WIN or me mR -- The Timely Record Of Community Events WT err A SA i NETKA WEEKLY TALK VOL. X, NO. 29. WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1921 TWELVE PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS GEORGE ARLISS IN "DISRAELI" COMING Winnetka Motion Picture Devotees to be Afforded Opportunity to View One of Season's Greatest Films COMES DIRECT FROM LOOP Great Drama of English Political Life and Story of Noted Leader Well Portrayed Announcement was made today by Community House Motion Pictures, the management of the Winnetka that George Arliss in "Disraeli", the screen version of his greatest stage success, is to be the big special attraction on Friday and Saturday, October 7 and 8. "Disraeli", fresh from its extended run at Orchestra Hall, Chicago, is one of the season's greatest productions and this an- nouncement will undoubtedly be greatly appreciated by motion pic- ture "fans" of every class. Replete with Romance "Disraeli" is based on the life of the Hon. Benjamin Disraeli, M. P., twice appointed by Queen Victoria to be her Prime Minister. The facts are woven into a romance in such a clev- er way that Louis N. Parker, the playwright, certainly shares in the praises lavished on Mr. Arliss for the latter's masterly presentation of this famous English statesman. There are two love stories in the play; the one illustrating Mr. Disraeli's great af- fection for his wife, lady Beacons- field, and the other the charming love story of Charles, Viscount Deeford and Clarissa, daughter of the Duke of Glastonbury. Stellar Cast Louise Huff. the beautiful south- ern girl, who for years has been es- tablished in the affections of millions of "fans", returns to the screen in "Disraeli" after a year's vacation. Besides Miss Huff in the cast of this picture are Mrs. George Arliss, Mar- gret Dale, Grace Griswold, Henry Carville and Reginald Denny. There will be two showings of this film at Community House each night; however, there will be no matinee. Legion Names State Conclave Delegates Col. Henry J.

De Santo, whose rcgular job is pumping gates at a Wilmette crossing of the Northwesteiu railroad, has a inde line, which while perhaps not the most lucrative. hold thrills galore. De Santo recently purchased a mo- tro-driven "rubberneck" vehicle, en- closed and everything, which he utilizes to haul north shore folk to the golfing places west of New Trier. Tuesday morning he passed through the Willow street viaduct and at 'tother end met up violently with an ice wagon driven by one Lawrence Ko- cerzowski, of Hubbard Woods. The "tongue" of the icewagon knocked de Santo loose from his chauffeur's seat and into the center of the highway from where he picked himself up and fled post-haste. A lone passenger, Miss Emma Peters, 1501 Washington avenue, Wil- mette, ran mn the opposite direction. The iceman called the police who towed the ill-fated sight-seeing con- veyance to the Village hall grounds. Two weeks ago de Santo was assess- ed $10 and costs for failing to stop his rig upon entering an Kvanston boulevard. The discerning Evanston coppers also discovered the gate- pumper was operating without a chauffeur's license. Watch the ads, its possible there'll be a "rubberneck" for sale, cheap. | Kate Kelly Do Possess Some Descriptive Pen You've probably seen this dog.
