ER RRR == 5 vem WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1924 15 JUICY BAIT FOR EARLY GOLFERS And if They Bite they're Sure to Come Back for More, Says Bachman NORTHWESTERN OPEN New Course Ready and no Charge for a While "We won't take a, red cent for greens fee until we are ready to give the pub- lic what it is entitled to in the way of a golf course," stated Harry M. Bach- man, chairman of the Sports and Past- imes committee, in speaking of the new Northwestern Public Golf course in the Forest Preserve. "We have been work- ing for over a year in developing the Northwestern and have only the finish- ing touches to give it. That, plus a few warm sunshiny days, will put it in the best of condition. The fairways are now solidly sodded and rolled and need only the last smoothing. The grass is in good condition on the greens and win- tered in good shape. Less than 30 days of growing weather will put the fair- ways in the 'pink' of condition." Invite Play Inspection "What we want to do now," continues Mr. Bachman, "is to get every golfer familiar with the course before our grand Twa Day Jubilee opening tour- nament in May when we start thé sea- son with a bang. This event is to set amateur course records at which to shcot at the balance of the year. There will be events for everybody, with a string of prizes--24 for men and 12 for wom- en--that will make you gasp, for the tailenders as well as the leaders." "This is a golf club feature which is open to all golfers of Wilmette," Chair- man Bachman announces. "The season membership fee is $36 for men and wom- en with unlimited play privileges. This summer we expect to have some Wil- mette citizens and their guests; a full day's play with special prizes given by the Northwestern management." Full-Sized Course "The Northwestern is a full-sized golf course (over 6400 yards) available to Wilmette and all north shore people and | easily reached by motor car, bus, or by the Evanston Street railway at Central street," Mr. Bachman explains. "We are mightly lucky to have this big, fine golf club almost at our door. All T can say 1s, go out and see it for yourself | A temporary club house and profession- al's shop will be built with accommoda- tions for both men and women. Light luncheon service will be provided on every golfing day. The auto route to the course is: Wilmette avenue to Ridge avenue thence south to Church street, Evanston, thence west to Chica- go river. This is the western half of the course. By rail, the golfer pro- ceeds to the west terminus of the Ev- anston-Glenview car line. Local Firemen Save New House at Kenilworth A house under construction at 127 Robsard road, Kenilworth, which is the property of W. H. Andersen of Evanston, was partly demolished by fire early Wednesday morning of last week. The structure was almost ready for occupancy, and it is thought that spontaneous combustion was re- sponsible for the conflagaration. The Winnetka and the Wilmette fire departments were called on for assistance, and by their quick work the blaze was confined to the second story which was completely burned out. NORTH SHORE GIRLS HEAD COLLEGE CAST Miss Rachel Almeda Foster, daugh- ter of Stephen A. Foster, of Winnetka, will fill the role of Celanta, in "Old Wives Tale," also Miss Margaret Boyden, daughter of William C. Boyd- en, of Winnetka, will fill the role of Rixus, in "Lady of the May," two of the Elizabethan plays to be presented by the students of Bryn Mawr col- lege at the sixth quadrennial May Day Festival on May 9 and 10, on the col- lege grounds just outside Philadelphia. The festival will be attended by 10,- 000 alumnae and other friends of the college from all sections of the coun- try. The proceeds will be applied to the Music Endowment and Students' Auditorium Fund. The Maypole dance, hallowed tradi- tion of Bryn Mawr college, will be- come one of the lesser features among the galaxy of events to be given on Friday and Saturday, May 9 and 10. The pageant of all players will enter the college green in a col- orful picture with every student in costume. Miss May Morrill Dunn, of Chicago, in the role of Robin Hood, will crown as Queen of the May Miss Margaret Wylie, of Washington, D. C., who was voted the most beautiful zirl in the college. The Music Endowment and Stu- dents' Auditorium fund was recently begun to provide funds for perpetuat- ing and broadening the department cf music and to provide an auditorium with adecuate capacity for student dramatics and other entertainments.

MUENZER WINS PLAUDITS HERE Final Concert of the Season Scores Heavily By CRITIC The evening of Monday, April 21, was a little wet but not by any means wet enough to dampen the desire of north shore music lovers, for they turned out in surprising numbers to hear the closing concert of the Little Symphony orchestra for the season of 1923-24. At 8:15 o'clock the as- sembly hall of New Trier high school was packed with an audience hungry for good music. The first number, not on the pro- gram, was a speech by H. B. Mulford, president of the Orchestral associa- tion, in which he urged the members of the association to sign up for next year's series; he also gave opportun- ity for others to add their names to the waiting list. Mr. Mulford stirred up a ripple of applause by announcing that the treasury showed a surplus of about $7. Then came the first regular number, the celebrated Bach-Abert "Prelude, Choral and Fugue." The second mem- ber of this composition, 'the Choral, was much loved by the late Theodore Thomas, and because of this fact has been played several times on Thomas Memorial programs. It was a supreme moment in the playing of this piece when the brasses superimposed the Choral on the tremendous fugue. Schumann's First Symphony follow- ed. Schumann called this his "spring symphony." He wrote to his friend, Wenzel, "I have during the last few days finished, in sketch at least, a labor which filled me with joy, which has also exhausted me. Just think of it, a whole symphony, and, what is more, a spring symphony." George Dasch's men played this vernal effusion in a way to fill the audience with joy; in fact he was obliged to add an encore, Grieg's "Last Spring," written for strings alone. When the genial director said that he hoped it would not be the orchestra's "last spring," on the north shore he added a not unwelcome Dasch of humor. Have you never heard Hans Muen- zer, violinist? To us his playing of last Monday was scarcely short of a miracle. How anyone can draw out from four strings with only the aid of horse-hair such beautiful tones as this music-master does goes far be- vond our comprehension. He played double stops, trills, presto runs and melting low tones with unmatchable skill and feeling. He presented a concerto written by his former teach- er, Hans Sitt, a composition of no little merit. The program, and with it a red- letter year for north shore music, closed with the playing of a symphonic poem written by Jean Sibelius, "RAILROAD" CAR A Buick touring car, the property of John C. Everett, who resides at the North Shore hotel, Evanston, was stolen while parked near the New Trier High school Monday afternoon, 'and was found in Kenilworth Tuesday morning where it had been abandon- ed.
