WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1924 ga I 'POTASH' FILM IS ON THE WAY Will Be Seen at Community House December 12 Because of the depression in the cloak and suit business in New York, one of the most famous firms has closed its doors temporarily. It is none other than Potash and Perl- mutter. These famous partners, heroes of five different stage plays and a score of short stories, have become movie magnates, and their adventures in that field rre the subject of the new Samuel Goldwyn's production "In Hollywood with Potash and Perl- mutter which will be the feature pic- ture at Community House, Friday, December 12. New "Business" This new field for the business en- deavors of Messrs. Potash and Perl- mutter, or Abe and Mawruss, as they are more familiarly known, is said to provide them with even greater opportunity for a display of their keen wit than was theirs in the cloak and suit industry. The cast of "In Holly- wood with Potash and Perlmutter" consists of George Sidney, Alexander Carr, Betty Blythe, and Vera Gordon and other favorites. : Hero-less Film Can you imagine a motion picture without a hero--or a "heavy?" "Vanity Fair" has none. You may remember that Thackeray's own sub- title for the book was "A novel with- out a hero" Hugo Ballin gave a literal transcript of the volume in his screen adaptation. This does not mean, however, that the men in the pictures are lacking in heroic potentialities. With Harrison Ford and Earle Foxe in the east this could hardly be the case. . There is no typically "heavy" char- acter. Thackeray's keen insight into human nature enabled him to show the good and the bad tendencies in the same person. Whether you love Becky Sharp, interpreted by Mabel Ballin, or frown upon her; whether you like best George Osborne, Rawdon Craw- ley or the faithful Dobbin, will depend entirely upon your own individuality. No choice will be forced upon you. "Vanity Fair" will be the attraction at the Community House, Tuesday, December 9. TOUGH SEASON FOR CAGE SQUAD New Trier Basket Ball Five : Revamped New Trier basket-shooters will start a whirlwind season Saturday, Decem- ber 6, when they take on the Lake View quintets at the New Trier gym- nasium. There will be four games, two heavyweight and two in the light- weight classification. Physical Director W. IL. Childs of New Trier says that with the changed schedule, which has been practically completed this week, his boys face one of the stiffest programs in the league. He holds little hope for the highest honors this year because of the lack of material for the heavy- weight teams. This will force him to seek material among the lightweight players with the result that the squad will probably not present as formid- able a front as in recent years. Following is the new schedule of games : Dec. 6--Lake View at New Trier, two heavyweight, two lightweight games. Dec. 12--Senn at New Trier, two games. Dec. 20--Austin at New Trier, two games. Dec. 27--Hyde Park at New Trier, four games. Dec. 29--New Trier at Rockford. Jan. 3--Lane at New Trier, four games. (Indefinite.) Jan. 9--Proviso at New Trier. Jan. 16--~Waukegan at New Trier. Jan. 17--New Trier at Oak Park. Jan 23--Morton at New Trier Jan. 24--New Trier at Evanston. Jan. 31--Rockford at New Trier. Feb. 6--New Trier at Proviso. Feb. 7--Oak Park at New Trier. Feb. 13--New Trier at Waukegan. Feb, 20--~New Trier at Morton. Feb. 21--Evanston at New Trier. Feb. 27--New Trier vs. champions of Section B of the Suburban league. March 5-6-7--District tournament. March 12-13-14--Sectional tournament. BUNCO PARTY The Friendship circle of Winnetka will give a Bunco party at the Win- netka Community House Tuesday evening, December 9, at 8:30. The party is open to the public, and prizes will be awarded. The annual damage to Chicago by smoke is figured at $20,000,000 per year. General use of gas would eliminate much of this waste, engi- neers say. Social Happenings The Glencoe Garden club has re- ceived a communication from the Out- door Nature club of Houston, Texas, sent to the lovers of America's out- doors urging that the public be made cognizant of 'the fact that the holly tree, well known universally and well loved, is rapidly nearing extinction, and that if the use of its branches be persisted in, it will be only a matter of two or three years before is is completely destroyed. Those who wish to save it for all time are arged to discontinue its use as a Christmas decoration. To quote from the appeal: "Everyone, every- where, must be made to join in an immediate decision; shall it be life or death for our beautiful, symbolic hol- ly tree? Not one clear-thinking American citizen would wish to see it gone forever. Yet it is almost gone now, simply because those who love it do not realize it cannot survive the annual attacks made upon it at Christmas time. We must let the pub- lic know the true state of affairs." --C-- In addition to the broadcasting of the fascinating story fo "Racketty-Packetty House" during Skeezix Hour from the Chicago Tribune station, WGN, this af- ternoon, Mrs. R. H. Schmidt is telling the story this morning at Children's Hour from 10 to 11 o'clock at Lord's store in Evanston.

Country Day Journalist Attends Press Meeting Edmund Hoskin, editor of the "Pur- ple and White" of the North Shore Country Day school, recently returned from the State Convention of the Illi- nois State High School Press associ- ation, held at the University of Illi- nois, spoke at the school assembly Thursday morning concerning the con- vention at Champaign. High School newspapers all over the state, including six large Chicago pub- lications, were represented. The purpose of the convention, said Edmund Hoskin, was to seek improve- ment in the articles in high school papers and to help school papers to be more like real newspapers. Besides conferences, there were several talks by such well known men as Prof. Scott of the University of Illinois School of Journalism and Prof. Har- rington of Medill school. The electricity companies of the United States produce more electricity than is generated in all of the rest of the world combined.
