"THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1940 stills, and movies, Dr. Watson preâ€" sented a panorama of America from ::cihit. nâ€"-.'.-if-.l:nhizd travel symphonies . Dudley Crafts Watson gave Tuesday night in the high school auditorium. With set to the tune of American music. Although he journeyed 13,000 miles to prepare the substance of his program, the evening covered only 5,000 miles. But it was every inch of it "Yankeedom"â€" perhaps not entirely pureâ€"for as Dr. Watâ€" son pointed out, all about us are the evidences of contributions other lands have made to us. The first "wonder of America" he flashed on the screen was New York, a city less than 250 years old, where everyone is trying to "earn the same dollar in the same spot"â€" hence, the skyscrapers. Fifth aveâ€" nue, where "traffic just doesn‘t move." And of course, the fair. And here we forgot to take notes, the color raged so dynamicâ€"it fairly assailed the eyes. Dr. Watson exâ€" plained, in connection with the New York fair, how the persiphere and trylon form a huge exclamation markâ€"the theme. A few sights picked from his crossâ€"country jaunt include the Uniâ€" versity of Pittsburg, the tallest uniâ€" versity in the world, whose "campus is an elevator shaft"; the skyscraper considered "most perfect", in Columâ€" bus, Ohio, of all places; and candid shots of a "typical Midwestern comâ€" munity," or more commonly known as Highland Park. â€" "Secrets of Dr. Kildare" and "Dancing Coed" will be shown in a double feature program at the Deerâ€" path Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, January 19, 20, 21 ani 22. On into the corn belt, through the Black Hills and the vast West to San Francisco encased in its sevenâ€" teen hills. (Dr. Watson, with a hint of pride in his voice, interpoâ€" lated, "Rome had only seven.") The Golden Gate exposition finished the travelogue, the last scene the fading lights of San Francisco in the dark. The newly organized Highwood Lions Club will hold their regular weekly meeting today (Thursday) at 12 o‘clock at the Pagoda. Plans are under way for the Charter night to be held at the Villa Moderne on Tuesday, January 30. of the "Dr. Kildare" series, with Lew Ayres and Lionel Barrymore heading the cast. The scientific deâ€" tective romance, based on Max Brand‘s popular story, deals with a beautiful girl‘s strange secret terror and the detective work of Ayres, Highland Park, Glencoe and Glenâ€" view clubs as well as the Highwood club will participate and will receive their charters. The committee will be appointed at this meeting for the distribution of tickets. Dr. James Butterworth of Highâ€" land Park Lions club is assisting in making this affair a success, A splendid floor show and a fine orâ€" chestra will be selected by the comâ€" mittee. A special dinner will be prepared by Ben Miller, chef of the Villa Moderne. Victor Benvenuti of the Oak Terrace Beverage company is chairman of the dinner commitâ€" tee. Additional members will be apâ€" pointed at today‘s meeting.

His delight in the fair murals, the faces of Wash Mount Rushmore being done by Gutâ€" zon Borglum, recently a visitor in this city, and the Italian masterâ€" pieces (including "Venus on the Half Shell"â€"his own words) were seen in Chicago a short time ago. A native of Lake Geneva, Wis., but now a Highland Park resident, Dr. Watson went to Chicago schools, the Armour Institute of Technology and the Art Institute. With this background it is not hard to see why one of his "peeves" is the way the "provincial" New Yorker thinks of Chicago, or doesn‘t. . 80 He studied in Madrid and Valenâ€" cia, Spain, Paris, and London, a puâ€" pil of Senor Sorolla and Sir Alâ€" fred East. Since 1924 he has been extension lecturer for the Art Inâ€" stitute, previous to that serving as director of the Milwaukee Art Instiâ€" tute and as a member of the facâ€" ulty and teacher of water color painting at the Art Institute for five years. Among his experiences he counts being art editor of the Milwaukee Journal and dramatic editor of the Milwaukee Free Press. This producer and originator of music picture symphonies has also created pageants, directed annual European art pilgrimages, and been the official art lecturer at the Cenâ€" tury of Progress, the Texas Cenâ€" tennial at Dallas, and the Great Lakes Exposition of Cleveland. At one time also he was heard weekly over WGN as a feature speaker. There have been many motion picâ€" tures in the past about horses but there has never before been one as engrossing, so touching and so inspiring as "Pride of the Blue Grass." For the hero of "Pride of the Blue Grass" is probably the most remarkable horse that ever lived. He is Elmer Gantry, the blind horse which can jump as surely and graceâ€" fully over steeplechase hurdles as any wellâ€"trained hunter with keenâ€" est eyesight. Friday, January 19, there will be an ice carnival for the kindergarâ€" ten, first and second grade pupils of Ravinia schoo}, starting at 2:15 o‘clock. There will be races and prizes for these younger children. There was a quasiâ€"blizzard Tuesâ€" day night. And as Dr. Watson‘s tall form disappeared in the haze of snow after the auditorium was cleared, many that had been in the audience remembered his promise to come back for a series next fall â€"probably on Saturday nights and early in the seasonâ€"the first one about Canada, he said. "Dust Be My Destiny" and "Pride of the Blue Grass" will be shown together in a double feature proâ€" gram at the Deerpath Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, January 23, 24, 25 and 26. Ravinia School Children Participate in Ice Carnival as Dr. Kildare, to trace it down to the plot of a fanatical nurse and a quack doctor. _ _ o s "Dancing Coed" brings Artie Shaw, idol of the jitterbug world, to the screen for the first time in his sensational swing career. "Dust Be My Destiny", with John Garfield and Priscilla Lane, the two outstanding star discoveries of the past season. Based on the novel by Jerome Odlum, author also of "Each Dawn I Die," the new film probes deeply and poignantly into the probâ€" lem of the young "nobodies" of this generation, who wander over the country, seeking jobs and "a place to hang their hats."
