The Village Movie Published Weekly by the VILLAGE THEATRE COMPANY, Wilmette, Ill. M. L. SPARR, Editor For Advertising Space apply to THE PRINTING STUDIO, Wilmette, Ill. Volume 1:Number 27 Wilmette, Illinois, January 30, 1915 Special Feature at the Wilmette Theatre Anita Stewart, Earle Williams, Julia Swayne Gordon and Harry Northrup in a Broadway Star Feature "Two Women" Thursday afternoon and evening, February 4th The particularly excellent character portrayals and the exceptionally fine scenes in this picture make it a most attractive and interesting film. Earle Williams gives a convincing portrayal of Emerson, Julia Swayne Gordon makes a beseechingly pathetic wife, Harry Northrup as Lawlor, Emerson's employer, presents a strong impersonation, and Anita Stewart plays the part of the girl of the woodlands. The story is absorbing all the way through, and the scenes offer the same strong contrast that the characters do, that is, the beautiful wild, uncultivated mountain land, and the staid city homes and offices. The photography is excellent throughout and the picture's unconventionality, its charm and pathos, its fine acting and direction unite to make it one that is rare and that you will surely want to see. Have you seen the "Sue" pictures in the Chicago Herald Movies at the Wilmette every Wednesday night? There are lots of Chicago girls being shown in these "Sue" pictures, and perhaps you may see some of your friends. Special Features at the Village Theatre Carlyle Blackwell in "The Man Who Could Not Lose" Monday, February 1st In the screen adaptation of this well known novel by Richard Harding Davis, all the charm of the original story has been preserved and Carlyle Blackwell's excellent impersonation of the young writer and hero, Champneys Carter, has made the character intensely alive and interesting. The part seems to have been created for Blackwell, so well does he portray Carter's ready wit, good nature, and strong personality. Ruth Hartman makes an ideal "Dolly" and a most charming heroine: Gipsie Abbott is the beautiful sister; William Burton the Count; and James J. Sheehan as the Rev. Orlando Stone splendidly utilizes many chances to create laughter. This picture teems with interest; the race track scenes are very realistic; some exceptionally gorgeous scenes have been filmed; and throughout, the picture attains a high degree of photographic perfection. It is a Carlyle B1ackwe11 picture. made under his personal direction, and after seeing his picture, "The Last Chapter," we believe you will not want to miss the opportunity to see him in "The Man Who Could Not Lose."
