December 11, 1926 WINNETKA TALK Warn Merchants Against Taking Worthless Checks Banking officials of the north shore have warned merchants to watch out "King of Nomania" Play Delights Large Audience "King of 'Nomania," a Christmas play written especially for children by Percival Wilde, was presented by the dramatic department of the Skokie for the seasonal tide of bad check [school last Friday and Saturday eve- passers. Already a number of worth- [nings before a record attendance of less checks have been passed in Wil-|about 800 people. The curtain rose mette and Winnetka, it is said. Strangers enter stores and offer checks in part or full payment on mer- chandise purchased, or they make out larger checks and get change, mak- ing the merchant loser for the price of the article and the amount of the change. Christmas is the season when these strangers flock to the stores, the bank- ers warn. During the rush season rules on identification before accept- ing checks are lax, and the merchants are the losers. To be sure that tle check offered is O. K., the banking officials suggest that the purchaser identify 'himself before he is allowed to take over his purchase. Music School Recital to Offer Special Features Walter Spry of the Columbia School of Music will present several of his north shore pupils in recital, Saturday afternoon, December 11, at 3 o'clock, at the school, 545 Lincoln avenue. In addition to Mrs. I. B. Connor, Mrs. Marcus Richards, Miss Helen Pope, Constance Connor and Marion Reuss, who will appear on the pro- gram, he is bringing Howard Feiges of Chicago, the talented boy pianist. This young artist will play Rondo C major (two pianos, with Mr. Spry at one piano), by Chopin, and the Pre- lude and Fugue, D minor, by Bach, and Scherzo from the Scotch Symphony by Mendelssohn. Another famous and talented musician is Evelyn Martin Goetz who will play Ballade G minor by Chopin. Following the recital there will be a social gathering in the studio rooms. Anyone interested is invited to attend the recital. Hail "Follies Afloat" as Unqualified Success "Follies Afloat," a musical comedy- minstrel presented in the Skokie school auditorium under the auspices of the Square club of the Winnetka Masons, Wednesday and Thursday evenings of this week attained great success before audiences of between seven and eight hundred people. Writ- ten by and produced under the direc- tion of George Bainbridge, well known Chicago producer, it represented some- thing new and original in the way of minstrels. Unlike the ordinary minstrel it boasted of a plot, having to do with the cruise undertaken by "Captain Farren" in his good ship "Winnetka." The cast portrayed all of the charac- ters which would ordinarily go toward making up a ship's crew, officers, cab- in boys, passengers, and deck hands. Popular songs, dancing specialties and comedy scenes were injected at fre- quent intervals and added in making the play the well-rounded preformance that was presented at Skokie.
