J~b " Brinkman, Richard Btidet, and· Leila Blomfield to Give Proaram Wednesday, April 4, is the time of the next aU-day meeting of the W oman's club of Wilmette, which will ~onvene as usual at 11, with luncheon served at 1, and a program in the afternoon at 2. The morning session will consist of a lecture recital on Chopin by Joseph Brinkman, pianist, using the Steinway Duo-Art, and the afternoon, an address by Mrs. Leila Blomfield, e n t i t I e d "New Zealand's Message to America," and music by Richard Heidel, 'cellist. Of the two musicians, the chairman of the music department says in the March Bulletin of the club, quoted in part: ··The music department has a most interesting morning to offer club members on April 4. Joseph Brinkman, pianist, will give us a lecture recital on the· "Life and Works of Chopin." He will use the Steinway Duo-Art to illustrate part of his lecture, but, best of all, will use his own clever fingers to give us one of his spirited performances · that have won praise from all the music critics who have heard him. He is admirably gifted, both technically and temperamentally. "For the same afternoon, April4, we were fortunate enough to secure Richard Heidel, 'cellist, who has been playing this season with the St. Louis Symphony orchestra. He will give us two groups of charming pieces." Leila M. Blomfield of New Zealand, writer, lecturer, student, who is to speak in the afternoon, brings a message from the world's smallest democracy to America, the largest. Mrs. Blomfield is acclaimed widely by critics as being one of the two or three really great women lecturers of today. She charms her audiences and compets their interest with the force and power of her message. She brings a story of progress and industrial harmony of a nation where, it is stated, mankind ex c e I s in progressive government, where citizenship means individual · respon·sibility, where ninety percent of the population vote, a story of a government really of the people.
