The pantomines offer astype of enter- tainment seldom seen an this country. Madame Alberti, who has trained some of the leading actors of the American stage, gives pantomine in the strict sense of the word. That is, the whole story is told by bodily gesture and facial expres- sion. The lack of words requires a type of art in the actors which is far more difficult than the usual drama. Action is the continuous demand which she makes of her players. Ad Only in her pantomine of certain scenes from Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream," does Mme. Alberti de- part from this standard. Finding the in the scenes used for this pantomine, Mme. Alberti could not resist the temp- tation to add a bit of caricature to his Jesting over Pyramus and Thisbe. In this scene, Pyramus tells the gist of the action as it is carried out. Alberti pantomines are accompanied at all times by music, the action and the music being so synchronized that the rhythmical and dramatic effect is quite different from any other forms of story- telling. a The afternoon program will consist of The Doll's Adventures," "The Mid- summer Night's Dream" and shorter novelties for the youngsters, while the evening is devoted to three pantomines which recently won immediate re-en- gagement from Columbia university. Miss Douglas Whitehead, supervisor of dramatic work in the elementary schools, who spent the Christmas holi- days in New York, says of Mme. Alberti : "No finer work of its kind is being done in this country. Every child in the schools should have the privilege of wit- nessing at least one, if not both, of the programs. Pantomine, which is seen here in its perfection, fs at the bottom of the dramatic work which we are doing e offered tothe children." Lrincipai © Willard Beatty, of the mission charges be made such that every child from the lower grades through the high school, can find it possible to attend. This has not been easy, and involves considerable risk, which the dramatic department of the school has guaran- teed--for in order to cut the prices, it will be necessary to fill every seat in Jane Kuppenheimer hall to meet ex- penses. Mr. Beatty believes that, in view of the nature of the attraction, every child will want to attend and should have the opportunity. The tickets will be on sale the first of next week at the offices of the four Winnetka schools. The engagement of February 10 will be the only one on the north shore this year. PROPOSE MUSIC STUDY CLASSES FOR SCHOOLS A meeting of the Parent-Teacher association of the Skokie school has been called for Tuesday evening, Jan- uary 27, at 8 o'clock. The subject for discussion is a new plan for supply- ing the children with a training in the understanding and appreciation of music. So many of the ordinary school problems are being studied and profit- ably solved in the Winnetka schools, that it is felt by many to be time that some attention be turned to aesthetic experiences. Mrs. P. B. Kohlsaat, supervisor of music in the public schools, and Wil- lard Beatty, principal of the Skokie school, will present plans for further work in music, which should interest the parents of every child in the school. The success of the "go to school" evening during the fall term has prompted the chairmen of the P. T. A. to arrange that teachers will be in their class rooms for a half-hour be- fore the main program, so that parents may have the opportunity of meeting and talking with them. The class room, conferences will begin at 7:30; the discussion at 8. Perry Dunlap Smith to Address Evening Group By M. S. K. At the last meeting of the Winnetka Sunday evening club the Rev. Rudolph Hertz gave an interesting and instructive talk on the missionary work being carried on among the Sioux Indians. He not only explained the character of the work, which includes education in var- ious branches, but spoke at length of the difficulties of the Indian in adjusting himself to civilization. He recalled to his audience that it was only 50 years, or very little more, since the Indian was living his wild nomadic life. and showed how radical all the changes are to which he must adjust himself. Mr. Hertz re- cited a hymn in the Indian language and gave some interesting anecdotes illustrat- ing the Indian's point of view. The club is very grateful to Mr. Hertz and hopes to entertain him again at some future date. The speaker for tomorrow evening will be Perry Dunlap Smith, principal of he North Shore Country Day school. His talk is entitled "Saunderson and Ountle." Tt is hoped that everybody will be there promptly at 6:30 o'clock so that those wishing to hear the lecture by Mr. Richards later in the evening may do so. Supper will be served as usual. MEMORIAL FLOWERS The flowers provided for the serv- ices at the Winnetka Congregational church this Sunday morning will be in memory of Miss Lucinda Trussell, a former member of the church. They will be furnished by a niece, Mrs. Reta Trussell Chatham of Montreal, Can.

It's an awful feeling to awaken to the realization that you are not prepared for Christmas giving, for giving brings a joy to the giver as well as to the receiver. Make sure that you'll have a check coming to you in 1925 by laying the foundation of your account at once. You'll do that if you were a 1924 member because you've been convinced of the wisdom of the move.

It cannot be denied that Bennie and his "sax" are national favorites. Through his Brunswick Records and per- sonal appearances as well, Krueger reigns as one of the most popular orchestra leaders in the country. Krueger has established for himself and orchestra a reputation upon which every dealer should capitalize.
