Fannie Hurst's most appealing
story, "Humoresque," has been trans
ferred to the screen and win be the
feature attraction at the Emma Thea
tire, Friday and Saturday, Dec. oath
and 25th. The intensely human at
mosphere of the novel is said to
have been incorporated into the pic
ture with singular success.
The story centers around Leon
Kantor, a boy of the Ghetto who
shows an intense love for music. His
mother who has always wanted a
musician-son, is delighted and on
his seventh birthday buys him vic,
lin. Icons playmate is pretty Gina
Ginsberg. Fifteen years later, Leon
is a recognized genius. On the night
of his triumph at a big concert CIV
en- for his people of the Ghetto, he
enlists. Leon returns from France
with shattered shoulder and it is
said that he will never be able to
play the violin again. Icons music
is his all. He becomes morose and
discouraged. Before the war he had
become engaged to Gina. Now he
wishes to release her from marrying
nina cripple But in a very won
derful way he is restored to full
strength, and to the joy of his moth
er and Gina, turns toward new con-
quests in the realm of music.

COMMUNITY CLUB, DIST. NO. 9

The gathering last Friday, Dec. II
of the Community Club, resulted in
an enthusiastic meeting. First on
the program was a song, composed
by Jay Keller:
Boosting the Farmer
ooh, come and join our happy band
Well have a jolly time
Let's leave our woes and sorrows
And our troubles all behind,
And to the trials of others,
We will not be wholly blind,
While we are boosting the farmer.
Cho.
Payette, Payette, ye valley of PayettC
Payette, Payette, we'll love you bet
ter yet,
When the farmers get together
| In a business sort of way,
While we are boosting the farmer
/ Oh, bring friends and neighbors,
And your aunts and cousins, too,
We will show the world about us
What the country folks can do
We,ll stir the fighting spirit
That now dormant lies in You
While we are boosting the farmer.
oh, come with smiling faces
And welcome you will be
For happy smiling faces
Are sight we love to see
Well show you all the meaning
OF true hospitality
While we are boosting the farmer"
Then followed talk on Commun.
ity organization by John Hill and an
original pun story by Ed Harper on
the same subject.
The debate on the question
whether the present or past sys-
tenn of Road Building in this COM
munity was more economical, led
by J. v. Martin for the new system,
supported by Jay Keifer and Roy
Keifer; the former system, Antoine
Diedericksen, VIM. Stewart and John
Hill, resulted in favor of the old
system. After the debate a general
discussion on the road building was
had, and the present management
came in for its share of criticism,
and occasionally something stronger.
Miss Leona Deiderichsen gave a
reading. a
Meeting closed with community
singing, led by Miss Yaggy.
The next meeting will be on Christ
mas Eve, when there will be a
Christmas tree for the community,
with a program rendered by the
school children of the District. A
good time is anticipated. All the
community, especially the children,
are expected to be present.
