ad Sy | WINNETKA WEE EE -------- OCIADACTIVITIES Donald Robertson, Well Known Actor, To Talk Here Feb. 5 LARGE meeting is expected next Monday afternoon, Feb- ruary 5, at the Winnetka Woman's club, when Donald Robertson will speak on "The Players' Calling and Its Rela- tion to Life." Mr. Robertson is one of the best known actors and speakers and has been for many years an en- thusiast and idealist for the art to which he is devoted. This program is given under the auspices of the Drama Study class and is free to club mem- bers. Considering the large number of Winnetka women who are not members of the Woman's club, and the large number who are interested in this subject, it is hoped that it may be clearly understood that any- one who ig interested is welcome to attend a meeting of this kind, the only exception being that non-mem- bers pay the guest fee. An opportunity to hear a veteran stage-lover like Mr. Robertson does not come to our doors many times and the many women who are now interested in the drama hope this may be a most interesting occa- sion. Mrs. Ernest Ballard will be chairman of the afternoon. Tea will be served. The program will be at three o'clock. --_---- Association House, the oldest set- tlement house in the Northwest Side of Chicago, announces a benefit per- formance of "Boris Goudunoff," to be given by the Russian Opera Com- pany, with the great basso, Feodor Chaliapin, at the Auditorium, Tues- day evening, February 20.
