MATINEES When you s~e "Les Miserables," "Quality Street," "Feel My Pulse," and "The Noose" lined up all on one week's program you can figure that you can take in the movies most any night in that week and see a good show. Of course, there are certain photoplavs ~ that you'll desire to see more than others-that's human natur:.e. But the bill for next week at Teatro is worth looking at anc:l you can't go wrong. About the "Sunset Legion," I can't say anything because I don't know anything about it. The title sounds interesting and a lot like a Zane Grey -but that's pure guess work. See "The Noose" by all means. It is a heavy drama and in the crescendo of rising action there is not a let up. Dick Barthelmess is superb as the nameless waif. It is beautifully directed, strongly cast and has a superb plot. What more is needed? "Les Miserables" is okay and don't M. let anyone tell you different. Gabriel Gabrio in the role of Jean Valjean makes "Les Miserables." Outf side of ·the child, Cossette, (Mlle. Andree Rolane) the other characters are comparatively meuiocre but in the French setting5 and French photography they are rather effective; Y ou'Jl live the character of Jean Valjean. "Feel My Pulse" is a Bebe Daniels comedy and offers plenty of fun.

Peers, Ann Dere, Lew Welsh · and George Pembroke, five of the best actors and actresses that you will find in any stock company in the country. The best of stock is usually a sorry third cousin to the long time run but that doesn't seem to hold true in Evanston. It isn't the so-called leatling men and leading women that have made the Evanston Players a consistently good organization. It's the support, the members of the company who have, on paper, secondary positions. Ann Dere and Lew Welsh have been with us the longest of all of the five and have never gone back on their audiences and given anything less than a good performance-which sure· ly cannot ·be said for any of the headliners that have come and gone. Richard Ward and George Pembroke prove their ability nightly, sometime1i in difficult parts, sometimes in more congenial characterizations. They are versatile and they never foozle. The play this week is a comedy drama with Welsh in the chief comedy part, a rustic station master-constablenotary-general factotum named TruWallace James is the Varsity thea- man Buckmaster. Welsh is in his role .ter's new manager.

They will start at 4, 6, 8 and 10 o'clock. In regard to the photoplay, "Ben Hur," nothing need be said. It speaks 1 for itself and if anyone misses it he should sink down and weep lingering tears. ·'Almost Human." a Clara Beranger story with Vera Reynolds a'S the star, is the bill for next Tuesday. It is based largely on "The Bar Sinister." The theme is dual, dealing with two humans and two dogs. Novel and entertaining. In "Quality Street" you find Marian Davies a real delight in Sir James Barrie's splendid romance. You'll sure like it.
