WINN. 843-844 WINNETKA 735 ELM STREET {| Wilmette National Bank to Start Building Soon With all plans completed everything is in readiness for the reconstruction of the Village theater building in Wil- mette into one of the finest and most modern banking quarters on the north shore. Specifications for the structure, which is to be the new home of the First National Bank of Wilmette, were finished this week and bids were opened, which means that the work may start any day. The architects, Hamilton, Fellows and Wilkinson of Chicago, state that the building will be completely recon- structed. It will be of Italian Renais- sance style of architecture, the front being done in terra cotta. A large banking room will fill the space formerly used for seating the theater goers. This will be sky- lighted and the roof will be of dome shape, thus insuring sufficient light and making it unnecessary to have side windows. An important feature is that there will be no columns. The banking quarters will be reached through a beautiful central lobby. The floor will be of tile. Every {feature essential to a modern bank will be in the First National. The vaults will be at the west end of the building and a large and modern safety de- posit vault for the use of patrons will be installed. The two stores on Wilmette ave- nue on both sides of the lobby will remain, but both will be slightly larger because the stairway, which at present leads to the upper floor, will be removed. N. L. Hurd and his daughter, Natalie Hurd, 518 Sunset road, spent last week-end in Milwaukee. They made the trip in one of Mr. Hurd's aero- planes. WINNETKA MUSIC CLUB OBSERVES GUEST NIGHT (Continued from Page 3) excellently by Lenore Harris at the piano. Mrs. Bosworth's voice is warm and round, and she sings either pianis- simo or fortissimo effectively. Her interpretations lend interest and her voice is true. "The Crystal Gazer," by Kramer; "Drumadoone," by Sander- son; "The Bitterness of Love," by Dunne; "Children of the Moon," by Warren; and "Damask Roses," by Quiltie, showed off her voice to ad- vantage. Ruth Redefer, Highland Park pian- ist, gave the major part of the pro- gram, appearing in two groups of well- chosen numbers. With the Sonata by Sole, an old Spanish number, she established herself immediately as an ° artist of individuality, having a techni- cal equipment and the imagination to back her up in her ideas of interpreta- tion. And in the Caprice by Gluck- Saint Saens, one knew at once that she was playing music that meant something to herself, and therefore the audience caught the poetry of it and the inexpressible beauty behind mere tones and rhythms. Delicate shadings and nimble fingers made such things as Mendelssohn's Prelude and Fugue, and Granados' "La Playera," exceptionally interesting. Dohnanyi's Fourth Rhapsody made a brilliant close to her program. Mrs. Dwight C. Orcutt, outgoing president of the club, gave a few words of welcome to members at the beginning of the program, and intro- duced the new president, Mrs. Harry L. Street. The program was ther turned over to the program chairman, Mrs. Burton Atwood. At its conclu- sion, punch and cake were served.
