Fields Comedy at Norshore Theater 1 I ' Are motion pictures of a classical enough nature to stand re-showing? A question that has been asked time and time again in various parts of the country and has been answered both · h as b een tne · d out , ways. \ 'lTh V erever tt however-providing of course the pictures were goo d oncs-t h e attempt has proven popular and in many cases the fil ms have been accorded even greater patronage than in the first showing. Starting next Tuesday, Teatro del Lago will present in quick succe·s sion seven of the favorites of yesterdayall films that were recognized as among the best presented during the past few years. In several of them one recognl'zes sotne of the ft'rst veht'cles used by stars that are billed as high lights at the present time; such actors as John Gilbert, Renee Adoree, Clara Bow and Norma Talmadge. Seen in the list are aJ.so players that have recently practically retired from the screen for various reasons-principally, it is suggested, because they have acquired financial backing enough to retire. . The mere mention of most of these revivals is enough to bring a smile of remembrance to the faces of most of the patrons of the suburban theaters. \Vho doesn't remember Syd Chaplin in the role of the coy old lady from Brazil in "Charlie's Aunt"? "Charlie's Aunt" is to return as the first of the week's pictures; showing on Sunday. The following day, one of Clara Bow's iirst picture s, "Down to the Sea in Ships," will make its second debut. And then for Tuesday, John Gilbert and Mae ~furray in Franz Lebar's "~ferry \Vidow." Norma Talmadge has undoubtedly played the leading role in some of the best pictures ever presented. 44 Smiling Through" was one of the first of these and "Secrets" another. Of the two, "Secrets" is probably the most brilliant. · It is to be presented on \Vednesday. About four years ago, \Villiam Fox presented John Gilbert and Renee Adoree in "Monte Cristo"; a play written by Alexander Dumas nearly a century ago. · In all probability no team of stars were ever nore popular than these h\'o and "Monte Cristo" was given a long run wherever it was presented. It is to be again presented next Friday. Concluding_ the week's program of revivals, Douglas Fairbanks will re·turn in that masterpiece ."~fark of z~rro."

But Lewis Stone ·as Pierre, the Prince of headwaiters, is a real hones~to-goodness fourteen caret hero set 111 a platinum story. . In the dim ··way-back-whens" the blithe young ~1r.

In fact he has already had the weddmg called " null and void," in the parlance of the law. \Yell about twenty years are moved out of the · way for convenience sake and w e see ~f r. Pierre a s the main squeeze in the dining room of the "Ritz ., where he has become famous. rich. ~nd still more lonely. In the due cour5e oi time Pierre discovers lhat he has a son and that said · son has gro\\·n up and· has come down to tht· cit\· to redecorate it. Pierre . decide~ that it's high time to tell his one-time father-in-law that he don't like the wa,· he' s b.ringing up his son, who in th~ meantime has picked up a "wooden shoe., girl-"woodn't shue like to huv me this and woodn't shue like to bu;· me that.': Grandpa Cahle tries to stop the waY things are being did and succeeds in driving Pierre's son hack the "Ritz" for another round. And Pierre goes into action on his own account and manages · to save the boy from the ·had blonde ladv. but Pierre doesn't tell his son aho"ut their relationship to one another_:Pierre is afraid of making him a~hamed of having a waiter for a father. And so on until you finish it. ft i..; nne good play. · I W. C. Field~ comes to the Norshore Theatre next Sunday in his latest farce , "Running Wild.". It bids fair to equal or exceed any of his previous laugh lavishers. Those who saw "So's Your Old ).fan," "It's the Old Army Game" or "The Potters" will need no f urt h er· wor ds · · of 1 · comtc · m pratse 11s ability. Those who didn't may remember htm · 111 · vau devt'II e or t I1e z·teg f c ld Follies. His tiny mustache and ridicu1 k th ld ous ge :·tures are nO\\·n e wor over. The word Fields is synonymous with fun. "Running vVild" sounds funny even when described on paper. Elmer Finch, head oi the Finch family only on his income tax slip, is the hero. Elmer has a hard time getting along. At home, the l[ rs. and her fat son continually nag him; at the office, his boss is never satisfied with his work. No one has a kind word for him except Elizabeth (Mary Brian), his attractive daughter. Briefly that is the opening of the picture and things continue this way until Fields starts running wild. What happens when he suddenly gathers his courage together and decides to be the man of the house will long be remembeled by all that vievv this picture. 11 ! i ' ! i i i ""RoUed .
