bud 2 al WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1924 11 SENATOR FERRIS URGES WO Drama and Music Departments Give Coming Programs HE drama study class of the Winnetka Woman's club, Mrs. E. V. L. Brown, chairman, will meet on Monday, November 3, at 3:30 o'clock in the club parlors to hear Mrs. Ernest Ballard read her paper on "Luigi Pirandello, Con- temporary Italian Dramatist." Pirandello has been writing plays for the Italian stage for a quarter of a century. His name long has been a by-word in Italy and on the whole continent of Europe as well. In fact he has given the name of "Pirandell- ism" to a certain type of psychological study that has greatly intrigued the Latin mind. He is new to this coun- try, however, and it was not until last year that his plays were produced in English in New York. The New York Theatre Guild put on his "Six Characters in Search of an Author," and this play will probably be brought to Chicago by the Guild this winter. _ It is hoped that everyone interested in modern drama will avail herself of the opportunity to hear Mrs. Bal- lard. The music committee of the club announces the second recital ot its department on Thursday afternoon, November 6, at 3 o'clock The pro- gram will be given by Helen Pro- theroe Axtell, soprano; Mrs. Norman Harris accompanist.

Harry Harrison, chairman of the. art and literature de- partment of The Neighbors, announces that Dr. Henry Purmont Eames will give the program at the club, Thursday, November 6. Of the American Conservatory of Music, and lecturer on musical history and esthetics, Dr. Eames will give a lec- ture-recital on "Ultra. Modern Art and Ultra Modern Music." The next meeting of the art and literature department will be held November 13, at the Art institute. William M.

Buehr will ex- plain some of the features of the American Art and Sculpture exhibi- tion. A 1 o'clock luncheon at the Piccadilly Tea Room will conclude the tour. The one evening meeting of the year held on October 23, was most gratifying to the program committee for the large attendance and the in- terest manifested in the inspiriting, positive and stimulating talk given by Senator Woodbridge N. Ferris on "The Restoration of American Homes." Both the men and women were greatly impressed by his plea that the old-fashioned upbringing of children resume its sway in family life and that the home spirit, seem- ingly on the wane in America, be de- veloped. Mrs. Otto Owen, social chairman, served delicious ice, coffee, and cakes to the gathering, one of notable size for Kenilworth. z "Club Day" in Wilmette Offers Special Features ISS Tina Mae Haines, well lecturer on music appreciation, will open the program at the Woman's Club of Wilmette, Wednes- day morning, November 5 at 11 o'clock. She will first describe some of the instruments of a modern symphony orchestra. Then, taking as her subject, the program of the De- cember concert to be given at New Trier by the Little Symphony players, she will discuss each number to be heard at the concert, and will illus- trate the various themes on the piano. Inasmuch as the program will include an overture, a movement from a Cesar Franck symphony, a Liszt Polonaise, and several snites, Miss Haines' dis- cussion will have many phases. From the outset, members of the club have been ardent supporters of the symphony concert movement in New Trier township. Miss Haines' lecture aims to give concert goers a greater insight into orchestral music. Guests are welcome at the usual fee. Luncheon at 1 o'clock will follow the talk. In the afternoon at 2, the first busi- ness meeting of the year will be held, this in turn, to be followed by a lec- ture by Miss Helen Bennett whose subject is "The Keeper of the King's Conscience." Miss Bennett has been allied with politics most of her life, taking a prominent part as a speaker before the women of our state along political and educational lines. For ten years she was manager of the Chicago Collegiate Bureau of Occu- pations and last year was one of the speakers before the Medill School of Journalism. North Shore Vassar Club to Hold Monday Meeting HE North Shore Vassar club will meet on Monday, November 3, at 3 o'clock, at the home of Mrs. Charles B. Fullerton, 819 Lincoln street, Evanston. First Chamber Recital Accorded Warm Approval The 1924-25 season of concerts con- ducted under the auspices of the North Shore Chamber of Music association opened last Sunday afternoon under most favorable conditions. It was a delightful October afternoon; the as- sembly hall was occupied by a large and appreciative audience; the program was well planned ; the artists of the occasion, the Gordon String quartet and Howard Wells, pianist, played with unusual skill, understanding, and feeling. To the writer the first number, Hay- dyn's Quartet in D Major, made the strongest appeal. The four instruments, under the masterful leading of the first violin in the hands of Jacques Gordon, blended their tones into rich and beau- tiful harmony. It was a rare and won- derful experience, the hearing of this great composition as played by four master musicians. The second number, Frank Bridge's arrangement of two old English songs, Zenith Open for Business Evanston's New Radio Shop Catering Entirely to Radio Trade Super Zenith Atwater-Kent Radiola Super Heterodyne Operadio University 5067 TUBES--BATTERIES--LOUD SPEAKERS See the Warren Jr. Loud Speaker--$8.50 Come in and meet us--We are here to please you.
