April 10, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 15 PLAN SOCIAL PROGRAM | Stormy Night Is Odd Fellows to Have Busy Season of Degree Work and Entertainment in | April and May By A. H. H. On the evening of April 1, A. T. Sherman Lodge No. 892, 1. O. O. F,, held an entertainment for its members. As the theatrical troupe that had been retained for the evening was unable to come out from the city on account of the bad weather, an informal program of entertainment was carried out by talent selected from the members present. The augmented lodge orches- tra, consisting of a piano, two violins, a banjo, a harmonica, and a snare drum, furnished lively music. Refresh- ments were served, and it was reported as being a good sociable evening, en- joyed by all present. The entertainment committee of the lodge has arranged a tentative pro- gram for the next few succeeding weeks. This program is as follows: April 15--Initiatory degree by Sher- idan Lodge No. 662, of Highland Park. April 22--Open date. April 26--First degree by A. T. Sher- man Lodge No. 892, at Northbrook Schoolhouse, at the meeting of the North Shore Fraternal circuit. April 29--107th Anniversary of the Order. Celebration. May 6--Second degree. May 13--Card and bunco party. May 20--Third degree. May 27--Open date. June 18--Memorial services. PLAY FOR MASONS "The Buccaneers," a new dance or- chestra composed of New Trier high school boys, will furnish music at the monthly social evening to be held by the Wilmette Masonic lodge on Thurs- day, April 22. This orchestra has be- come very popular along the north shore recently. | Made Lovely BY MUSIC CRITIC Tuesday evening, April 6, was a hor- rible evening, from the point view of one who has a disgust for watery slush {od cold rain. The writer having this | point of view, was astonished to see on that evening so many people present at the last concert of the Symphony | Players in New Trier hall. Perhaps the | fact that two north shore neighbors | contributed an important number ac- counted for the size of the audience. It certainly was a unique occasion a composition by Miss Helen Sears pre- sented by Miss Agnes Pillsbury, with the very effective aid of Mr. Dasch's well known orchestra. The program opened with the per- formance of Schumann's D Minor Symphony. It was a brilliant number played with unsual skill and a fine feel- ing for proper tempo and finish. The second selection was Miss Sear's crea- tion, a Fantasy for piano and orches- tra presented by Miss Pillsbury with crispness and precision. We only wish that we might have heard her play a whole program. It would have been compensation for the delayed coming of spring. The audience liked the com- position and playing so much as to de- mand an encore. In the second half of the program appeared compositions by Saint-Saens Grieg, Dvorak, as well a Duet for Flute and Clarinette made by Alfred Quensel, an able and honored member of the Symphony Players. Mr. Quen- sel himself played the flute part in his own production, the clarinet part being played by Mr. Evenson. Mrs. Samuel Brown, 309 Fairview road, expects to return next week from Pittsburgh where has been visit- ing her sister.
