6 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1923 Police Raid Moonshine Joint in North Section Twenty dozen quart bottles of beer, several gallons of liquor, and a com- plete still with all the apparatus and attachments was what Winnetka police seized when they raided the home of John Ostowsky, 1487 Ash- bury avenue, Tuesday afternoon, No- vember 27. Ostowsky was brought before Magi- strate Northrop who placed two charges against him, one, the illegal manufacture of intoxicating liquor, and the other, the sale of intoxicating liquor. Bonds were furnished by the defendant in the amount of $3,000. The hearing will be held today. It is said by the police that although the still was not in actual operation at the time of the raid, a large quan- tity of mash was found in the base- ment and several bottles of liquor were concealed in a bed on the upper floor of the home. The police de- stroyed a large quantity of the manu- factured product by mixing it with kerosene, and the balance was brought to the station to be retained as evidence.

HOLIDAY SEASON OPENS There is nothing like Thanksgiving Jack Holt Starred in Community House Film For the period, Jack Holt, Paramount star, ap- pears in an popular Peter B. Kyne story,--"*Making a Man," which will at Winnetka Community House, Friday, December 7. Recently he "While Satan Sleeps," in scored a knockout success- "Making a Man" is the story of a wealthy young snob, a tyrant among his employes and neighbors alike, who puts one straw too many on the camel's back, so to speak. His life threatened, he escapes to New York. There he loses the little money and clothing he took in his hurried flight, and finds him- self unable to draw on his credit. Broke, hungry and tired, he meets on a park bench, "Shorty" McCabe, a down-and- outer. From Shorty the man Winsby, played by Mr. Holt, learns the definition of a real man. Of course, there is a girl in the story, this role being done by Eva Novak. Others in the cast in- clude Bert Woodruff, Frank Nelson, Robert Dudley, J. P. Lockney, and Kal- la Pasha. There will be two shows, one at 7:15 and another at 8:45 o'clock: second time within a short adaptation of a be on view was a star of which he Harry J. Sweet Dies; Well Known Winnetkan Harry J.
