LEWIS Phone Wilmette 3552 1120 Central Ave, WILMETTE Joseph Schwarz to Appear in Recital Next Tuesday Night Highland Park is the only com- munity in the vicinity of Chicago which will have the opportunity of hearing Joseph Schwarz, baritone, formerly of the Chicago Civic Opera company, in an entire recital this sea- son, the great artist not appearing even in Chicago in an entire pro- gram, though he made a sensational success there when he appeared in a joint recital in December with Guiomar Novaes, the brilliant young Brazilian pianist, who is also to ap- pear in Highland Park later in the month. The Schwarz recital will be given at the Elm Place school Tues- day evening, February 9. Mr. Schwarz has just returned from making a large number of guest ap- pearances with the San Francisco Opera company, where he was ac- claimed one of the greatest artists who has sung with this company, which engages its artists from the Metropolitan and the Civic Opera companies. Born in Riga, Russia, Joseph Schwarz was at first a student of the piano, and then sang in the cathe- drals of his native city. In 1901 he went to Berlin and Vienna to com- plete his operatic studies. He made his debut in "Aida" at Linz, Bohemia, and after two seasons at Gratz and Riga, went to the Royal Opera in Vienna, and then to the Royal Opera in Berlin, where he was leading baritone. He made his first American appearance in Chicago, where Mary Garden brought him to the opera. Of this appearance one critic wrote: "Schwarz is a glory to the lyric stage.

In sponsoring the All-Star course, the Highland Park Community Shop committee is performing a double service, that of using the proceeds from the concerts to further the work being carried on by the Shop, and that of giving to the people of Highland Park and the north shore the oppor- tunity of hearing the great artists in their own community. Many north shore institutions are benefited by the work of the Shop, these include Dorcas Home, Highland Park Y. W. C. A., Highland Park hospital, Arden Shore, Lake Bluff orphanage, and the Chicago Lighthouse.
