Village Movie Published Weekly by the VILLAGE THEATRE COMPANY, Wilmette. III. M. L. SPARR, editor Volume 1 Wilmette, Illinois, October 3, 1914 Number 10 Paramount Pictures As announced last week, beginning with Monday, October 12th, the Paramount Pictures will be shown at the Village Theatre four evenings a week. The contract is signed, and the films will be on hand as announced. There is nothing better to be procured in the film market. You wanted the best, we wanted the best, so we have secured the best. The first of these Paramount Pictures will be shown on Monclav and Tuesday. October 12th and 13th—"The Lost Paradise" with H. B. Warner as the star. Mr. Warner gives fine poise to the difficult role of the idealizing', yet energetic foreman, and Miss Caroline Carter who plays opposite him, invests the luxury-loving-, but high-minded daughter with enough plausibility to overcome this seeming contradiction in her character. The mill scenes in the "Lost Paradise" are quite remarkable. No such factory scenes were ever produced on the stage, because they were made in sure-enough mills while the work was going on, and even though photographs they are real, while the stage factory must necessarily be make-believe. A brief synopsis of the play will be given in next week's Village Movie—Watch for it. But this realism is one of the big characteristics of the Paramount Pictures. They will take you into wonderful scenes all over the world, into every station of life, into political, commercial, diplomatic, domestic, religious problems. Great theatrical stars will tell the stories by their acting only. The acting, when accom- panied by the proper reading of their lines, has made them famous the world over—but how much more expression and emotion they must por- tray to get the story "across" without the words' They do it as only real artists, of years and years of experience, could do it. Don't miss one of these Paramount Pictures. Have the whole family go. and especially the children. It will afford them the cleanest possible entertainment, and give them many instructive and educational features. And tell all of your friends about the Paramount Pictures. Exceptional Water Scenes Did you see the third installment of the "Trey 0' Hearts," last Saturday at the Wilmette? It was good, and the firing and burning of the ship at sea, and the escape of Law and Barcus made the situation tense enough for a while, but it may interest you to know that this third installment is considered the poorest of all the series. The producers say that the fourth installment—to be shown at the Wilmette Theatre Saturday, October 3rd, amply makes up for what the third lacked. In the Fourth installment, water is again the scene of action, and the spectacle provided is one that the public has probably never seen before, and it is safe to say, will probably never see again. The scene shows a large sailing vessel colliding with another. Two large sailing boats were bought especially for making the scene, at considerable cost, and after the water had been cleared of the "innocent bystander" the police interfered, and it was only after much persuasion that they allowed the picture to be taken. It is the most realistic collision ever seen, and the trouble it caused the producer and the company was plentiful. See it tonight, and every Saturday, at the Wilmette.
