38 WILMETTE. . LIFE itless; a madcap feared by police and citizenry alike, yet charming and lov:able withal. And the added complication of an impulsive American artist who attempts to remould her sorry scheme of things, with a most surprising result. May 13, 1927 Ihad TeatrO del La go Sheridan Road in ~~~No At the Movies NEW EVANSTON · "Womea Love Diamoacla" Drama may be either in humble surroundings, with the main attraction the poignant story itself-or set in lavish surroundings. /But-when the lavish surroundings are used, the story must be even greater-or the spectacle will overshadow the story. This is the theory on which MetroGoJdwyn-Mayer produced "Women L<>ve Diamonds," the sensational new drama of the Idle Rich, coming Monday to the New Evan·ston theater. The story, ·a terrific expose of modern society, has a dramatic theme so big it alltlost leaves its ·audience breathless. Pauline Starke plays the heroine in the new .Picture, with Owen Moore as the hero. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Lion&l Barrymore have the two next important roles in the unique drama, and others in the cast include Cissy Fitzgerald, George Cooper, Gwen Lee, Dorothy Phillips, Carol Wines, and others of equal note. Edmund Goulding, who directed the new story, is also its author. TEATRO DEL LAGO "Don .Ju~n" "Don Juan." to l>e presented on Monday and Tuesday at Teatro del Lago, is one of the season's most brilliant productions. It is meritorious by reason of M.r. John Barrymore's acting. of the good acting by all the players, of the skillful direction and of the lavishness with which it has been produced. One's attention is held tight . from the beginning to the end. In some situations the spectator is thrilled. Such situations are the ones that show the hero (Mr. Barrymore) rescuing the heroine and himself from sure death at the hands of the Borgia, particularly of Lucretia, who had planned to poison the heroine's father so that she might force her to marry one of the Borgia and thus the field for "conquering" the hero might be left all to herself. The heroic feats in those scenes and in others win the spectator's admiration for Mr. Barrymore, as the hero; his marvellous acting naturally helps make those situations more realistic. As a lover Mr Barrymore as the ' · ' legendary Spanish character of Lord Byron's poem has not been excelled on the screen; on can count over one hundred kisses throughout the picture. Estelle Taylor, as Lucretia Borgia, tlu.~ famous poisoner, is very good. Mary Astor is good also as the heroine. Every member of the cast, in fact. has done good work under the skillful di. rection of Mr. Alan Crossland. The story concerns the son (hero) of a Noble Spaniard, who, because he been deceived by his wife, taught the hero never to have faith in women, but only to love them and leave them. The hero grew up a cynic; he spent his wealth, surrounded by l>eautie.;. But in the end he met a girl for whom he felt love because he had found .her diffe.r ent. He even risked his life to save her from the hands of the murderous Borgia, who ruled Rome. Saturday, May 14, "Atta Boy" Sunday, May 15, "Lovers" Monday and Tuesday, May 16 and 17.
