3 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1925 CASALS IS NEXT RECITAL ARTIST World Famed Cellist to Share Program with Ivogun, Lyric Soprano LAST RECITAL OF YEAR MacDowell Club Lays Plans for Next Season On Tuesday evening, March 31, will be given the closing concert in the Artist Recital series, sponsored by the Winnetka MacDowell Musical club. This last recital bids fair to be the equal of, perhaps superior to, any of Maria Ivogun the three previous. The reason for this prophecy is that the musicians on this coming occasion are the greatest 'cellist of the present, and of all time, Pablo Casals, and the superb lyric so- prano, Maria Ivogun. It is within the bounds of probability, at least, to as- sert that Casals is not only the great- est living exponent of the beauties of that wonderful instrument, the violon- Céllo, but also the greatest living musician. Maria Ivogun is a Viennese prima donna. Though a member of the Metropolitan Opera company, she spends only a few weeks in America each year. She is at the same time prima donna in the Munich and Vienna opera. last year she received a trem- endous ovation at Covent Garden, London. The critics gave her un- bounded praise. Is Lyric Soprano Last April she completed her third tour of the United States, including California. Our own musical critics definitely placed her among the world's great artists. She has rare personal charm of bearing and appearance as well as a lyric soprano voice of un- usual sweetness, range, and purity. The violin has long been regarded as supreme among stringed instru- ments, but Casals has raised the 'cello almost to that enviable level. The great violinist, Eugene Ysaye, has said of Casals, "He is the greatest inter- pretive artist I have ever heard." Kreisler says of Casals, "He is the greatest musician who has ever drawn a bow." Because of the decided success of this year's recitals, the MacDowell club is already making its plans for the series in 1925-26. Rehearsals in Progress for Local Legion Show Rehearsals for the Winnetka Amer- ican Legion show are going on nightly and the entire cast has been selected. The final tryouts and selection of the chorus is scheduled for Tuesday eve- ning, March 24. The rehearsals are being held in the American Legion room and the assem- bly room at the Community House. The cast rehearses on Monday and Wednesday evenings and the chorus on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights. When finished, it is predicted that the production will rival any pro- essional show to be seen in Chicago. February Quiet Month for Police, Firemen Only seven fires occurred.in the vil- lage during the month of February, according to the monthly report of the fire department, which has just been received. The total damage caused was only $45, which established a low record for that month. This is in con- trast to the months of November and December when there 22 and 21 fires, respectively. - The police department had a quiet month, too. There were no burglaries and no autos stolen. Only 42 arrests were made and 31 of these were for speed and traffic violations. RELIEF AND AID MAKES ITS ANNUAL STATEMENT (Continued from Page 1) are very frequently paid back in small installments over an extended period of time. In a majority of cases, perhaps, he families are simply desirous of se- curing a loan, rather than a gift of money. Tell Only Bare Facts Often, however, such tragic conditions are revealed at board sessions as seem almost beyond remedy. Of course the annual report gives the statistics regard- ing instances of disease, surgical, hos- pital, and visiting nurse cases, etc., but always these are only the bare facts from which individual identity and the human element have been eliminated. Miss Mary Garrettson, the visiting nurse, is the one who knows of the human side of this work, of the tragedies, and cruel misfortunes that beset the paths of the financially embarassed and stricken families and individuals, for she is in constant touch with each case. Mrs. Gertrude Thurston, the township supervisor, is another outstanding worker in this community welfare enterprise. She finds it necessary to apply frequently to the society for help for needy families, since the meager funds provided by the county are lamentably inadequate to care for the need at hand. Mrs. Thurston has been of invaluable assistance to the society in finding the need and suggest- ing the proper remedy. Ambassadors of Cheer All of this emphasizes the fact that the ungarnished record of the society's work, as set forth in the annual report, falls far short of telling the real story of this remarkable enterprise. These facts cannot reveal the heartrending conditions existing right in our own com- munity, nor the cheer that is spread by those who, each year, subscribe to the funds of the organization. These facts: "Do not tell of the gratitude Which from their hearts will never fade, As they think of that Guardian Angel, Which is called the 'Relief and Aid." CAMP FIRE IN GREAT SESSION Local Girls to Attend the Chicago Meetings Camp Fire Girls from all parts of this country are interested just now in an event of importance which is to .ake place in Chicago next month. April 18 will mark the opening date of a great convention of Camp Fire Guard- tans and executives from all sections of the United States. Chicago head- quarters of Camp Fire is to have charge of the arrangements, and to be hostess to the hundreds of delegates who will be present. In addition to many interesting meet- ings for the executives there is one which is for the general public, and which no Camp Fire Girls, parents of Camp Fire Girls, or friends of Camp Fire will want to miss. That one is the Grand Ceremonial (or Grand Council Fire) which is to be put on in Orchestra hall on Monday evening, April 20 at 8 o'clock. Several hundred Chicago girls will be in ceremonial costume and will stage a ceremonial, which combines beauty, dignity, symbolism in a way, which once seen is never {orgotten. Winnetka Camp Fire Girls are planning to be present with their guardians. Further announcements concerning this will be made later but it is spoken of thus early that definite plans rray be made for as many Winnetka people as possible to attend. Miss Julia Spiegel will return to her home on Sheridan road the latter part of next week from the Northampton School for Girls. "ABRAHAM LINCOLN" IS NEXT COMMUNITY FILM] } Mo.

There was so much that was dramatic and interesting in the life of Lincoln that the great problem of the scenario writer was to select only the material which would make possible the presentation of a simple, consecutive story of his life.
