> WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1923 Woman's Club Season Closes With Songs by Floy Bartlett HE Music department of the | Winnetka Woman's club held its last meeting for the year in the clubhouse on Tuesday afternoon, of last week. The department pres- entend Mrs. Floy Little Bartlett, com- poser, who was most ably assisted by Mrs. Guy Stuart Bailey, Mrs. Har- vey I. Brewer, Mrs. Asa B. Cooley, Mrs. W. Hansel and Mrs. Clifford B. Ewart. Mrs Bartlett is a gifted musician who has lately moved to Winnetka from the Fast. Her first interest be- gan with the study of the violin, which she pursued in New York and Paris. Her song writing is a com- paratively recent venture, having been begun since her marriage. During the past winter, Mrs Bartlett has given many recitals of her composi- tions on and about Chicago, for va- rious clubs. She possesses a charm- ing personality and a gracious man- ner, which are reflected in her music. In a short talk preceding the pro- gram, Mrs. Bartlett said that from a composer's music, the public ob- tains a good idea of what her views are on philosophy, religion and life. She said that if anyone thought her music was all of the joyous kind, it was because her life so far had been a happy one. There is much variety in Mrs. Bart- lett's songs, varying from the relig- ious in "I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes," the imaginative in "My Fidil Is Sing- ing," the historical in "The Song Miniatures," and the love song in "Sweet Little Woman O'Mine." This song, which has been used in recital by Karleton Hackett, Geraldine Far- rar, Evan Williams and John B. Wells, was repeated at the conclusion of the program. The "Historical Song Miniatures" were the most unique on the program. Mrs. Bartlett wrote them for her own children to sing, as she wanted them to remember certain facts about the old composers. So there are songs about Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beeth- oven, Mendelssohn and Handel which some time bring bits of their music in the accompaniments. The verses are original as well as the music. Mrs. Bartlett's songs have been used with great success in the East. The Rubenstein chorus in New York sang "The Swing" a number of times. "Nynken, Blynken and Nod" was sung by a chorus of thousand chil- dren at Ocean Grove with Mr. Tali- Essen Morgan condurting, and Kitty Cheatham, herself a writer of songs, has interpreted some of the children's songs on recitals in New York. Last January, several groups of Mrs. Bart- lett's songs were sung at one of the Daily News Radio recitals and her music is to be presented at another of their radio concerts on May 22. Mrs. Bartlett's songs were sung by Mrs Guy Stuart Bailey. Mrs. Bailey has a beautiful soprano voice which she used to the best advantage. Her diction was perfect, which added greatly to the enjoyment of the audi- ence. It was with deep regreat that the audience learned that this was Mrs. Bailey's last public appearance in Winnetka as she intended to move to New York. In the few years she lived in Winnetka, Mrs Bailey has made enviable place for herself. The trios which were interpreted by Mrs. Bailey, Mrs. Cooley, and Mrs. Hansel, were lovely and were charm- ingly sung. Mrs. Brewer and Mrs Bartlett with Mrs Ewart at the piano played two groups of violin duets which were very melodious composition and most delightfully played. This closing recital was one of the most pleasant of the year and the presence of the composer of the music, Mrs. Bartlett, helped to create a de- lightful atmosphere.

"Alias Larkie" has been claiming Mr. Mendenhall's attention for more than a year. It is a melodrama of the murder mystery type, and declared by critics to be Mr. Mendenhall's best effort. Mr. Mendenhall is remembered best for his "Tangle" and" Order 152" pre- sented at Evanston a few years ago. He is also a well known lecturer on dramatics, a member of the North Shore Theatre Guild, and an accomplished actor in his own right, having been last seen in an important role in "Joan d' Arc."
