FET TN ia WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1925 HOLT, MEICHAN ON MOVIE BILLS Outstanding Film Heroes Appear Next Week What are said to be two very ex- ceptional motion picture offerings will be shown at Community House next week when Jack Holt in "Empty Hands", is to be the feature of Tues- day's performance, and Thomas Meig- han, in "Tongues of Flame," at the Friday shows. "Empty Hands" is described as a gripping story of the Canadian wil- derness. It shows how two highly civ- ilized persons are thrown back on their own unaided resources as human beings when they become lost miles from any human habitation. They have to tackle the problem of keep- ing alive, empty handed. With the means of obtaining food and shelter depending on their own ingenuity, they fight out a battle for existence that in the end, not only brings the necessities of life, but a great love. "Tongues of Fiame," from Peter Clark MacFarlane's last novel deals with a conspiracy on the part of a grasping capitalist to swindle a tribe of Indians out of their valuable reser- vation. Tom Meighan has the role of "Hell Fire" Harrington, an easy- going young lawyer, recently returned from the World War, who, at first, as the tool of the capitalist, persuades the Indians to turn over their land, and later, discovering the swindle, fights on the other side. "Mind" to be Christian Science Service Topic "Mind" is announced as the subject for the lesson-sermon at the services of the First Church of Christ, Scien- tist Sunday morning, February 22. Services are held in the Masonic temple building at 708 Elm street at 11 o'clock. Sunday school convenes at 9:45 o'clock and a testimonial meet- ing is held on Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. The reading room at 526 Linden street is open daily except Sunday from noon until 5 o'clock and on Wed- nesday evening from 9 to 9:30 o'clock. LEGION MEETS MONDAY Winnetka Post of the American Legion will hold its regular meeting at head- quarters in Community House Monday evening, February 23." Important mat- ters are to be discussed at the meeting, it 1s announced. Fraternity Association Elects Charles Eastman Charles J. Eastman, 984 Cherry street, was recently elected vice presi- dent of the Interfraternity Associa- tion of Chicago. He is a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. The association, which has as its purpose the stimulation of good fel- lowship among fraternity men in the Middle West, and to make possible the meeting of fraternities for the discussion of mutual plans and problems, counts several members on the north shore among which are L. Milton Coulter, Julian Burnham and Daniel D. Craft of Winnetka, and L. E. Jones of Wilmette. Two Bids Are Received on Schiller Residence Two bids for the Schiller house, at 684 Center street, were received at the village council meeting last Tuesday eve- ning. B. W. Blow bid $700 and A. GC. Erickson bid $1750. The village is selling the house which it was forced to buy along with some land which was needed for the proposed new village service yard. The house structure is in good condi- tion and is being sold to the highest bid- der to be moved off its present site. The members of the council are con- sidering the advisibility of re-advertising the house, as they feel that neither of the bids received approach the real value of the building. "No Lights" Violators Taste Ire of Our Cops Ten arrests were made in the past week in the drive on violations of the parking light rules. Chief Peterson an- nounced last week that any cars parked at night without lights would result in an arrest slip for the driver, and that if the responsible person could not be found or a light placed on the car it would be towed to a garage and the owner would have to pay towing charges in addition to a fine. The chief said that residents were tak- ing more care to leave their cars proper- ly lighted when parking, but that the drive would continue until all violations had ceased. Legion Plans to Stage Big Show This Spring Arrangements are being completed for a great entertainment feature to be staged by Winnetka Post, No. 10, of the American Legion early in April. Howard Hoyt, who was largely in- strumental in preparing the recent Ad- vertising Men's sketch given in con- nection with the Congregational church dinner, has been secured to write and produce the Legion venture. Mr. and Mrs. Victor Elting, 830 Mt. Pleasant road, left Thursday morning for a short trip to New York. eAnnouncing ae Phonograph and Radio in one 1 the Radiola super-heterodyne.
