He is ideally qualified to assume aggressive leadâ€" ership in the reâ€"birth of the Repubâ€" lican party, so urgently in need of youthful idealism. Most significant of all is "Bob‘s" refusal to look upon public office as patronage to be passed f-w to anâ€" other. Here is proof of perâ€" sonal integrity that commands the the social and civic welfare of his city and county. Although he has never been an active politician, his exceptional . insight covering all phases of public interest, has atâ€" tracted the attention of those who know him, with the result that he has literally been drafted into the service of the taxpayers. He is now serving his second term as City (‘mn::i:doner of Highland Parh and made an outstanding reeo for economical administration of the Water Department. In any matter touching the taxpayers‘ money, "Bob" has earned an enâ€" viable record as a "tightâ€"wad."

The high point of the film is, of course, the amazing ‘spectacle which gives the story its climax and its name, but the picture does not deâ€" pend upon this alone for its effectâ€" ivemess. . It has romance, a picturâ€" esque setting, powerful drama, in Aact, every element of great motion picture entertainment. "The Hurriâ€" cane" introduces an important new star in Jon Hall, the handsome young man of the magnificent phyâ€" sique selected over leading Hollyâ€" wood names to play the hero of the story. Dorothy Lamour, who made her screen debut over a year Ago, appears opposite him in a most difficult role. § Ann Sothern and Gene Raymond have a mirthful field day in "She‘s Got Everything," which will be screened on Friday and Saturday at the Alcyon. The picture is erammed with novel situations, and from opening to final fadeâ€"out proves a laugh festival, with gufâ€" faws succeeding ehukcylfi: as the action develops. Par rkus and Billy Gilbert as creditors lend their comedy to the antics of Victor Moore and Helen Broderick. Playing under the baton of Diâ€" retor Harold Finch, the Highland Park high schoolâ€"concert band of some 90 pieces placed in first diâ€" vision in the contest held last Friâ€" day at Maywood. Proviso also was classified in the first division which means that both of these bands will enter the finals for Class A schools to be held in Urbana the last week in April. "Hurricane" to Be at Alcyon Theatre The Highland Park group opened their concert with Olivadotte‘s Naâ€" tional Victors March, followed by the required number, "Prince Igor," by Borodine and Wotan‘s "Fareâ€" well" and the "Fire Charm Music" from Wagner‘s Die Walkure Suite. In the solo events which were held Saturday Aft Pier on clarinet, Julius Laegler on alto clarinet, Les Rankin on tenor saxophone, and Jerry Baum on French horn won the right to compete in the state finals. Newton Hoffman went his band teamâ€"mates one better when he placed in first division in both the piano and oboe solo contests. The Woodwind Trio composed of Audrey Prindle on flute, Jeannette Bryant on oboe and Enid Ball on clarinet placed in first division as did the French horn quartet made up of Jerry Baum, Kenneth Borgeâ€" son, Juel Stryker and Miriam Wichâ€" man. The high school band and orchesâ€" tra enter these state contests in alternate years. Two years ago Mr. Finch led his group to first division in the finals at Urbana. This year he hopes to duplicate that honor and hopes, perhaps, to be qualified for the national contest by the judges.
