Lew Wallace's immortal story of the Christ, is scheduled to appear at the Varsity theater in the very near future. Featuring Ramon Navaro, "Ben Hur" is doubtless one of the most gripping photoplays ever presented. It is a film that tears at the heart--that moves an audience to tears and crush- ing joy, building, ever building, straight from the beginning through to a marvel in dramatic climax. You'll like "Ben Hur" as you have seldom liked a picture. ITS KIND IN THE WORLD he THE THE ONLY CAR OF For numberless puzzled motorists Dodge Brothers new Victory Six will simplify the problem of selection, for nowhere in the world is there a car like it. Greater expenditure will not duplicate it. To possess this car's unique advantages you must possess this car. A Radical Departure in Body Design In The Victory, for the first time in his- tory, the body sill is eliminated. Body and chassis are built as a single integral unit. Thus, the wide, deep chassis frame of The Victory, now flush with the lines of the body, avoids the customary overhang of a wide body upon a narrow frame; and the chassis itself, rather than the body, supports all weight--body, floor, seats and passengers. Amazing Results The results of this construction are astonishing. 330 body parts are eliminated. 175 pounds of superfluous weight are cast off. The all-important CENTER OF GRAV- ITY is materially lowered. Without the slightest sacrifice of head- room or road-clearance, the over-all height of the car is also lowered -- one of the secrets of The Victory's great beauty. The amazing resources of the car's brilliant ove plant are multiplied still further y perfect distribution and economy of weight. Power in relation to load is materially increased--pick-up quickened--far great- er flexibility achieved. 21 valid miles per gallon at 25 miles per hour is made possible FOR A SIX! Incredible smoothness at high speed is another great gift of this new design! Elimination of back-wheel "chatter" when the 4-wheel Lockheed-Hydraulic brakes are quickly applied is still an- other! And thanks to The Victory's low center of gravity and wide chassis frame, sway- ing, skidding, tipping--each a factor of weight and its proper and improper placement--are reduced to a new and negligible minimum. Another New Safety Feature Yet Dodge Brothers have taken a further revolutionary step to insure the safest motor transportation it is possible to create. For the first time in automobile history, they have applied the so-called battle- ship construction to closed car design. In other words, the body has a double steel shell, locked together, with an air space intervening -- is actually TWO C bodies, one within the S other -- yet lighter by 175 pounds -- and the safest body . 4-DOOR SEDAN, EF.

Kenilworth Club Offers Lecture by Dr. Grenfell On Friday evening of next week the Kenilworth club presents another of its splendid offerings by the entertain- ment committee, Dr. Wilfred T. Gren- tell, the famous medical missionary, in a lecture profusely illustrated by stere- opticon, entitled "Midst Ice and Snow in Labrador." In the presentation of the lectures by Dr. Grenfell is un- folded one of the epic stories of work and service in wild and inaccessible lands. In 1892 Dr. Grenfell first visit- ed the coasts of Labrador and New- foundland in a hospital sailing ship to see if medical and surgical service could be established, and from this simple beginning has grown during the past thirty years one of the great service works of the world. There are now along one thousand miles of coast, a chain of six hospital ships, four nursing stations, two orphanages, some small schools, an industrial work, a Seamen's institute, a hospital steam- er, and a fleet of auxiliary power yawls. When the winter ice cuts off com- munication with the outside world and the floating population has departed, the boats are laid up and part of the hospitals are closed. Dog teams are used and long patrols established. Swathed in wind-proof garments the doctors of the International Grenfell association and their helpers travel over hundreds of miles of wind-swept and icy barrens or the frozen bays of the North Atlantic. Spanish Dinner Dance to Be Skokie Club Feature The dining room at Skokie Country club will be transformed into a Span- ish cafe, and the living room will be- come a Spanish garden, for the dinner dance to be given this Saturday eve- ning at the clubhouse. Waitresses in Spanish costume will serve only Spanish food. Cope Harvey supplies the music for dancing. The children's party last Saturday afternoon was pronounced a huge success by the three-hundred children who attended. Ice cream and cake was served, and each child received a balloon and a bag of candy. Besides H. C. Niegelsen's magic tricks, the main attraction of the party was the artificial fish pond which had been built in the living room between the two big fireplaces, and from which the guests fished prizes. All idea of winter sports, including the Eskimo carnival which was to have been given Saturday, January 28, has been abandoned in favor of golf, be- cause of the unusual mid-January weather. Holly Hill Golf Links Lure Florida Resorters Many north shore residents are en- joying life in Davenport, Fla. at this season, and, more particularly, the ex- cellent golfing facilities provided at the Holly Hill Golf and Country club in that locality. An 18-hole golf course was opened this season, said to be one of the sportiest courses in the great winter resort state. The links embody the most advanced features of modern golf course design, it is stated, and com- pare favorably with the finest in the country. Many members of north shore clubs are familiar with the first nine holes of the completed course, which have been in play for several seasons. Mrs. Frank Nason, formerly of Ken- ilworth but now of Winnetka, enter- tained the Monday sewing club last week. Members of the club include Mrs. Roy Osgood, Mrs. John P. Ole- son, Mrs, Walter Launder, Mrs. Frank Cherry, and Mrs. John Roberts.
