WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1922 VISTEON, CTI JA. 2-1 Indian Hill Improvement Association Sponsors Big Variety Event JOE BREN, DIRECTOR Real Stars to Appear in Cast The Indian Hill Improvement asso- ciation have made arrangements to stage a Minstrel-Vaudeville-Musical Comedy production at the New Trier High school auditorium on the nights of January 29 and 30. This show will be under the direction of Mr. Joe Bren, who has handled other success- ful entertainments in Winnetka in the past. The importance of the show, which is to be called "The Jollies of 1923," lies in the fact that it will depart to a vast extent from the regulation amateur performances and will be staged in true professional style with magnificent scenic settings and clever costume creations. There will be a variety of entertainment covering the many different scenes--a Minstrel show, several comedy sketches, song and dance numbers of the revue type, Grand Opera travesties, and other novelties. The Executive com- mittee of the Indan Hill Improvement association has given much time and thought to this affair and has made every arrangement whereby this should be one of the biggest offerings of its kind ever presented in the vil- lage. Two of the members were for- merly connected with Richard Carle and other musical comedy artists, and both have been in the musical comedy field for a great number of years, and out of their extensive ex- perience will contribute greatly to- ward the success of the event. It has been learned that -there-.are. many others in t community who have had geile experi 1 who partic will ren Ersal 'was held Tuesday evemng |§ 'December 26, at the New irier Iiigh COVER VITAL TOPICS IN LECTURE SERIES Keen interest is manifest in the series of lectures to be given at the Winnetka Woman's club under the auspices of the North Shore Sinai Con- gregation in co-operation with the Bducation department of the Winnet- ka Woman's club.

Death Takes Little Girl marshal; in Fred Hull Household The sympathy of this community was deeply stirred on Christmas Day by the death of little Margaret Hull, five year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hull, 933 Ash st. The little girl made a brave fight against a singularly violent attack of diphtheria. The funeral was conduct- ed by Rev. James A. Richards Tues- day at Memorial Park. Where's Dan? -- smo-- "Where's Dan?" "Gone up North." "Where to?" "Big Bay de Noquet." "Thanks! Where is it?" "Up above Escanaba. At the north end of Green Bay in northern Michi- gan." "What's he doing up there?" "He's a scaler in a lumber camp." "What's a 'scaler'? Peels off the scales?" "Not quite. He figures out the tim- ber in a log and stamps it with the owner's mark. I got that from the dictionary. "Sounds like it. But say, I thought Dan was in school." "Not now. He lost his appetite for French and Physics. Couldn't study." "That's too bad." "No, 1 don't call*it 'bad'. It's & fact, neither bad nor good; just a fact." "All right, but, anyway, you put him to work, didn't you?" "No, he put himself. I helped him get a job." "How does he like it?" "He says it's fine!" Three big meals a day! Breakfast and supper in the mess-house, and dinner at noon out in the woods." "They tell me they have to get up pretty early in those camps." "Yes, Sometimes I think I'd like to then, he goes to bed at eight. Has Sunday to himself." "Sounds kinda nice doesn't it?" Yes About quarter after five. But, look in on Dan. But it's Tour hundred miles from Winnetka, and I've grown, maybe, overfond of warm water and a good bed." "Same here, gets pretty cold up there. Thirty below, sometimes. By the way, remember me to Dan when you write." "Say, write to him yourself. Ad- dress it to Daniel Kohlsaat, Nahma Michigan, Camp 14." PNEUMONIA IS FATAL TO FRANKLIN RUDOLPH Winnetkans were shocked to hear of the death Wednesday evening, De- cember 27, of Franklin Rudolph, Chi- cago business leader and one of the most prominent citizens of this vil- lage. Mr. Rudolph passed away early Wednesday evening, a victim of pneumonia. He suffered with an attack of la grippe about ten days ago and his condition was not considered serious when he suddenly took a turn for the worse, the ailment developing into fatal pneumonia. Funeral services will be held at the residence, 745 Sheridan road, this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Mr. Rudolph, who was vice presi dent of the American Can company, was born in Chicago in 1858. He en tered the business world at an early age and built up a large business as a manufacturer of metal containers, which was absorbed in 1901 by the American Can company, of which he became a director. Three years later he was made vice president. Mr. Rudolph is survived by his wid- ow and three children.
