"True Heaven" Comes to Community House Tuesday "True Heaven," with Lois Moran and George O'Brien, will be presented at the Community House in Winnetka Tuesday, June 4. Once again the W odd war furnishes the background for a motion picture. This · one, which is presented in sound, tells the story of the love of a feminine German syp and an American soldier who is sent behind the German lines to get importa·n t information. The girl, placing country above love, betrays him. He is about to be shot when news comes of the Armistice. The lovers are reunited. "A real mystery story made into a real mystery movie" was the comment of a leading critic on "The .Canary Murder Case," to be shown at the Community House Friday, June 7. It is from a novel by S. S. Van Dine. The same critic remarks that "those who liked the novel can't help likin{.T the picture." William Powell comes in for special praise for his portrayal of the super-detective. Louise Brooks plays "The Canary" and James Hall the son of a prominent citizen . who has an important part in the plot. When audiences here view the Fox Movietone, "The Ghost Talks," which comes to the Teatro del Lago this Saturday, June 1, they will see a hero of an all-dialogue picture who is an interesting paradox. He is Charles Eaton, a youthful Broadway star and brother of the widely known Mary and Doris Eaton who, for all his thin conventional · veneer of New- York City life, is a plain Huckleberry Finn, 1929 model. And it is his boyishness which accounts for what is said to be an outstanding suecess in portraying the role of a correspondence school detective in "The Ghost Talks." Others in the picture inc1ude Earle Fox, Carmel Meyers and Helen Twelvetrees.
