Lloyd Hollister, Inc., had received $642.56 in contributions from citizens 'and organizations in the township so that the addition of another contribu- tion of $15 coupled with the $608 real- ized from the concerts brings the fund to $1,265.56, a most creditable showing when it is considered that the Band fund campaign has been in progress only a few months, with the holiday season to detract interest. Still Need $734.44 Since $2000 has been set as the goal for the fund, simple subtraction teaches us that $734.44 remains to be solicited before those unifcrms for the members of the band are given their first "try on." The concerts would have brought a considerably larger sum, had it not been for the sub-zero weather of last "week-end which kept many potential ticket-buyers at the fireside, or more likely at the fire-door of the furnace. The band is planning a third concert, date as yet undecided, but in the mean- time Lloyd Hollister, Inc., will con- tinue a patient plea to fathers and mothers and friends of New Trier stu- dents for help in raising the money necessary to secure those uniforms for the band members. They want uniforms for the National Band tournament in the Spring. Many small contributions will do it! If you are interested in the band and its future just mail your check to New Trier Band Fund, Lloyd Hollister, Inc., 1222 Central avenue, Wilmette, II. Major Denman Addresses Winnetka Legionnaires Maj. Albert I. Denman, veteran of the World war and at present superin- tendent of police at Wilmette, was the guest of Winnetka Post, No. 10 of the American Legion, at its regular meet- ing Tuesday of this week. Major Denman, who was in charge of Military Intelligence at Base Section 2, Bordeaux, France, during the war, re- cited many interesting anecdotes of his experiences while in the service. He is a master of dialect and his talk was enthusiastically received by the legion- naires. The major is a member of the Wil- mette Post of the Legion and has been an active member of the veterans' or- ganization since its inception. A group of Winnetka legionnaires went to the Great Lakes hospital Thurs- day evening of this week to visit and entertain the disabled veterans.

Laird and Donald F. Mc- Pherson were elected members of the vestry of Christ church at the annual meeting of the members of the parish held at the home of the rector, Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard, Monday evening of this week. «They were chosen to fill vacancies in the vestry. Delegates to the annual Diocesan con- vention to be held in February were also elected at the annual session. One of the most interesting depar- tures in the evening's activities was the reading of a letter from Rev. William A Thomas of Point Hope, Alaska, de- scribing the work of the mission main- tained by Christ church in that locality, the furtherest north mission in the world. The members of the parish voted ac- tive support to the work of Dr. Alice Barlow-Brown, Winnetka physician, who is doing splendid service in a hospital in the interior of China. It was decided that, in addition to maintaining a bed in the hospital, Christ church will give financiai aid to the work, regarding it as a special service supplementing the regular benevolence program of the parish. Following the meeting the members enjoyed refreshments served by Mrs. Gerhard. SUPER-DRAMAS HERE NEXT WEEK Little Theatre Promises In- teresting Programs Next week's program at The Little Theatre of Community House promises to be one of unusual interest to Win- netkans. On Tuesday, January 29, Jack Holt in "A Gentleman of Leisure" and chapter three of "The Oregon Trail" will be presented, while on the following Friday, February 1, Richard Barthelmess, in "The Bright Shawl," will be offered preceded by a program of Spanish dancing arranged under the direction of Miss Betty Bacon, who is in charge of interpretative dancing at Community House and at the New Trier High school. On both days there will be special children's matinees at 4:15 and evening shows beginning at 7 and 9 o'clock. "A Gentleman of Leisure" is charac- terized as an excellent comedy-drama which affords Jack Holt one of the best roles he has essayed this season. The story centers about a young man of wealth who on a wager, disguises him- self as a burglar and, getting a real burglar to help him, starts out on a far- cical career of crime. Sigrid Holm- quist is the leading woman and heads an unusually capable cast of players. An interesting story about Abraham Lincoln is told in the third chapter of "The Oregon Trail," the chapter play of the Oregon Trail's history which will be shown next Tuesday. On Friday, February 1, Richard Barthelmess, in "The Bright Shawl" will be offered. Of this picture, The Educa- tional Screen, an independent magazine devoted to the new influence in educa- tion, says in its film review department, "The Bright Shawl" is said to be a very beautiful picture, rich in the sun- light and shadows of the tropics, and glamorous with the costumes and graces of the romantic period when Cuba was struggling for freedom. The story has to do with the efforts of a wealthy young American, Charles Abbott, to assist some Cuban friends in their fight against Spanish oppression. A gorgeous figure in the maze of plot and coun- terplot, is La Clavel, a Spanish dancer, with whom Abbott carries on an os- tentatious love affair, for the purpose of obtaining information. But the dancer, infatuated, helps him willingly, and her bright shawl, a familiar sight in the gay gathering places of Havana, becomes a symbol of Cuban freedom, for which she finally gives her life. Dorothy Gish as La Clavel gaves a brilliant perform- ance while Richard Barthelmess as Charles Abbott is finished and wholly delightful." Children not accompanied by and seated with adults are requested to attend the special matinees provided for them. CLERK-CARRIER EXAM United States civil service examina- tion for the positions of clerk and city carrier at the Winnetka post office, to be held at that place February 16, has been announced.

