HELPFUL NEW "Y" 2-REELER 'T'HE Chicago Y. M. C. A. Hotel and its activities are depicted in a two reel drama produced to arouse interest in liie hotel's facilities and service to young men who are strangers in the city. It is a story about a young man from the country who arrives in Chicago, seeking a position and a home. In his wanderings about the city he is approached by many undesirable acquaint- ances, who offer suggestions and a desire to help him find work and a place to board. Investigating the boardmg houses, whose addresses have been furnished by casual acquaintances, he be- comes disgusted and discouraged, but a friendly newsboy helps him solve the problem by telling him to "Just beat it over to the Y. M. C. A. Hotel. You c'n hit de hay for four bits and de grub's fine." He acts upon the suggestion and procures a room at the Y. The following day the Social Service Bureau of the Y. helps him find a position. His new employer advises him to attend the Y. M. C. A. night school. He does, and earns his reward by rapid advancement in business and the promise of a good future. Scenes in the hotel and school were made in the Y. building and the film has been exhibited in Chicago theaters, but it is available for all Y. M. C. A.'s, churches, or welfare organiza- tion interested in the problem of young men.
