	Description:	Very dark in contrast and imagery / Shaky and light The scene of the fire is 'no man's land,' an unincorporated strip of ground between Kenilworth and Wilmette. Officials of these suburban communities had denied the use of their water because of unpaid bills. Powerless to fight the holocaust, firemen of Evanston stand by as the conflagration eats into the structure. After it burns through the resort for hours one of the city dads rescinds the order, but too late to save the building from destruction.
