July 16, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 15 Roof Garden's Gala Opening Draws Big Crowd of Dancers With the stars winking overhead and myriad colored bulbs shedding a soft, romantic light over summery dresses, business suits and white napery, more than 200 people dined on the Orrington roof and danced to the music of Duke Bigelow's nine-piece orchestra at the gala opening Friday night. Striped awnings, potted trees and shrubs, music, Spanish architecture and "atmosphere" in the form of the little senorita who peddled smokes--all these contributed to the charm of the open- ing night. There are few things as enjoyable as dinner and a dance out-of-doors--a pleasure long denied to Evanstonians in their own city. Now, with the open- ing of the Orrington Roof garden, a splendid cusine and a dance-provoking | orchestra are combined to provide it. This latest entertainment venture in Evanston right at the start, proved as popular with the college set as with those who are slightly older. The first Friday night crowd was about equally divided between the two. Favorable comment heard on all sides testified to the pleasure of the first-nighters and the smooth, waxed concrete dance floor was comfortably filled whenever the orchestra was play- ing. The musicians were generous throughout the evening, responding to the enthusiasm of the dancers with wonderful music. The Roof garden will be open every night except Sunday from now on. The orchestra will play until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and until 9:30 p. m. on other nights.

TIL 1 he Undeserving does not long attract pub- lic faith and interest. He who seeks the support of honest people today must himself be honest and worthy. Institutions are, in this respect, like men. Evanston and the North Shore demand of every new institution entering civic life, foresight in the planning, efficiency in the functioning, and constant high ideals. Institutions that have succeeded here have been equal to the trust. : It is the ambition of the Evanston Academy of Fine Arts to reflect in its work the fine attitude of its en- vironment, and to bring something of permanent value into the lives of those it teaches here. me EVANSTON ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS Carlson Building, 636 Church St. Greenleaf 1674 CARL SCHEFFLER, Director Summer Session Fall Session
