UNIQUE WORKSHOP 15 PROF, KNAPP'S No Dissension There; Love of 'Trade Keeps All Happy DOROTHY O. TUTTLE A work-shop where labor dissensions are unknown, where the workers bend eagerly to their work with no thought of the time clock; where they raise their eyebrows in surprise if you speak of pay, and where skilled labor offers itself for a song-- No, this is no Utopian dream to haunt the waking hours of the unem- ployed. Neither is it a highly painted excerpt from the campaign speech of one of our leading Socialists. It is Northwestern University's School of Music Symphony Orchestra in terms of fact. Unique Work-shop. Prof. Harold Everett Knapp, direc- tor of the orchestra, claims the most neatly unique work-shop in the world. Not only is the Evanston symphony the largest unpaid symphony in Amer- ica, but Prof. Knapp declares that it can also boast an array of talent com- parable to many professional groups. He paused at the conclusicn of a Saint-Saens ecstacy in the first re- hearsal last night preliminary to the - WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922 concert to be given March 15, and ex- ercised his baton to single out individ- nals from the bewildering tangle of instruments and violin bows, waving like so many excited jack-straws to the accompaniment of a wierd jangle of test tones and practice runs. "A remarkable number of clever people," he said. "Miss Julia Mar- shall, my first violin, is one of the most conscientious pupils I have ever had. She has studied with me for years, both before and after her so- journ in Berlin where she studied for four or five years. Mrs. Norman Parker," he pointed to a demure little lady with a head neatly coroneted with a wreath of dark braids bent stu- diously over a violin, "is an excellent performer with 3 and a half years' of study abroad to her credit. She has been with us but two years, Miss Mar- shall a great many more. * A Lovely Prussian. "The second violin with the charm- ing white hair is Mrs. Anna Hebble- thwaite, an enthusiastic worker ana one who has been with us since the beginning a dozen years ago. The little girl next to her with the bobbed hair is Carol Clapp, also a pupil of mine, but who has traveled from coast to coast in professional troupes. She can get at least seventy-five dollars for a preformance any time she cares to play." A lovely Prussian looking gentle- man with whiskers of an interesting ferocity and a frown which only serv- ed to hide a twinkle in his eye, I found to be one of the few profes- sionals in the group. "I know you're German, but what is your name?" I asked him, not sus- pecting that the prosperous watch chain and engaging whiskers were the property of Carl Meyer, for 31 years clarinet player with the Chicago sym- phony orchestra and one of ten re- maining members of the original com- pany. "How do you know I am German? Have you been in Berlin?" His whis- kers demanded. Not All "Pros." "Oh, no--but I have an imagina- tion." Which seemed to satisfy the whiskers, for he called, "Oh, Quensel!" and up came a chubby little man with a delightful goatee and a gold pince- nez, who bowed and smiled and ad- mitted that he was "also professional --with the Chicago symphony." But they are not professional-- these workers. There is Francis Knight and Benjamin Carswell and Master Williams, young son of Day Williams, who will appear as 'cellist solo - for the concert--names well known to musical north shore. And the spirit of the workers is the spirit of the director--Harold Everett Knapp. Mr. and Mrs. George T. Steen have sold their home at 233 Essex road, and will move on April 10 to Rogers Park. BEGIN FOUNDATION WORK With excavation work completed last week actual construction work on the new Winnetka State Bank, East Elm street, near Lincoln avenue, was started this week with the laying of the concrete foundation. The struc- ture is to be one of the most attractive business blocks in Winnetka. Mr. and Mrs. Norman Harrower of Fitchburg, Mass. will be the week end guests of Dr. and Mrs. Ralph C. Hamill, 666 Spruce street. 2 in a class, per lesson, 75¢c COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF MUSIC CLARE REED, Director Class Lessons in Sight Reading for Piano Training 4 in a class, per lesson, 50c PHONE WINNETKA 974 When It Is PRINTING | a -_--rrrT so ten You Need Telephone Wilmette 1920 THE LAKE SHORE PUBLISHING CO. 1222 CENTRAL AVE.
