HOLD POST OFFICERS NIGHT Winnetka chapter, Number 943, O. E. S, will hold its Post Officers meeting on Monday night, July 9, at the Masonic Temple at 7:30. All mem- bers of the order are invited to be present, as it will be the last meeting until August 27. Lt is, after all, the engine that puts these cars ahead Why do two cars dominate the fine car field? Why are these two cars more complimented by adaptations of their design and furnish- ings than any other? It is because Cadillac and La Salle offer more in everything that assures owner pride and satisfaction. And because there is no other car with such an engine as the famous 90-degree, V-type, 8-cylinder, built by Cadillac exclusively for Cadillac and La Salle cars. Volume con- stantly growing makes lower prices possible without sacrificing one pennyweight in value. La Salle prices, $2350 to $2875. Cadillac prices, $3295 to $3950. All prices f. o. b. Detroit. ADILLAC and [LA SALLE Powered exclusively with the famous Cadillac 90-degree, V-type, 8-cylinder engine CADILLAC MOTOR CAR COMPANY EVANSTON BRANCH 1810 Ridge Avenue, Evanston Discovers New Instrument in the Old Guitar Andres Segovia, Spanish guitarist, will be presented next season as solo- ist in the fourth of the artist recitals sponsored by the Winnetka Music club. Segovia has discovered a new instru- ment to the music lovers through his versatile technique which makes it a complete musical instrument. He has proved the guitar an instrument of ex- traordinary variety and beauty, capable of commanding the respect of the most uncompromising of musicians. On the guitar, Segovia can play trills, scales, arpeggios, and chords as well as on a harp. His performance is far removed from the tinkle of the Hawaiian. His programs favor Bach and in- clude Grieg, Schubert, and some of the 104 guitar pieces composed by Paganini during his three year retirement on an island. He also plays compositions by Fernando Sor, a Spanish guitarist of the early nineteenth century. The compositions for the piano and violin he transcribes himself. Lawrence Gilman, the music critic, says of Segovia's artistry: "His most remarkable achievement is in the de- livery of polyphonic passages, which sing from his guitar with the clarity and independence of movement that one looks for only in the performance of keyboard or vocal or instrumental music, and this clarity of utterance is paired with a beauty and plasticity of nuance which could not be easily overpraised." Segovia is a Spaniard, born in Gra- nada, and has played the guitar pro- fessionally since he was 15. He is now 31 years of age. Although he has studied the theory of counterpoint and harmony, he has never taken guitar lessons. He toured America for six weeks last year and will visit the north shore under the auspices of the Winnetka Music club on his return next season.
