Maj. M. V. Bennett, dean of the ca- dets at Culver Military Academy, will be present and supplement the showing of pictures with a brief talk on the training in these schools which are the largest and most completely equip- ped in America. The Culver pictures, it is announced, include scenes of woodcrafters at mass games, handcraft work, boys slipping down the Tippecanoe river in large war canoes, bird study, and study of trees and plants under expert counsel- ors. There will also be scenes of the midshipmen in their white duck suits sailing various types of boats, partici- pating in exciting races in man-of- war cutters or engaging in athletic work. Special features will include pictures of feats of horsemanship, scenes of cross-country hikes, and aviation work in genuine U. S. Navy NC-9 planes. The pictures of the Culver Summer schools will be shown at the Country club of Evanston on the evening of April 29, at 8 o'clock; at the Union church, Glencoe, May 2; and at the Com- munity House, Winnetka, May 3. These pictures show many unique features of the Culver plan for an or- ganized vacation and will be of interest to every one. Information may be se- cured from the Aide to the Superinten- dent, Culver Summer Schools, Culver, Indiana, it is announced. PARENTS TO WITNESS PUBLIC SCHOOL DRAMA Once a semester the little people of the Elementary schools are promoted to the dignity of a 7:30 evening per- formance with the privilege of having fathers, mothers and friends see their plays. Friday evening, May 2, is the red letter date. Owing to the demand. {for seats the plays will be repeated Satur- day afternoon, May 3. Both perform- ances will be held in the auditorium of Skokie school. It is the object of the Dramatic de- partment to make all of the perform- ances self-supporting, hence a small admission is charged. The proceeds pay for all costumes, properties, stage equipment for the entire semester for all three schools. The children are busy painting, dyeing and sewing costumes, and the shops are turning out shields, spears and properties for the plays. Forty children from Horace Mann school will be seen in an interpefa- tion of Maeterlinck's "Blue Bird." Fifty children will play in "The Chinese Nightingale," an original play with a prologue in Chinese fashion by Douglass Whitehead, and the chil- dren of Greeley and the Hubbard Woods schools will contribute a cast of more than 10 in "The Boy Knight from the Forest," by Stevenson. "The Boy Knight" is a play from the days of King Arthur. The 125 children taking part range from 8 to 12 years in age and have been taken from the third to the sixth grades. On interesting feature is the fact that the children "tried out" for their parts and were elected by their class mates. Leaving Town? If So, Notify Village Hall "Are you going to move?" ask Win- netka's Village officials of Winnetka residents. "The Village manager requests," reads an announcement issued this week, "that residents of the village who are moving this Spring, inform the Village of that fact by telephone or mail as soon as moving arrange- ments have been made, giving the old address, the new address, the date when you will move and where the key to your new home may be ob- tained by the Village service man. "This request is made in order that there may be no interruption of elec- tric, water and garbage and ash re- moval service and that service bills may be rendered to the correct ad- dress. "The telephone number at the Vil- lage office is Winnetka 2196." Mrs. Syme, who was visiting her son, Mr. J. Syme of Laurel avenue, has returned to her home in New- foundland. ---- Mr. and Mrs. William McAdams of Lincoln avenue, announce the birth of a daughter, born April 20, at the Ev- anston hospital. --0---- Fred Hagen of 1386 Scott avenue, returned to the University of Illinois on Monday after being in Winnetka for the spring holidays. listen to the 'LARKS' WILL SING FOR YOU ON TUESDAY By OBSERVER "Nightingales sang yesterday Now the Larks are singing" --and this is what members of the comparatively new Winnetka Choral so- ciety are saying when they sing the "Chorus of Homage." It sounds pre- sumptuous for the singers to class them- selves "as only second "to the nightin- gales but it is not so at all, and if you want to know why it is: not, come and "larks" as they sing in their first concert on Tuesday eve- ning, April 29, at 8 o'clock at the Win- netka Woman's club. Under the able direction of Mr. Noble Cain, it is surprising to see what these people have accomplished in so short a time. If you have not been asked to buy a ticket, just come to the door, pay the small charge, and go in and listen. It is a foregone conclusion that your en- thusiasm will be awakened and apprecia- tive applause will be the result. The most ambitious number sung by the chorus is "The New Earth" by Henry Hadley. The poem to which the music is set is by Louis Syres Garnett, who will read the poem before the sing- ing of the "Ode." The soloists for the evening are Mr. Edwin Wallenborn, pianist; Mrs. Bur- ton Atwood, soprano; Miss Helen Muel- ler, contralto, who sings in the Second Presbyterian church of Chicago; Mr. John Edgar Freeman, bass, and Mr. W. A. Snyder, tenor. Miss Serena Forberg was at home from the University of Wisconsin for spring vacation. She returned to school last week. 556 Center Street "A Little Better for a Little Less" PAINTING AND DECORATING Just call Winnetka 1186 THE NORTH SHORE CO-OPERATIVE PAINTERS Winnetka, Ill.
