ng November 13, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 13 PUBLIC FORUM Editor, WINNETKA TALK: "Are you who live on the north shore aware of the numerious activi- ties of an organization that is rapidly | : : | just after the Chicago Fire. Twenty- gaining recognition as purveyors of good entertainment? "l was fortunate enough to be pres- ent at their last public appearance, which happened to be a minstrel given on November 4. Secretly I had not ex- pected to spend a very good -evening, and I was filled with an apprehension as to the size of the audience before whom 'they would perform. For in scanning my '"T'ALx' I had not seen a great deal of mention reagarding their intended performance. However, I was astonished at the large house they drew, and being an inquisitive sort of person I asked one of the members just how they were able to attract that number of persons with so little ad- vertising. His reply was this, 'Oh! One soon finds out when the public is given a show of such good quality.' "And that is just it. Their perform- ance was remarkable for I was given to understand that all the actors were amateurs, and their exhibition bord- ering on the professional. "You who have not had the oppor- tunity of being entertained by the 'North Shore Glee Club,' would do well to make yourselves acquainted with their activities and attend their affairs. "Any organization should be fos- tered whose interest is centered in the 'furthering of mens' chorus work, promotion of good, clean, entertain- ment, and of greater sociability on the north shore."" --A Supporter of the club.
