| 40 WINNETKA TALK October 8, 1927 North Shore Chamber Music Season Opens on October 23 Muenzer Trio on t Furst of Chamber | Music Programs By JEAN TEN BROECK Five seasons ago chamber music was unknown to the north shore. In so short a span of years, however, because of the enthusiasm and faith of the little group who 'were responsible at first for its introduction here, because of the insistent appeal the charm of this type of music has, and because north shore persons are discriminating, the musi- cales sponsored by the North Shore Chamber Music association have be- come one of our own institutions. So securely has the association and what it stands for taken root in our life here, the writer is certain that with the ad- vent of autumn days each year she can present to the north shore readers word of a new series of chamber mu- sic programs. Such an announcement comes to us this week. The North Shore Chamber Music association will sponsor a series of four concerts for the season of 1927-28, the first of which will be given Sunday afternoon, October 23, at the Kenil- worth Assembly hall. The Muenzer trio will present the program assisted by Frederick Rittner, who will play the viola in a Brahms quartet. Tea will be served at the close of the hr§t program.

Military Touch Lends Color to Benefit Ball The inaugural ball of the new North Shore Military academy, held in the ballroom of the Orrington hotel Sep- tember 29, was a brilliant sight, with the light gowns of the women, the black evening clothes of the civilian men, and the uniforms of the visiting officers, Maj. Gen. William Lassiter, commanding general of the sixth corps area, and his staff, and Brig. Gen. Michael J. Lenihan, commanding gen- eral of Fort Sheridan, and his staff. The high point of the evening was reached when, with a few appropriate words, Maj. Gen. Lassiter, acting for the Ladies' auxiliary, presented the colors to M. C. K. Little, president of the academy, who responded for the academy. The program consisted of dancing to Duke Bigelow's Orrington hotel or- chestra, card playing, and a number of entertainments throughout the eve- ning. Saida A. Ballantine had charge of the evening's program. Among the entertainers were the Ferri Operatic Concert troupe, of which the members are Katherine Boyer, Margot Hayes, Senor Ferri, and George Graham; the Catarsi Spanish trio, who sang and played the harp; the de la Vega Spanish sisters, who gave a number of their native songs; Maude Deist, con- cert soloist ; Lucia La Costa, coloratura soprano; and Robert Ballantine, radio harmonica player. : The Ladies' auxiliary sponsored the ball, and the proceeds are to be used to equip the dormitory for the first unit of the academy. Judging from the size of the crowd present at the ball. this dormitory should be very well equipped. Mrs. James W. Benett of Wilmette is president of the auxiliary, Mrs. Edgar Foster Alden of Winnetka is vice-president, Mrs. Sarah Langfitt is treasurer, Mrs. Joseph J. Coffey is corresponding secretary, and Mrs. Henry Scarborough, Jr. is recording secretary.
