You can help them with their school work, have parties for them--in short, keep enough hours free for your children so that you may build up a com- panionship that will not break down as the years roll by. A telephone call or a few words to Bill the Washington Laundry Man and wash- day would be a thing of the past. 700-704 Washington Street™ Fone WILMETTE <5 At the Movies VILLAGE THEATER One of the most delightful, balanced, well- easy-moving comedies the screen has offered for a long time is "The Waning Sex," the Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer picture starring Norma Shearer, which comes to the Village theatre next Monday and Tuesday, October 11 and 12, with Conrad Nagel as leading man. : Two girls and a man are the focal points of the plot. One of the girls wants him but doesn't love him, the other, the heroine, loves him but doesn't want him because she's not quite sure of her own mind. The menace in this case is the girl who wants him but doesn't love him. She plots against him. He is invited to her home for dinner and while there an unfortunate mishap deprives him of his trotisers, a compromising situation and just what the girl in- tended it to be. All of the fair plotter"s wiles are punctured, however, by the clever- ness of her rival, and her frustration is just as complete and as satisfying as if she were the conventional male villain of the story. In addition there will be an Edu- cational comedy, "Dummy Love," and a Pathe news reel. On Wednesday, October 13, the feature attraction will be "The Social Highwayman," with John Patrick and Dorothy Devore. This is a fast-mov- ing comedy drama, built around the efforts of a young reporter to capture a notorious bandit, and is full of laughs and thrills. There will also be a car- toon comedy, "Props and the Spirits," and a Pathe review. The Douglas Fairbanks screen feat- ure "Don Q, Son of Zorro," coming to the Village theatre on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 14, 15 and 16, is a supreme melodrama. It is a modern story, laid in Spain, with most of the action taking place in Madrid. Action-plus, with lightning sword- play, stunts, athletic achievement, humor and romantic merge ceaselessly. The scenic background is the most elaborate and pretentious imaginable for the period. Fairbanks leaps as it were from castle to castle. The plot is founded on "Don Q's Love Story" by K. and Hesketh Prich- ard, adapted for the screen by Jack Cunningham. The story positively has nothing to do with the Cervantes hero, "Don Quixote" or his windmill troubles. Mary Astor, young, beautiful and ac- complished, has the leading feminine role. To complete the bill there will be a new Inkwell cartoon called "Vaude- ville," and a Pathe news reel. Among the big pictures to be shown at the Village theater in the near fu- ture are "Variety" and "Men of Steel." Mrs. Carl Abrahamson, 762 Walden road, is vice president of the Woman's Allied Drug club which opened its season with a reception to its new president, Mrs. T. H. Manchester, Thursday, at the Morrison hotel. Mrs. Frederick A. Dow spoke on "What Constitutes Club Work." Mrs. Flor- ence Huden of Glencoe, soprano, sang. Miss Marjorie Lips, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lips, 844 Spruce street, has entered her last year of nurses training at the St. Frances hos- pital. Her course ends in June. --0-- Mr. and Mrs. George W.
