider these statements a little broad but as Solomon would say, "Consider a while." "Old English" was a brilliant produc- tion--but "Old English" was made by George Arlis and the majority of the supporting actors were very mediocre in comparison. In "Rain" Jean Eagles and one or two others stood out but again the remainder of the cast were "carried." The same is true with the casts of most of the other plays that have enjoyed great popularity in the city. The Evanston Players are an un- usually well rounded group of actors. Each player is particularly well adapted to a certain type of characterization and almost invariably appears in that type of role. In addition to Margery Williams and Earnest Woodward, about whom have said much and there is much to say, consider Lew Welch--invariably an old man. And I defy vou to find any great flaws in his work. Night after night and week after week he has been spontaneously applauded during the plav. The same is true of Jean Clar- endon who plays the most difficult types of Japanese servant or a Scotch Lord. The same may be said of prac- tically every actor in the group. Take a tip and go down before this week is checked off and see for your- selves. T think you will be among those taking part in the program to assure their staying. mivz CHATEAU tHEATRE BROADWAY AT GRACE STREET All this Week MINTURN PLAYERS with HARRY MINTURN in T he Screamingly Funny Farce "THE FALL OF EVE" Next Week-- "THE BAD MAN" PHONE LAKEVIEW 7170 Evenings 25¢, 50c and 75¢ Every Evening at 8:15--Mats.
