14 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1924 MUSICAL PROGRAMS IN FAVOR AS CLUB SEASON OPENS "The Neighbors" Embark upon an Active Club Year ADAME Sara Anderson Regneas, dramatic soprano, with Madame Ella Spravka at the piano, opened the club calendar of the year ior "The Neighbors." The rooms were filled to capacity and the mem- bers listened to one of the most artis- Lo orugrams ever given in Kenilworth. Mme. Regneas is an artist to her fin- ger tips, reminding one of Mme. Johan- na Gadski, who happens to be one of her most intimate friends. She has a most charming personality and it was a delight to meet her, to enjoy her perfect diction as well as to listen to the ar- tistic interpretation of her songs. The club is greatly indebted to Mrs. Ernest Fleishman, chairman of the music department, for this splendid opening number. The second meeting will occur on Oc- tober 23, when the club will present the Honorable Woodbridge N. Ferris of Michigan, at 8 o'clock in the evening. The meeting will be open to members and their friends, and no one should miss this unusual opportunity just be- fore election to hear such a representa- tive speaker as Senator Ferris. His subject will be "The Restoration of American Homes." On Thursday, October 16, at 10:15 o'clock in the morning, at Mrs. Crea- sap's home, the art and literature de- partment will open its course of study. This is the most popular of the depart- ments of the club and the meetings are very largely attended. Mjrs. Harry Har- rison is chairman of this department and for a second year has arranged the programs, the first of which will be giv- en by Miss Claudia Upton of the Chi- cago Art institute on "The Italian School." Everyone is urged to affiliate with this department and enjoy the ex- cellently planned program as outlined in the year book. Interesting Program Planned for Wilmette HE music department of the Woman's Club of Wilmette an- nounces a very attractive program for next Wednesday morning, October 22, at 11 o'clock. Mrs. Harold B. Mar- yott, who has appeared at the club sev- eral times, will give an interpretation of "Madame Butterfly" illustrated with vocal selections by Jewell Martin Lovejoy. It behooves the opera goers to avail themselves of the opportunity to obtain a better understanding and appreciation of "Madame Butterfly," one of the masterpieces of the operas. Guests are welcome at the usual fee. Dr. Richard Burton will speak on "The Social Significance of the The- atre" before the Woman's club on Oc- tober 22, at 2 o'clock. Dr. Burton is head of the English de- partment of the University of Minneso- ta and is a well known authority on the drama, having been president of the Drama League of America and a mem- ber of the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures. His wide experi- ence as a teacher, editor, poet, and play- wright gives him a sympathetic attitude towards human nature and has won for him a reputation of being one of the most interesting lecturers on the Amer- ican platform. Next Meeting of Library Club Thursday, Oct. 23 HE Woman's Library Club of Glencoe is holding its second meet- ing October 23, at 2:30 o'clock, in the club rooms at the Hawthorn school. A musical program will be given by Mrs. Helen Wile Burkhardt, mezzo- soprano, a well known resident of the north shore, and Miss Florence Brink- man, a young pianist of rare ability, who has appeared with wonderful suc- cess in recitals, and as soloist with Sym- phony orchestras in Germany and Hol- land. She was studying in Berlin when the World war broke out. Since her return in 1919 to the land of her birth, each season has added to the ma- turity of her art and ever growing suc- cess. Miss Ruth March Egge of New York will deliver a lecture on "The Historical and Cultural Role of Solid Silver," sketching its history and illustrating her story with rare museum pieces that it is a privilege to see. Someone has called old silver "links of history," so faithfully does it portray the spirit of the age from which it comes. Miss Egge takes her hearers back to the first crude beginnings of the craft, follows it through the splendid achievements of Tudor, England, and its fine flowering in the France of the Louis' to the beau- tiful restraint of our own Colonial Prominent Civic Worker Given Responsible Task PON the recommendation of the Russell Sage Foundation, Miss Helen A. Montegriffo of Hubbard Woods has been appointed Chief of Social Case Consultation in the newly organized Department of Public Wel- fare in the State of New Mexico. For the past five years Miss Monte- griffo has served the Woman's City Club of Chicago in various capacities, Miss Helen Montegriffo as ward secretary, civic 'director, treas- urer, and member of the board of di- rectors. In these positions Miss Monte- griffo has been an effective force in the civic life of Chicago and Cook County. She will be particularily remembered for the impetus she has given to the syste- matic study of government among women's organizations.

