-- --- cs xmummuta St, November 12, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 45 Shore Theaters News 00 a ------ 0 -- --)-- qt te "The First Auto" to Give Village Patrons a Laugh Do you old timers remember 'way back when the motor car owner's nose was tilted slightly upward in order to be as far away as possible from the gosh-hanged contrapshun's en-jine? Not because of an over worked amount of ego but out of defence against the odor the thing carried and the dust it kicked up but couldn't cut-run? "The First Auto," a Warner Broth- ers film featuring Barney Oldfield and Patsy Ruth Miller, recalls in a vivid manner just those days. It is to the automobile what "The Covered Wag- on" was to the plains days; what the "Iron Horse" was to the transconti- nental railroad--a chronical, inter- spersed with real human interest and comedy, of the coming of the modern travel institution and the way the populace of the rail fence days took it The Village is showing it on Monday and Tuesday. *-% % If you were a philanderer by instinct, had a suspicious wife and a twin brother, what would be the natural outcome ? As a deaf {friend of mine says, "Ya needn't answer, friend." But--if you want to find out seg "Adam and Evil," the second feature of the week. Lew Cody plays a philander- ing husband and also his twin brother in the picture, while Aileen Pringle plays the feminine lead. Lew, how- ever, proves that while twin brothers may in some instances get you into trouble, they can also be depended to get you out. At any rate every time he gets into a tight squeeze and his wife gets the goods on him, he just turns into his brother and "squeezes out again." But as Mae Tinee says--I think it was Mae--it may try to be an evil little comedy but it just can't for it's a humorous, harmless little bit of fun. 5 * "The College Hero," the last of the three leads billed by the Village and which will be shown on Friday and Saturday, is said to be one of the best college pictures ever produced. It has, a brief perusal of the cast will show, all of the talent necessary and the plot follows a logical and interesting trend that should make it a very nice picture to see. Its appeal, however, is not based entirely upon the plot for it seems to contain an element of real college spirit that most of the so-called collece comedy-dramas have missed. Charley Paddock, Ben Turpin, Bobby Agnew, Pauline Garon and Rex Leese are_ among the featured players. C. of C. Launches Ticket Drive for New Evanston The Evanstan Players will reopen at the New Evanston Nov. 28 if the Ev- anston Chamber of Commerce can guarantee Clvde Elliott, manager of the theater, 2,000 paid admissions per week for six weeks.

The committee, which consists of Peter Jans, A. H. Ullrich, Edward Ladd, Allen D. Albert, Harper Payne, Nels M. Hokanson and H. M. Rosen- berg, augmented bv other interested citizens, is now disposing of season tickets for a six-week season The price is $1.10 per week per ticket or $6.60 for the entire season. "Three Wise Fools" the Next Minturn Production A comedy of mirth, master minds and mystery, "Three Wise Fools," the big New York success, presented by John Golden and a sensational hit in New York, Australia and Britain, will be the special offering of the Minturn Players at the Chateau theatre all next week. The story of "Three Wise Fools" is built about three old bachelors who live together and have been together for vears. They have fallen into a rut, in the matter of living. Existence has become a matter of routine until they are even older than they seem to be. All of them, in their youth, have been in love with the same girl. For the first time in years, they receive a mes- sage, written just before her death, asking them to take care of her child. They make plans for the arrival of a baby boy. Then to their astonishment in walks an attractive young girl of eighteen or twenty. From that instant on this marvelous play of laughter and tears moves rapidly towards its finish. "Three Wise Fools" is a brilliant blending of laughter and tears. It has moments when audiences rock back and forth in their chairs overcome with laughter. Then it is followed by those instances when a lump rises in the throat and a tear trembles on the eyelid. COMMUNITY HOUSE The Winnetka Community House is showing "Chang" this Saturday. Three programs will be held, the first starting at 2:30 o'clock, the second at 7:15 and the third at 9 o'clock. "Chang," you will remember, is the big nature film.
