BERNIE'S 1623 Orrington Ave. Tel. University 8998 Plan 1929 Uptown Matinee Programs; 1928 Great Success Uptown Chicago has definitely gone into the show business as part of its promotional plans. This is a most amazing innovation among community boosting plans. This year the five Uptown Civic Matinees, at the Aragon, just com- pleted with the last matinee February 26, has proved such a gratifying suc- cess that Uptown Chicago is planning a similar series for next year. The dates of these next year matinees are not as yet announced, but it is tenta- tively planned that they will follow very much after the popular series of this season. Much speculation was rife as to whether or not certain experiments in connection with this series would prove satisfactory. For the first time in the history of Uptown, the Aragon was chosen for community entertain- ments. As this is the largest hall of its kind on the north side, as well as the most beautiful and elaborate, it was doubtful if the hall could be filled. However, for the first matinee, a con- cert given by Madame Muzio of the Chicago Civic Opera company, the Aragon was filled to capacity and over- flowing. Fach following matinee the hall was most gratifyingly full, with the Will Rogers performance, the fourth matinee, again having a con- siderable overflow. A much greater variety was offered this season than ever before. The classic Russian dancer, Vera Mirova, who presents startlingly interesting interpretations of Oriental dances, was a departure from the usual musical numbers. So keen was the interest in her performance that dancers will un- doubtedly be featured on future pro- grams. Will Rogers, the humorist, was a de- cidedly new step. The enthusiasm with which his matinee was greeted leaves no room for doubt as to the advisa- bility of featuring such a matinee an- other season. Jose Echaniz, the Cuban pianist, who was early introduced to Chicago through Uptown concerts, proved a great drawing card. The music critics were very emphatic in their praise of his concert. Francis Macmillen, the popular violinist, Glenn Drake, Mary McCormic, Fritz Renk, and the Woman's Symphony orchestra, under the leadership of Ethel Leginska, all contributed to making this series as high class a group of entertainments as ever was offered in Chicago. Miss Virginia Wallace and her mother, Mrs. Walter F. Wallace of 815 Mt. Pleasant road, will sail Mon- day, March 12, on the Roma for a three months' trip to Europe which will include a motor trip through Italy, Paris, Sicily, and London.
