"Grumpy" and "Ruggles" on Week's Movie Program Next week's pictures at Community House promise to be of unusual merit. On Tuesday, March 4, Theodore Rob- erts will be shown .in his greatest characterization, "Grumpy." One foot in the grave--that's what thev said about Grumpy. But when a slick young man steals a valuable diamond from under his nose and then proceeds to steal his grand daughter by giving her the diamond--Watch Grumpy come to life. Friday, March 7, marks the presen- tation of one of the best pictures of the year, "Ruggles of Red Cap." This picture was made from the book of the same name by Harry Leon Wil- son who also wrote "Merton of the Movies," and was directed by James Cruze who made "The Covered Wagon." The story deals with a westerner who visits England and the continent and whose wife is quite a social aspirant. However Mr. Rug- gles find it exceedingly hard to imitate the dukes, etc., and so earns the name of "the funniest chappie you ever saw." Critics praise it, doctors pre- scribe it, grouches enjoy it, everybody loves it--don't miss it. Red Cap isn't on the map of the United States, it has been said, but it's on the movie map as the leading town in the state of laughter. There will be matinees both Tues- day and Friday at 4, and evening per- formances at 7:15 and 9 o'clock. for Women at 9] Facts of Interest to Winnetka Voters Editor's Note: Accompanying is in- formation sent out from headquarters of the Winnetka League of Women Vol- ers calling the attention of the elector- ate of the village to the importance of voting in the forthcoming primary elec- tion. PRIMARY April 8, 1924 Because--it gives Mrs., Miss, and Mr. Voter themselves a chance to share in choosing their parties' nominees. The best candidates of every party can be chosen by voters if good citizens will come out and vote at the Primary. Because--good officials cannot be elect- ed on November 4 unless able men or women have been nominated on April AT THE ELECTION, Because--in many cases the Primaries settle the elections. Where one party is much stronger than the other its nom- inee is sure of election. In 1922 the Pri- maries settled who were to go as rep- resentatives to the General Assembly in 23 of 51 senatorial districts. Because--the woman voter's power in her party can, as yet, be more effectively exercised at the Primaries than in party committees and conventions. Because--1924 is the Citizen's chance to say what he wants done by his party and his government. In 1925 the pub- lic officials we have elected will be re- sponsible for carrying out what we have told them to do. Because--each party on April 8. Expresses its preference for president; Nominates candidates for United States senator and congressmen, governor, lieutenant-governor, secretary of state, auditor of public accounts, treasurer, state senators and represen- tatives, county state's attorney and other officials ; and Elects its party precinct, senatorial and state central committeemen and its delegates to the national party conven- tion. Because--the party's nominees, com- mitteemen and delegates to the national convention chosen on April 8th, write the national and state party platforms. Because--women voters must learn to use to the best possible advantage the methods established by the Election Laws of the State for the nomination of candidates for office. Because--the women of Winnetka are neither careless nor indifferent and must fully realize that there are many im- portant issues which demand their in- telligent attention. Because--only 46% of the women of Illinois voted at the last Presidential for Election and the women of Winnetka must support the Winnetka League in its effort to raise this percentage to 75.
