"Give us the movies or we will resign." Such is the ultimatum which has been issued by the maids and servants in Wilmete. And it is said authoritively, that the village officials are arranging to accede to the demand. For many weeks, yes months, an ordinance to regulate the type of building which should be constructed for the safety of the patrons of a motion piture show has been before the village council. The measure met with the same fate as many other proposed codes in that it was tabled or sent to some committee and no report gien. Now the hot summer months hav arrived and with the beach growing monotonous, the house servants demand some kind of divesion from their tasks during the evening. The nearest motion picture has been in Evanston and the trop to and from that city has lost all its novelty for the workers. It is understood that the village officials will soon pass the moving picture show ordinance and the maids will then be given their coveted amusement.
