NY January 8, 1927 WINNETKA TALK NOVAES IS AMAZING Winnetka Music Club Patrons Marvel at Brilliant Artistry of Renowned Brazilian Pianist By RUTHEDA L. PRETZEL Mme. Guiomar Novaes, last Monday night at New Trier High school, at the third of the Artist-Recital series spon- sored by the Winnetka Music club, displayed an amazing skill in technique and expression. She played the num- bers on her program as no other pianist has played them, and one came away with a breathless feeling that one had just witnessed a really great pian- ist. Mme. Novaes took Bach's "Choral Prelude," which opened the program, with a splendid ease and depth. This, as well as the Brahms "Variations et Fugue sur un Theme de Haendel" which closed the group, were extreme- ly well modulated, and were profound- ly dignified. The second group opened with "Night in Sevillia," by Niemann, a lovely liquid thing. It was followed by Poulenc's "En Auto," a short sketch played with delightful humor. As for the last of the group, Chopin's "Sona- ta in B Minor," enough cannot be said. Mme. Novaes has entirely mas- tered it and made her way through it as if she were at that moment compos- ing it, so much a part of her moods it seemed. There was not a sharp angle anywhere. In Chopin's Funeral March, which is a part of this Sonata, Mme. Novaes brought out the terrible experience of Death, and made it an intimate sorrow. She was given an ovation after its performance by the thrilled audience. In response to it she played a delicate study by Chopin. The four pieces in the third group were done with grace and a finished charm: "Indian Song," by Villa-Lobos ; "Alcove of Turandot," by Busoni; "Serenade," by Strauss, which was especially delightful and lyrical; and "Fledermaus," by Strauss-Godowsky. Mme. Novaes generously compiled with the continued demands of the audience, with three encores: "China Town," by Niemann; "Jeune Fille Au Jardin," by Nompom; and "Polichi- nelle," by Villa-Lobos. Story Lady Broadcasts to Students on Tuesday Miss Georgene Faulkner of Chicago, who has done exceptionally fine work in conducting the children's story hour over the Daily News Radio station W. M.A.Q,, it is stated, will tell Henry Van Dyke's story of "The Other Wise Man" to the students of the National Kindergarten and Elementary" college at their chapel service next Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Miss Faulkner, who through the writing and telling of children's stories has gained for herself the undisputed title of "Story Lady," is a graduate of the National Kindergarten and Ele- mentary college, and has shown a keen interest in its progress and develop- ment. DISCUSS "GOLDEN DAY" The North Shore Congregation Israel will hold services Sunday morn- ing, January 9, at 11 o'clock at the Hubbard Woods school. Rabbi Har- vey E. Wessel will discuss the subject "The Golden Day--Elements of Ameri- can Culture." Harry and Fred Stone, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Judson F. Stone of 1234 Ash- land avenue, Wilmette, left Monday morning, January 3, for Dartmouth college after spending the holidays with their parents. They are both members of the junior class. SEND LECTURE INVITATIONS Invitations have been out by Mrs. Lorenzo Johnson and Mrs. Ayres Boal for a series of four Tuesday morning lectures commencing Tues- day, January 11, at their home on the lake, by Rev. James Austin Richards. The talks will be on several alluring sent religious topics with the Gospel of John used as a background.

It is true of every car in some sense; but more so of Cadillac than any other." A Cadillac owner wrote this--after more than ten years constant use of one Cadil- lac car. Perhaps it may sound high flown as a tribute to a thing of metals and leather, glass and wood. But how better can be expressed the religion (no other word will fit) of the men who build the Cadillac-- "That Cadillac owners shall receive the finest that skill, and honest effort, and devotion to ideals can produce."
