32 WINNETKA TALK November 6, 1926 Earnest Group Promotes Art Appreciation on North Shore Art League Now Increasing Scope of Its Activities By MARGERY WINDES Football games may come and foot- ball games may go, June and Septem- ber brides may marry and bridge parties and benefits be given, but artists on the north shore work during the week, and every week-end, to further the appreciation of art on the north shore, and to improve their skill in their own particular branch of art. There are no crowds and frantic cheer-leaders to spur on the members of the North Shore Art league. There are no gate-receipts nor bands to play, but just the urge to paint, draw, sketch or just appreciate. The next meeting of the league, the first one following the exhibit and meeting held at Community House, Winnetka, recently, will be held at Ravinia Community House, Ravinia, Friday, November 19. The Ravinia Sketch club will give an exhibition of work done during the summer. Each week-end this club met and sketched. The members picked up their easels, and went out into the country near Ravinia, and spent Sat- urday afternoons sketching. As the light grew dim, and the pictures chang- ed before them with the setting sun, the afternoon's work was set up in view of each member, and criticized. Collegiate youngsters might have call- ed such an organization a "Truth club." Not only will the exhibition be on display, but the Ravinia Workshop members will present a play written by the Ravinia playwright, Mrs. Lulu Warmington. The play, entitled, "The Skeleton in the Closet," promises to be either very exciting in an adventurous way, decidedly humorous, or both. The program will begin at 8 o'clock. Mem- bers of the club and their guests are invited. Under the direction of an able group of officers, the league is on the way to an exceedingly active year. James Cady Ewell, member of the Ravinia Sketch club and a resident of Ravinia, is president for the coming year. W. T. Jones of Wilmette, active in the work of the Business Men's Art league of Chicago, will serve as vice president. Cora Gould Davies of Winnetka will act as secretary, and Elizabeth Bolden- weck of Wilmette is to be treasurer this year. The board of directors includes rep- resentatives from Lake Forest tor Ev- anston: Harry L. Timmins of Kenil- worth, Frank Peyraud of Ravinia, Rudolph Ingerle of Highland Park, Jesse Smith of Highland Park, Doro- thy Ross of Glencoe, Allen Philbrick of Winnetka, Edna Peterson Johansen, Marie Gallagher of Winnetka, Percy Eckhart of Kenilworth, Mrs. Alonzo Coburn of Wilmette, Mrs. Albert H.
