Chicago, la'3t Monday evening spoke at the Winnetka Community House under the auspices of the North Shore Art league on the topic of "Modern Architecture." "Architecture," said Mr. Watson, "Is the demonstration of man's faith in immortality." Explaining his topic, the '3peaker went on to show the development of beauty and utility hand in hand, declaring that nothing com.es into its greatest usefulness untif it achieves something of gracefulness and beauty. Augmenting his di'.scussion by a num ber of lantern slides, Mr. Watson showed something of the development of beauty in architecture in commercial buildings, notably the skyscraper, quoting among others Dr. Hugo E:ckener to the effect that Chicago boast5 an architectural present and future un equaled anywhere in the world. Practically nothing new has been developed since the Gothic, said Mr. Watson, with the possible exception of Frank Lloyd Wright's concrete house, and the tendency is to combine well known ·5tyles making in this way some thing suitable for the individual case and something American. This was the fourth of a series of six lectures to be given by Mr. Watson under the auspice-5 of the North Shore Art league.