ASK THE WANT-ADS To Furnish Your Home Winnetka firemen braved ten-below zero weather in fighting their second big fire of the week last Monday afternoon when a call came from the home of Maurice Reiner at the corner of Oak street and Sheridan road. Despite the intense cold which nipped the ears and frosted fingers, they suc- ceeded in extinguishing the flames be- fore the residence was destroyed. Starting abeut 2 o'clock from a fire being used to thaw out frozen pipes, the flames climbed up the rear wall, reached the attic and burned off a large portion of the roof. Chief G. M. Houren estimated the damage to be in the neighborhood of $8,000. The Reiner home, formerly owned by Dr. P. S. Doane, is one of the his- toric residences of the village having been considered, in the early days, one of the finest structures in Winnetka. The Reiner fire practically dupli- cated that at the L. H. G. Bouscaren home at 646 Prospect avenue four days before when the firemen were also called to face sub-zero weather for several hours. As a bit of excitement between the two big fires, a small chimney blaze at the home of Wiley J. Huddle, 794 Rosewood avenue, occupied the atten- tion of the department a short time late Friday afternoon. There was little damage. BEST CONCERT OF THE SERIES Little Symphony Scores Tre- mendous Success "Twas a mild moonlight night in January. Perhaps that he'ped a little iake th h concert the great success that it turned out to be. But ninety-nine per cent of the happiness of the audience was due to the master- ly work of George Dasch and his men. It is not too much to say that they played as if inspired. The keynote of artistic achievement was indicated at the very beginning when the clarinet struck up the open- ing strains of Halvorsen's "March of the Boyards." A prime favorite it is with its stirring, martial measures. Then followed the festive overture to "The Marriage of Figaro" by Mozart The playing by the muted violins of the "Adagio" from Saint-Saens' Sec- ond Symphony was extremely effec- tive; and the "Prestissimo" from the same composition met with enthusi- astic approval. A "Serenade" for String Orchestra by Volkmann, the violoncello obbligato being played by Carl Brueckner, closed the first half of the program. The second half opened with a pre- sentation of Godard's "Scenes Poe- tiques," a pleasing combination of soothing silvan harmonies and gay vil- lage melodies. A delicious number was the playing of Massenet's "Duet for clarinet and cello" performed by Messrs. Evenson and Brueckner. The audience was much taken with a Can- zonetta by Mendelssohn arranged by Director Dasch. The evening's pro- gram ended with two very jolly pieces by Herbert and Waldteufel. The evening was a delight from start to finish. The hearers demanded and obtained several encores. One fea- ture that added materially to the en- 'oyment of the occasion was the gen- ial and generous spirit shown by Mr. Dasch and members of the orchestra. Sleigh Rides in Vogue at the Greeley School Teachers at the Greeley school, who took their pupils on sleigh rides Wed- nesday afternoon were. Mrs. Ruth Martin, Miss La Reina Bubett, Mrs. Clarre Bernhard, Miss Myrtle Nim- mer, Mrs. Phyllis Schwoerer, and Miss Emma Jaycox. Thursday afternoon Mrs. Crawford, room mother of Miss Marian Gram's room, substituted for Miss Gram, who is ill, and took the pupils of her room for a ride.
