4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1923 POLLOCK TALKS ATNEW TRIER Author of "The Fool" De- lights Students with Splendid Address WANTS GOOD PLAYS Lauds Mark Twain Type of Humor On Thursday" of last: - week the student body and faculty of New Trier High school were given the op- portunity of hearing a delightful talk by Channing Pollock, author of "The Fool," who, a few weeks before had similarly entertained a large audience at the Wilmette Sunday Evening club. Mr. Pollock spoke about the genuine enjoyment to be found in good books, good paintings, and good plays. "It would be too bad," said he, "if we were to derive our ideas of comedy and humor from a newspaper's -comic page or from a custard pie comedy in a movie show." Then the playwright told of the true amusement contained in the works of Mark Twain, and the unrivalled beauty and action in the plays of Shakespeare. - When the theater affords such a great means of influencing tens, of thousands of peo- ple daily it is important that this in- fluence should be a good one. An afternoon or evening spent in viewing a play which is of no lasting value means three good hours thrown away. To promote an interest in. the right sort of entertainment Mr. Pollock wrote "The Fool," which has been a great success, and is; ltoday being shown all over the country by seven different companies. Would be Lighthouse Keeper In another part. of his talk Mr. Pol- lock 'expressed the desire to some day be a lighthouse keeper, and be in a place where, free from bother and care, he could read the books which thus far he has not found time for. In this way he would be finding real contentment. Sp From beginning to end Mr. Pollock kept his audience at the peak of in- terest with his attractive manner of expression and his many jokes. Dur- ing the entire address there was no a dull moment. : First of Series This talk by this noted author is the first of a series of entertainments by well known people, whom Mr. Clerk plans to secure throughout the vear for speaking before the pupils and teachers of the high school. "Our first speaker," said Mr. Clerk, "has set a high standard for the others to live up to, but neverthe- less IT am confident that his followers will also offer many very fine pro- grams." | THE PUBLIC FORUM| Winnetka Talk, My dear Editor: The Community Memorial committee of Winnetka decided that they would like to take as many steps as possible towards disbanding and in this connec- tion, they requested the Village Im- provement Association of Winnetka to take over their responsibilities' in con- nection with the Soldiers' Memorial which has been agitated for some time. The Board of Management of the Village Improvement Association ac- cepted this responsibility and "is look- ing for ways and means to accomplish a satisfactory and suitable result. . 'There is a very handsome -and what seems to me adequate design for the memorial which has been accepted by all the different interests in Winnetka. However, there seems to be some under- current of objection to this particular desigh among the members of the Win- netka legion. ET I would like to know whether the Legion really has any objections and whether its objections are from indi- viduals that do not understand or are official objections. I read recently an editorial in your good sheet in connection with the Sol- diers' Memorial and 1 have one very strong objection to this publicity. My objection is that it did not appear on the [ront page. Very truly yours, JIT TAGE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION By John C. Cobb, Jr., Pres. DR. MELVIN B.

Over sixty bona fide members were present. After a few suitable remarks by Mrs. Otis on the general object of the organization, the new director, Noble Cain, was introduced. Without delav he plunged into the business of the occasion, dividing the singers into four groups--sopranos, altos, tenors. and basses. The chorus prac- ticed first a very attractive part-song, composed by Wilhelm Gericke, at one time leader of the Boston Symphony orchestra. After this the chorus glanced over Henry Hadley's choral masterpiece, "The New Farth," the words of which were written by Mrs. Louise Ayres Garnett of Evanston. The chorus will meet again on next Monday evening in the club-rooms.

On Thursday, those desiring luncheon at Community House will be served by the Czecko- Slavakia society, Mrs. Balak will be in charge.

Notice was given of the Red Cross Drive which will open at the next club meeting and all members were asked to come prepared to buy their seals. As the program for the afternoon was a joint affair, the Illinois League of Women Voters joining the Civics and Philanthropy committee of the club, there were two speakers present, with Miss Gemmell and Mrs. Cushman in charge. Miss Gemmell introduced Mrs. Flor- ence Bennett Peterson, chairman of the Department of Efficiency in Govedrn- ment, Illinois League of Women Voters, who touched briefly but comprehensive- ly on the Zoo Act, then made a strong plea in support of Miss Mary Bartelme, who was a candidate for Judge of the Circuit court. She urged the necessity of awakening the indifferent voter to action at the polls, sustaining her plea by the statistics that at the last Presi- dential election only 61 per cent of the eligible voters cast their ballot, while only 46 per cent of the women voted. Mrs. Cushman then presented Dr. James A. James, head of the Depart- ment of History at Northwestern uni- versity.
