XIII, NO. 6 FINAL SYMPHONY CONCERT APR. 21 Hans Muenzer to be Assist- ing Artist with Little Symphony Players DASCH IS DIRECTOR Busy Securing 1924-25 Sub- scriptions Monday evening, April 21, marks the close of the symphony concert sea- son on the north shore. On that date The Little Symphony of Chicago, George Dasch, conductor, augmented to forty players, will give the final concert of the season at the high school, under the auspices of the New Trier Township Orchestral association. Hans Muenzer The assisting artist will be Mr. Hans Muenzer, the well known Chicago violinist. On Monday afternoon the last of the series of matinee concerts will be given under the same auspices. These events bring to -an end -the second highly successful season of symphony concerts. The third series scheduled for next year is assured by reason of the large number of subcriptions which have already been filed with the association for 1924- 1925 season tickets. Most of the old subscribers have re-subscribed for the next season, and there is already a large waiting list. Those old sub- scribers who were not present at the March concert will be given an op- portunity to protect their position of the subscription lists Monday evening. Meanwhile, the music supervisors of the high school and the grade schools in the four villages cooperating in the orchestral association are busy taking subscriptions for the next series of five matinee concerts. While these matinees were planned originally for the school children, it develops that the work of the supervisors is doing so much for the musical taste of the children that the character of the pro- grams next year will be materially elevated. This should make these matinees attractive to women who have not been able to secure tickets for the evening concerts. Hans Muenzer, who will play a Sitt concert Monday evening, has risen rapidly to the front rank of Chicago violinists. He received his higher training under the distinguished vir- tuoso and master, Hans Sitt, at the Royal Conservatory of Leipzig, Ger- many. He has played with several European orchestras: and toured abroad at the head of a concert com- pany. He has also appeared with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Following is the program for Mon- day evening: Prelude, Choral and Fugue.........

RUBBISH FIRES PROVE MENACE Fire of Numerous Alarms Cause Numerous small fires started by un- guarded rubbish fires have been keeping the local fire department on the move during the last few weeks. Seven fires, for which the apparatus was called out, occurred and three smaller affairs were handled by broom brigades. The department is particularly anxious to have the residents employ greater care in the burning of rubbish, since every run costs the village many dollars, while, by staying with the fire for a few minutes that excessive cost and damage might easily be averted. It is difficult to conceive how intelligent people can suffer such lapses of memory as to start fires in the open on a windy day and then leave them unguarded, Chief Houren declares. The men answered a call to Scott avenue and Randolph Thursday, where burning rubbish ignited a fence. A call on Sunday to 849 Lincoln avenue was also caused in the same manner. Burn- ing rubbish started a fire at 1172 Hamp- tondale road, where a neighbor's garage was endangered. Skokie Motor com- pany lost a few barrels of lubricating oil when some burning rubbish caused a fire at the rear of the place; and ap- proximately 400 creosoted railroad ties belonging to the North Shore Klectric railroad were burned when workmen started burning grass along the right- of-way at 740 Oakdale avenue. One of the most stubborn fires in the history of the local department occurred Monday, when some wood in the boiler- room of the Community Pharmacy at 574 Lincoln avenue, caught fire. The wood covered the floor a considerable depth and it was with difficulty the blaze was extinguished. There was con- siderable smoke damage. A partition was set afire in the base- ment of the residence of the Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard, 482 Linden avenue, Tuesday, but there was slight damage. Trees at Spruce street and Hibbard road were endangered by the burning of grass Tuesday, according to the depart- ment records. Annual Clean-Up Week in Winnetka April 28-May 3 It'll be the season for overalls, rakes, shovels and the paint brush very soon, for announcement has gone forth from the Village hall that annual Clean-Up Week in Winnetka will be observed from April 26 to May 3. There will be special schedules for collection of rubbish that week and the Village has secured the cooperation of various civic organizations securing a general clean-up campaign in every sec- tion of the village. Organizations that will assist the authorities include the Village Improve- ment association, the Indian Hill Im- provement association, the Hubbard Woods Improvement association and the West Winnetka Improvement associa. tion.

It will be played in Winnetka on May 2 and 3. Owen Davis's "Icebound" is the Pulitzer Prize play of 1922-23 and is one of the most distinct and talked-of plays of last season. It was produced at the Harris theatre, New York, February 10, 1923, and ran until June, and was promptly accepted as a human and worthy drama that en- riched the repertoire of the native theater; but is was never taken out on the road. The production by the Guild will be the first by any amateur organization. In his foreword to the play, the author says, "I am now turning to- ward my own people, the people of northern New England, whose folk- lore, up to the present time, has been quite neglected in our theater Here I have tried to draw a true pic- ture of these people. They are neither buffoons nor sentimentalists, and at least neither their faults nor their virtues are borrowed from the melt- ing pot, but are the direct result of their own heritage and environment." Story Jordan Clan "Icebound"/is the story of the Jor- dan clan in pigazie, Maine. The Jor- Kew he s : are. ins Ye and vavim, pom The play is interesting Aw comedv amusing, with a really w- :th while idea, excellent characterizations, and an entertaining story. The cast includes Mrs. Henry Tennv and Mrs. Louis A. Sherman of Winnetka. Council Refuses Change in Rail Gate Operation Village authorities have decided that it would be unwise to grant a recent request of the Chicago and North Western railway for combined opera- tion of the crossing gates at Oak and Cherry streets from a central tower located on the right-of-way mid-way. : . between the crossings. The council authorized officials to advise the railroad of its action in the matter. The council acceded to the request of the North Western railway for per- mission to establish a joint gate operat- ing tower with the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee railway at the North avenue crossing. It is the opinion of the authorities that the present system o' operating the gates at Oak and Cherry streets is the most effective in the interest of safety. 18 Ballots Are Cast in Winnetka S:"-00l Election A lamentably small vote was cast last Saturday in the Winnetka school elec- tion.
