OUR FEATURE SUIT Tailored to Your Order $50 CITY SALES--FOURTH FLOOR 319 West Van Buren Street Charles Olewine Builds Normandy Home in Glencoe Charles E. Olewine, well known builder, has started an English Nor- mandy type house at the south- west corner of Scott and Vernon ave- nue, Glencoe, on a lot 75x160. The house is of seven rooms, all exceptionally large; a two-car garage attached to house with heat, light and water, and in addition to a beautiful lavatory on the first floor there will be three bathrooms on second floor all having colored tile wainscots, showers and the last word in plumbing fixtures. There are four bedrooms on the second floor, one of which is 15x20 and has a rather unusual feature of an alcove at one end with a window in the chimney. There are a total cf eight closets in the house, including a cedar closet. The living room is of unusual size and has in addition to several attrac- tive features, a vaulted ceiling. The house is being built of celotex veneer brick and stone construction with concrete basement. The finish on first floor will be dark with sand finish plaster. The bed- rooms will have the walls and wood- work painted. House is being built for the market. Evanston Girl Scouts to Sponsor Operetta Tonight Troops three and five of the Girl Scouts of Evanston are sponsoring an operetta, "The Gypsy Rover," which is being given this evening at 8 o'clock at the St. Luke's Parish House, Evanston. The Association House of Chicago is giving the operetta, which was written by May Howes Dodge and John Wilson Dodge. Girls from the settlement make up the cast. The Scouts are to give stunts between acts. The settlement is located near North and Milwaukee avenues, Chi- cago. Half of the proceeds goes to the settlement, and half to the Girl Scouts. The Scouts in charge of the affair are: Cynthia Clark, tickets for troup 5; Eleanor McGuigan, tickets for troup 3; Jean Redmond, stunt for troup 3; Virginia Mangold, candy sale for troup 3; Isabel and Carolyn Clark, candy sale for troup 5; Virginia Voll- mer, stunt for group 5. Make Rapid Progress on Scouts' Log Cabin Home Workmen are busy at the site where the cabin of the North Shore Area council, Boy Scouts of America, is be- ing built two miles west of Glencoe. The foundation is already laid, and the logs for the side are going up. The logs for the structure, which is to be 20x40, containing a fireplace, are already on the ground. County Commissioner Oscar W. Schmidt, of Wilmette, has been largely instrumental in securing the appropri- ation which is making possible this Scouting haven. During the last few weeks several troops have hiked to the site and look- ed over the territory. They report it a gem of a spot for week-end camping and hikes. An early Scoutcraft project will be the building of a bridge across a near- by branch of a river, thus providing a better access to camp. LEASES WINNETKA HOME Roscoe I.. Parkinson of the bond house of Thompson, Ross and com- pany, 29 S. LaSalle street, Chicago, has rented for two years the new home at 192 Church road, Winnetka. The lessor was E. Norberg of Wilmette and McGuire & Orr were the brokers. At the Movies VILLAGE THEATRE "Magic Garden" Two children in an enchanted gar- den, listening to the music of a violin weaving its magic into their hearts and binding them together forever; this is the memory that a boy and gir! cherished through long years until they found one another again. Gene Stratton-Porter created this beautiful theme as her last and greatest story, "The Magic Garden," and it may be seen on the screen as an F. B. O. release at the Village Theater next Monday and Tuesday. The picture opens when the boy and girl meet in a place of enchanting loveliness and there in the glorious garden, they pledge their love. How- ever, fate decrees that they must part, but all through the years that follow, their inspiration is the remembrance of those few hours and the hope that they may be reunited again. The girl's part is played by Margaret Mor- ris who invests the role with an ether- eal quality, while the boy's screen self is interpreted by Raymond Keane. "Held by the Law" All the sadness and tragedy of a great prison, and the horror of an execution are shown with striking dramatic effect in "Held by the Law," the Universal-Jewel directed by Ed- ward Laemmle which will be shown Wednesday and Thursday. The climax of this fascinating mys- tery melodrama takes place within the prison walls, and as a proper set- ting for the sequence, a large portion of the interior of Sing Sing prison was reproduced with painstaking fidelity at Universal City. One of the most dramatic scenes ever filmed is enacted in this set with Ralph Lewis as a condemned man, waiting for the hour of his execution. Johnnie Walker, Marguerite de la Motte, Robert Ober, Ralph Lewis, E. J. Ratcliffe, and Maude Wayne por- tray the principal roles in the picture. "The General" Buster Keaton recently went shop- ping for locomotives! Not toy ones, but real iron horses weighing many tons each. Keaton needed the locomotives for his first United Artists' picture, "The General," a comedy spectacle with a Civil War backeround, which will be presented on Friday and Saturday. When he found three of the type he wanted, he rebuilt them into replicas of engines that snorted over the rails during the 60's. He also acquired manv old freight cars and passenger coaches for conversion into Civil War period rolling stock. In filming the costliest and most am- bitious comedy in the history of the motion picture industry, Keaton assem- bled equipment and historical data from all parts of the country. Al- though primarily planned for laughing purposes only, "The General" is tech- nically accurate from a historical standpoint, and was filmed on a scale attempted in but few dramatic pro- ductions. N. T. Boys' Glee Club to Sing Before Supervisors The Bovs' Glee club of the New I'rier High school will appear in a concert at a luncheon of the super- visors of music of Chicago and sub arbs at 12 o'clock Saturdav, April 23, in the Congress hotel.
