·12 WILMETTE LIFE M_ a y 18, 1928 THE FINER WAY TO LIVEA .·eriea .of Menages to North Shore People Who Mrgbt Lrke to Improve Their Living Arrangement· Former ·Resident of North Shore Writes on Movies Among that multitude of movie fans that pass each week through the gates of the many theaters of the United States-and the world for that matter -to steal away from the strife and grind of the material life and to dwell momentarily in the land of · shadows, are those that follow in the newspaper3 and magazines the news of that other smaller multitude that works daily at the task of producing the films. Some of the fans that thus take their movies seriously, have doubtless noticed the articles written by Ruth Biery which have appeared from time to time in Photoplay, a magazine ·devoted exclusively to motion picture news and issued monthly by the Photoplay Publishing company of Chicago and New York City. · Written in a ~tyle peculiarly her own, the articles relate most interestingly salient points in the life history of various stars, portraying vividly their characteristics and reflecting their personalities in such a manner as to break down the barrier imposed by the pri{lted page and give the reader a glimpse of the real actor. Theater goer3 of the north shore, who have read the articles, would have perused them with even greater interest had they known that they were written by a former neighbor. Ruth Biery, who now resides near Hollywood, was formerly a Winnetka woman, and is the daughter of Mr. arid Mrs. Maurice Lieber. Mr. Lieber is the Winnetka agent of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad and Mrs. Lieber is herself interested in literary work and is especially prominent in the Chicago and north shore area·.s because of her lectures on parliamentary Ia w.

The Ravinia club, which has been it]. existence for many years, held its annual .luncheon at the Moraine hotel, Highland Park, last week, at which time Louis Eckstein outlined the plans he has form ulated for the coming season of Ravinia opera and concerts, which is to begin Sat urday night, June 23. As Mr. Eckstein told th. e club memben of the array of artists he ha s engaged for · the pending season, there was enthusiastic response on the part of his auditors. The announcement that all the world-famous singers who helpe~ to make the season of 1927 memorable in the annals of operatic history would return, brought round s of applau3e, and an outburst of aprov al greeted the ·statement that in addi tion to these artists, the roster will contain the names of several who, although prime favorites at Ravinia in stasons past have not been heard there for some time. Beein Subscription Campaien Realizing that the Ravinia under taking this year is greater than ever it has been before, the members of the Ravinia club resolved to begin their work at once, with the result that the committees have now been appointed and have taken up their ·allotted tasks in ear.nest. The work upon which th e club is now engaged is the taking of subscriptions for the Ravinia coupon books, which give the holders twentv admissions to Ravinia at a reduced rate. It is the concensus of these north shore women that there should be a Ravinia coupon book in everv home, and they have set out to achieve this result. These women believe in Ravinia as a community enterprise and realize that it is maintained sea son . after seasoo for the benefit of th e community at large, which means th e entire Chicago di strict. The y kn ow that there i'3 no intention of makin g it yield a profit and are thoroughly imbued with the idea that it is the duh· of those it serves so well, to lend ft their co-operation in every possihk way. It is pointed out that th e c;ultural and artistic value of Ravinia is inestimable and that occupying a s it doe s, a pla.ce apart in the field o f operatic endeav,or. Ravi.nia -shed s a luster on the Chicago district whicl. 1 makes this the cent ·r of artistic att :-action during the ten weeks and three davs .of the season.
