THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1938 Plans for Dahlia Show in Winnetka The fourth annual dahlia show of the American Gardeners association will be held Saturday and Sunday, September 24 and 25 in Wirinetka Community House gymnasium. With the show only a little more than two weeks away, entries are already coming in for what L. E. Bird, asâ€" sociation secretary, said promises to be the largest show the American Gardeners have ever conducted. This is true in regard to both numbers and varieties of exhibits, as well as in the quality of the blossoms, he Being Completed With the view always in mind of improving the show, floor plans are changed from year to year, and the association leaders assert that those who visit the exhibit this year, will witness the most artistic arrangeâ€" ment that has yet been designed. There will again be 18 classes, of which 8 are for specimen blooms and seedlings and ten for arrangeâ€" ments. Included in the specimen group will be two classes for amaâ€" teurs and for children under 15 years of age. Several valuable entries from Villa Park, Arlington Heights and Ravinia, have been made and all North Shore gardeners, as well as scores of amateur growers, are preâ€" paring for the exhibit. The association will again post eight beautiful silver cups. The Lake Forest Dahlia society is also giving a cup this year and there is to be a special award medal by the Central States Dahlia society. There will be scores of first, second and third ribbon prizes. The specimen classes will again be judged by officers of the Central State Dahlia society. Those who will serve this year are: H. J. O‘â€" Brien, of River Forest, and B. B. Melgard, of Chicago.

It is delightful comedy, not so frothy that it isn‘t warmly, touchingly huâ€" man at times, and yet so gay that the spectator has never a let down of spirits. One of Hollywood‘s bestâ€"liked to-1 mantic ‘teams, Dorothy Lamour and Ray Milland, joins forces with an equally famous comedy pair, Bob Burns and Martha Raye, to bring to the screen a new kind of musical romance in "Tropic Holiday," which will be shown Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Set to the rhythm of clicking castanets and merry maâ€" rimbas, "Tropic Holiday" is the disâ€" turbing adventure of a restless young Hollywood writer in unspoiled rural Mexico. Hollywoogl, which has searched the world over for novel and interâ€" esting motion picture backgrounds, brings a new setting to the screen in "Port of Seven Seas," coming to the Deerpath Thursday and Friday, for this picture has the colorful and unusual French seaport of Marâ€" seilles as its locale. Wallace Beery, in a role arrestingly different from his more recent "bad man" porâ€" trayals, stars in the new drama as the rough but tenderâ€"hearted owner of a waterâ€"front cafe and the disâ€" tinguished supporting cast features the inimitable Frank Morgan, Mauâ€" reen O‘Sullivan, John Beal, Jessie Ralph, and Cora Witherspoon. Local Athlete to Answer Grid Call at I.S.C. Sept. 10 Walter Stuenkel of Highland Park is making preparations this week to return to Iowa State colâ€" lege Sept. 10 for the opening of the fall gridiron training season, in reâ€" sponse to a uest from Coach "Smiling" Jim%r of the Cyâ€" clones. Stuenkel will be one of 41 squad members reporting. Last year he won his freshman numeral in footâ€" ball at Iowa State, playing tackle. This year he will probably see plenty of action in the Cyclones‘ tough 9 game schedule. Iowa State will play the followâ€" ing opponents: Sept. 23, Denver at Colorado. Oct: 1, Luther at Ames. Oct. 8, Nebraska at Lincoln. Oct. 15, Missouri at Columbia. Oct. 22, Kansas at Ames. Oct. 29, Marquette at Milwaukee. Nov. 5, Drake at Ames.

CATTON International Air Thrill Circus and Races, September 11 All roads lead to Lansing Airport, 190th street and Burnham avenue, Sunday, Sept. 11, with the Internaâ€" tional Air Thrill Cireus and Air Races as the lure for crowds exâ€" pected to total close to 100,000. The advance sale indicates that spectaâ€" tors will converge upon the scene of the big spectacle from within a radious of 125 miles of Chicago to the north, south and west. ‘The show is a presentation ol‘ Steve O‘Connor and Ben Orloff, who have engaged Capt. Art Davis, America‘s premier test pilot, to diâ€" rect the sky performers in feats of daring such as have never before been seen in the United States. a Over the weekend, O‘Connor was in conferenc‘ with Capt. Davis at the National Air Races in Cleveland to sign up speed demons and perâ€" fect the time schedule of events for the classic at Lansing Airport. Both of them and the daredevils who will electrify the throngs Sunday have returned to the scene of the Interâ€" national Air Cireus and Air Races and are supervising final rehearsals. Capt. Davis and two of his "stunters" will make the populace Airâ€"Thrillâ€"Circus conscious in a large way this week through the medium of skyâ€"writing. Assisting him will be ....corge Starr and Charles Zmuda. Incidentally, Zmuda and Starr will cooperate in one of the sensations at the circus, wherein they will change parachutes while catapulting toward the earth. Zmuda, noted Polish aviator, is America‘s only liâ€" censed "bat wing" man. It will be Capt. Davis and Carl Hartley in the "Kiss of Death", which is as skillful as it is hazardâ€" ous, since it calls for two planes to touch wings in such manner that a small hook of one plane removes a handkerchief from a wing of anâ€" other. Another among the stars in the Art Davis galaxy of luminaries who know not the meaning of fear is Lenard Witt.
