The play will be seen in the Jane Kuppenheimer Memorial hall at Win- metka tonight and Monday night. Tt will also be offered in Lake Forest and Evanston on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Modern French Drama "The Red Robe" is considered one of the greatest of modern French "The Red Cross Family Album' Mrs. Theodore Keehn "For nearly four -years," reads a communication in a Red Cross pe- riodical, "Mrs. Theodore Keehn, of Winnetka, Ill, has been one of the most faithful Red Cross volunteers in the transcribing of Braille. Follow- ing are some of the books she has made available to the sightless: "The Valley of Silent. Men," by James Oliver Curwood; "Ramblin' Kid," by E. W. Bowman; "The Yel- low Trail," by E. M. Boddy; "Next War, An Appeal To Common Sense," MAY BRING "CLAVILUX" WIZARD TO WINNETKA Winnetka people may soon see Thomas Wilfred in an entertainment with his famous instrument, the "clavilux, said by critics to be "the first practical in- strument to harness light and place it at the command of a skilled player at the keyboard," if the plans of Willard Beatty, principal of Skokie school, to bring him here, materialize. "We can probably secure him for a program if there is enough interest in it," says Mr. Beatty. "I would like to hear trom villagers who might be in- terested." "Seated at the 'clavilux' keyboard," says Mr. Beatty, "Wilfred, by playing upon the keys, releases pure white light, moulds it into form, makes the form move and change in rhythm, introduces texture, depth and finally color of ab- solute purity and intensity. The result is projected on a white screen as a silent visual composition with no more rela- tion to music than a painting or a poem." Commenting on Mr. Wilired's per- formance, the Philadelphia North Amer- ican says, "It is truly a marvelous achievement, one which opens a new field to man's sense of beauty and makes | an appeal to the soul. To see, a dim, vaporous mass of grayish green slowly melt into a definite form of glowing yellow, which rises and as it rises un- folds, flowerlike, into what might be- token four floating crimson tulips; to watch the birth of a mystic, prophet- like figure, all blue and tawny, form a shaft of living whiteness, and gasp as it dies in a silent thunderstroke of the red of blood--these are sensations so strange to the eye as to render the re- cording brain almost incapable of ade- quate utterance.

Frazer as treasurer, to succeed Harry D. Edmonds, who resigned after serving the parish in hat capacity for five years. Miss Cora B. Lamb was elected mis- s.onary treasurer, and Donald F. Mc- Pherson was chosen as clerk. Members of the vestry expressed re- grec at the resignation of Mr. Ed- monds, but voiced their appreciation of his splendid services, stating that it was :argety through his excellent supervision ct the funds of the church that the parish has been placed on a sound fi- nacial basis. The budget of the church for the en- suing year has been increased, it was anounced at the vestry session. The totaling $23,000, already has been pledged, it was explained. The budget tor benevolences is $14,500, so that, with an additional $17,500 for the proposed new church organ, the entire budget totals $55,000. Red and Green Headlights Mean the Fire Apparatus Perchance you are driving along one of Winnetka's thoroughfares at night, and perchance you see two large lights, one green and the other red approach- ing. That will be your signal to pull over to the curbing, for those lights rep- resent the fire department apparatus. Chief Houren had the colored head- lights affixed this week, following a practice which has proved effective in Evanston and other Chicago suburbs. a Today's Brunswick Releases CONCERT 25017--"Benediction of the Swords" (from Le Huguenot) "Finlandia" (Op. 26, No. 7) Played by Vessella's Italian Band.
