Tuesday Scandinavian Church to Give Xmas Program Sunday The Sunday school of the First Scandinavian Evangelical church of Winnetka is planning two Christmas programs this year, as in past years, it being necessary on account of the limited facilities for accommodating those who always attend these pro- grams. The Primary and Beginners department will observe their Christmas Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock. The parnets of the little tots are especially invited to this service. The Juniors, Intermediates and Senior classes of the school will have their program on Christmas Day, at 7 o'clock in the evening. They are planning to ob- serve a "White Christmas," each one bringing a present, wrapped in white, which will be sent to some orphans' home. x The job printing department's most important message to you this week is: Merry Christmas!

Wintry Blasts Give Promise of Activity for Winnetka Skaters The skating rinks in the parks at Hubbard Woods, Indian Hill and Sko- kie Playfield were ready for use this week with the appearance of real win- try weather. With freezing weather prevailing, the Park board promises good ice for the holiday season. A very gratifying response has been received to the plan instituted by the Park board to finance the cost of operating the rinks, over 300 member- ships having been issued to date by Sanborn Hale, the Park district treas- urer, with many applications coming in daily. This indicates that with skating wea- ther prevalent, the community will very generally support the plan to assist the Park board in providing adequate skating facilities. The fee for family memberships is one dollar, for which buttons are issued to each member of the family. The fee for persons not holding memberships is 50 cents for adults, and 25 cents for children for each day's use of the rinks. In This Issue Society News ..............

That promises to be the situation upon the occasion of the appearance of Vladimir Horowitz, sensational Russian pianist, at the Leslie F. Gates Memorial gymnasium, New Trier High school, Wednesday evening, December 26. Demand for tickets to this Winnetka Music club program--one of the regu- lar Artist-Recital offerings of the cur- rent season--indicates a crowded house next Wednesday night, even though the club has found it necessary to present the program in the expansive new gymnasium rather than in the less spacious high school auditorium where the Artist-Recitals are customarily held. This demand for an opportunity to hear the foremost pianist of the decade has, of course, been unprecedented. The Horowitz recital will attract the largest audience ever to attend a north shore music event. Balcony Open to All It has been emphasized that balcony seats, sold at a reduced price to ac- commodate students, also are available to others. The designation as "stu- dent section," it is explained was made merely to attract students of music who would otherwise find it impossible to hear the master pianist, because of the higher cost of main floor seats. Holders of Artist-Recital season tick- ets will be given the best main floor seats in exchange for tickets applying to this recital, and with no added charge. A section" of the auditorium has been reserved for season patrons. Music critics have exhausted their supplies of adjectives in attempting to convey to the public an adequate impression of the great Horowitz. After attending last Sunday's recital in Orchestral hall. a leading critic said: More Than a Master "Horowitz showed _ himself something more than a mere master of the piano. The instrument even with all its pos- sibilities, was entirely subordinate to the personality of the artist himself. Horo- witz is a young man of slight stature but of almost superhuman command of the piano and with a power of expres- sion that is relatively miraculous. His fingers flew up and down the keyboard with uncanny speed and yet with unfail- ing accuracy. His playing of the Chopin etudes exhibited this marvelous dexterity. But joined to this agility was an ability to produce fortissimo passages, not with mere mechanical force, but with a dyn- amic intensity that was astounding. "But those who have heard Horowitz know that he is equally able to render adequately the lighter, more delicate por- tions of the pieces composing his pro- grams. Again his fingers fly over the keys but now producing almost inaudible tones. Almost inaudible but still each tone receives its full value. As one al- most spell-bound listener in last Sunday afternoon's audience expressed it, 'He's not a miracle; he's a mystery! " Transfiguring Personality Edward Moore of the Chicago Tribune commented, in part, in this manner con- cerning Mr. Horowitz' Sunday recital: 'Take a pair of hands a little more efficient and alert than the most gifted mechanism ever attached te a piano, add to it an expert knowledge of everything (Continued on page 6)
