WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922 LTTE SIPHON ELGHTS ADEE Thirty Artists Give First Concert Here A great occasion! Never before has an orchestra of such size and artistic ability given a concert easily accessible to North Shore music lovers. On Wednesday evening, No- vember 15, George Dasch with his orchestra of thirty prominent artists gave a program of music in the New Trier High School Auditorium. To an audience of almost 1,200 a program was rendered most skillfully and with marvelous finish. Never before have Glencoe, Kenilworth, Wilmette, and Winnetka had such a musical treat as was given them last Wednesday evening, Dasch led his men, with great de- light to the audience, through well known compositions by Tschaikow- sky, Von Weber, Beethoven, Saint- Saens, Debussy, Liszt, Brahms, and Johann Strauss. The solist for the evening was Carl | Brueckner, violoncellist, who played so acceptably a Saint-Saens concerto that the audience demanded an en- core. In response he presented The Swan by the same composer. The Larghetto from Beethoven's Second Symphony was very beautiful and interpreted in a masterly fash- ion. Debussy's Petite Suite was de- licious. The playing of Liszt's Lie- bestraum made necessary an encore, Kreisler's Lidbesfreud. Brahm"s Hungarian Dances, 5 and 6, were giv- en with engaging abandon and com- pelling rhythm. The Little Symphony will give its next orchestral concert on Tuesday evening, December 12. If you have the good fortune to be present you will insist that these recitals shall be an annual affair. Driver Injured When Truck Gets Ablaze; 2 Other Fires While filling the gas tank of one of the trucks of the Star Line Express company a static spark, probably caus- ed by the knocking of metal in the removal of the hose, ignited the gaso- line and set fire to the truck last Tuesday night. The fire department was immediately called. The cab of the truck was badly damaged before the fire couid be extinguished. The driver of the truck, Oscar Benson, was slightly burned. An overheated furnace in the home of J. M. Coulter, 1065 Chatfield road, was responsible for a small fire which necessitated the sevices of the fire de- partment last Wednesday morning. No serious damage resulted. The fire department answered a call last week from the home of C. J. Knapp, 1096 Laurel avenue. A small fire had been started by an oil burn- er. There was no damage. CONSOLIDATE SCOUT SUPERVISION HERE On Wednesday evening of this week Winnetka Boy Scouts of Troop No. 2 met for reorganization at Community House. This action was taken by the Scout Council of Winnetka, as a re- sult of the suggestion and request of Rev. BE. Ashley Gerhard, hitherto Scoutmaster of Troop 2, that this troop, which has met for the past two years at the Christ Church Parish House, be consolidated under the same management as Troop No. 1, which has met at Community House. Rev. J. W. F. Davies becomes head Scoutmaster of Troop 2, which will retain its individual organization un- der the leadership of Jack C. Ander- son, Director of Athletics at the Coun- try Day school, who has been ap- pointed by the Scout-Council as Scout- master of the troop. Present plans call for a meeting every other week on Wednesday eve- ning at Community House for ordi- nary Scout activities. On alternate Thursday evenings, Troop No. 2 will meet in the gymnasium with Troop No. 1 for gymnastic and athletic work under the direction of Harry P. Clarke. There were about twenty-six boys in Troop 2 last year, but some have dropped out. It is hoped to be able to fill up this number to the full quota of thirty-two so that four patrols may be established and maintained as soon as possible. If you are a "good scout" and want to join a good troop, be at Community House at 7:30 next Wednesday evening.
