He studied theatrical ' and scenic arts h Dr. Nicholas Roerich, one of foremost European stage artists. has worked in scenic studios itt rograd and in Finland, and was nt artist for the Swedish Opera c \ sin~for s. He has been in this ntry two years during which time "· ' ~ directed and produred many \\" hln to !\cratch their hallots this year. The prqcedurc is simple. Advice urging ·a complicated method should he disregarded. Th e Yoter should put a cross in the circle at the top of the ticket after the name of the partv which he intends to support. ln ·the col umn of the other party he should indicate with a cross the names onlv of those candidates of that par.ty for which he casts his ballot. His ,·ote will then be counted for all the candidates of the party which he is supporting, with the exception of those which · he has marked in the other column. The same procedure applies to all offices except those for whic'h the \'Oter chooses two Ot" more candidates, as in the case of trustees of the Sanitary District. In that case, if the voter chooses candidates from the opposing party. he must mark in both columns the names or' ALL the candidates for that particular office for whom he wishes to cast his vote. Failure to do this will di squalify his vote so far as that particular office is concerned.

The recital will be presented in the New Trier hiah 1 school auditorium. · Gabrilowitsch was born in Petrograd in 1878. His brotheTs were musical and one of them was his first teacher. Later he was taken to Mton Rubinstein, who was so deepty impressed by his ability that lie earnestly urged his career as a virtuoso.

Deb.t at Ap el 11 In 1896 Gabrilowitsch made his professional debut in Berlin. He was only 18 years of age, but so ' decided was his pianistic ability at he im mediately won th . enthusiastic approval of both a ·ence an~ critics. Following this a9pearance he made many tours in Europe, and in 190() gave his first recital in America. From that time up to the present his. course has been one unbroken series of artistic successes. . In 1918 he became director of the Detroit Symphony orchestra. In this field also he showed himself a master, ao; e\"eryone who heard him lead the Chicago Symphony orchestra some years ago as guest-conductor will readily testify. His work as conductor has not, however, taken him from the recital platform.
