" WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1919 3 North Shore To Hear Lord Dunsany, Peer, Poet, Dramatist, Soldier On the afternoon of Thursday, | November 20, Lord Dunsany is to | lecture in Evanston! How shall one | begin to tell of Lord Dunsany? Shall | it be as the lord of many lands or! as the foremost dramatist and poet | of today; as a soldier, polo-player, | father and husband, or as the master | dreamer, the man, grown, but with | the wonder and imagination of childhood, the dweller in Dream | Lands, where pure imagination ! brings into reality*a beauty, poetry and grandeur that was never seen on land or sea? ! Few of Lord Dunsany's most ardent admirers know that his family name 23 SEE: CONQUERING LAUGH OF SANY LORD DUN IRISH = is Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett. His name and ancestry zre said to be third oldest in Irish history and He is the eighteenth baron of his line. In 1899 he succeed- ed to the title and estates which comprise many acres of most his- toric land and where, within sight of Dunsany Castle, rises The Great Hill of Tarva famous in song and story. Lord Dunsany was born in 1878, educated at. Eton and Sand- hurst, and saw active service in tie South African war. During his youth at Dunsany Castle he was never allowed to see a newspaper lest he become contaminated with the dross of the press, and was permitted to read Grimm's and Hans Anderson's fairy tales, enjoy the grandeur of Greek literature and the Bible. I'rom the two last have come the pure melody of his lines, the lovely Greek imagery and his Greek philosophy. Lest he seem not quite a man it is added that he is the best pistol shot in England, a keen cricketer and captain of his county team. For a poet he is rich--for a peer of the realm--poor. In _ appearance tall, rather slender, fair-haired with "kind- ly, eyes from which the wonder has not yet vanished and with the most exquisitely = sensitive mouth "in the world." Those who saw the Portmanteau Players will remember "The Gods of the: Mountain," King Argumenes, the Tents of the Arabs", his plays leave haunting memories of beauty. To quote Mr. Edwards Bierstadt: "Lord Dunsany's style is at once the wonder and despair of his con- temporaries; wonder at its cheer, limpid beauty, its melodic charm-- sometimes his lines are perfect hexameters defying comparison with 'anything since Homer." "He is in some ways the greatest figure in a great literary movement --for he has dreamed and dreams are imperishable. He has shown us beauty which is truth, and truth is immortal. And so, Lord Dunsany will in due course come to pass away at his residence. It is quite certain that he will never die." Lord Dunsany on Thursday, Nov- ember 20, at 3 o'clock opens a course of three lectures offered by the Drama club of Evanston in the audi- torium of the Woman's club of Ev- anston. Jord Dunsany, November 20; Granville Barker, January 29; St. John Ervine, February 12. Course tickets only are sold and may be se- cured at Thrift House, Grove street and Chicago avenue, Evanston. Granville Barker is a fascinating speaker, an actor of England, direc- tor of theater in London, author, with Laurence Housman, of "Prun- ella". St. John Ervine is to be re- membered for his wonderful play, "John Ferguson," which was such a success in New York. He has been director of the famous Abbey theater in Dublin and lectures on "Impressions of my FElders," which means Shaw, Galsworthy, Yeats, Moore and others. Both Lord Dun- sany and St. John Ervine have serv- ed gloriously in the World War and were wounded. Residents of the north shere are urgently invited by the Drama club of Evanston not to let pass this un- usual opportunity - SHOW STOCKYARDS FILM AT HOYBURN ON FRIDAYS How Armour and Company actual- ly do things at the Stockyards is shown at the Hoyburn theater, Ev- anston, each Friday evening in a series of films which describe in de- tal the actual working procedure of the great meat packing industry. The films, in addition to their edu- cational value, are designed to pre- sent in concrete form the actual con- ditions in the Stockyards, to em- phasize the remarkable improve- ments in working conditions, the gradual introduction of sanitary methods of preparing the products for the market, the marked im- provement and modern devises em- ployed for handling the vast indust- ry. The films are primarily design- ed to correctly inform the great buy- ing Public as to the inner workings of a ereat industry and to disparage by en'ichtment the alleged universal and adverse, opinion formed by many people years ago from the reading of books sfter the type of the "Jungle", public: #3dn of which, some years ago created a great sensation.

It was a shame that the Kenilworth boys, fighting hard to the last ditch and holding the upper hand most of the game, being held on or near the ten yard line a couple of times, had to finally wish the game on-to Proviso by slipping up in their eagerness and being penalized for off-side. Wienecke played a wonderful game, both. on offense and defense. His punting was spectacular but no more so than his brilliant line plung- ing. Bob and Wright have un- doubtedly proved the main stays of the New Trier team for 1919 and along with Al Rand deserves much credit for their playing. Evanston will be on the Kenilworth field when the kickoff takes place at 2:30 Saturday afternoon. Coach Snider, who has performed his duties wonderfully this year, and with the help of less. injuries to his stars would have finished higher in the league standing, will endeavor to finish the season with a win as Evans- ton furnishes the last opposition in schoel football this year. -- OAK PARK WINS New Trier was eliminated from all chances for league supremacy in soccer Saturday morning at Oak Park when, although fighting hard and outclassing their opponents practically all times they submitted to defeat 3-2. Their last game takes place with Morton at Cicero Satur- day morning and if they win may get them a tie for second place with University High which may neces- sitate another battle between the two. : FIRST SWIMMING MEETS RESULT IN N.
