: : ! July 28, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 41 News of the Theaters "Sadie Thompson" Will Be Shown at Teatro Next Week Esther Ralston, Gloria Swanson, Milton Sills, Syd Chaplin, Gary Cooper, Ford Sterling, and Sally Phipps head the list of film celebrities who have leading parts in pictures to be shown at the Teatro del Lago during the coming week. A range of costumes from winter sports to beach togs is worn by Sally Phipps in "The News Parade," which is the Teatro del Lago picture for this Saturday, July 28. As the vivacious daughter of an eccentric millionaire, the lovely Sally is pursued by Nick Stuart, playing a newsreel cameraman. The action of the picture takes the company, directed by David Butler, through a most exciting chase from New York, where Sally helps daddy by being a stenographer in his office, to Palm Beach, where she has ample opportunity to display her bathing togs and silk sports costumes. A new kind of underworld--that of a large city's populous and mysteri- ous Chinatown--furnishes the back- ground of "The Hawk's Nest," starring Milton Sills, which will be shown at the Teatro del Lago this Sunday. The story concerns two underworld resorts, operated largely to thrill tourists. Sills manages one of these cafes, while Montagu Love, another underworld gangster, operates a rival establish- ment which is attempting to put Sills' place, "The Hawk's Nest," out of busi- ness. The enmity between Sills and Love is deepened through Sills' pro- tecting the dancer, played by Doris Kenyon, who is sought by Love. "Skirts," a picture with a lighter vein, is the Teatro del Lago attraction for Monday. It is an adaptation of Walter W. Ellis' London stage suc- cess, "A Little Bit of Fluff," and the leading role is played by Syd Chaplin. It is his first independent production. The theme of the comedy is that of the young husband enjoying his first vacation from marital cares. The story of "Half a Bride," Teatro del Lago offering for Tuesday, goes something like this. A girl of 21 has tasted all the thrills of life (so she thinks). As a final gasp she enters into a marriage with the companion of an evening, inspired by a mad im- pulse and a lecture on companionate marriage. Her father breaks up the ill-advised union by kidnapping her and taking her on a long sea voyage aboard his yacht. She escapes from the yacht in a launch, but the young captain of the. yacht jumps overboard after her. A storm arises and they are cast ashore on a deserted island where the girl learns to work and love. She is Esther Ralston and he is Gary Cooper. Nancy Carroll, who scored her first screen triumph in "Ladies Must Dress," with Virginia Valli, and played the title role in "Abie's Irish Rose," is cast in the leading romantic role of "Chicken a la King," coming to the Teatro del Lago next Wednesday, August 1. The cast also includes Ford Sterling, George Meeker, Arthur Stone and Frances Lee. The story deals with a staid business man who breaks the traces of marriage after twenty years and becomes a patron of chorus girls. "Sadie Thompson," Gloria = Swan- son's second independent production for United Artists and one of the best recent pictures, is to be shown at the Teatro del Lago for two days next week, Thursday and Friday. Primary interest in this picture is focused on Miss Swanson's interpretation of the colorful "Sadie Thompson," the social exile of W. Somerset Maugham's story, whose struggle to mend a way- ward existence becomes tragically com- plicated through misguided efforts of a South Seas reformer. Pearl Theatre Will Show Myrna Loy Film Tomorrow "The Little Buckaroo" is the name of the picture to be shown at the Pearl theatre in Highland Park today, and the chief actor is Buzz Barton. Tomorrow Myrna Loy will be seen in "Out With the Tide." "Million Dollar Mystery," starring Lila Lee and James Kirkwood is the Monday at- traction. "Woman Against the World," with Harrison Ford, is booked for Tuesday. The program of August shows will begin on Wednesday with "House of Scandal" and an all star cast. H. BR. Walthall"s "A Light in the Window" is scheduled for Thursday, and "The Silent Hero" for Friday. Clothes make the man, but they make the woman, too. At least the picture to be shown as an added fea- ture at the Pearl on Friday is en- titled "Clothes Make the Woman." It is estimated that the United States government expends $750,000,000 a year for the care of war veterans. This sum is equal to the cost of running the entire federal government, out- side of the Post Office Department be- fore the World War. Russian Film Comes to Playhouse This Sunday "The Legend of the Bear's Wed- ding" or "The Tragedy of the Un- born," the newest Russian film, a vivid drama showing the far-reaching and tragic effects pre-natal influences may have on the life of an individual, comes to the Playhouse Sunday, July 29, for a week's run. This unusual film was produced by Sovkino, whose early masterpieces, "Potemkin" and Czar Ivan the Ter- rible," everyone - is familiar with. Lunacharsky, Soviet Minister of Edu- cation, adapted the film story from an old legend. Konstantine V. Eggert, one of the leading members of the Russian stage, plays the stellar role in this film be- sides having directed it. He is sup- ported by Vera Malinovayskaya, most famous of the younger Russian ac- tresses. Both Mr. Eggert and Mme. Malinovayskaya are members of the world famous Moscow Art theatre or- ganization. Ralph Reader, who staged the dances in "The Greenwich Village Follies," which will be presented at the Four Cohans Grand Opera house beginning July 29, is probably the youngest pro- fessional director in America, if not in the world. Mr. Reader will be 23 on his next birthday. Despite his ex- treme youth, he has had fifteen years of stage experience. In recent years soybeans have out- stripped all other Illinois field crops in spread of acreage and popularity.
