WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1923 THAT FATHERLY SMILE H. Edwin McNeal Fellow citizens, gaze upon the beam- ing countenance of one H. Edwin Mec- Neal, resident at 925 Elm street. That expansive smile was contract- ed when the nurse stepped into the "anxious" room at the American hos- pital Monday January 8, at 4 a. m. and graciously announced that it was a girl-- seven and one-half bounc- ing.pounds of a girl. At break of day, the Talk staff photographer caught the joy-wreathed visage as its proprietor was purchas- ing numerous fragrant Havanas for the habitues of the justly famed Neal would want everyone to know that, for hasn't he held that appela- tion in reserve for some time along with Douglas, as the case might have been. Strongheart, Wonder Dog to be Seen Here Next Week The successor to one of the best- liked pictures of last season has been booked for the Community House for Jan. 19th. It is "Brawn of the North," a Laurence Trimble-Jane Murfin pro duction starring Strongheart, the won- der dog. who sprang into instant favor in his initial First National Attrac- tion "The Silent Call." "Brawn of the North" tells a thril- ling story wherein Strongheart plays the part of Brawn, a dog owned by Marion Wells, Marion takes him with her when she goes into the North country to aid her brother and fiance to develop a mine. The fiance has exposed himself as a dis- solate rascal and his cruelty to Brawn leads to a fight on the trail in which the brother is killed and the fiance escapes the vengeance of Brawn by apparently drowning in an icy stream. In seeking help, Marion meets Peter Coe. Then follows a period of happiness as they spend a honey- moon in the wilds and fortune crowns their efforts. The wolves of the coun- try drive them back toward -civili- zation and their sled dogs run away carrying their baby with them.
