The Vitaphon?r acts with this picture will be George Dewey Wash- inmon and a musical sketch entitled "Visinm of Spain." _ The Alcynn continues to hold to its policy of presenting nunc but the best pictures. " is a great credit m this (health the only "sound" theatre on the North Shore, that it can so con- tinuously present programs of the greatest entertainment value. Abandon Lake Park At Board Meeting Thursday Night At a meeting of the East Park board held but Thursday evening, the ordinance creating Lake Park was repealed. tt was felt that the major- ity of the people of Ravinia were against the proposition, as was shown at a recent mass meeting. The board Was anxious to create a park on the beautiful wooded bluff south of Roger Williams avenue, the property and improvement to have been paid for by special assessment. A vote was taken at the mass meeting mentioned and the result showed conclusively that the residents of Ravinia were against it, nithough it was considered by many as an ideal location far a park, being on fast disappearing lake frontage. " is thought by those who spun- sond the movement that its aban- donmem is a serioiis mistake, became in I very short time there will be'no hike front property available for park purposes, but as the sentiment seemed against it, the park board considered it their duty to repeal the ordinance. "Women They Talk About" and "Show Folks" Among Attractions Two talking pictures and one done wonderfully in sound. all three of which have been rated as among the leaders for the mouth, feature the program of the Alcyon theatre this week. On Friday and Saturday the Alcyon presents the great talking pie- ture "Women They Talk About" sup- plemented by a tine program of Vita- phone acts including Watts & Gil- bert, Adele Rowland, The Russian Cossacks. and an Our Gang Comedy done in sound. On Sunday and Monday the Alcyon orers the "sound" version of Victor Hugo's "The Man Who Laughs" star- ring Conrad Veidt. Mary Phitbin and Bacianova. This picture will be no companied by another sterling pro- gram of Vitaphone acts consisting of the Ehrnant Bros., Joe Browning and Hazel Green and band.

Ritrtmrood, Hand“ (”in I brief ill.- at , We are informed that the State has [made a survey of the' proposed route No. Tr, paralleling the Skokie Valley "ine " the‘North Shore Electric to 'the.vastward, and is now ready to apave it with State funds as soon as [the City of Highland Park provides' Lot right of way. Further, we have , received the information that only two Fi three pieces of property now re, ':main to be acquired for this proposed [route No. " throughout Highland Park. These no doubt could be ac- quired during the winter months when no paving can be done anywhere. and the State then could go ahead with the raving of route No. 57 early in 1929. If this procedure is follywe‘d. 1th"? will be two through maul: for Who use of the public until No. 57 it 1i'o"i,,',Cieii', whereas if Green Bay road is paved tirst, there will only be one through route in Highltnd Purl: dur- ing the period of construction, and much cortttestion and confusion will naturally result The natural order of procedure, therefore, would be to pave Nazis? first and then Green Bay road. for in that way when Green Bay road is closed to trnMe the public 2?,1 hqve the we of Sheridan road and No. 57. OPEN LETTER TO PUBLIC A petition sighed by approximately 90 per cent at the resident owners of pruperty bordering on the proposed. improvement, Ind a large percentage of non-resident owners, agreeing to tho proposed 'new paving on Green my Road providing slid Green Bar Road be legally designated a troute, vard from Central avenue on the north to the County line rend on the south. and providing further, of course. that the cost of the proposed improvement Wipread in an equitable manner. has been tiled with the City Council. In fact, ttpproximately 90 per cent of I]! resident propdrtsiGis ers from Central avenue on the north to the County line rond on the south have joined in this petition, urging establishment of Green Bay road Is a boulevard. Old residents of High- land Park tell us that the question' of establishing Green Buy road as n boulevard has been discussed for the last fifteen yen-s; but so far no action has been taken. Highland Park Press, Highland Park, Illinois Gentlemen: There seems to be considerable mis- understanding with reference to the attitude of the property owners lac- ing south Green Boy Road, toward the proposed paving project extend- ing from the County line on the south to Edgewood Road on the north. With the desire that our position be fully understood on the part ot every- one, tbiare writing you this open letter.- Explaining the Attitude of Nine- ty Per Cent of the Citizens Living on South Green Evanston., Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka and Glencoe have a bottle- ward west of the railroad as well IS east qf the railroad. In Lake Forest Green Bay road is a boulevard and is known as "Millionaire Road," while up to date in Highland Park Green Bay road has been nothing but a truck road. We cannot think of any reason why Highland Park shdnld lag behind all the other north shore suburbs in providing a second boulevard running north and south. There is another reason why the establishment of Green Bay road as a boulevard would add prestige to the City of Highland Park. Nowhere along the north shore is there as beautiful a iranoramie view as that looking west over the Skokie Vat- ley in traversing Green Bay road throughout parts of Highland Park. If truck trattic were eliminated so that passenger traftic would feel safe, the fame of this beautiful drive would add much to the prestige of the city. That the local chamber of com- merce have recognized the value of this proposed more is evident from the fact that just a short time ago in making a number of recommenda- tions to the City Council they sug- gested that Green Bay road be made a boulevard.» For those wanting just a short drive in the evening. on a holi- day or a Sunday. a tour through the north shore suburbs over Sheridun road, across Central avenue and down .Green Bay road would make a most enchanting one. .
