WILMETTE LIF.E October 12, 1928 "Acclitnatized'~---what it tneans · ·to· the buyer of shrubs IS a satisfaction to know that the shrubs you purchase for planting on your home grounds were grown right htre on the north shore. When acc. limatization is necessary, as in the case of shrubs originating in other sections of the country, there is an ever-present danger of loss afttr transplanting on your property. . WOMAN'S .CLUB OPENS E. H. So,hern Will Be ·seen at Varsity S7JDphoaic Trio and Oli.-. O'Neil Win Hi1h P...U. at Wouao'a Qub Mu·i· Wednesday, Oct.17 cale Wedaeada,. E. H;. . Sothern, American's greatest actor-producer, is making a limited tour of the c·o untry in what is characterized as the most entertaining and significant series of dramatic presentations ever offered on the American platform. The Drama Club of Evanston have secured Mr. Sothern in a recital of. excerpts from .. Hamlet." "Othello" and "Lord Dundreary" which will be open to the general public Wednesday, October 17, at 2 o'clock at the Varsity theater, Evanston. Tickets for general admission are on sale at the Varsity box-office and a13o at the Milroy Music company in Winnetka. A special price has been made to students. This is probably the last opportunity to hear this great and distinguished actor. B,. R. L P. Following a custom of several years' standing,. the Wilmette Woman's club opened the seao&on with a musicale and reception on Wednesday afternoon, October 10, in the freshened surroundings of the · club home. Mrs. Hayes McKinney, president, and . the board of directors welComed the members and t~eir guests before the program, and following it everyone sipped tea and amiably chatted, picking up the threads of friendship dropped in the spring. To Mrs. David F. Hall, chairman vf the music department, go the honor., for the program. Mrs. Hall acted in the same capacity last year, and has long since proved her ability to discover talent and arrange stimulating programs. The musicale last Wednesday was of the highest order, and it offered great enjoyment, appealing to the hearts and minds of the audience, and especially to this critic. The Symphonic trio, composed of George Bass, violini st, Theodore E,atzer, 'cellist, and Otto Muncke, pianist, had chosen just the right so rt of music for the fe sti ve occasion and the balmy almost sprin glike air outside. Prove d mu sician s they were, and well abl e to prese nt such delica<;ies as Dehussy's "Romance," Campbell-Tipton's "Spirit Flower." The fragility of th e Debu ssy was enchantingly brought out. An arti stic bit that deserve special prai se, a dainty little novelty by Pierne. "March of the Tin Soldiers." wa s includ ed in one group. It had the thin sturdiness of tin and the gaiety of th e cheer:v painted costumes, and the trio handled it delig ht fully. Kreisler's arrangement of the "Londondern· Air," and Nell Gwvnnc Dances " hv ·German were also at~wn g the numbers, bringing enthusia stic applause. Mr. M uncke played th e accompaniments in a masterly mamH·r and with quite evident enjoyment fo r that sort of thing. He gave a g rnup of piano solos, der.nonstrating his virtuositv in MacDowell's "Concert Fan tasie," and Gounod- Liszt' s "Concert Paraphrase Faust Waltz." with fingers that know how to put in the punch and how to be tender. Miss Olive O'Neil, soprano, sang two groups. She possesses a remarkable coloratura voice, such a one that ;s seldom encountered in club programs. Precisely on the pitch, and with a tone of rare purity, she spirited herself with disarming ease through the difficulties of an English Waltz song 4 by Robey, and Benedict's 'The Wren," which is full of hurdles that Miss O'Neil surmounted smilingly. One does not think of technique, for she sings so spontaneously, and her personality immediately won the audience. Songs of a more lyric vain, as Hahn'~ beautiful uD'une Prison,". and Lang's "Irish Love Song," showed that she can also sing with a smooth, sustained tone and lose none of the fine texture of her voice. She is a young artist who undoubtedly has a brilliant future. IT Fiore pu-acclimated shrubs are healthy and hardy first and last, assuring sturdy, lasting growtb and fine foliage.
