fF 2 >} WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1924 Child Artist Gives Concert to Aid School Building Fund RS. Willhlam Sutherland has ac- cepted the North Shore chair- manship of the concert to be given by Viola Mitchell, the little twelve-year-old violinist, of Pittsburgh, on Saturday morning. March 15, in the Studebaker theatre, for the benefit of the Building fund of the National Kin- dergarten and Elementary college. Mrs. Sutherland will be assisted by several north shore women: Mrs. Percy Arden of Wilmette, Mrs. P. W. Brad- street of Winnetka, Mrs. Fred Porter of Ravinia, Miss Lucile Wood of High- land Park, and Miss Iona Moody of Lake Bluff. The Music department of the Lake Forest academy is also co- operating with Mrs. Sutherland. Viola Mitchell has played for the foremost critics and musicians of New York and other eastern cities, who agree that she is one of the greatest talents of our time. She is a normal, happy, and very attractive little girl, and her teacher, Miss Margaret Horne, does not intend to have her brought out for sev- eral years, but she was deeply interested in the work of the Kindergarten college and its plan for moving out to the north shore, and agreed to Viola's appearing in a series of three concerts for this project. The first of the three, given in Pittsburgh last October, was a tre- mendous success, the Chicago program is the second, and the third is to be given in Buffalo, N. Y. North Shore residents will be par- ticularly interested in the fact that J. Henry Welton of Evanston, the tenor soloist who won the vocal contest held by the Society of American Musicians in January, will assist in this program. me An announcement of particular inter- est to the young people of Wilmette, Winnetka, and Glencoe, is of the sub- scription dance to be given in the ball room of the North Shore hotel on Fri- day evening, March 21. The Delta Gamma alumnae of Northwestern are sponsoring this dance in order to raise house funds. --Q-- The north shore alumnae of the National Kindergarten and Elemen- tary college will meet for luncheon at the North Shore hotel, Evanston, on Saturday, March 1, at 12:30 o'clock.

Ickes of Hubbard Woods has gone to Arizona to spend the remainder of the season at Castle Delightful entertainment was pro- vided for about 200 friends of the Community Drama club on Monday evening at the Rudolph Matz hall in a short but interesting two-part pro- gram. Mrs. Lloyd Faxon read "Rosa- lind" by J. M. Barrie, which was fol- lowed by the presentat on of Lady Gregory's "Workhouse Ward," in which members of the Community players assisted. Mrs. Faxon has a charming manner and pleasing voice with an unusual power to differentiate characters, a none too casy task for a reader of a play. She held her audience through- out, and created for them a mental picture of the scenes and emotions of the play which made them real and vivid. The curtains were then opened to show the ward of the cloon work- house in a poor section on the west coast of Ireland In the two cots were William C. Van Horn and Milton Hig- gins, the victims of misfortune and ailments that qualify them as neigh- bors in confinement. The Irish char- acterization was skillfully drawn with abundant reality of expression. Many a laugh was forthcoming at the banterings of the two inmates which were made to magnify in- cipient jealousies. Especially striking was the shading of attitude toward a proposed release from confinement, ef- fectively presented by the visit of Honor Donohoe, (Mrs. Frederick Dickinson), a sister of one of the men upon whose retirement in a huff, the belligerant characteristics were diawn to a swift and convincing climax. The play was under the very able direction of Mrs. Walter Johnson. --_--O-- The next performance to be given by the Committee of Opera in English Foundation will take place on Thurs- day, March 6, at 2:30 o'clock at the Studebaker theater.

Mrs. Ernst von Ammon, and Mrs. Howard Tracy. --O-- Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Byron and small daughter, Ann, of Foxdale ave- nue, departed for Florida on Monday to visit Mrs. Byron's mother.
