4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1925 MUSIC LEADERS FORM SOCIETY Music Guild of New Trier Is the Name By MUSIC CRITIC A new chapter in north shore music history was written last Thursday eve- ning with the organization of a co-oper- ating society of private music teachers and public school music supervisors at a banquet at the North Shore hotel, Evanston, held for that purpose. The name chosen for the new body is The Music Guild of New Trier Township, and its purpose, as stated at the meeting, is "To give the musicians of the north shore a chance to become acquainted, exchange ideas, and plan definite meas- ures whereby private teachers and supervisors may raise the standards of music education." The credit for bringing about such a meeting is largely to be given to Mrs. Homer E. Cotton, director of music at New Trier High school, whose earnest efforts at co-operation have already done remarkable good in other lines, as wit- ness the New Trier Township Orchestral association. The replies to a circular sent out by her indicated at once a con- siderable interest in the project of organ- ization, but the attendance and enthusi- asm exhibited at the meeting Thursday went beyond the bounds of all previous expectation. At the banquet was gathered a group of over 70 teachers from Wilmette, Kenilworth, Glencoe, and North Evans- ton, of varying ages and experiences, but of like opinion on one subject--that supervisors and private teachers would gain greatly by a better understanding of their individual aims and problems. There were speeches by all of the supervisors present, in which the pur- pose of the meeting was outlined and discussed. Mrs. Cotton, as presiding of- ficer of this part of the program, con- tributed an interesting and enlightening talk, and there were also remarks from some of the distinguished teachers pres- ent. The organization itself proved to be the hardest task of the evening. Never- theless the "aims" were finally put into coherent form, and a choice made of the three candidates nominated for president, Mrs. Cotton herself being invested with that honor. The following other officers vers elected: Cyrus Daniel, secretary; Ala a8 wa 4 oe. wfThis organization seems so logical and necessary that one wonders why it 'was not started sooner; music is rapidly win- ning a place in school curriculums, and sooner or later a definite standardization must be made if tthe most efficient pro- gress is to be made. This league of teachers and supervisors is a step in the right direction, and may possibly lead to even greater things than the present organization has planned. For the present, the general association will "hold yearly meetings, while the village groups, under their respective vice presidents will be subject to more frequent calls. BUILDERS GIVE DANCE The Boy Builders of New Trier ,an organization sponsored by the Masonic lodges of the township, announce an- other of their popular dances to be held this evening at the Kenilworth club. Refreshments will be served and the boys promise a great time for the "trippers of the light fantastic toe." KNOWLEDGE REACHES US THROUGH THE EYES All through our life, much of our enjoyment and most of our knowledge has been gained by active use of the eyes. We use our eyes so constantly, and neglect them so shamefully that the slightest defect, if let 20, can become a very serious matter affecting our whole lives. A little attention now may work wonders. Why not let us examine your eyes now? 15 years of successful practice Dr. 0. H.

Music is Catchy The music was worth while. It caught the ear, pleased it and some of it will remain to haunt it. And the way the splendid orchestra of 20 symphony musicians played the music was a treat even to the cultured north shore, to whom symphony orchestras are every- day incidents. In many ways this "big league" or- chestra, as led by William B. Moeblius, of the Chicago Civic Opera, made this performance the success it was. "lI Love You," the lovely waltz tune, "Facts Is Facts," one of those topical songs with special verses written in honor of the absent Vice President, the catchy "Dictate" song, "Flattery" with the male chorus featured, "Oriental Blues," "The Hindoo Moon" and "Flower of Love", should be recorded as first night hits. The Oriental open- ing effects by the complete choruses at the opening of the first act and the wild native parade and dances by the same choruses at the conclusion of the same act were well done and more than pleasing to the eye. "Creg" Loes Fine Job Just a word about Gregory formerly production manager Theatre Guild, and director, manager and instructor with the University Theatre at Northwestern university, who came to town to be stage manager for the Legion's annual production. "Greg" did a splendid job of it and we are duly thankful to him for the unusually short wait between acts. He was assisted by an army of zealous assistants behind the scenes. The hard-working, graceful and ever- smiling choruses containing some of the best of the youthful talent to be found on the north shore, or anywhere else for that matter, were a pleasure to watch. Watching amateur choruses in enter- tainmen.s of this nature always holds an added joy for us. This is to watch and observe the keen joy they take in their work. None of 'this jaded, "I don't care so long as I get my pay on Saturday night" air, we have so often had to watch on the faces of some of these professional show girls.
