VAUDEVILLE AND MOVIE REVIEW By Dave Peyton The Grand The summer policy in vogue at this house is just what the doctor called for. The opening on Friday night was well attended and the Saturday and Sunday business was away above par. The bill for present week, beginning on next Friday night, is made up of an all colored star, Vaudeville Bill, and every week a brand new show will be offered. The Avenue “The Love Bandit” drew large houses, and done much toward en couraging the famous players. It is B struggle for them under present eco nomic conditions, and it is imperative that the Chicago public give drama its full support. The sins of society is the presentation for this week. The Monogram Captain Mae Kemp and her versatile company of 10 people are delivering the goods here for the week. Miss Kemp is an accomplished performer and producer, and knows just what to offer the public. "BEYOND THE ROCKS" Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wed nesday, June 4, 5, 6 and 7 (4 days;. Super-Special attraction. A flaming romance as only the author of "Three Weeks” could write it; as only Glorious Gloria, with dashing Rodolph Valen tino playing the lover, could make it live in all its ardent splendor. A ro mantic drama of passionate young love struggling against convention—of gay nights of revelry in the Paris world of fashion—of tingling adventures on the snow-clad crags of the Alps—of in trigue and coquetry in the gilded re sorts of London’s high society. Never before have such lavish settings, such dramatic love scenes, such spectacular adventure been seen upon the screen. The love-drama with all the thrills and luxury of a life time. Don't miss the show. ‘WHEN ROMANCE RIDES' At the Vendome Theatre, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 1, 2, and 3, Zane Grey’s “When Romance Rides,” adapted from the novel “Wildfire." One of her father’s horses stolen, an other “doped,” yet she was winning the great race for him—winning with “Wildfire” putting forth every atom of his energy—“Wildfire,” creature of the forest and plains. ot ms energy— wiianre, creature ot H the forest and plains.
