WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1920 ir 2 aqui: = HE last Thursday afternoon program for the children at Ravinia Park will be September 2. The first half of the program will be the same as it has been most of the season, beginning with Community singing led by Miss Florence Crane, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Marx Oberndorfer, who will give a wonderful interpretation of the numbers to be played by the orchestra on that day. The children sit very quiet and seem much more interested in what the orchestra is playing after having heard the story and theme of the numbers, and know what to listen for. The last half of the program will be given by Princess Sansa, who is a princess of the Cherokee Indian tribe. She has never appeared in program east of the Mississippi river, but is well known throughout the west as a wonderful talented person. Princess Sansa sings native songs with impersonations, tells stories and dances in her own native way. It will be interesting to see and hear a real Indian princess. On Friday evening, August 27, "The Secret of Suzanne" and "L'Oracolo", featuring Antonio Scotti as Chem-Fang, Leon Rothier, Louis d'Angelo, Pilade Sinagara, Pallriniere, Florence Easton and Mary Kent, will be given. Saturday and Sunday afternoons there will be the usual concert, with Richard Hageman and Harry Weis- bach conducting. Saturday evening, "La Traviata" will be sung, with Easton, Mary Kent, Charles Hackett, Paltrinieri, D'Angelo, Anannian and Louis Denman, taking the leading parts. Sunday evening Madame Butterfly will be presented, with Edith Mason taking the role of Cho-Cho-San, and Alice Gentle, Morgan King- ston, Graham Marr, Ananian, Mary Kent and Max Toft, assisting in the various of the principal parts. Of interest to all parents who love music is the announcement made by Marx E. Oberndorfer, the well known musician, that he is starting a north shore class for children with Miss Marion Lasier of Winnetka as his; assistant in charge. Miss Lasier, who has been with' Mr. Oberndorfer for many years, has just returned from Oberlin college, where she has specialized for two years in music. She is now assistant organist at the Glencoe Union church. Mr. Oberndorfer, who is recogniz- ed as one of the foremost Chicago musicians, has always maintained that few people recognize the im- portance of properly starting little children in their musical education. He feels that a child should have the best training in music from the be- ginning, and that the starting of piano lessons is the most important phase of musical education. Mr. Oberndorfer is in charge of the Music department of the Faulk- ner School for Girls in Kenwood, and also maintains a studio at 520 Fine Arts building, Chicago. Miss Lasier will assist him in the work with little children in both of these studios. The parents on the north shore have certainly appreciated the rare advantage which their children have had on Thursday afternoons this summer at Ravinia Park, for the short talks presented by Mr. and Mrs. Oberndorfer before the or- chestra programs have proved to everyone the advantage of teaching children how to listen to music. Mr. Oberndorfer has planned the instruc- tion for children under Miss Lasier so that each child must attend one hour class lesson in listening to music each week. These Listening classes will be conducted by Miss Lasier, under the personal super- vision of Mr. and Mrs. Oberndorfer. ! Mrs. Gordon A. Ramsay of Glen- } coe has allied herself with the movement launched recently by Miss Emily Larned, whereby women will stamp all their outgoing mail and and checks with an "I'm for Hard- ing" slogan. The proceeds from the sale of the rubber stamp are being devoted to the campaign fund. Excellent team work by Evans and Phil Gaudin, the Skokie profes- sional, enabled them to give Harry Vardon and Ed Ray, the invading Englishmen, a defeat by 6 and 5 at the Skokie Country club last Satur- day, this being the greatest reverse incurred by the Britons in their tour. BOULEVARDIERS Huntington, W. Va.--The young people of Huntington are singing the praises of Judge L. D. Newman. Says the judge: "People can love each other as much as they want in Ritter park or on the boulevards, and no officer has the right to pre- vent an automobile from stopping along the boulevards if it is clear of the traffic, unless the occupants are disorderly." The policeman no longer take no- tice of the spooners and an open sea- son for lovers is on. "As we look back on the price of sugar before the war, we are re- minded of that good old song 'Sweet and Low."" REDUCED PRICES for Automobile Painting During Summer Months . . .

C. Harris has announced that a copy of the war department's official battle area map will be forwarded to each of the 9,600 local posts of the legion, which are situated in every commun- ity in the United States and in nine- teen insular possessions and foreign countries. "The map will be of great value as an aid to determining eligibility for battle awards in the issue of the vic- tory medal," writes the adjutant gen- eral in the letter to Franklin D'Olier, national commander of the legion. "This office also is pleased to state that since the arrival at mutual un- derstanding concerning the responsi- bilities of the American legion and the recruiting service the matter of distribution of victory medals has been progressing nicely."
