Mrs. Frederick Dickinson will be glad to hear from anyone interested in the of the Civics and Philanthropy com- introduced Mr. Bridges, who spoke on "British Labor Parties." It is impossible to imagine a more lucid and convincing speaker speaker than Mr. Bridges, or a talk { in which a greater amount of in- formation could be so compre- hensively presented in such a limited time. The few words which Mr. Bridges spoke on the Irish question, in answer to a question from the floor, were an address in themselves. It may interest those who were un- able to be present and who are in- terested in the subject of Mr. Bridges' lecture to know that he recommends very highly Arthur Gleason's book, "What the Workers Want," as an excellent treatise on the labor question in England.

The hostesses for this meeting were Mrs. Charles A. Aldrich, Mrs. Wallace H. Beals Mrs. James O. Ely, and Mrs. Albert M. Scharf. Horace J. | OMER LOCKLEAR'S LAST FILM AT COMMUNITY HOUSE Death-Defying Airman Appears in Picture Which Caused His Death; Serial Continues ' A true American gentleman, a daredevil who knew the meaning of danger but did not fear it a fine man fusing 'fine' in its best sense." That is how Louise Lovely, the William Fox star, describes Lt. Or- mer Locklear whose fellow-player she was in 'The Skywayman," the great drama of the air which is com- ing to the Community House next Friday evening. ; / Of course, Locklear himself is re- sponsible for most of the thrills in "The Skywayman" but Miss Lovely has quite a large share of them, too. "When I became a motion picture actress," she said, "I did not dream that going up in an airplane would be part of my job. I had taken short flights as a passenger before we be- gan work on 'The Skymayman,' but in this picture I found new flying thrills. However, I am no flying wo- man, and I shall always prefer to do my acting as near the ground as possible." ceries.
