ks v WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1920 9 DR. FAY-COOPER COLE AT SUNDAY CLUB Noted Lecturer on Philippines to Give Illustrated Talk at the Wilmette Congregational Church Sunday Evening, October 10 Illustrated by nearly one hundred beautiful stereopticon slides showing the wild tribes of the Philippines, the address of Dr. Fay- Cooper Cole of the Field Museum, club next Sunday evening will be one of the events of the season. Miss Gladys Swarthout will sing, Dr. Cole has traveled into the most remote parts of the Philip- pines and the pictures which he will show are made from photographs which he made while on these tours. The Philippines have recently come again quite prominently into the public eye as of current im- portance. Dr. Cole, having spent four years in the islands, in the inferest' of the Field Museum, is an acknowledged authority on this subject. He was able to get in close touch with all classes of the natives and was initiated as a member into one of the most conservative of the country, the people at work and at play, their home life and religious wild tribes. He made in all more than 4,000 pictures showing the ceremonies. \ mm---- at the Wilmette Sunday Evening A Mean Persuader Sheriff" Bright of "Rocky Gulch" is very hard with bad boys, but kind to Little Nell. Sheriff "Bloody Nose" Bright will pack a brace of sure-fire persuaders to keep the "bad boys" from beating the "crooked" games at "Rocky Gulch". He says: "If there's any purifyin' to be done in these parts I'll do it." So when the stage shoves you off at "Rocky Gulch" (Ouilmette Country club) on November 12 and 13, keep your nose clean as "Bloody Nose" do wield a nasty cannon.
