in the picture. It was taken twentyflve
years ago and Is a riew of the
students who attended the school of
the late Mrs. Maggie Arthur Call on {
Gladden street. All In the picture
were small then and It Is amusing to
hear the comments of those who occasionally
recognize a face as known
then and how they appear twenty- >4
five years later. So far as the Dally
News man knows Mr. O. M. Winfield,
who was a pupil of Mrs. Call then,
has succeeded in recognizing a majority
of the faces. The picture must

CHICAGO BEACH SIGHTS
OUTRIVAL ATLANTIC CITY'S
Chicago, Aug. 18.?Some of the
eights you cau see on the Chicago
bathing beaches almost any day cannot
be reproduced in the Chicago
theatres on films, unless the proprietors
want to go to Jail. The city
board, whose Job is censoring moving
pictures, gasped In horror, and
turned thumbs down on a movie
film taken at a North Shore beach i
where the truly elite are supposed
to get their recreation.
Nay, nay," cried the horrified
censors, as they saw thrown on the
censor's screen scores of pictures of
shapely feminine bathers In suite
that accentuated rather than hid the
comeliness and curves of the fair
bathers. "Take fhem away. Those
girls are not properly clad and many
of the poses are too shocking for
words."
And SO the films war*
Bat th? fllnj companies have decided
to take their chances with the censors
of other cities. In, the meantime
no one has put a ban on the
bathing girls whose scantily clad
' figure# wer? filmed.
