WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1924 'BEAUCAIRE' IS NEXT FILM HERE Rudolph Valentino Film to Come Next Week "Monsieur Beaucaire," the new Paramount picture which marks the return of Rudolph Valentino to the screen, will come to the Winnetka Community House next Friday and Saturday, November 7-8. The world. and his. .wife--partic- ularly his wife--will see in this simple announcement visions, of a film feast for which their movie appetites have been hungering these many months. It isn't difficult to understand why this photoplay is awaited with such keen expectations. Aside from the tremendous personal popularity of Valentino to whom millions pay trib- ute as the greatest lover of the silver sheet, film fans who have read Booth Tarkington's immortal story, with its romantic, colorful = and spectacular background of the court of King Louis XV: of France, recognize its remarkable pictorial possibilities. It is a.story that thrills the imagination, kindles the emotions, and satisfies that fundamental human desire for love, 'beauty, laughter 'and truth. There is something vital and ap- pealing about the character that Va- lenting portrays--the brave hearted, impetuous Duke, who defies the King of France and goes to England dis- guised as a barber. It is a part that brings into play all those robust dramatic qualities that Valentino pos- sesses and which have mode him one of the most-facinating and compel- ling screen ®stars of to-day. No effort, no expense was spared to make "Monsieur Beaucaire," from an artistic standpoint, "a thing of beau- ty and a joy forever." The gorgeous and historically correct costumes were designed and made in Paris. The glit- ter of gold and silver brocade, . the sparkle of diamonds" and sapphires, the flash of jewelled swords--all the beauty and splendor and brilliancy of the most magnificent court in the world's most romantic period are pic- tured with amazing fidelity. It's his- tory come to life in all its vividness and grandeur! And here's a parting word of sug- gestion, come early if you want to avoid the rush! 2 Seven New Residences Head Building Activity Seven new dwellings are in the building list for construction, accord- ing to the building permits granted at the Village hall this week.

Genesis affirms that all things in heaven and on earth rest back on God; that man is made in the divine likeness, and for fellowship with God; that we are placed here not merely to enjoy the world but to sub- due it; and that for every one who ac- 27) ATE : J 2 73Ll = .
