Predict Great Reception That the chorus will be well received in Winnetka was indicated last Wednes- day when it was announced that all of the children's tickets had been sold, and that only a very few adult tickets re- mained on sale. It is expected that the spacious Jane Kuppenheimer hall will be taxed to its capacity. The Bakule Chorus comes from Prague Czecho-slovakia. It is com- posed mostly of crippled children who are being cared for by the Bakule school and are being taugh how to overcome the handicaps that are theirs. Examples of the beautiful handiwork that the crippled children can do will be on exhibition at the Skokie school. Some of the work, it is said, is remarkably delicate. Sing Native Melodies In addition to exhibiting their me- chanical and artistic ability the European children will sing folk songs and native melodies, and will demonstrate some of the Czech folk dances. Classical music will also have a place on the program. The Bakule Unit's American tour is being conducted by the American Red Cross. The appearance in Winnetka is made possible by virtue of the personal friendship of Carleton W. Washburne, superintendent of schools, with Mr. Bakule, the principal of the school. Other performances are given only in the larger cities. U. of I.

Ince pictures, "The Hottentot," and "Bell Boy 13," an exhilarating comedy farce to be shown next Friday at the Community House. In "The Hottentot" Maclean had to ride a steeplechase with thirteen horses, in which he was the thirteenth rider and the day was Friday, the thirteenth. In his latest picture he again proves himself immune {rom superstition by donning brass buttons and answering to the hoodo number. Both of his recent pictures have won such big popularity that Maclean has become superstitious about the luck- bringing powers of "13," and says he in- tends to begin his next production on the thirteenth day of the month and have thirteen scattered all the way through the picture. "FINGER PRINTS" "Finger Prints" a play on Race Re- lations, will be presented at Medinah Temple, Monday and Tuesday eve- nings, May 14 and 15. Are you plan- ning to see this intent and appealing dramatization: of Chicago's rare prob- lems? Are you sure you have an in- telligent viewpoint of it? This play does not pretend to force an opinion but tries rather to give a picture of the new negro in his home or com- munity.
