a Toe FEE WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1923 BAKULE CHORUS GIVES CONCERT Crippled Czech Children to Be Heard The Bakule chorus, from Prague, Czechoslovakia, now touring eastern cities, will give an entertainment at the Auditorium, Chicago, on the evening of May 16. Attired in their brilliant na- tional costumes, these forty young peo- ple, trained under Vienna opera stars, will sing melodies and folk-songs never before heard outside of Europe. Frantisek Bakule was an instructor in an asylum for deformed and crippled children. When this organization dis- intergrated during the war, Bakule gathered about him twelve boys and for several years these crippled children lived as gypsies, until they were able to establish themselves in a barn. Here with boxes for tables, jackknives for tools, and scraps from city workshops, they fashioned baskets and toys to sell for their daily bread. Later help came from the Junior American Red Cross, and an anonymous gift from a mutual friend of the Czechs and the Red Cross. This enabled Prof. Bakule to buy a villa and garden and establish the Bakule school, which in a few years time has gained an international reputation. Sur- geons and educators make the trip to Prague to visit this school. Prof. Bakule's theory is that no matter how de- formed the child there is some other vocation for him other than begging in the streets. The concert tour, under the auspices of the Czech Red Cross, is for the pur- pose of thanking Americans for their help and of showing the progress which the new Republic of Czechoslovakia has made in stabilizing itself. The Bakule chorus will be the guests of the Junior Red Cross. F INTEREST only to our ADVERTISERS i -- Every reader takes a second look at a full-page ad.

Edinger and Sons, full-page ad in last week's issue calls to mind the interesting fact that it was to Edinger that Mr. Lloyd Hollister sold his very first full page! Think how he felt when he sold his first full page! This noteworthy event occured way back before the War, in 1914; to be very exact, on April 2, 1914. Moreover, both parties to that transaction, Ed- inger and Hollister, agreed to use the self-same heading for April 13, 1923, that was used on April 2, 1914. David L. Barry, Evanston rug deal- er, is said to be the only store on the north shore dealing exclusively in rugs, carpets and linoleums. Mod- erate prices are made possible be- cause of the specialization in a single line of merchandise, Mr. Barry ex- plains. The North Shore Roof Crafters of Evanston this week entered into a contract for continuous advertising in the Hollister Inc. publications. The firm recently established an office in Glencoe. It has been active on the north shore for several years.
