September 22, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Preston Recital Excellent Though Done Too Hastily By RUTHEDA L. PRETZEL Another sign of the coming of autumn was the closing of the sum- mer musicales at the Skokie Country club Sunday afternoon, September 16. These musicales have proved a boon to members of the club and friends, who found they answered more than satisfactorily the worn question, "What shall we do on Sunday after- noon?" Mrs. Dwight C. Orcutt has been in charge of the musicales this year and for several years, and has always selected artists who would appeal to just such a musically edu- cated, informal audience as has been attending the musicales. Wherefore she is to be thanked. Howard E. Preston, baritone of Wil- |g mette, closed the season with a brief but enjoyable program. Given Too Hurriedly Mr. Preston is the possessor of a rich, mellow voice which he uses to its full advantage. But he was ob- viously anxious to be done with the program last Sunday in order to be off on a fishing trip. This critic ar- rived before 4:30 o'clock, to find him finishing his second number, and dur- ing his entire program felt his impa- tience of delays between groups, and even of the audience itself. No en- cores were given, although the ap- plause was more than convincing. Half the charm of such an afternoon is in leisurely making one's way through a program given by an artist who is friendly and generous. It is a pity Mr. Preston could not have found a later train out of the city. Perfect Program Mr. Preston's program was well nigh perfect. His second group, made up of Franck's "Nocturne"; Debussy's "I.es Cloches"; and Hahn's "D'une Prison," showed that he is an artist in bringing out the story with sympa- thetic feeling and a sonorous, smooth tene., In more dramatic songs, such as Fourdrain's "L'Isba En Flammes," he thrills the audience with his resonant, warm tone and his forceful interpretation. "Danny Deever," by Damrosch, was another that was so vividly given it brought forth enthusi- astic applause. Hammond's "The Bal- lad of the Bony Fiddler," was sung with a gruesome touch, while Taylor's "Captain Stratton's Fancy" went off with a fine dash. Mr. Preston's por- trayals of the different characters are worth hearing and seeing. Charles Lurvey gave him excellent accompani- ments at the piano. Travels 1,400 Miles in Outboard and Likes It A 1,400 mile trip in a sixteen-foot outboard motor boat has been com- pleted by Walter Kaehler, commodore of the North Shore Outboard Motor club, in company with Sidney Bown of Chicago, and Kaehler says he would not trade the vacation he spent for any millionaire's trip. They started out from the Evanston shore and made their way northward to Sturgeon Bay, Green Bay and over to Mackinac Island, then Sheboygan, Wis., and across Lake Huron. Up St. Mary's river into Canada they con- tinued for some miles before turning their course on the homeward journey. They came down the east shore of Lake Michigan to Michigan City and straight across from there to Evans- ton. The trip took four and one-half weeks. The weather gave them a calm trip north and a stormy journey home. Kaehler's Dunphy with an Elto-quad motor covered the course at an aver- age of fifteen miles an hour. John Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Percy B. Davis, 766 Prospect avenue, returned to Harvard on Thursday of this past week. LEAVING FOR SCHOOL Among the young people who have gone and are going to school are Eldridge Anderson who will go to Yale, Jane McKinney who will finish her senior year at Bradford Prepara- tory school, Dick Burke who will finish at Dartmouth this year, Edward Bau- mann who goes to Princeton, Gordon Delay, and Louise Conway who goes to Wellesley for her sophomore year. RETURN TO SCHOOL W. D. Truesdale, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. William D. Truesdale, 570 Arbor Vitae road, has returned to Culver Military academy. Miss Lois Trues- dale has gone to Connecticut college. Miss Barbara Barrett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Barrett of 530 Cherry street also has gone to Connecticut. George Massey, son of Mr. and Mrs. eorge B. Massey of 705 Sheridan road, has left for Yale university. 1s You Can Buy Furs Here With Confidence This September sale is an event of real moment--a time when you can select a FUR COAT at summer price.
