gs WINNETKA TALK November 26, 1927 5 WATSON ART LECTURES | SWELL LEAGUE'S FUND "Modern Art" Is Subject of Final Lecture Before Art League at Winnetka Center With "Modern Art" as his subject, Dudley Crafts Watson gave the last of his series of six lectures Monday eve- ning at Winnetka Community House. Matz hall was crowded for each of the lectures, making the series a splendid financial success. About 300 season tickets were sold and an average of forty tickets for the individual lectures were sold at the door. The lectures were given under the auspices of the North Shore Art league. Mrs. Albert H. Ullrich of Wilmette was general chairman for the lectures, and, working with her was a chairman for each of the north shore towns, Mrs. Gordon Wilson was the Wilmette chairman; E. L. Nygaard, Kenilworth; Mrs. Henry Tenney, Winnetka; Mrs. James Cady Ewell, Ravinia; Rudolph Ingerle, Highland Park; Mrs. Dorothy Ross, Glencoe; and Mrs. Van Wagenen Alling, Lake Forest. Ponder Use for Fund The board will meet next Wednes- day evening and will discuss what dis- position shall be made of the money realized from Mr. Watson's lectures. The board has a number of ideas in mind as to the use of the money. In his lecture Monday evening, Mr. Watson pointed out that we now have a more creative art, with less copying than formerly. Although this is now expressed in a childish way, out of it will grow something big, he believes. The best of our art today will live and will grow in the future. Out of the new art will develop a type that will be acceptable, as out of modern music has come a very fine and beautiful form that has been accepted. Mr. Watson illustrated his talk with slides of pic- tures of various modern artists. Need "American" Architecture Mr. Watson discussed modern arch- itecture as well as art. We should, he thought, have a true American form of architecture, and he pointed out that we are developing this. He cited the capitol of Nebraska as a fine type of pure American architecture, and re- marked that we have a type of the plains as well as the towering steel construction. Mr. and Mrs. William H. King, Jr, 942 Tower road, returned home Thurs- day from the East where they had attended the Princeton-Yale and the Harvard-Yale football games. They also visited Mr. King's father and mother in Webster, Mass., and friends in New York and Boston.

EBERLE General Insurance Room 9, Rapp Building PHONE WINNETKA 858 doled RE Fak A ha aha N. Landon Hoyt Buys Glengables at Glencoe The Glengables Tea room and apart- ment building at 376 Park aveaue, has been sold to N. Landon Hoyt, of Winnetka, but in the same sentence, it is requested that this statement also be made, that it will continue to be operated, just as it has been, and in the same high grade manner. P. W. Bradstreet & Son of 788 Elm stree, Winnetka, were the real estate brokers who negotiated the sale and they announce that Mr. Hoyt will take title to the property as soon as the details of the sale are concluded. The citizens of Gleacoe who, a few years ago purchased the property as an apartment for Glencoe school teachers, and under whose direction it has since been operated, were prompted in this public spirited movement at that time in order that the teachers might be assured of a homelike atmosphere coupled with the companionship of a residence common to all. The village, since those days, has grown, and there is not the necessity, the former owners of Glengables have found, for retaining the property for the primary convenience of the teach- ers. The Tea room, especially, has always enjoyed a spleadid, growing patronage, and the demands of the public will continue to be catered to in the same manner, as heretofore, it is explained. Specs Missing? 5 Pairs at the Community House The Winnetka Community House staff found many things for which to be thankful, Thursday, and the mem- bers did not overlook any opportunity within their power to make others thankful, as well. They were thwarted in one of their objectives, however, and that was in their effort to locate the owners of five pairs of eye glasses, or spectacles, which have accumulated in the lost and found department, at Community House, during the past few days. If you have lost yours and can- not find them, perhaps they are here.
