NO. 40 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, DECEMBER 8, 1928 i PRICE FIVE CENTS HOROWITZ WILL PLAY IN GREAT GYMNASIUM Master Pianist of the Decade to Play Here Dec. 26; Tickets at All Drug Stores Unprecedented demand for tickets to the recital to be given by Vladimar Horowitz, brilliant Russian pianist, un- der auspices of the Winnetka Music club December 26, has resulted in the announcement that the recital will be given in the new gymnasium of the New Trier High school where an audi- ence of approximately 5,000 can be ac- coramodated. That the New Trier gymnasium is to receive a capacity audience on the night of December 26, is to be re- garded as a foregone conclusion, for, everywhere in the vicinity of Chicago music lovers are simply clamoring for the opportunity to hear again and again, this brilliant young master who, less than a year ago, came to America, virtually unheralded, only to receive universal acclaim as the outstanding pianist of the decade. The Winnetka Music club thus finds itself in the po- sition of presenting the second concert of its current Artist-Recital series in the largest available auditorium ii the township. Tickets at Drug Stores Tickets for the Horowitz recital will be on sale in all Wilmette and Kenil- worth drug stores, and may also be obtained at the Winnetka State bank. Regular subscribers to the Artist- Recital series are assured of first choice of seats for the recital, it is announced. All seats will sell at $2.50, except in the balcony, which is to be reserved for students, at $1.50. Mrs. Harry Street in charge of ticket sales in Winnetka. Mrs. Sidney Bartlett, in charge of sales in Hub- bards Woods with headquarters at the Hubbards Woods pharmacy. Mrs. Dwight C. Orcutt has charge in Glen- coe, and Mrs. Everett Harris, in Wil- mette. "Not since the debut of Paderewski has the adjective "sensational" been applied to a pianist," writes a noted American critic, "until Vladimar Toro- witz appeared on the scene to awaken memories of Rubenstein and provoke emotional raptures usually associated with the offerings of operatic stars, or the more temperamental virtuosi of the violin." "Arrives" Overnight "Mr. Horowitz," this critic continues, "is a young man of 24, who has at- tained that most difficult goal, a posi- tion of eminence in the overcrowded field of pianists.... in this day an al- most unheard of feat. The great pian- ists are for the most part men of ma- ture experience, who have mounted the ladder painfully and slowly. This young Russian has pre-empted. a place for hims€lf almost overnight. He seems to feel the pulse of his audience, and casts a palpable spell over them. His playing abounds in contrast--a gamut of airy pianissimo and thunder- ing bass, and the result is overpower- ing." It will be first come, first served in the purchase of seats for the Horowitz recital. In This Issue Automobile Section ...Pages 63-69 Real Estate Section ...Pages 71-80 Boy Scout Activities ......

Indian Hill Folk Hear of Greater Playfield Project Enlargement of the Skokie Playfield golf course and the construction of a new club house, to place that recrea- tion on a par with the finest of north shore golfing centers, is an important item in the general improvement pro- gram of the Winnetka Park district for the near future. Information to that effect was given to the members of the Indian Hill Im- provement association last Monday evening by Sidney G. L. Wellbeloved, member of the Park district, at the semi-annual meeting of that organi- zation. Felix Lowy, president of the asso- ciation, was chairman of the meeting which was attended by about one hun- dred members. Mr. Wellbeloved also told the Indian Hill residents of the "leasing" of the strip of railroad property located be- tween the North Western railroad right-of-way and Center street, extend- ing north from Winnetka avenue, which is to be maintained as a Park under supervision of the Park district. A comprehensive analysis of the actual functioning of Winnetka's mu- nicipal government was made at last Monday's meeting by Village Man- ager H. I. Woolhiser, who presented an extremely interesting report of the operation of the various departments of the administration. Members of the Indian Hill associa- tion later engaged in a discussion of the alleged "epidemic of reckless driv- ing" by motorists on Winnetka streets. Various suggestions as to remedial measures were referred to the execu- tive board of the association for fur- ther consideration. HEAR EASTERN MINISTER Dr. Nehemiah Boynton of Newton Center, Mass., will preach at the Win- netka Congregational church tomorrow morning at the 11 o'clock services. His sermon topic will be, "Mustard Seeds and Mountains."

The Winnetka Chamber of Commerce has accordingly laid its plans for the joyous greeting. The Chamber members, one learns, will leave nothing undone to guarantee such a royal reception as only Win- netka can provide. The Chamber officers have appointed a committee which will see to it that the tall evergreen tree in the Hubbard Woods park, the stately old elm in the station park at Elm street and the picturesque tree in the park at Indian Hill, just north of Winnetka avenue, are brightly illuminated for the occa- sion. Fixtures for this purpose purchased by the Chamber of Commerce last year, will be used again at this time. Village Manager H. L. Woolhiser has agreed to have the installation work done within the next few days and the Village will" furnish the "juice." The work will be done by the electrical department and the Chamber of Commerce will assume the expense, the committee in charge of this feature being Omer Porter, chairman; E. C. Weissenberg, Gerald Roach, R. F. Doepel and Gerald Lieb- schutz.
