4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1925 RESUME TUESDAY FILM AT CENTER Community House Offers Tom Meighan Picture Next Tuesday marks the re-opening of Tuesday motion pictures at the Com- munity House. Thomas Meighan in "Old Home Week" has been selected as the feature picture. Performances will begin at 7:30 and 9 p. m. In briéf, "Old Home Week" deals with the experience of a small town boy, who returns home after having "made good" in New York. At least the townspeople take it for granted that he has been successful inasmuch as his business cards read "President of the Amalgamated Oil Co." The citi- zens hail his arrival with the keenest delight because the town is at that very moment in the midst of an oil boom. At about the time the local "hero" discovers that couple of crooked pro- moters are in back of the oil boom, the inhabitants learn that their native son is in reality a failure and bankrupt. The resultant developments are full of ac- tion and suspense, eventually leading up to a surprise climax and a happy ending. The feature picture at next Friday _ evening's performances at Community House will be "New Toys." An "Our Gang" comedy will complete the bill. "New Toys" is a comedy-drama starr- ing Richard Barthelmess and his wife, Mary Hay. Says one critic, "It's a laugh from start to finish and it's funy enough to make a Sphinx chortle with joy." Local Publicity Man Goes to Coral Gables J. P. Yoder, 585 Lincoln avenue, Winnetka, a nationally known news- paper man and publicity expert, has been appointed publicity director of the Coral Gables organization, of Florida. Coral Gables is a large real estate organization which has devel- oped a city in that state. Mr. Yoder and his family have already left for Florida, where he will make his home.

Last fall he was director of publigity for the Democratic National commit- tee in Chicago. Mat Conrad Plays Fireo and Saves a Taxi-Cab Mat Conrad of the Wersted Motor company proved to be the Lincoln ave- neu hero Tuesday evening when he averted the destruction of a Black and White cab by fire, by making a timely appearance and extinguishing the flames by means of a Pyrene gun. The opportunity for Mat's proving his abil- ity as a fireman occurred when the cab's tank was being filled in front of the Black and White service station.
