WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 ARDEN SHORE IN ANNUAL FROLIC Campers Invite North Shore Residents to Midsummer Festivity IN EUROPEAN SETTING Procession and Dances on Unusual Program North shore residents, young and old, are invited to attend an interest- ing midsummer frolic at the Arden Shore Rest camp on the afternoon of Wednesday, August 20. The program will begin promptly at 3 o'clock. The midsummer frolic will have an European setting with costume repre- sentations from various nations of the old world. There will be the strolling troubadours and the numerous well populated villages in which the song- sters will lend their talents to the gay festivities. All this will take place on the spacious grounds of the camp, the scene presenting a gala spectacle with its festoonings of lanterns and flags of the nations. About twenty of the campers, who hail from Chicago's great melting pot of the nations, will appear as strolling players. Others of the Arden Shore- ites will assume the characters of vil- lagers, such nations as Italy, Poland, Spain, Bohemia and Ireland being represented. "Street" Procession The afternoon's activities will be in- augurated with a parade and stunts through the "streets" of the villages. Next, there will be exhibitions of rare interest in the Arden Shore Arcade to be located in the camp recreation hall. Among the novelties will be living pictures, exhibits of antiques and relics, a chamber of horrors, a snake charmer and numerous freaks, rare animal specimens and a famous band. The frolic proper will prove unusual- ly absorbing to the visitors. Here will be kindergarten children as dancing animals, older girls in specialty dances entitled "a morning dance around the fountain" and "the statues that came ~~ to life," a popular race characterized Be as "hanging up the Slorhesy well ances including a scaci dance, wig folk 3 ey an ox dance and an "Ace of Diamonds" dance. As a direct result of such enter- tainments as the midsummer frolic, interest in Arden Shore activities has become widespread throughout the north shore communities. A recent basket picnic, for example, added six new cottages and a bathroom to the camp equipment. Two of the cot- tages were provided by Mrs. J. Mec- Gregor Adams of Highland Park; a cottage and new bathroom for the camp hospital were donated by Mrs. George R. Thorne of Lake Forest, and Mrs. Alfred T. Carton of Lake Forest, Mrs. Edgar W. Burchard of Kenil- worth and Mrs. Theodore I.. Osborne each donated a cottage. Noted Lawyer Joins N. U. Law Faculty Dean John H. Wigmore, head of Northwestern university law school, an- nounces the addition to the school's fac- ulty of Prof. Edward Franklin Alberts- worth, professor of law at Western Re- serve university, Cleveland, and in 1921-22, dean of the law school of the University of Wyoming. In 1923, Prof. Albertsworth taught on the summer school faculty at Northwestern and achieved the distinction of making such a favorable impression upon the students that a petition was sent Dean Wigmore "to secure his services at the first oppor- tunity." The new Northwestern professor was born in 1890 and has obtained various degrees and university honors. From George Washington univesrsity he re- ceived the degree of A. B., A. M. and Ph. D. and, in 1920, LL.B. He attend- ed Chicago university during four quar- ters of 1914, '15, '16, and '18 and was at Johns Hopkins the fall of 1917. He was awarded the degree, S. J.
