January 15, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 41 SYMPHONY DOES WELL | Little Symphony Gives Best Program of Season and Shows Splendid Sure- ness Under Dasch Baton By RUTHEDA L. PRETZEL The concert given on Monday eve- ning, January 10, at New Trier high school by George Dasch and his Lit- tle Symphony orchestra, was the best of this season's programs, so far. The orchestra is beginning to whip into the fine musicianly shape of last year's orchestra. Entrances were all that anyone would wish, last Monday eve- ning, and the orchestra showed a splendid sureness in following Mr. Dasch's baton. The first half of the program was especially well done. It began with the Overture from "Der Freischutz," by Carl Maria Von Weber, one of the finest masterpieces of its kind. The orchestra caught its background of simplicity, and interpreted beauti- fully the naive and hearty feeling of the old Teutonic huntsmen and vil- lagers. Rimsky-Korsakow's third movement, "The Young Prince and the Young Princess," of "Scheherazade," was de- lightfully smooth and lyrical. Gretry's Ballet Suite from "Cephale et Pro- cris," was next played, The Tam- bourin movement was very gay, the Menuetta had a lovely richness, and the Gigue was lively. The tempo was irreproachable, and the ensemble per- fect. Howard Preston, the Chicago Civic Opera company, sang the Massenet's aria, "Vision Fu- gitive" from "Herodiade," with all the fervor and despairing beauty the song requires. The orchestra gave him good suppor. Mr. Preston obliged the audience with an encore, "The Blind Plowman," by Clark. The second half of the program was given over to three works by Richard Wagner, beginning with the Prelude to "Lohengrin." This and the follow- ing number, "Waldweben" from "Sieg- fried," were quite well done, but they did not show the finish of the pre- ceding numbers. The orchestra seemed inclined at times to get a little bass-baritone of heavy. Mr. Preston was again heard in the last number, "Wotan's Fare- well" and "Magic Fire Scene" from "Die Walkure," which he sang with a dignity and richness of tone. He was upheld by a good though some- times too loud orchestral accompani- ment. Miss Winnifred Mickey, a Wil- mette pianist, appeared in the after- noon with the orchestra. She is to be congratulated upon her efficient rendering of Liszt's "Hungarian Fan- tasie." There was good ensemble be- tween Miss Mickey and the orchestra.

We had read catalogs from this manufacturer and that. And we had talked automobiles with our friends who drove cars of their own. One thing we discovered. Every car had some boosters. But only one car was praised, at least to some extent, by every- one--salesmen as well as owners. That car was the Cadillac. So our next car will be a Cadillac. We 1 can't see how we could be making a very serious mistake in buying an automobile that is well spoken of by everyone. EVANSTON BRANCH 1810 RIDGE AVENUE University 8600 Rogers Park 9133
