WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1925 -- SHOW 'SUNDOWN' AT COM. HOUSE "Manhattan" also Billed for Next Week The passing of the Old West, the cattle barons, and the tremendous herds of cattle which roamed the plains, has been immortalized in "Sundown", which is to be the feature picture at Community House next Friday and Saturday. "Sundown" depicts the story of a van- ishing people--the American cattleman-- forced to leave the land they had con- quered by incoming homesteaders who have been apportioned small sections of the great ranches. It tells how the cattlemen banded together their enorm- ous herds and trailed them across the deserts and mountains, across the Mexi- can border, to once again pioneer a new land where their cattle may graze. A beautiful love story is interwoven with this theme. The cast of "Sundown" includes Bessie Love, Hobart Bosworth, Roy Stewart, Charlie Murray. All who enjoy real fast-moving action drama will be right in their glory when Richard Dix's first starring picture, "Manhattan", * comes to Community House Tuesday, February 3. The star has the role of Peter Minuit whose great-great-great-grandfather pur- chased the island of Manhattan from the Indians and Peter is all for giving it back to them. "There might be some life in the old town then," says he. You take it from this that Minuit is slightly bored with life. He. is just that--a millionaire bachelor who has everything in life except that which he craves most--action, adventure, a defin- ite object, something to live for, to strive to be worthy of. He finds action-plus in New York's Hell's Kitchen and a definite object in the beautiful sister of a youngful yegg whom he befriends. HUGO VONHOFSTEN HAS EXHIBIT IN CHICAGO Hugo O. vonHofsten, 773 Prospect avenue, well known Winnetka artist, whose work has been officially recognized by King Gustav of Sweden, has the ex- hibition walls of the Swedish club of Chicago hung with a collection of his re- cent paintings. Concerning this valuable collection and Mr. vonHofsten's brilliant career, a Chicago art critic has the following to say : "At the Swedish club this week the exhibition walls are hung with a collec- tion of recent paintings by Hugo von Hofsten, lately returned from two years overseas. The opening reception had the quality of an ovation from the friends of the artist who brought back with him an Order of a Knight of Vasa, be- stowed by the king of Sweden for ser- vices in the fine arts in his native land and in America. "Mr. vonHofsten has painted for the joy of the work many years. While carrying on as an illustrator of books his leisure was given to the landscape and the work of his brush shown in the offices of the county commissioners and in north shore towns had its weight in deciding the purchase of the Skokie forest preserves. The paintings made re- cently have the fluency of the inspiration of fresh material and a delight in pre- senting attractive bits of landscape, town views overseas and notes of local color. "It is by far the best collection that Mr. vonHofsten has shown and one that ngregational urch € 9:30. and Women. 11:00. ies. Anthems, Divine", My Soul", Children's age).
