40 WINNETKA TALK March 24, 1928 North Shore Public Invited to Wilmette Art Exhibit Wilmette Artists to Exhibit Work at Wilmette Club ~~ BYW. W. How many of our neighbors are artists, and what kind of work do they do? The Woman's club of Wilmette will answer this question to your com- plete satisfaction through its Annual Art exhibition, which commences Fri- day evening, March 30, and which will continue until April 12. The opening of the exhibition will be celebrated, on the evening of March 30, by a recep- tion for members of the club and their invited guests. The public is invited to view the exhibition on the following Saturday and Sunday afternoon and evening, or on any other afternoon while it continues. There will be no charge for admission. The clubhouse of the Woman's club is at the corner of Tenth street and Greenleaf avenue. It is not generally appreciated that a very large number of well known Chicago artists are residents of Wil- mette and neighboring communities. This is a fact, however, and it is a fact that should be a source of interest and pride to everyone who is properly loyal to our home community. The annual art exhibitions of the Woman's club have become recognized as a common meeting ground, where artists of even more than national reputation and talented amateurs may come together on a basis of friendly co-operation, and give their neighbors the privilege of enjoying the work that they have done. The value of this privilege may be: more readily understood, when it is recalled that the exhibitions have been visited by many famous artists, who have found them well worthy of their attention. The privilege of exhibiting is con- firmed to present or former residents of Wilmette. In many communities, a restriction of this kind would prevent a successful art exhibition, but the roster of artists whose works have been seen at past exhibitions in the Woman's club is evidence that no such condition prevails here. William Schmedtgen has shown many of his beautiful and realistic pictures of game birds and his sketches of life on the Mexican frontier. Charles Morgan has exhibited his marvelous mosaics and many of the pastels which he has made on his European trips. Portraits by Mrs. Marie Lusk have been shown : and one very interesting feature of last year's exhibition was the collec- tion of original sketches by Carey Orr, the cartoonist who is helping to mould history on the Chicago Tribune. Many former residents of Wilmette also come back home for the exhibi- tion. It has been some time since William R. Watson moved to Ravinia, but his exquisite landscapes are still features of the show at the Woman's club. Mr. and Mrs. Cady Ewell also remember their old neighbors when exhibition time comes around, and the works of these two talented artists are bound to be outstanding features of the show. Another old resident of Wilmette, who brings her latest achievements back for the edification and delight of her former neighbors, is Anita Willetts Burnham whose home is now the one surviving log cabin on the north shore. All the attractive features of the exhibitions do not come from profes- sional artists, however. Among the exhibits have been paintings by suc- cessful business men, to whom painting is a recreation and a rest. There have also been many very worth while works of painting, sculpture and other forms of art, by clever boys and girls Sets Wedding Day daughter of Miss Elaine Burgess, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest H. Burgess of Kenilworth, has chosen Saturday, April 21, for her wedding to Norwood Burch, son of Mr. and Mrs. William E. Burch of Evanston. The wedding will take place at the First Methodist church in Evanston and will be follow- ed by a reception for about one hun- dred guests at the Burgess home, 122 Melrose avenue. The maid of honor will be the bride- elect's sister, Mira, and the brides- maids will be Miss Lida Raymond of Winnetka and Miss Marion Kawin of Evanston. Henry Penfield is to be Mr. Burch's best man, and Theodore Burgess and Harry Mayhew will be ushers. The first of the pre-nuptial parties will be given on Saturday, April 7, by Mrs. Thomas Wolfe, Jr., and Mrs. Harold Anderson, both of Evanston. Circle Notes Mrs. W. F. Thiehoff of 1172 Hamp- tondale road will entertain the Rose- wood «circle Friday, March 30, at 2 o'clock. The members will discuss plans for the card party on April 9. Mrs. R. C. Papa and Mrs. A. W.

All are cordially invited. who are going to be heard from later on, In fact, one of the outstanding features of the annual art exhibitions of the Woman's club of Wilmette is their democracy--their dedication, as a matter of community service, to the assistance and encouragement of everyone who either creates or appre- ciates a work of art. Wednesday and Thursday of next week are the last days to receive pic- tures and art craft for exhibition. Elinor Woodward Selects Members of Bridal Party Miss Elinor Woodward has chosen both the date and the attendants for her marriage to Ansel McBride Kin- ney. The Rev.
