WILMETTE LIFE February 15, 1929 'Neighbors Group At Kenilworth ClubHolds Its Annual Birthday Luncheon It seems hardly possible that artists as great as Lee Pattison, Alfred Wallenstein, and Virginia Wallenstein should make a joint appearance in Kenilworth, but suc'h was the case last Friday evening at the Kenilworth club. Words are inadequate to describe in any way the beauty of the work of these artists, each one the last word in his particular way. Mrs. Wallenstein, so very beautiful to see, playing the accompaniments for her husband with such grace and surety; Mr. Wallenstein. master as he is of the 'cello and playing the difficult sonatas of Brahms or Debussy with such feeling and ease; and Mr. Pattison producing such exquisite music from his piano, making Chopin music flow out to his audience with a poignancy so subtle and strong, that the last notes of the "Nocturne" seemed to come from some unknown source and to melt "away into silence as though they were loth to cease." It was one of the finest programs ever presented at the club. \Valter Marx is chairman of the entertainment committee. This Friday evenin'{ the Kenilworth club is having a Valentine supperbridge with Mrs. Paul Bradley and Mrs. Arthur Wakeley as . hostesses. This is just a little late for Valentine's day, twenty- four hours in fact, but ~ives promise of having the valentine spirit in full just the same. Next week Friday the second lecture by Dudley Craits \Vatson will be given. This will be on "The Enjoyment of ~Iodern Painting" and will be followed by an exhibition of American paintings and etchings. . ~fr. and Mrs. Thomas Coyne, 2-+0 Melrose avenue, and Mr. and Mrs. \\'alter A.

And .. of 22 Opera Directors Echoed "Steinway!" 18 Out STILL another overwhelming majority of Steinway owners at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York! In addition to 63 out of its 68 box holders, 18 of the Metropolitan's board of 22 directors also have Steinways in their homes. Their choice has long been reflected on the North Shore ... in homes where piano price is no object and musical beauty is paramount also in homes where economy is essential and love of fine music is no less real-where true econon1y is achieved in the Steinway's lifetime of service and absence of expensive upkeep. The Neighbors will meet on Tuesday, February 19, for the annual birthday party. This annual occasio11 is always celebrated in some unusual way. In the past seasons, home talent plays have been given or musical programs presented. During the last few years the members have enjoyed a luncheon together at which toasts h~ve been made and responded to by many of the neighbors, among whom have been those who were members of the club in its infancy and who returned to the club for this birthday occasion. This year Mrs. Harry Weese as social chairman will have charge of ~ luncheon. Mrs. Vibe Spicer, whose fame for wit and poetry is national, will act as toastmistress.
