Sev- House on Jannuary | 4,5 and 6 Definite announcement was made this week that Douglas will appear at the Winnetka Com- munity House, January 4, 5 and 6 in Alexanndre Dumas' immortal story, "The Three Musketeers." The film version of "The Three Musketeers" is based not only upon the famous novel of Alexander Du- mas, but also upon the memoirs of D'Artagnan himself. 'In fact, much of the material upon which the "busi- ness" of the photoplay is built, much that gives it the human touch, was found in D' Artagnan's memoirs and not in the novel, although it was from the Dumas story that the foun- dation stones for the picture plot were obtained. A special prologue has been ar- ranged to precede the "Three Musketeers" and a musical accom- paniment, written by Louis Gott- schalk, the noted composer, will be rendered during the picture. Owing to existing contracts with the United Arists orporation, the distributor of "The Three Muske- teers," it is necessary to charge a minimum admission fee of fifty cents, but it must be remembered that this picture which is being shown for the first time on the north shore, is con- GOOD ROADS BUILT IN 1921 Road building has recovered from Fairbanks) the setback received during the war, and prospects are bright for the fu- ture. Approximately 14,000 miles of road have been constructed during the present season by the States in conjunction with Federal aid, accord- ing to the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agri- culture, and probably an equal amount independent of Federal aid. More miles of improved road have been built than during any other year. Costs of road grading and construc- tion with local materials is down practically to the 1914 level. Some reductions, also, have been made in freight rates on road materials The importance of this item is shown by the fact that in some cases it has been estimated that increased freight rates have added 10 per cent to the cost of a road. Prices of manufac- tured road materials tend downward; the present level is materially lower than that of a year ago. With the new appropriation by Congress of $75,000,000, added impet- us will be given to new road. con- struction.
