Northrop was confined to his home this week suffering from a severe cold. Subscribe For Your Local Paper Social Happenings > J Oliver E. Hinsdell, well known dramatic coach on the north shore and son of Mrs. O. A. Hinsdell, 501 Washington avenue, who is spending the winter in New Orleans, is the director of Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre in that city. Mr. Hinsdell has just finished pro- ducing the second play of the sea- son. The people with whom he works, though not professionals, are all interested in the better theatre movement and eager to produce plays of the highest type. Their last play, Eugene "Beyond the Horizon," received much favorable comment from the New Orleans newspapers. This was the most ambitious piece the company has attempted and the director was much gratified at its enthusisatic re- ception. Heretofore, the performances of the little company were treated as social affairs, but under Mr. Hins- dell's direction it is beginning to take up things more serious which are worthy of the most thorough dramatic criticism. Mr. Hinsdell and his family expect to remain in New Orleans until spring when he will perhaps return to Evans- ton to resume his work here. lle SN Mrs. Hayward H. Hillyer of 887 Ash street, has gone south to spend the greater part of the winter with her mother, Mrs. Waterman in New Orleans. ee sim The Village Dancing club will hold their annual Christmas party at the Winnetka Woman's club next Tues- day evening. --e-- Miss Hellen Reeves will entertain at a dinner party at her home in Kenilworth preceding the dance at the Kenilworth club on the evening of December 28.

In his latest film, "The Three Musketeers," which is to be shown at the Community House Jan- uary 4, 5 and 6, Mr. Fairbanks proved that he is every inch an actor. The Three Musketeers are as con- vincing as if they had stepped right out of one of the old steel-engraved illustrations of the Dumas book. Douglas Fairbanks' work as D'Ar- tagnan entitles him to a position on the topmost rung of the ladder of fame. Those who have had their doubts as to Mr. Fairbanks' ability as an actor of dramatic roles will quickly discard these doubts when they watch his presentation of this character. He is more restrained, by far more dra- matic than in anything he has ever done before. His love-making is of the sort that rings true; it is neither silly nor over-done. The scene in which he comes to the Queen exhaust- ed but with the jewels he was sent to recover is one of the most dramatic and realistic ever seen on either stage or screen. Tickets are now on sale at Com- munity House. BUILDING PERMITS Building permits issued this week by the Village Department of Public Works included an $18,000 residence for A. J.
