Tke Village Movie Published Weekly by the VILLAGE THEATRE Co.,Wilmette, III. M. L. SPARR, Editoi Volume 1 Wilmefte, Illinois, August 8, 1914 Number 2 Tlie Impressions of a Visitor A visit to the Village Theatre sev- eral evenings ago was a pleasure, a surprise, and a revelation. When ap- proaching the immediate vicinity, I noticed a great many automobiles lined up in front of the theatre, and counted thirty-seven altogether. The beautiful white building, with large stately marble columns, made a par- ticularly striking appearance and I could hardly believe it was the ex- terior of a moving picture theatre. Upon entering the lobby I was con- scious of an atmosphere of refinement and elegance. Every detail showed evidence of days and days of careful thought and planning, and th'e tone of the decorations and finishings was exquisite. When I entered the auditorium, it seemed that all the finer units had combined to make one harmonious whole. The decorations were carried out in the same tone that prevailed in the lobby, the doors were fitted with high grade bevel mirrors, the , lighting system produced delightful subdued rays, the chairs were thra fin- est, nicely upholstered in leather, and wonderfully comfortable. The venti- lating system was the best, the seat- ing arrangement perfect, the music splendid, and the pictures—well I was absolutely convinced that the repro- ductions on the curtain were the clearest I had ever seen—and I used to be in the business, you know. Pos- itively there was nothing to offend the most fastidious taste, and with the splendid program of pictures it afforded a most delightful entertain- ment. Bar HarLor Society Patronizes tke Movies Bar Harbor, Maine, July 22.—Soci- ety has found a new diversion. Danc- ing and dinners have been discarded for "the movies." Every night a long line of automobiles can be seen in front of the Star Theater. From one of the automobiles last evening step- ped Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Mrs. Wil- liam H. Force, Miss Katherine E. Force and her fiance, Henry Harnick- el. Mr. Harnickel paid 40 cents tor four seats and they passed into the theatre. Governor Morris and J. M. Waterbury, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Stewart and many others, soon did likewise. Last Sunday when Pearl White, who plays the lead in the "Perils of Paul- ine," was driving through Central Park, New York, in a hansom cab, coming down one of the hills the horse stumbled and fell, throwing Miss White out on her head. She suffered from a sprained wrist and was badly lacerated in the arms and face, and was rendered unconscious tor some time. An ambulance driver wished to remove her to the hospital, but as soon as she revived, she continued her drive.
