Camp Fire Introduces "Rough Riders" Movie The Winnetka Camp Fire girls in- troduced the picture, "The Rough Riders," shown March 16 at Com- munity House, with a sketch illustrative of the meaning of Camp Fire. Mrs. John Marshall, a Winnetka guardian, directed the girls, and Mrs. Eloise Wortley was guardian of the fire. The girls formed a semi-circle on the stage and gave the hand sign of Camp Fire. Then they sang their welcome song and gave the law of the Fire. Mrs. Wortley gave a few words telling what Camp Fire stands for. The Woodgatherers brought fagots, the Firemakers prepared the fire, and the Torchbearers lighted it. "Burn, Fire, Burn" was sung as the curtains closed. The simple, effective stage setting was arranged by Burton H. Atwood, Jr. director of moving pictures at Community House. Fourteen girls had part in the sketch. Emily Nell Simpson, Hazel Knox, Harriet Atwood, and Mildred Olsen were Torchbearers. The Firemakers were Janet Marshall, Dorothy Prouty, and June Heyda, and Woodgatherers included Virginia Long, Margaret Meleney, Mary McFadzean, Ruth Jack- son, Ethel Pierce, Helen Stultz, and Louise Varney. Would Like Phonograph for Hospital Patients Music may have charms, but the Chicago Tuberculosis hospital, con- ducted in connection with the Cook County hospital, knows not of them. Mrs. Stephen Foster, chairman of the Occupational Therapy department of the hospital, wonders if some north shore family, alienated from the old phonograph by a new radio, would give the Victrola to cheer the patients who lie for months with nothing to amuse them. Mrs. Foster would be glad to call for the instrument or for any records to be used on it. She may be reached at Winnetka 1770. Exhibit Ingerle Paintings Next Week at Center Rudolph Ingerle's exhibit of paint- ings and sketches will open Wednes- day evening, March 28, at 8 o'clock in Matz hall, Community House. The members of the North Shore Art League and their friends are urged to be present, and 'others who are par- sicularly interested are welcome to come that evening. At 8:45 a motion picture will be shown, telling the story of mountaineer life in the Great Smoky mountains of North Carolina. Almost all of the actors in this picture are real mountain folk. After the showing of the picture, Mr. Ingerle will give a talk on painting among these people. Many of the works he is exhibiting had these mountains for their subject. The exhibit will be open to the pub- lic until Friday, April 6. Matz hall will be open on Sunday, March 31, and Mr. Ingerle himself may be present at this time. The members of the League are busy at present with plans for the Fourth Annual Art exhibit, to be held in the ball room of the Orrington hotel, Evan- ston, under the auspices of the Evan- ston University Guild.
