4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1925 OFFER CLAVILUX CONCERT JAN. 26 Color-Organ to Be Heard at Evanston The Clavilux, or color-organ, the invention of Thomas Wilfred, which aroused so much interest when shown here last year at the Skokie school, crowding the auditorium to the doors, and with many turned away, will again be presented in recital by Mr. Wilfred next Monday evening, Jan- uary 26, at the Evanston Country club, which was secured by Rachel Busey Kinsolving, local manager. for the re- cital, because of its larger capacity. The recital is open to the public. The Clavilux is the first instrument to make possible the development of light as a fine art. Though resem- bling a pipe organ it plays in color instead of tone. On a white screen in a darkened hall, beautiful color forms appear, assuming ever changing shapes, with one exquisite hue melt- ing into another, glowing into vivid- ress and fading away. With its silent compositions thrown upon a screen, although apparently into infinite space, moving color is made to assume texture, depth, form, and rhythm at the absolute command of the artist at the keyboard. FEth- ereal it is, and because of its ethereal- ity it stirs the imagination as no other art has done. To those who saw the Clavilux last year, the development of the .instru- ment during the intervening months will be absolutely amazing. The Clav- ilux compositions before were abstract in form and manner, the mind could not associate the gorgeous coloring and rhythmic harmonies with familiar objects. The New Clavilux plays both tangible and abstract compositions, to many of which definite titles are given. "Thus one group is entitled "Fairy Ta'e Suite," and is in three parts. In one of these, "A Tale of the Orient," one feels immediately the mystic atmos- phere of the Orient in the bizarre colors and the unique forms. In a "Tale of the Deep Sea," the undulat- ing motion of moving color gives an impression of drifting through the watery depths of a gorgeous southern sea; while in a "Tale of 'the' Forest," 'one is walking among huge trees, now and then coming upon a vista of trop- ical flowers or seeing tiny fairy "eveatures. y - 'There is another group of absolute humor, as well as a group of Clavilux settings for fantastic stage effects. Yet another strangely beautiful com- position is called "Joy." ~ Altogether the program shows marvelous advances in the control of concrete forms, as well as! rich combination in abstract form, movement, tempo, and color harmon- izations. The possibilities of the new instrument, which has five manuals instead of the three last year, are ab- solutely limitless. To those who have never seen the Clavilux recitals, the awe and thrill experienced upon first viewing it, will never be forgotten, and to those who viewed it last year the recent remark- able developments will astonish and amaze. Mr. Wilfred will present the Clavilux in recital at Mandel hall, University of Chicago next Tuesday evening after it has been shown in Evanston. TOWNS MAY FIGHT RAIL RATE INCREASE (Continued from page 1) road come reports of bitter opposition to the proposed increase and determin- ation to fight it to the end. Oak Park has taken steps to this effect and one town far out on the Galena division has announced its unalterable opposition to the plan and has appropriated $500 to carry on a fight against it. Evanston is opposing it vigorously and it is under- stood that the city council there has passed a resolution to fight the increase. The date of the hearing on the petition for the increase, filed with the Illinois Commerce commission last week by the railroad, has not yet been announced. Until this hearing no action can be taken by the various organizations op- posing the rate increase. A prominent official of a north shore village has suggested that commuters send in directly to the State Commerce Commission, Springfield, Illinois, letters expressing their individual attitude re- garding the proposed rate increase. This plan might prove particularly effective he says inasmuch as the officials them- selves would be benefitted by knowing the feeling entertained by the people at large. DISCUSS BIBLE SUBJECTS John Huddle will direct the discus- sions of the Young People's society in its meeting at Community House, Sunday evening at 6:45 o'clock. The society devotes its meetings to the consideration of Bible subjects. Mrs. W. A. Barr of 765 Foxdale ave- is recovering from an accident she suf- fered when she slipped and fell on the ice.

Padlocks Alleged Moonshine Sales Place After a fight of three years, the Win- netka police department seems about to win another round against Mrs. Cesare Ragghainti ,when the door to the down- stairs portion of her home at 995 Linden avenue will be padlocked Monday, Jan- vary 26, in accordance wih a year's in- junction issued by Federal Judge J. H. Wilkerson last Friday. Judge Wilkerson ordered the doors padlocked at the request of the United State's district attorney after Mrs. Rag- ghainti had been found guilty of selling wine in her' rooming' house. This is not the first time the Ragghainti family has encountered police interference, for, as long ago as November 1921, an injunc- tion was issued closing the poolroom of Cesare Ragghainti for a year. It has been since that time that Mr. Ragghainti died, but the selling of illicit beverages has continued, according to the police. Chief Petersen, in comment- ing on the case, said that over $1,200 had been spent by the village merely in ob- taining evidence in the case. He ex- pressed a determination to see that no liquor shall be illegally sold in Winnetka and for that reason requested the in- junction. THE LILAC Tea Room 576 Lincoln Ave. WINNETKA, ILL.
