Winnetka Woman Is Impressed With The Growth of Florida Some interesting facts about Florida were told by Mrs. Caleb Busick, 1408 Asbury avenue, in a letter to a Win- netka friend recently. Mrs. Busick has just returned from a month's trip through the state and was much im- pressed with the boom now in progress. "I was amazed at the hugh improve- ments on the east coast all the way down," says Mrs. Busick in her letter, "the fine new four to ten story build- ings, the subdivisions and beautiful homes. The first thing that struck my eye was not the beautiful Spanish architecture but its colorings. We have nothing like it up here and all Florida is brightened up with all the colors of the rainbow in the stucco buildings. "Orlando, to my viewpoint, is the queen city of Florida. Its location, its natural beauties--it has 37 beautiful small lakes within the city limits, which make it the most attractive of Florida cities. It has two railroads, four large banks, many beautiful large churches and club buildings, a pottery plant and other interesting and productive in- dustries."

Ashley Gerhard said that the mission had been a great success, large numbers at- tending every evening in spite of ad- verse weather conditions. ALBERT SPALDING NEXT WINNETKA CLUB ARTIST Great American Violinist to Ap- pear at New Trier Auditorium Tuesday, February 16 Albert Spalding, famous American violinist, will give a recial under the auspices of the Winnetka Music club on Tuesday evening, February 16, at 8:30 o'clock. Inasmuch as Spalding is not only America's greatest violinist but also one of the three of the four world's greatest, this recital promises a rare and real treat to music lovers. A few facts concerning Albert Spalding as a violin virtuoso will in- dicate his rank in the field of music. The New York Symphony orchestra has chosen him as soloist 36 times, and the Chicago Symphony, 19 times. He has given recitals in almost every country of the civilized world. Distinguished in War Last vear he had the distinction of being the first American to sit as a judge at the examinations of the Paris Conservatory. This year he has moved Parisians to tears at the opera by his interpretation of the Respighi Concerto with Koussevitzky's orchestra--a work which he will introduce to this country this vear. For his distinguished war services he was decorated with the Cross of the Crown of Italy by the Ttalian government. Recent press comments on Spalding's playing read: "Albert Spalding is the equal of the world's best violin artists. No violin playing that I know has greater con- tent of spiritual and sensuous beauty. None of his colleagues of the present day have a wider range of tone, a subtler, more variedly used expressive nuance, a more compelling message." "In selecting the 100% perfect artists, among the violinists I would choose Fritz Kriesler and Albert Spalding." "Another Kriesler has come to town." "A credit to himself, to his country and to his art." "Albert Spalding has the great power of fascinating all who listen to him, because it seems that he expresses with his violin in a language sublime and rare, the most exquisite sensations of his great artist's soul." "Mr. Spalding is today in the front rank of the world's violinists." P.T.A.
