62 WINNETKA TALK December 18, 1926 Composition Introduced at Chamber Music Concert The second program of the North Shore Chamber Music association's season's concerts was given at the Kenilworth club on Sunday afternoon December 12, by the Muenzer trio un- der most auspicious conditions. The large hall was used which gave much better opportunity for the players. The first number was the E flat major quartet by Beethoven. The viola part being played by Fred Rittner. The music was especially acceptable received such enthusiastic ton from the audience that the play- ers gave as an encore one movement from Schumann's E flat major quar- tet. The other number on the program was a novelty in this country for it never had been played here before, as far as Mr. Muenzer could learn. It was a trio in D niajor by Ewald Staes- ser, a most satisfying composition and so well received that the quartet gave as an encore Schumann's Cantata Can- tabile. The next concert will be given March 13. Among the group of Winnetka boys who will spend the vacation season at home is John Roos, son of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Roos of 491 Hawthorn lane. Mr. Roos is a member of the sophomore class at Princeton and ex- pects to return home Sunday, Decem- her 19 CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICE The lesson sermon at First Church of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday morn- ing, December 19, will be "Is the Uni- verse, Including Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?"

Headed by "Romeo and Juliet," over- ture Fantasia by Tschaikowsky-- great, if not the greatest composer of orchestra music--the Little Symphony Orchestra of Chicago rendered in a very acceptable manner. A violin concerto by Max Bruch, unsurpassed as a composer for the violin, was the offering of Herman Felber, concert master of the orches- tra, who captivated the audience with his rendering of the Concerto No 2 D minor, and demonstrated that he knew Bruch as well as his violin. Franz Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody," always popular, was well played by the orchestra, which encored with "Lieb- estraum," Liszt's most familiar compo- sition. The orchestral concerts would be incomplete without Johann Strauss' waltz, "On the Beautiful Blue Dan- ube," and the strains of this well known piece were played with vim and precision. Dvorak, the great interpreter of folk songs of his country as well as our own negro melodies, was the conclud- ing composer on the program and his "Two Slavonic Dances" were grace- fully played. We have always referred to the orchestra as "Mr. Dasch and his men," but we find that the expression is now a "misnomer," judging from the three women instrumentalists, whose playing was noticeable. All food in Illinois' new Stateville penitentiary is cooked by electricity.

He gave the last of his talks Wednesday. Ferdinand Schevill of the Chicago lectured on Kenilworth May Secure Carrier Mail Delivery Whether or not Kenilworth is to have a carrier postal delivery system, rests entirely in the hands of the Post Office department of the United States Government, according to Village and local postal officials. Every measure that it is now possible to take has already been taken. Some- time ago 423 questionaires were mailed to those residents who either did not answer the first one sent them or else had moved into the village since that time. Of this number 395 answers were received: 300 voting for free delivery, 94 against, 1 non-commital and 28 fail- ing to answer. With these figures as a basis it is estimated that more than seventy-five percent of the residents desire the service to be installed. According to Postmaster Blanchard, two men would be required to handle the delivery, and as government agents were recently sent to survey local conditions a favor- able decision is expected to be re- ceived from Washington. Country Day Aids Old Santa in Toy Making Santa Claus visited the North Shore Country Day school Thursday and gathered up the products of the school's Toy Shop, which has been so active the past few weeks in preparation for Christmas. The toys were distributed throughout the various grades of the school, from whence will radiate joy among worthy children in Chicago who are to be the recipients of this happy Yuletide spirit and custom at North Shore Country Day. Robert English, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. English of 375 Hawthorn lane, is among the Princeton men returning for the holidays. Mrs. English is a graduate of New Trier High school, where he distinguished himself in dra- matics. He is a freshman at Princeton. Sheldon Gordon, son of the George W. Gordons of 874 Lincoln avenue, Winnetka, will arrive in Winnetka Monday, December 20, from the East. Sheldon is a senior at Princton univer- sity. N.U. Cage Squad Faces Powerful Enemy From Drake A busy week-end faces the North- western basketball team which on Sat- urday night takes on the fast travel- ing quintet from Drake university and then, on the following Monday night, meets up with the formidable aggre- gation from Michigan State Aggies of Lansing, Mich. Both games will be played at Patten gym in Evanston. Defeat at the hands of the powerful Wabash five last Saturday night in the opening game of the season served to give Maury Kent a line 6n the material which he will have to work with dur- ing the coming season. The offensive strength of the Purple aided the team to role up a total of thirty points but the guards showed need of a bit more experience. Coach Kent is faced with the task of developing a new pair of guards this season out of a number of sophomore candidates. _ Herold Gleichmann, sophomore cen- ter and forward, who worked in his first varsity game against Wabash, showed much promise and should prove a valuable man to have around this season. The big blond boy who hails from Rockford, Ill, sank five baskets and four free throws during the eve- ning. He started at center and later performed at a forward post, Fisher taking over the pivot duties. Fisher was slowed up somewhat by an injured knee but should be going in his old time style again by the time the conference season opens on Jan- urary 8 against Illinois. Little Bobby Rusch played a bang-up game at for- ward while Sachse, Owen, Heide- men and Foster all performed creditably well at the guard positions during the evening. Drake will bring a formidable bas- ketball five to Evanston for Satur- day's encounter. The Bulldogs from Des Moines scored convincing victories over Illinois and Chicago last season and are out to increase their conference wins by upsetting Northwestern. Capt. Chuck Everett, light and dim- inutive running guard, who scored 148 field goals and sank fifty-six free throws in forty-four games, leads the Drake contingent of cage artists. He will be assisted by six other letter men in- cluding Barney Meyers and. William Parishe, forwards; Clarence Simpson and Ralph Harley, centers; and Pres- ton Lawless and Arthur Ashby, guards. Drake bases much of its hopes for a win over the Wildcats in the per- formance of Everett who winds up his college career this semester. His 352 points against Missouri Valley oppon- ents mark him as a dangerous man once he gets the ball in his hands. MOTORCYCLE FIRE A leak in the gas line of a motorcycle ridden by W. F. Quinbach caused it to burst into flames at Cherry and Chest- nut streets last Saturday. The Fire department extinguished the blaze. Damage to the motorcycle was about $10. The University of Illinois will send home a large contingent of Winnetka young people, when it closes for the holiday season. Among those return- ing on December 22 will be Miss Jes- sie West, daughter of Mrs. John Cord- ner West of 937 Gordon terrace. Marshall Root, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Root, 470 Sunset road, is also expected to arrive in Winnetka next week from the University of Il- linois. ---- Sidney C. Eastman, 255 Melrose avenue, Kenilworth, is rapidly re- covering his health, and will probably come home before Christmas.
