Jack Mulhall and many prominent screen artists are enrolled with Miss Griffith in placing this delightful story of life in a New York flat upon the "| screen. VILLAGE THEATRE "The Fool," Channing Pollock's great play which ran for more than a year in New York after it had been branded as worthless by some critics, has been put into motion pictures and will be seen next Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday, January 18, 19 and 20, at the Village theatre. "Edmund Lowe plays the part of Dan Gilchrist, the young curate of a fashionable New York church who is "fool" enough to wonder what would happen if every man lived his life as Christ would have lived it.

At the Tuesday after- noon matinee Chapter Nine of the serial "Wild West" will be shown. Jackie Coogan in "Old Clothes," one of his best and most appealing pictures, will be the feature attraction on Thurs. day, Friday and Saturday, January 21, 22 'and 23.

As an additional treat for the children there will be an Our Gang comedy, "Your Own Back Yard" and a Pathe news reel. Although both "The Fool" and "Old Clothes" are special pictures they will be shown at the regular prices, it was announced by J. B. Koppel, manager of the theatre, who explained that this is intended as a mark of appreciation for the patronage of north shore resi- dents during the past year. THE NEW EVANSTON Betty Bronson, star of "Peter Pan", will be seen in another picture made from a story by J. M. Barrie when she comes to the New Evanston be- ginning next Monday in "A Kiss for Cinderella", The transference to the silver sheet of this world-famous Barrie story, which served the beloved Maude Adams as a stage vehicle many years ago, was no easy task, due to its con- trasting elements of fantasy and realism, The fact that the finished product registers as charming, smooth and shining entertainment is a tribute to the expert adaptation of Willis Gold- beck and Townsend Martin, the adroit direction of Herbert Brenon, the refreshing acting of Betty Bronson. the admirable characterizations of Tom Moore and Esther Ralston, and the skilful playing of the competent supporting cast.

Giannini Charms Audience in Club Recital Last Week BY MUSIC CRITIC Friday evening, January 8, a capacity audience greeted Dusolina Giannini, Iramatic soprano, on the occasion of ier recital of a varied repertory of classic and modern songs. 'These artists' recitals, sponsored by the Win- netka Music club, have come to be notable social, as well as artistic, events. Every recitalist presenting a program at these times is sure of meet- ing a large .and appreciative assembly. Dusolina Giannini had this pleasant experience, With her blue dress and large red butterfly sleeves, Giannini from the very first moment of her appearance made a decidedly favorable impression, to which her engaging manner made a noticeable addition. Her singing, re- markable for its interpretive power and flexibility aroused unusual applause and made the giving of encores impera- tive. Of her three groups the Ttalian folk songs seemed most pleasing. Mrs. A. H. Goodhue of 384 Elder lane was hostess at a dinner given Wednesday evening, January 13.

Dodge Cars Do 700 Miles at Fifty Below By Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews Hardship and hazard were constant- ly intermingled with the thrill of im- portant discovery and the adventure of exploring vast areas never before vis- ited by civilized man in the Asiatic ex- pedition of the American Museum of Natural History. Probably the most bitter experience we had during our three Asiatic Expe- ditions was over the 700-mile route from Kalgan, China, to Urga, the cap- ital of Mongolia. The temperature was fifty degrees below zero. We never stopped the engine during the trip as we felt certain that no antifreeze mix- ture would safely withstand that in- tense cold. On May 24, while crossing the desert we ran into a blizzard. For long stretches there was no snow at all, then came drifts. Several times we ran iato patches of what appeared to be shal- low drifts and suddenly found ourselves buried in snow that had packed into gulleys twelve or fifteen feet deep. Our Dodge Brothers Motor cars were the first automobiles that ever went past Urga. On the way out from Kalgan we passed the wrecks of nine- teen other cars in the first 150 miles. | Ten men had been killed in the wrecks of these cars. As soon as we came out of the desert we were beset with traders and busi- ness men who wanted to know all about our trip. They had openly de- clared that no motor car could go into that region and come out again, but when we showed up with our entire fleet of five Dodge Brothers cars in perfect running order they were con- vinced, and now Dodges are making in a few days long trips into the in- terior that formerly took months by Newell & Retchin HOWAR The House of Harmony Continuous Every Day--2:15 to 11:15 N.
