LETTS, IR. of Win- netka, a member of the Indian Hill club, has won the woman's west- ern championship for the second time. Mrs. Letts kept the golf championship with the north shore club by defeating Miss Elaine Rosen- thal of .the Ravisloe Country club, in the finals last week at Flossmore. It was Mrs. Letts' second win of the W. A. Alexander trophy, equaling the performance of Mrs. C. L. Der- ing, who-won in 1905 and 1906, and Miss Caroline Painter, who won in 1911 and 1912. Miss Bessie Anthony was the original winner in 1903, when the "Women's Western Golf associa- tion was formed, and was victor in EVANSTON STRAND BILLS GREAT FEATURE PICTURE "The Garden of Allah" to be pre- sented at the Strand theater for a week, beginning September 17, is ac- cepted by critics as the most notable screen achievement yet seen. The story is laid in the oasis of Bena- Mori, in the heart of the great Sa- hara desert. For the production of the play a complete Mohammedan city was built. A veritable kaleido- scope of Oriental life and color with its gigantic mosque, colorful bazaars and market places, its mile long streets, flowing with the endless river of strange beings of the East. The | great mosque scene in this produc- | tion is a life-size replica of the fa- mous Mohammedan temple of Bena- Mori and was reproduced to the mi- nutest detail in architecture, while the famous garden of Count Anteoni, celebrated as one of the show places of the world, is seen in all its radi- ant beauty, with its cascading foun- tains, palm-lined walks, fish pools and gorgeous foliage. It is in this garden one finds the two famous characters .told of in Robert Hitchen's book, There is Larbi, the Arab boy, who is always in love, and the strange minstrel of the sands, who in flowing robes and turban, thrums on his Oriental guitar the song, as old as the desert, "No one but God and I know what is in my heart" W. N. Selig, the pro- ducer, considers "The Garden of Allah" his masterpiece of the silent drama. a = EE The Kaiser's Bonus.
