6 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1922 HOW BATTLE FILMS IN SOLDIER BENEFIT Rainbow Division Men To Sponsor Theatre Program "Illinois Troops Under Fire," is the title of 6,000 feet of actual battle front pictures to be shown at the Woods Theater during the week of May 22 un- der the auspices of the Illinois Chapter of Rainbow Division Veterans. The FORD, NOT HENRY, GETS! $100 FINE-SPEEDING Police Magistrate Daniel M. Mickey dispensed justice with a heavy hand last Saturday afternoon in Wilmette Speeders' court. Glenn S. Ford of Chicago, who drove his «car along Sheridan road in Kenil- worth at a rate of 55 miles an hour, according to motorcyclist Clement Ley, was assessed a fine of $100 and costs. Paul Gustafson of Chicago, came next in order with a fine of $40 and costs for negotiating Sheridan road at an indicated pace of 40 miles an hour. Other speeders who received more United States Army Signal Corps pho- tographers took these scenes in France during ithe engagements of American troops. Each scene is titled with the exact date and location and those who have seen a private showing declare them the most interesting and thrilling. From the fact that foreign enemies may have gained information had they been released during the war, the pictures have been in the war department's laboratories and this engagement will be the first public view. Some of the regiments shown under fire are many of the 33rd Division, namely the 129, 130, 131 and 132, most- ly Cook county boys, although a great many scenes show the Rainbow crowd known as Reilly's Bucks, the 149th. Many well known citizens are photo- graphed in close ups, several being decorated by King George of England. Another interesting view shows boys of the 132 and 123 advancing along "the battle front and the 129th landing in France. See Selves in Action Men who served have never seen themselves in action, hence they can go through their terrible experiences this time with members of their family while seated in comfortable chairs with a substantial their heads instead of packing under heavy marching orders through knee deep mud while a heavy pouring rain is driving against their tired bodies. The strain and strenuous work of army life which could never be told in words is vividly shown in the signal corps history. Two performances a day will be given with an introduction by Corp. R. F. Ingleston who shot most of the films. A fully instructive and interest- ing talk throughout the program should make this the one and only opportunity to obtain the real facts of our part in the late war. - The proceeds of this entertainment will go towards helping the ex-service man, therefore the people who pur- chase tickets are doing a two-fold benefit, obtaining first facts and help- ing a worthy cause.

Editor, Winnetka Weekly Talk: I am submitting to you a reproduc- tion of a water color sketch of the proposed development of a private park between Sheridan road and Lake Michigan, south of Willow street. This arrangement, I can inform you, has been highly endorsed by several Win- netka architects. By virtue of it, sev- eral first class residences would be placed near the road, providing a vista to the lake between the houses flank- ing the parkway. The houses will be restricted from an architectural and cost standpoint and the entire prop- erty landscaped as a unit. I understand misleading rumors this park is to be "cluttered up" with bungalows, or other minor residences. As a matter of fact the property is nearly two acres in extent and the six houses will enjoy an average of nearly twice the lot area required by the present Zoning ordinance. Such a development intended as a home site by the two owners with the balance ultimately occupied by fam- ilies who will join in the community and church life of Winnetka, I am certain, will be a desirable improve- ment along Winnetka's finest show place.

ON BRIEF VACATION M. J. Timberlake, best known to Winnetka as the genial solicitor of Winnetka Talk subscriptions, is spend- ing several days visitig his son, George M. Timberlake, in Centralia, I11. Mr. Timberlake, who resides at 415 Maple avenue, celebrated his eightieth birth- day on May 3. He is a veteran of the Civil war and 'one of the most ac- tive members of the Winnetka coun- cil, Royal Arcanum. Neighborhood Sorrows at Passing of Betty Cazel Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Nash Cazel, 860 Pine street, were shocked to hear of the sudden death of their small daughter, Betty, Thursday evening, May 11. The child, who had been ill but few days, was a favorite in the neighbor- hood of the Cazel home and her un- timely departure caused deep sorrow among the many friends of the family. Services for the child, who was just two years, five months and five days old, were held from the residence at 2:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Bur- ial was at Memorial Park. Betty was an only child in the Cazel household. MORE REASON FOR SMILES Jack Carpenter, termed the smiling substitute clerk at the Winnetka post office, is wearing a permanent grin these days. Reason--he has re- ceived an appointment to a regular clerkship. The Misses Martha and Elizabeth Gemmell have rented their home at 812 Lincoln avenue, and have gone to Lake Hamlin, Mich. for the sum- mer. Mrs. Carl Binder of Chicago, an- nounces the engagement of her daughter, Marie Luise, to Hilmer R. Zimmerman, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Zimmerman, 829 Ash street.
