"The Fighting American" anteed not to make you think. tended only as a masterpiece of non- sense--just to entertain you, nothing more. Pat O'Malley plays the part of Bill Pendleton, an adventurous college youth, who suddenly finds himself mixed up in a Chinese revolution. On the same program, "Our Gang" will appear in "Derby Days." The feature picture of the Friday per- formances, "Coming Through," gives Thomas Meighan the role of chief clerk in the ofiice of a large steel corporation. His idea of the height of fame is other than that of pen-pushing. He elopes with the president's daugh- ter and is shipped off to Colton by the irate father. Now there are many rough-and-ready mining camps in the company's holdings, but none quite so rough as Colton. Tom is given an un- heard of schedule of production to keep up and his father-in-law fixes things with the foreman so Meighan might not "come through"--a case, as the girl's fa- ther things, of returning evil for evil. But Tom does "come through"--and he does it in what is said to be one of his finest pictures to date. is guar- It is in- Otto Dovidat Ladies' and Men's Tailoring 794 Elm Street Over Vollmann's market.

Clean-Up Forces Make First Raid in Hubbard Woods The environs of the Hubbard Woods station will present a busy scene this afternoon when a score or more of the members of the Hubbard Woods Im- provement association will appear garbed in blue denim and armed with rakes, hoes and spades for the purpose of mak- ing a concerted attack upon the Station Park with a view to transforming that locality into "a thing of beauty and a joy forever". WINNETKA TALK sometime ago in- formed its readers of the plan of the Hubbard Woods Improvement association to institute a general clean-up of the gateway to the north neighborhood. Today finds the members actually at work on the scheme. Under the expert direction of professional gardeners and landscape architec.s the workers will not only "iron out" the rough spots in the park and its environs, but will proceed with the setting out of some thousand shrubs, and the building of new walks. Residents of Hubbard Woods have contributed liberally in time, money and materials in cooperating in the plan to augment the beauty of their neighbor- hood. When the clean-up campaign draws to a close, the north section defies any neighborhood in the north shore to claim a more attractive "village center". Mrs. Sibert Dietz Dies at the Evanston Hospital Mrs. Sibert Dietz, 683 Center street, passed away at the Evans on hospital Wednesday, April 15, following an illness of two weeks duration.
