WILMETTE LIFE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1924 THERE ON STAGE AND ·S CREEN By Thes~ STAGE "APPLESAUCE" LaSalle Tlrralre It i- a fair prophecy that "Applesauce" b~ at the LaSalle for some lked On out; ~rth >een hen the the ents ical es a ent the ive in ·ceb hc rorc 1t packs up for New York. }'u;t h w it wi.ll fare on Bro:-d~ay is a matt~r n i conjecture; here 1t IS .meeting ,, it h much success and provmg . a great lit tle ·:laugh getter." . Tht: play IS an attempt at presentmg the ,,dl known characters of small town liic in .1 manner differing from previous cffnrt,; in that direction. In this, the author. Barry Connors, has achieved con-iderable success. There is much that n·m1mb one of previous plays and this ll'ith particular reference to the " ShowOff" now current in New York. But there i, a different "something" about it that i' quite satisfying to the average play-goe r. "Applesauce," it seems, is analgous to flatte n·. bla rney, hot air and other terms · ha1 ·c had their innings. Bill Me. r is the town's leading "appletxpcrt. He lives on the theory that a libe ral use of it makes other peo.ple h<~ppy and that there is more satisiact iPII in that than in striving to make mnney. Consequently he is a happy-goluckY ,art of individual who hates work and ·loi'C> "applesauce." Allan Dinehart, who plays the part nf Bill. Jnakes him a genial, college bred no account who u es his glib tongue with good effect and manages to get along ~umeway. He is the luckless aspirant i or th~ hand of the village belle. She, it seem>. ha s engaged herself to the sub-tamial and practical "catch" because he happened to a:.k her first.

H ~ transgresses playwriting rules. He ta1l · to n:form and the play is better for it. . Claihornc Foster, here not so long ago with l\lr. Dinehart in "Two Fellows and a Girl,' ' is the village belle. She has .aken iull account of the type of girl is called upon to play. Impetuous, sensible or blindly faithful as the requires, she gives a splendid ~rt<Jrnlan,ce. Jessie Crommette is the mother, and is capital. If you . lived t~o close t_o the bript lights all your life, she w 111 bring back memories and a realism that rings true. The rest of the cast, with one exception, is atisfactory. · " Applesauce" presents an evening of riotous iun and is wholesome and human. There is much dialogue concerning men, marriage and money all of which is filled with many comic phrases and easilv assimilated t' . sa ·re. "!II girl may be brought up in the refined atmosphere and under the guidance of a society woman who has suffe_re_ d, from strained finances: After prohibition, the mother becomes own er of a swell gambling house fre quented by the so- called "upoer crust." Here. iPnocently, comes the da~ghter and her fiance . The best act1on starts here and leads up to a successful conclusion. Dresser plays "Mother Louise O'Day" and make s a real character out of it. She seems to se nse the exact length s to which she should go in order that the part he not overdone. Assis tin g liberally are such good actors and actresses as Ricardo Cortez, Kathlyn Williams and Virgin~a Lee CorbiQ. The latter, graduatmg from the roles of little girls makes a sweet and fetching young lady. To top the picture off. McVickers put on a "jazz" week which was composed of numbers of that nature and some that more nearly approached the classical. It proved to be a popular feature with Charley Straight and his orchestra taking top honors. "Prodigal Daughters." "Shadows of Paris" and "Icebound"-to the time DeM ille saw in this player of semicharacter parts a type he wanted, the fla~per grown-up to marriage and senousness. "They tell me I have a w6nderful chance ," said the new "comet" at her home )Vhich is a block fr~m a big studio and where she was brought up.

That famous line will have a real touch Sunday, October 12, when the Howard theatre will show as its feature picture, "One Night in Rome." Since the ret~rn to the screen '!f Rudolph Valentino, the talk of mov1e fans has been mainly on the showing of "Monsieur Beaucaire," which comes h.' the Howard Monday and Tuesday. In this picture Valentino upholds his position as the screen's greatest lover. Dealing with the court of King.

Then came serious parts in I ADELPHI "You can't hurt your wife and hold her too. A woman may be facinated by a brute, but she can never res pee t him, and without respect love cannot last. This is the general theme of the picture which is different, "Open All Night," to be shown at the Adelphi theatre, Sunday, October 12, with VioLa Dana and Adolphe Menjou in the main roles. It is not infrequent that a woman must give up the man she loves to another woma-n. But how different it all is when that woman is her own daughter. Ernest Lubitch has created this u~usual situation in "Thre e Women,' which is billed for the Adelphi for Monday and Tuesday. May McAvoy as the wife of fickle husband, (Lew Cody), plays her part with charmirrg sincerity. While Pauline Frederick as the mother and former sweetheart of her daughter's husband has some strong emotional scenes. Mary Prevost figures as a third sweetheart to this mjl.n for women. Jack Holt has become one of the most popular of moving picture idols and continues to hold that place with the parts in his recent pictures of which "Empty Hands" will be shown at .the Aaelphi Wednesday and Thursday. "Foolish Virgins" as a title eems to favor the flapper, but only by seeing Elaine Hammerstien in this film which comes to the Adelphi Friday and Saturday, can one judge: safely.
