WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1924 IMMIGRATION QUESTION SUBJECT FOR CLUB DISCUSSION | Youthful 'Cellist in Marianne Babcock, A Gifted Vocalist, In Glencoe Concert ADAME Marianne Powell Bab- cock, dramatic coloratura so- prano, a young woman of charm- ing personality, who has a voice which, according to Campinini shows every promise of making its possessor a star on the Grand Opera stage, gave the concert at the meeting of the Glencoe] Library club on Thursday afterneon. Madame Babcock is the daughter of Dr. T. Elhaven Powell of Chicago, and May Corbin Powell, a poetess and com- i poser of note. i An excerpt from the "Music News" | of May 11, 1923, on the frontispiece of which Marianne Babcock's reproduced protograph appeared, sums up the opin- ion given after every recital and musical in which she has appeared. The News speaks of her as "a young American operatic soprano of charming, graceful presence, who is most rapidly winning her way into the premiere rank of noted American artists, by virtue of individual Concert in Chicago ISS Lillian Rehberg is the young- est Hess pupil who has appeared in recital in Chicago this sea- son. . The concert 'was given at the Fine Arts Recital hall on March 4, under the Kinsolving direction. Miss Rehberg comes from a musical family. When Lillian came to Mr. Hess five years ago at the age of eleven, it did not take Mr. Hess long to realize the ex- ceptional gift the girl showed for the 'cello. In noting her conscientiousness and the solid progress in her work, Mr. Hess at that time set the date five years hence for a public appearance in Chi- cago. Miss Lillian took this expecta- tion of Mr. Hess very seriously and that she has lived up to this expecta- tion is proved by the fact that Mr. Hess gave his consent to her appearance this year. Miss Rehberg has besides a large repertoire of smaller compositions, at her command the following five con- certos : 2nd and 4th concerto by Romberg, Concerto by Saint-Saens, F, Major and D Minor concerto by Goltermann, Con- certo by Dvorak, Variations Symphon- ique by Boellmann. As it was difficult for Mr. Hess to decide which to choose for the big num- ber on her program, they drew for it, and the Goltermann in D Minor, Opus 30, was chosen. By her own choosing the difficult Boellmann Variations and the Sonata in D Major by Boccherini were also placed on the program. Be- sides these numbers, she played Sur le lac by Godard, Adagio from the Schu- mann concerto, French Village Song by Popper and the Spinning Song by Popper.

Since then Mme. Bab- cock has constantly been the recipient of warm tributes of praise from many great artists, recently further endorsed by Franz Prochowsky, who spoke of her lovely voice innate gifts as 'God- given" Mme.

Three one-act plays were presented, the first being "Ashes of Roses" by Constance McKaye. Mrs. Pierre Bontecou played the part of Kit- v Cline; Mrs. E. A, Kracke, Horace Walpole; Mrs. Fuchs, Roxanne; and Mrs. J. W. Fisher, Phyllis. The characters in "Conflict" by Clar- ce Violette Macauley were taken by Mrs. Mann who played the part of Mother; Mrs. Carl Widney as Emilie, Mrs. William Richardson, Bess; and Mrs. George Emrich "Bobs, a regular boy of twelve." The last play to be given, "Mrs. Ulys- ses," written by Mrs. James A. Burrill of 812 Elmwood avenue, is an interest- ing sequel to the heretofore published exploits of the hero of the wooden horse. Ulysses, represented by Miss Sue Osmotherly, is welcomed after his lengthy sojourn by the charming Pene- lope, played by Mrs. Mannerud. The happy reunion is interrupted by Circe, Queen of the Aeaean Islands, played by Mrs. John Boddie. But the domestic en- tanglements are smoothed out to a happy conclusion when the little slave, played by Jean Fisher, is presented to Pene- lope. The plays were directed by Miss Maud Miner, and the costumes and accessor- ies were designed by Mrs. A. J. Coburn. The Warble Storage company fur- nished, free of charge, a part of the stage equipment. All of those taking part in the three plays were well chosen, for their acting showed talent as well as training. Due to the very auspicious start, it is planned to build up a department of Dramatics in the club in order to furnish an opportunity for the many talented members to further cultivate artistic ex- pression. This expression may "develop along various channels, not merely in playing a part but in the creation of costumes and stage settings. Tina Mae Haines, Judge Hugo Pam Share Program EXT Wednesday, March 12, is Club day at the Wilmette Wom- an's club. Two speakers of note will address the members in the morn- ing and afternoon. Tina Mae Haines, a member of the faculty of the Sher- wood Music school, will appear before the club on that morning at 11 o'clock. The subject of her lecture will be "The Appreciation of Good Music." Being a fine musician as well as a lecturer, she is thoroughly familiar with her subject, and is a popular speaker before many clubs. Each week for the past four years she has lectured before the Chi- cago Aid on the programs of the Chi- cago Symphony orchestra. During the interval between the morn- ing and afternoon program, luncheon will be served. At 2 o'clock Judge Hugo Pam will talk on a timely and urgent question "Immigration." From his wide experi- ence as judge of the Superior court, from his work with the Maxwell Street settlement and from the knowledge gained from his travels a few years ago through Hungary, Czecho-Slovakia, Ru- mania, Poland, Lithuania, Austria, and Germany, where he studied immigration conditions, he is well able to discuss this problem.

La Salle St., Chicago The Packard-Six has proved how unwise it is to balance price against price in the purchase of a motor car. The fact that the Packard-Six costs no more to own and operate than cars selling for $1000 less, that it lasts years longer, and gives so much more in return, is rapidly adding to the thousands of Packard owners.
