ETN TATE ro 28 WINNETKA TALK August 18, 1928 Skokie Gives Musicale; Many Brides Make Plans Skokie Sees Artist in Miss Jackson at Second Recital By RUTHEDA L. PRETZEL Miss Lorna Doone Jackson, contral- to of the Chicago Civic Opera com- pany, again appeared in one of the summer musicales at the Skokie Coun- try club. Many of those who heard her last year were present on Sunday afternoon, August 12, when she gave the third of this season's programs, for they remembered that Miss Jackson is not only good to hear but good to look at, and that her artistry is unques- tionable. Miss Jackson's voice has deepened and grown richer since last year, and in the full-voiced phrases it showed a greater amount of power. This was quickly made evident in her opening number, "Stride la Vampa!" from Il Trovatore, which you remember de- scribes the burning of the Gypsy wo- man's mother. The famous organist of Notre Dame, Widor, was the com- poser of the second number, "Non Credo," giving a French setting to a mystic poem of an oriental girl who doubted the divinity of Christ, until He made her blind father see. Miss Jackson's tones were delicately colored to follow the meaning of the words, and the dramatic note was well brought out. A tone poem by Maurice Ravel, "La Flute Enchante," followed, which was particularly enjoyed for its languorous beauty. The group closed with "Car- nival," a brilliant picture of a mardi- gras, which won hearty applause. An encore was demanded, and Miss Jack- son sang Sanderson's "Quiet," which pleased so must last year. It had the sustained rich tone that suited the words so admirably. Three moods of the Russian compo- sers made up her third group, "The Skylark," by Gretchaninoff; "The Rose Enslaves the Nightingale," by Rimsky-Korsakoff; and "Hopak," by Moussorgsky, all of which were inter- preted appropriately. An amusing encore, "The Housewife's Lament in the Springtime," and "By the Waters of Minnetonka," were offered, the lat- ter being especially well given. Miss Jackson would seem to have the make- up musically and emotionally to give it the right touch. Her last group was composed of a variety of moods, Dan- iels' "The Song of the Persian Cap- tive," Barnett's "The Singing Girl of Shan," Foster's "Dusk in June," Watts' "Wild Tears," and La Forges "Into the Light." In all of them Miss Jack- son showed a flexible voice that lent itself easily to the many different shadings. In response to the burst of applause bv the delighted audience, she gave "Habanera," the song the audience had waited impatiently for since the opening of the program. Here was the irresistible charm of the immortal flirt, Carmen, highly colored by Miss Jackson's own personality, and sung with the abandon it needs, but which few singers "get." An Andalusian folk song by Valverde, "Clavelitos," brought the afternoon to a close. Miss Tackson was splendidly supported by Miss Violet Martens at the piano. ~ Miss Louise Lackner, daughter of the Francis A. Lackners of 339 Linden avenue, is leaving today to visit for a weeks with Miss Ellen Stuart at levoix, Mich. When she returns she will be occupied with the many details incident to going away to school as she and her sister, Miss Antoinette, will be leaving the latter Jat of Sep- tember for Vassar. Miss L Lack- ner will make her debut at a Elected President Photo by Reich Miss Ruth Bowers, who was elected president of the Junior Woman's club of Wilmette early this summer. Miss Virginia Bixby is vice-president, Miss Virginia Hannah is secretary, and Miss Helen Ellis, treasurer.

North Shore Young People Favor Fall Month for Wedding With the approach of fall and the time when everyone is about to settle down from his or her vacation, many bride-elects have announced the plans, or the date at least, for their weddings. It does look as though September is beginning to be favored almost as much as June for weddings. Miss Dee Stoker seems to be the only Winnetka young woman who has definitely chosen the date of her wed- ding. She has decided on 8:30 o'clock, September 14, in her home. The rest of the plans for her wedding to Dr. Frederick W. Schacht of Racine, Wis. will be made after September 1, when Miss Stoker will return from her va- cation. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dee A. Stoker of 228 Myrtle street.
