The Lubliner and Trinz organization officially takes con- trol of the Varsity April 9. Wallace James, formerly assistant manager of the Chicago and Tivoli theaters, is to be manager of the local movie palace. This is the first time that a movie house in any northern suburb has come into the control of a sizable theatrical organization and the acqui- sition of the Varsity raises the total of the L. & T. string to 24. The lease was negotiated through John F. Hahn and Garfield Anderson of John F. Hahn, Inc. Lubliner and Trinz officials have an- nounced the signing of contracts with Paramount - Famous - Players - Lasky, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, First National, United Artists, Warner brothers and Universal for all their special photo- plays. Evanston movie fans will bene- fit through the change of management because of the position and influence of Lubliner and Trinz and their rela- tions with the prominent producing and distributing film companies. Improvements to the exterior ap- pearance of the Varsity are now in progress and permission will be sought from the city to increase the exterior illumination by approximately 100,000 candlepower through the erection of a larger sign and other changes. It is expected that these improvements will be completed by April 9. Miss Jane Babcock of 566 Ash street, Winnetka, formerly of Wilmette, en- tertained a group of her friends at tea last Sunday evening. Bill-O-Fare Saturday, March 31 "Paredevil's Reward" ............

'40,000 Miles with Lindbergh" Zo Wednesday, April 2-3-4 LOHMAN AT THE GIANT ORGAN New Evanston Play Merits Much Bigger First Night Crowd An audience of only about 60 was on hand Monday night to see the Ev- anston Players present George M. Cohan's humorous piece, "American Born," this week's bill at the New Evanston. The ability of the individual mem- bers of the local stock company and the assurance that Evanstonians have by now that the play on the boards will be fully worth the price of admis- sion warrant larger audiences on first nights and all during the week. Taking into consideration both the plays offered and the manner in which they are done, it is doubtful if better entertainment value could be found anywhere, week after week, than that provided by the Evanston Players. Seldom is there a play in which seven persons have the chance to dis- tinguish themselves, all in fairly im- portant parts. "American Born" is one, however, and the Evanston Play- ers include seven actors and actresses able to do justice to them. The plot is laid in Mulbridge hall, Harrow, England, lately come into the possession of the American scion of the family that has occupied the hall for centuries. This man, Gilson, is ably played by Robert Lowes, the company's leading man. His chief advisor, Clark, is portrayed by Rich- ard Ward, who is able to demonstrate his ability more fully in that role than in any he has had since he joined the company. Gilson, hating England, wants to sell the hall and liquidate the rest of his inheritance as quickly as possible. Two prospective customers, former sweethearts, Sir Arthur Pettering, widower, and Lady Bertram, widow, are done to a turn by Lew Welsh and Ann Dere. Gilson falls in love with Sir Arthur's daughter, Jocelyn, played by Margaret Fuller, and Clark falls in love with Lady Bertram's daughter, Lydia, a role excellently filled by 'the vivacious and charming Joan Peers. Cupid also shoots with precision at Sir Arthur and Lady Bertram and the business affairs of the two Americans, which are responsible for no little comedy, are settled in a satisfactory manner. The seventh star in the galaxy is George Pembroke, who does another of his topping characterizations in the role of Blythe, busybody extraordinary. Robert White is good as the real estate agent, and the other three parts are well taken care of by Karl Way, Beatrice Lieblee and a new- comer, Bernard Kelly. --C. V. K. Chicago Fire Fighters at Work to Be Shown in Films Motion . pictures taken at Chicago fires, showing firemen and apparatus at work, are to be made by the de- partment and shown in local theaters as a means of educating the public as to what the department needs to carry on its work, it was announced recently by Fire Commissioner Good- rich, One of the first films, he said, would show some of the -antiquated quarters he hopes to replace with new. NO GLENCOE MOVIES No pictures are being booked by the Glencoe Union church in view of the advance of spring and the arising of other interests to occupy the chil- dren's attention.
