kod WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 1925 TWO BIG FILMS HERE NEXT WEEK "Captain Blood" Is Week- End Feature Two excellent pictures will be offered by Community House next week when Reginald Denny, in "The Fast Worker," is featured on Tuesday and Rafael Sab- atini's "Captain Blood" will occupy the screen at Friday and Saturday perform- ances. "Captain Blood" is the story of Peter Blood (played by J. Warren Kerrigan) a young Irish physician, who, because he gives medical aid to a follower of the Duke of Monmouth in his rebellion against King James, is condemned as a slave to the Barbados. During an at- tack on the West Indies colony by the Spaniards, who sack the town, Blood and his fellow rebel-convicts capture the en- emy's galleon and sail for Tortugo, the rendezvous of the pirates. Blood leaves behind the girl he loves, Arabella, niece of the governor. The rebel-convicts organize, and Blood becomes leader of the buccaneers. His name is a terror to all who sail the West Indian seas. Blood joins the French flag and is tricked by the avaricious admiral of the fleet. His persecutor, King James, is dethroned, and Captain Blood enlists under the English flag. He pursues the French traitor and in a terrific sea fight saves Port Royal for England and res- cues Arabella from the besiegers. "Captain Blood" will be shown at Community House next Friday and Sat- urday. At the Friday evening perform- ances a special musical act will be offered by Dick Haskins and Darrell Downs who are members of Ted Morse's orchestra. COUNTRY DAY PUPILS TO PRESENT AN OPERA "The Gondoliers" a Gilbert and Sul- livan opera, will be given by the North Shore Country Day school Music de- partment Friday at 2:30 and Saturday at 8 o'clock, April 17 and 18, at the school. The production is in the hands of the Opera club, an organiza- tion of high school boys and girls. Sixty-nine students will take part, in- cluding 10 leads. All the parts are sung by students. "The Gondoliers, or "The King of Barataria" is a typical Gilbert and Sullivan opera with a plot of mixed identities. It is laid chiefly in Venice around 1750. The scenery, painted by the high school students, is designed and super- vised by Ben Knotts, formerly of Hull House theatre. Mr. Knotts has paint- ed scenery for the Chicago Opera com- pany. The costumes are in charge of a student chairman, Margaret Emily Lynde. Miss Nina Babcock, director of Music at the school, is training the opera. The Parents' Music commit- tee, assisting Miss Babcock and the Opera club, is composed of Mrs. Arthur R. Dean, chairman, Mrs. Cor- nelius Lynde, Mrs. Walter Marx, Mrs. Oliver Knode, and Mrs. Francis Lack- ner. The seats for the Saturday evening performance are reserved and may be secured through John McEwen, busi- ness manager, or through members of the cast. SMALL AUDIENCE HERE, BUT A 'LARGE' CONCERT By MUSIC CRITIC On Friday evening, April 3, the Northwestern university band gave a concert at Skokie school for the benefit of the Skokie school band fund. For some reason the attendance was very small. Those who were absent missed a very enjoyable evening of ensemble numbers and solos. Those who were present demanded and received many encores. The instrumental soloists were an appreciated addition to a program that was unusually pleasing, not merely for its spirit of enthusiasm and the evident enjoyment of the players themselves, but also for its musicianly qualities. The balance of parts, good intonation, and feeling for rhythm were all grate- fully received by the audience. The soloists on flute and french horn gained much admiration for thir skill and tone. Mr. Meltzer, leader of the band, de- serves much credit for the work done by his players. The training of a group of college men into bandsmen is no easy undertaking. Mr. Meltzer has been engaged to train the Skokie school band, which is at present in embryo. "Old Guard" Golfer Still Shows 'Em How The north shore golfers received some "bouquets" in a recent issue of the Sacra- mento, Cal, Star-News which will be of interest to their friends in this vicin- ity. The comment reads: "John M. Witherspoon, one of the grand old guard of Chicago golfers, who was president of the famous Skokie club 20 years ago, is a member of the winter golfers' colony here from the East. Mr. Witherspoon enjoyed a fine round of golf yesterday at Pasadena Golf club. He and Walter H. Cox of Pasadena club were partners against W. E. Engler, an- other Skokie man, and W. W. Gandy member of Midland Valley club, St. Louis. Mr. Witherspoon and Mr. Cox cap.ured the match, 5 to 4."
