WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOV. 27, 1920 THE SEASON'S FILM SENSATION VERA GORDON and GASTON GLASS in the Cosmopolitan Production # HUMORESQUE 7 Fannie Hurst, who is noted for her realistic studies of Jewish life, never struck a more intensely human note than she attained in "Humoresque." This novel has been translated into motion picture form by Cosmopol- itan Production and will be shown at the Winnetka Community House next Friday afternoon and evening. The Kantors are a. poor Jewish family living on tre lower East Side of New York City. The household consists of Abraham Kantor, his wife, and eight children. It is the seventh birthday of Leon, one of the children, and his father plans to take him to a toy shop and buy him a present. Seeking his son, who is playing in the street, Abraham arrives in time to disperse a group of urchins attack- ing Leon and his playmate, Minnie Ginsberg. The latter two are resist- ing the efforts of their attackers to take away from them a dead cat, which they found in a neighboring ash can. 3 Mr. Kantor leads his son away to a toy shop. Leon promptly loses his heart to a violin, which is marked $4. Abraham had counted on spending only a dollar. But Leon will accept nothing but the fiddle and so loud becomes his cries when his father will not buy it that Mr. Kantor jerks him away from the shop. When he tells Mama Kantor the story of Leon's actions, she bursts into sobs of Thanksgiving. Her dream of having a son with a soul for music have been realized. Leon will be a great musician. So, when the rest of the family is at the birth- day dinner, she steals out and buys the fiddle for Leon. Fifteen years later Leon is a recog- nized genius all over the world. He has played before eager audiences in both Europe and America. Abroad he has met Gina Ginsberg again, and she is a beautiful woman. Their child-love blossoms into the love of the man for the woman. Leon returns to New York and gives a concert in New York's big- gest thater at popular prices--for his WINNETKA AVIATOR DOES SOME "PLANE" TALKING 'Captain Fraser Hale, Winnetka army aviator, in charge of an air- plane squadron at Langley Field, was one of the principals in a unique de- monstration, recently, when he, while flying over the course of the Potomac river, toward Hampton Roads, communicated with Secre- taries Daniels and Baker, of Presi- dent Wilson's cabinet, in a demon- stration of the efficiency of the newly-developed telephone operated from airplanes. : ; The cabinet members accompanied about 150 delegates to the Interna- tional Radio Commission down the river to Norfolk on the Mayflower and talked to the aviators flying over the vessel as she steamed down 'stream. Captains Fraser and Walter Law- son of Langley Field were the officers in two fast planes who flew above the Mayflower and held telephonic communication with the men on the vessel several thousand feet below. MRS. PLUMBER DEAD ; The many friends of Mrs. John Dix Plumber were shocked Sunday to hear of the death of the former Winnetka resident at her home in Wilmette. Mrs. Plumber was a victim of pneumonia. Mrs. Plumber died Sunday morning at 1:30 o'clock. Funeral services were held Tuesday, November 23, at Graceland chapel. Members of Winnetka Neighborhood Circles and the W. C. T. U. attended the services. 'wounded A PARAMOUNT ARTCRAFT PICTURE own people. The whole East Side turns out for the performance and Leon is given a huge ovation. It is just at the time of America's en- trance into the war. The excited manager of the theater offers Leon an engagement of fifty nights at $2,000 a performance. But Leon shows him his enlistment card. He is a soldier now. He parts tenderly with his mother and with Gina. Overseas he is severely in the left shoulder. When he is once more in New York, in the hospital, the army doctor tell him that he will never be able to play the violin again. And 'the violin is his all. Discharged from the hospital, he sits at home, morose and silent. Gina comes to him, begging him to marry her. He refuses and brushes her from him roughly--so roughly that she faints in the doorway. Leon rushes forward and takes her in his arms. His father and mother hurry in. While they are bringing Gina to, he suddenly becomes conscious that he has used his supposedly useless left arm. Perhaps he can play again. He timidly takes his violin and, while his loved ones listen anxiously, plays "Humoresque" with the touch of a master.
