TT October 27, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Is Shore Theaters | News ALCYON SHOW "LILAC TIME" Varsity Theater Presents War Pic- ture Starring Gary Cooper and Colleen Moore "Lilac Time," war picture starring Colleen Moore and Gary Cooper is being shown at the Varsity theater. It is based on the stage play in which Jane Cowl had a success. Colleen is her usual roguish self as Jeannine, the little French girl at whose home a group of English aviators is billeted. Her romance with one of these aviators becomes more and more serious as the business of war grows sterner. Then come the tense moments of parting and the grim business of air duels to the death. The concluding part of the pic- ture shows Jeannine searching for her lover, whom she has seen fall in com- bat. Miss Moore, more frequently seen in comedy roles, is excellent in this more serious one, and Gary Cooper, who plays opposite her, will lose none of his popularity as a result of the picture. Bootleggers and hijackers show just how to keep from being bored on a long train trip in "The Midnight Taxi," sound film to be shown at the Varsity for three days beginning next Monday, October 29. Antonio Moreno plays an honest crook who wants to go straight. He pulls one last big liquor job before quitting, and Helene Costello, as the sweetheart of a boy framed by crooks, hooks up with the party. There's a gun battle, an air race, and plenty of excitement when a limited car speeds down a steep grade. school in the Parent-Teacher asso- ciation, in a short talk emphasized what the parents should do in co- operation with the teachers, having shown during the evening what they were doing for their pupils. Mr. Young pointed out that if the following hints were carried out they would make for better parents, better teachers, and happier children. 1. Get the child to school on time. 2. Keep the child at school except in case of illness. 3. Have the child in bed on time. 4. Absolutely no parties during the school week, and Friday and Saturday parties ending at 9:30 o'clock. The following grade chairmen and the teacher with whom they co-operate were in charge of the meeting: Mrs. William Barr, Mrs. Bernhardt; Mrs. John P. Borden, Miss Bubbett; Mrs. Edward P. Farwell, Mr. Cell; Mrs. Carroll H. Thomas, Mr. Devitt; Mrs. Augustus Walters, Mrs. Bray; Mrs. Glen C. Bull, Miss Lilley; Mrs. Lewis M. Williams, Miss Meadows; Mrs. John F. Danley, Miss Mohr; Mrs. Clarence Randall, Miss Myers; Mrs. Charles D. Loper, Miss Ogden; Mrs. Stewart Weston, Miss Olson; Mrs. Adele Heinemann, Miss Persons; Mrs. Lamson H.

Old West Is Setting for Teatro del Lago Film This Saturday "The Glorious Trail," an intense dramatic feature of the old West, is the fare this Saturday, October 27, at the Teatro del Lago. The stringing of the first telegraph wires that con- nected the East with the West serve as the basis for a thrilling, hard-riding, typical Ken Maynard picture. Gladys McConnell plays opposite Mr. May- nard for the second time. More than 300 extra players appear in Clara Bow's new starring picture entitled "The Fleet's In" garbed in the uniform of the United States navy. For the most part, the men selected were ex-naval men so that authentic and realistic atmosphere could be ob- tained. Clara Bow gives one of her strongest characterizations in this pic- ture as the dance hall hostess who is the center of a rivalry between James Hall and Jack Oakie. An All-Star Special "Forgotten Faces" has been booked by the Teatro del Lago management for next Monday and Tuesday. The production is billed as an all-star spe- cial. Clive Brook, Mary Brian, Ba- clanova, William Powell, Fred Kohler, and Jack Luden head the imposing list of talent in the cast. The story in- terest, unusual sets, vivid contrasts and dramatic value of the production entitle it to the rating of a special in the most complimentary sense of that term. Charles Rogers and Marion Nixon have the' leading roles in "Red Lips," college romance which comes to the Teatro del Lago next Wednesday. Ad- mirers of young Rogers won't be able to sing his praises loudly enough after they have seen his performance in this picture. Miss Nixon's role is a sophisticated and gayly reckless one. Behind the scenes in America's vaudeville theaters, one of the most interesting locales in the world, is portrayed accurately for screen pur- poses in "Excess Baggage," which comes to the Teatro del Lago next Thursday and Friday, November 1 and 2, with William Haines as the star. The picture follows the adventures of a vaudeville troupe both on the stage and behind it from Los Angeles to New York City with occasional side- lights into the movie colony of Holly- wood and the NVA club in New York, the home of the big time vaudeville entertainers. SCOTCH PICTURE Percy Marmont, who has been one of the most successful English players on the American screen, has returned to his own country, where he is now at work in a British production, a film- ing of "The Lady of the Lake," being made in Scotland. COMMUNITY HOUSE Tues.. Oct. 30 Fri, Nov. 2 Karl Dane Douglas George K. Fairbanks in Arthur "Th "CIRCUS The Three ROOKIES" Musketeers" Buster Brown Prologue on the Comie Stage Graeme Players, Here 20 Weeks, Still Draw Crowds Next Friday, November 2, the Graeme Players celebrate their twenti- eth week at the Alcyon theater in Highland Park. The length of their stay speaks well for the quality of presentation this stock company of- fers, but their continued ability to draw and delight capacity audiences week after week is additional proof of their great popularity. For their twentieth week play the Graeme Players will present the spark- ling farce, "Second Childhood." This is a fast moving comedy, and with Joe Driscoll playing the lead, the play should be another feather in the cap of the Graeme Players. The feature picture to be presented with this play next Friday will be a revival of the great Metro-Goldwyn success, "Sally, Irene, and Mary," with Joan Crawford, Sally O'Neill, and Constance Bennett in the leading roles. FILM MASON'S STORY After spending more than a year in wildwest Africa filming certain mys- terious sequences, Ernest B. Schoed- sack and Merian Cooper, makers of "Chang," have begun on studio scenes for "The Four Feathers," A. E. W Mason's story. The cast includes Richard Arlen, Fay Wray, Noah Beery, Clive Brook, Theodore von Eltz, and Noble Johnson. Russell Simpson has been assigned a featured role in Pathe's "Noisy Neighbors." 3ALABAN & KAT? ORSHORE HOWARD AVE": CLARK Every Saturday Deluxe KVALE COO-COO CLUB Matinee at 3:00 P.
