Writes of Home Life at Dorcas Home in Deerfield One of the children of the Dorcas Home in Deerfield has written the following : "Nothing much has happened at the Dorcas Home this week so I will tell you something of our home life. It seems that not many people are very well acquainted with this subâ€" ject because I am forever being bombarded with questions like this: ‘Do you all eat at one table?‘ ‘Isn‘t there a lot of work?‘; ‘When do you go to bed?", etc. "No, we don‘t all eat at one table, but I am getting ahead of myself. In the morning we are called at 6:15 and everyone makes his own bed. Breakfast is served at 6:45 and we eat at fourlon g tables that can each accommodate ten people. _ After breakfast each one has some work to do. Some clear tables, some do dishes, while others clean various rooms. At 8:20 a.m. the high school people go to school (the bus stops in front of the home) and at 8:30 the grammar school children leave and peace and quiet reign until 12 noon. Then for an hour things hum, but at 1:00 p.m. all is quiet again. Mrs. Joseph Korenin spent last week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. "Supper is served at 5:30 or 6:00 p.m. and after the dishes are done everyone plays or listens to the radio. At seven the nursery children go to bed _ at eight the little boys and girls retire and the high school children go to bed at 9:30. This is a brief outline of a day at Dorcas Home. Becaue art is art, whether in oil, tempera, pastel or metal (Cellini, Michael Angelo and many other old masters worked in all of them), the transition worked no hardship on Jim Hvale‘s artistic bent; indeed it gave a new impetus to it. And that is why the North Shore Art League is pleased to offer this opâ€" nortunity to see how it is done and hear why it is done and to show exâ€" amples of the completed work to all the public off the North Shore. Admission is free to members of the League and a small fee is charged others. Edward Iverson in DeKalb and atâ€" tended the wedding of her cousin, After school the children can do what they want to do. Right now we are thinking about flooding the ball diamond and making an ice pond. (The home is situated on an eight acre tract with ample playâ€" grounds). A graduate of the Art Institute, James Hvale was following his caâ€" reer when the depression clamped a hard hand on it; and since his fathâ€" er was a hobbyist in making things and the younger Hvale was adept in making iron doodads, they pooled hobbies and started out with a partâ€" time business of creating individâ€" ually styled artistic craftwork. Of James Hvale‘s work, a conâ€" temporary magazine remarks, "It is successful because he had no time and could not afford to be ordinary." Mary Fern Miha. Those who have visited the "Orâ€" phans of the Storm‘" have noted the attractive marker on the road; a silhouette of a dog begging for adâ€" mi:sion. This wrought iron work of art is one of the many throughâ€" out Lake and Cook counties that was born of a union of a hobby and a depresson. People are so enthusâ€" iastic about this work that the North Shore Art League is going to see and hear about it at the meetâ€" ing of January 22 at 8 o‘clock in the evening, in the Studio at Comâ€" munity House, Winnetka. James Hvale â€" Pronounced "Valâ€" ley"â€"is the speaker and ironwright, and _ will speak on "Riding a Wrought Iron Hobby." But speaking will not be allâ€"for on a portable forge he will illustrate his work. N. S. Art League To Hear Jas. Hvale Discuss Iron Work "Bedtime" at Dorcas Home Deerfleld Drama Club Rehearses For Second Play February 16 is the date set for the second play of the current semâ€" son of the Stagers. The play to be presented at that time is "Kind Lady," adapted by Edward Chodoâ€" rov from the story by Hugh Walâ€" pole, wellâ€"known English novelist. One of the chief characters of the play is Mary Herries, played by Marion Hyett. Mary Herries is & wealthy, middleâ€"aged woman, whose head is always ruled by her heart, which characteristic is responsible for the difficulties into which she gets herself in the play. Mary Herries is approached one snowy night when she is returning home by a young beggar, Henry Abâ€" bott, played by Aubrey Gould, who asks, "I wonder if I might have a cup of tea on Christmas eve." She takes him home with her, with reâ€" sults which the play shall reveal. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards and their daughter Aggie, portrayed by Jim Tibbetts, Geneva Ritter, and Janice Galloway, respectively, are cockney friends of Henry and provide much comedy. Henry apparently has a wife, Ada, a rather simpleâ€"minded character portrayed by Lois Clark. Phyllis Glenning (Kathleen Galâ€" loway) is Mary Herries‘ niece, and Peter Santard (Jack Covington) is her amusing American fiance. One of Mary‘s closest friends is Lucy Weston, played by Adelaide Alexanâ€" der. Doris Hunter takes the part of Rose, Mary‘s devoted maidâ€" servant. Mr. Foster, played by Jirah Cole, is a banker, without whom the story of the play would never have been told. Anthony Mercurio_ portrays Gustay Rosenberg, a Parisian art dealer, complete with accent, who comes to buy one of Mary‘s priceâ€" less Whistler paintings. James Rusâ€" sell is a doctor whose status is sometimes questionable. The play is under the direction of Kenneth Hunter, and stage manageâ€" ment will be, as usual, handled by Milton Merner. Tickets are now available and may be had from any member of the "Stagers," Deerfield Dramatic club. On Wednesday, January 24, the members of the Illinois Opera Guild will meet at the Arts Club, 400 North Michigan avenue, as guests of the officers and directors to hear the annual report of the president, Mrs. James G.
