2 "we WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1921 Arden Shore as a health camp when he laid out with care and rare genius the beautifully wooded 23 acres of shore land overlooking a beach which for natural beauty finds no compari- son along Chicago's north shore. And nestled among the giant forest trees are the simple cottages, huts, and in the summer time, when hun- dreds of mothers, infants and girls enjoy the camp with the boys, are the little tent villages. "Motherville" There There is "Motherville," for the tired mothers of the tenements who | come to Arden Shore for a brief resting spell, far away from the dingy tenement rooms and the drug- ery of the inevitable washtub. There is "Babyville" where the in- fants are given the benefit of expert attention and mothers are taught the essentials of hygiene and sanitation. There is "Girlville" where the lit- tle wan-faced creatures may scamper to heart's content, and a place for the older girls who seek the rest camp as a vacation spot. There is a quiet nook for conva- lescents who are aided back to com- plete health under the supervision of trained attendants. And "Boyville" for the young fel- lows who are trying hard to get strong so that they may help take care of their mothers, little brothers and sisters, and having lots of fun in the meantime. There is a spacious, well ventilated dining hall near the entrance to the camp, with model kitchens, and a library adjoining with its inviting fireplace, well filled book shelves, tables and writing materials. There "is a new, study building where classes may be taught, and an open air sewing pavilion on the beach equipped with sewing ma- chines and work tables, where the mothers learn to mend, patch and make over garments under the able direction of an instructor. Women of the north shore send up quantities of clothing. But the best place of all on a pleas- ant summer's day is the wonderful beach and the ravines which lead down to it. Just about everybody goes swimming. On May 1 begins the annual drive in this village for funds for Arden Shore. It will be an unprecedented opportunity to help in a cause of un- disputed merit. It is not charity, in the ordinary sense, it's helping these unfortunate ones to be able to better help themselves. DOUG'S LATEST BRINGS OUT NOVEL DEPARTURES Photoplay Lovers Something Entirely Different From Anything He Has Ever Before Done Gives The film feature chosen for May 13 at Community House is Douglas Pairbanks in "The - Nat," *'re- leased through United Artists. This picture is said to be a dis- tinct departure from anything previously done by this ever-ac tive star. Audi ences that have grown accustom- el to seeing "Doug" leap from house-top to house-top will see his stunts utilized from an entirely dif- ferent angle. Portraying a love-lorn inventor, he invents his way into trouble and then invents his way out, all for the sake of a girl. The story is laid in Green- wich Village and furnishes a pictorial tour of this noted quarter. In addition to the Fairbanks' rea- ture, several short subjects are in- cluded in the bill; promising a un- usually good program..
