1 WAY - May 7, 1927 WINNETKA TALK Annual Art Exhibit in Wilmette Scene of Charming Variety A charming exhibit of works by Wilmette artists was presented last week-end at the Wilmette Woman's club. Among some of the prominent artists whose pictures appeared were Erma Bentley, Dorothy Berndt, Mary Bockius, Anita Willetts Burnham, Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Davis, Harry Hooker of the Charles Morgan studio, W. T. Jones, Mrs. Marie K. Lusk, Lester Moore, L. A. Palenski, Florence Pye, Irma Reisner, William Schmedtgen, William Solms, Marguerite Taylor, Albert Ullrich, William R. Watson (of Highland Park, formerly of Wil- mette) and Mable Wheelock. In one corner of the center room were three large, colorful mosaics, depicting Eas- tern scenes with Arabs and camels, which were from the studio of Charles Morgan. Of much interest also were the many original cartoons by Carey Orr. There were a few pictures exhibited by some of the younger north shore artists, one or two by Carol Lou Burnham of Winnetka, and Alice Mae Jackson, Jane Johnson, and Myrtle Lundquist of Wilmette. Particularly interesting were the group of miniature stages, the work of the students of New Trier High school. The Wilmette Grammar school was well represented by a large group of posters by the eighth grade pupils announcing the exhibit, by the group of soap statuettes inspired by Mrs. Lusk, and by the group of crayon sketches illustrating stories from his- tory and the history of Chicago. On Friday evening the talented tric composed of Estelle Swigart, cellist, George Swigart, violinist, of Wilmette, Winnetka, gave a very pleasing musi- cal program. Among the numbers was the Hungarian Dance No. 5 by Liszt. During the evening refreshments were served.
