1 pr -- WINNETKA TALK July 23, 1927 Children's Carnival at Ravinia Old English Festival Children Urged to Wear Costumes for Ravinia Carnival By JEAN TEN BROECK The charm of an Old English Festival is to be the appeal for children this season on the occasion of that annual colorful affair, the children's carnival at Ravinia Park. The day is to be Thursday afternoon, July 28, 1927, but the real time is that of Robin Hood, which will be relived in the costumes of the children participating. In addi- tion to the voungsters from the Muni- cipal Pier, who each year have given the carnival production, two groups of little folk, one from Winnetka and Hubbard Woods and one from Glen- coe, will join the young actors on Thursday. The former group will give two folk dances, and plans have been made for the latter to be miniature Robin Hood men. The entire affair again is under the direction of Miss Bertha Iles. The Great Lakes band will play its spirited music. Members of the north shore Ravinia committees will sell fa- vors throughout the festival and two girls irom each town, clad in gay cos- tumes, will help sell favors. North shore children who come to the festival as spectators are urged to attire themselves in costumes to lend color, and to take part in the Grand March, always a feature of the affair. Winnetka children are urged to at- tend the carnival and, whenever pos- sible, to. come in costume, either Old English, or any other of their choos- ing. A Grand March will be one spe- cial feature of the day, as usual. The program commences at 3 o'clock. Former Indian Hill Resident Guest Here Mrs. Marshall E.
