A delightful guest program meeting of the Musart Club was held at the home of Mrs. Lisle R. Hawley, 1125 S. Linden avenue, on Monday, Nov. 27. There were six guests present. The next meeting of the club will be held Monday, Dec. 4, at 2:30 p.m. at the home of Mrs. John Erickson, 531 Gray aveâ€" nue. It is difficult to believe that one week in the lives of an ordinary midâ€" western family such as the Simâ€" mons‘ could possibly hold so many situations of amusement and susâ€" pense. However, "never a dull moâ€" ment" was the law in the Simmons‘ household. Chester Binney, his business partâ€" ner, our unromantic but sincere hero, finds himself a part of Mr. Simmons‘ plan to marry him to his daughter and the ensuing compliâ€" cations are hilarious. Carl Christ ianson plays the part of Chester while John Robinson carries the role of Simmons. Others in the cast are Edith Flynn as Mrs. Simmons; Dorâ€" othy Dunham as their lovely daughâ€" ter, Ethel; Wally Hatcher as the beautiful motion picture star, Letty Lythe; Vernon Fox as Donald Swift, a motion picture director; Ben Bruce as Roger Shields, a man of the world; Eunice Harter and Ann Jennings as Lila and Sally, friends of Ethel; Joell Fox as Annie, the maid; Ruth Gould as a dancing teacher, Sadie Bloom; and Malcolm Jennings will be the taxiâ€"driver. Musart Club Enjoys Guest Program Nov. 27 play, "The Whole Town‘s Ttalking," at the Highland Park High School This clever farce, written by John Emerson and Anita Loos, is espeâ€" cially popular with amateur and little theatre groups all over the country because of its wholesome comedy and snappy dialogue. "O, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive," never bothered Mr. Simmons, for no matter how involved he became he was always sure that he could "fix" it. Mr. Joseph Shippen of Glencoe, a young man thoroughly acquainted with amateur theatricals, is directâ€" ing "The Whole Town‘s Talking" and rehearsals are being carried on most diligently. Every one in every department is working hard to give Highland Parkers a real treat. The membership of the West Ridge Dramatic club consists of peoâ€" ple living in the Woodridge and Briargate communities of Highland Park although anyone interested may become a member upon appliâ€" cation. It is the group that gave the delightful comedy, "Duley," so successfully several years ago. Alâ€" though they have confined their draâ€" matic efforts to one act plays since then, the club, with Mrs. C. C. Hatcher Jr. as president has kept up an active interest in the drama and everything points to a show that will really have the "whole town talking."

The founders of the Fund beâ€" lieved that the money spent for flowâ€" ers, both in joy and in sorrow, could often better be used for philan» thropic purposes. At the close of each fiscal year the receipts of the fund are used to fill some definite need in our Highâ€" land Park hospital This year the board of the Auxilisry has voted the money for the purchase of new bedside lamps to replace inadequate and outâ€"moded ones which have done long and hard duty. | Sunday evening‘s meeting will be in charge of Bill Jennings and Lon Lower.

In order to accommodate the numâ€" ber of members expected at this noct?. Mrs. Earl Hyett and memâ€" bers of her program committee have arranged to have the center cross aisle screened off in the auditorium and have had a special platform built on the level of the audience. Tea and conference with the teachâ€" ing staff will be held at 3 p.m. in the English club room with Mrs. Paul Date and her committee as hostesses. Dr. Boyd, high school physician, will talk about the physical examâ€" ination of your child and the speâ€" cific findings in these examinations. Mothers are invited to ask questions in the open forum which will be conducted by Dr. Boyd, Mr. Robert Kendig of the physical education department, and Miss Lasswell, the very efficient and well liked school nurse. _ It is good to have Mr. Kenâ€" dig back on the teaching staff again after a year‘s leave of absence, durâ€" ing which time he studied for and received his Master‘s Degree at Coâ€" lumbia. Now that the emotional reactions of your child have been very ably and interestingly handled through the lectures given by Miss Helen Ross, this program dealing with the physical aspects should prove very interesting.

THE HIGHLAND PARK PRESS Now you can Bake FOUR CAKES WITH CERTAINTY OF SUCCESS .. with the Modern GAS RANGE Whenever and wherever Chicago art is discussed, Frank C. Peyraud comes in for his share of mention, honorable mention, too. Last Saturâ€" day he closed his oneâ€"man show at the Chicago galleries, 215 North Michigan avenue, where a large number of his landscapes have been on exhibit in the large gallery there. Just as another Ravinian, Roâ€" wena Bennett, is known for her Skokie poems, so Mr. Peyraud is often commended for his landscape painting of the same locale. One Skokie picture in the Chicago show was described by a newspaper critic as follows: "One of the finest of the landâ€" scapes shows the Skokie valley spread out like a gorgeous carpet of variâ€"colored fields, cut by a shalâ€" low stream whose green banks make an intriguing motif through the browns and darker greens of the meadow and farm lands, under a sky of white clouds, through which the sun strikes. The light and shadows on the fields are beautiful and the sky, with its varied ranges of white, gray and blue, is equally beautiful. It is one of the greatest paintings Mr. Peyraud has done." The Ravinia artist, however, has not confined himself to painting Illâ€" inois scenes alone. In fact, many local persons forget that he was born in Bulle Canton Fribourg, Switzerland, the son of Henri and Romaine Peyraud. He matriculated at the College of Fribourg and beâ€" came a Parisian art student at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. Continuing his art studies at the Art Institute he married Elizabeth Krysler of Chiâ€" cago in 1906. Almost invariably one hears of UnusuUaAL SroRIEs 'eroonal;'ty /-/ Pevitew sUAL SToRIEs (95.