ELEANOR BRAND BIRD SEED A song in every seed. Glencoe Library Club | HE opening meeting of the Wom- an's Library Club of Glencoe was held Thursday evening, October 9, in the Union church. Autumn foliage of gorgeous coloring decorated the church where the president and officers of the club received the members and their guests. To the on-lookers it seem- ed that the largest gathering of the club's existence was in attendance. Near- ly all of the 136 members taken in dur- ing the membership drive were present, as well as members of the Men's club who were especially invited guests. Mrs. William A. Fox concluded her most gracious welcome, to the new members, especially, with the poem quoted in the October bulletin, "What Is a Woman's Club?" as an expression of what she hoped the club meant to every one of its members. Refreshments and a social hour in the church parlors followed us musical pro- gram given by four artists. Monica Graham Stults, soprano, ac- companied by Harriet Rutledge, gave a number of songs most pleasingly, one of which, "Sheep and Lambs" by Homer, so impressed the audience that she was requested to repeat it. Miss Wally Heymar, violinst, with Arthur Becker at the piarnu, also ap- peared on the program. 'lhe outstund- ing feature of the evening was the play- ing of Miss Heymar who is reiresh- ingly young and attractive, and ex- tremely talented, and who responds most generously to encores. Sie is without doubt one of the most finished artists ever heard in Glencoe. The club is to be congratulated on having so efficient a music chairman in Mrs. George E. Orr, a comparatively new member of the club who was re- sponsible for the exceptionally fine pro- gram, which follows: PART ONE Monica Graham Stults, Soprano Harriet Rutledge, at the piano Wally Heymar, Violinist Arthur C.

We shall be pleased to confer with you Winnetka League Holds Enthusiastic Meeting O many members of the Winnetka League of Women Voters came to the first meeting of the year held last Monday, that extra chairs and tables had to be hastily provided to accommodate all. The meeting was held in the Legion room at Community House. Lunch- eon was served at 12:30 to more than 80 women. The president, Mrs. Walter Benson, eager to avoid the usual dragging on qf after-luncheon meetings, handled the meeting with such dispatch, that the speaking be- gan shortly after 1 o'clock. Mrs. William Hibbard, fourth re- gional director of the National league, and an active worker in the Winnetka league, gave the welcoming address, expressing her great satisfaction in working for the league, not only be- cause of the value of the work, but also because of the very high calibre of the women whom the league had attracted to its membership all over the United States, with whom she has had the pleasure of working. The address of the day was made by Miss Esther Dunshee of the Illinois Bar, who outlined the pros and cons of the issues in Illinois, namely the gateway amendment, the two banking acts, the canal lease, and the bond bill. Miss Dunshee also called attention to the fact that at the last president- ial election, for every 100 voters who went to the polls in Illinois, 65 eligible voters stayed at home. In short, she stated that the stay-at-homes are so numerous that if they should go to the polls they would have the power to turn an election. Miss Dunshee closed her speech with a stirring plea to go to the polls. Nor is it sufficient, she believes, for the people to vote from a grinding sense of duty or from a desire to ob- tain personal benefits from the govern- ment. For, she says, "Until the mass of the people vote because they love their country, we shall not have the kind of government we ought to have in the United States." At the close of this speech, the meeting adjourned 4s a smaller room where a brief business meeting was held, and the league's plans for the year outlined by the heads of the standing committees. At 2:30 o'clock, Mrs. Walter Dodd held the first of her classes in citizen- ship with about 50 women in attend- ance. These classes will be held un- der League auspices once a month throughout the early part of the winter.

All Little Neck, Long Island, resi- dents who could, turned out to watch a medieval costume ball on the shores of their bay. The bay shore had been transformed into Lake Maggiore, Italy. with silk lanterns, old barges, and festons for scenes in Bebe Dan- iels' starring picture for Paramount, "Dangerous Money," which comes to McVickers, anniversary week, starting Monday, October 20. The stage and screen productions of "Tarnish" and "Welcome Stranger" can be seen during thir runs in Chi- cago. These are fine opportunities to compare the "movies" and "speakies." Jackie Coogan is finding a great deal of beautiful scenery for future backgrounds in later films, on his trip in Europe.
