34 WINNETKA TALK December 12, 1925 CRIME, FORUM TOPIC Former Prisoner Who 'Remade" Him- self to Address Chicago Forum De- cember 13; Meets at Apollo Theatre Chicago's crime problem will be dis- cussed from a fresh angle Sunday af- ternoon, December 13, at the Apollo theatre, at the meeting of the Chicago Forum. Louis Victor Eytinge, a prosperous New York business man who served 23 years of his life in prisons for vari- ous offenses, the principal one of which he was proved innocent, and who fought his way out of ill health and | bad habits to a position of leadership in the world of affairs, will speak on crime as he has come to view it out of his unique experience. Citizens interested in developing the causes' and cure of the epidemic of crimes against persons and property in this and other communities will have a opportunity to air their views at the question period which follows Mr. Eytinge's address, Fred A. Moore, executive director of the Forum an- nounced. Mr. Eytinge's "come-back" is one of the most spectacular in history. He served three prison sentences for forgery and swindling which had net- ted him a handsome income. An Arizona jury convited him of murder on circumstantial evidence which was shown to be without foundation and after 16 years imprisonment for that offense Eytinge was pardoned. Be- hind prison walls he made himself a noted advertising specialist, turning out more than a hundred business mag- azine articles, two books on business letters, a magazine in the direct ad- vertising field which he founded, two successful motion picture dramas, and other writings. When his pardon was secured through the efforts of the Associated Adver- tising Clubs of the World and other agencies which came to know the Arizona prisoner through his work, Eyvtinge immediately obtained a $10,000 a year position in New York and made great strides in the business world. Interest in the circumstances that sent men to prison and in the alteration of those circumstances led Mr. Eytinge to give an increasing share of his time to crime and prisons. He has spoken before numerous legislative and civic bodies considering ways to combat crime, and in recent years has become a noted speaker at forums similar to that inaugurated in the Apollo theatre by the representatives of leading civic and welfare organizations who make up the Chicago Forum Council. The Forum has the endorsement and active support of many north shore residents. Luggage and accessories of leather always have been most acceptable as gifts. iid v0 1 18T LL 28E ST. NEW YORK .
