Catholic League T erm Opens Faii·. Fine Arts Program Reading of "Monsieur Beaucaire/' and Soprano Solos on ~irst Fall Program BY R. L. P. The North Shore Catholic Woman's Jeague began its season Tuesday afternoon, October 9, in the cozy, redecorated rooms of the Winn.e tka Woman's club. Warm rose chair covers and soft gray rugs blent harmoniously with the brightly colored cretonne curtains, .and made just the right background for such a friendly group. Mrs. William Schildgen, president of the league, graciously presided at the meeting and at the reception for members following the program. . Mrs. Esther Lehrbas Harcourt gave a dramatic reading of Booth Tarkington's popular story, . "Monsieur Beaucaire." This is a picture of the typical eighteenth century Frenchman, lover of adventure, chivalry and romance. The scene is laid in Bath, England, where Monsieur .B eaucaire, haughty, gay, roguish, regal, revengeful but always polished, subtle and a beau, goes for a little gaming. He gains an entry into the English society as a duke of Chateaurien, and becomes the idol of all, even of the exquisitely regal Lady Mary,. with whom he falls in love. Just as Lady Mary is about to confess her love for him, Beaucaire is denounced as a servant, and after dramatic episodes is revealed as the Duke of Orleans, cousin of Louis XV of France. Mrs. Harcourt gave a masterly interpretation of the character of Beaucaire, and vividly brought out that of the Duke of Wintersmett who was discovered by Beaucaire to be a cheat at cards. Her voice was flexioble and lent itself gracefully to all the nuances of the moods, and her reading was pleasing in every way. Mrs. Florence MacLeod Royal, soprano, gave a group of solos, accompanied expertly by Mrs. Leslie M. Paul. She chose such delightful numbet:s as "The Morning Wind," by Branscombe; "Florian's Song," b·; Godard; "The Lark Now Leaves His Watery Nest," by Parker; and "What an Irishman Means by Machree," by Gartlan. She sang with feeling and made clear the story of each song. She is a very charming soloist. This afternoon, at the home of Mrs. Frank Oelerich, 1201 Greenwood ave· nue, the fine arts department of the Woman's Catholic club of Wilmette is giving one of the 'finest programs it ever has presented. This department holds a meeting once each month at the homes of the club members, and provides a program of literature, art, and music, drawing from the club members for talent. Mrs. F. X.
