Social Happenings in Wilmette and Kenilworth

Carleton Kaumeyer, of Wilmette, who is one of the artists to appear in a joint recital on the evening of Monday, December 12, with Mrs. Albert Pick, Jr., of Winnetka, pianist, and Eugene Dressler, tenor, at the Evanston Woman's club, has an interesting violin in his possession which will be used on this occasion. The instrument is known as La Scala Guarnarius, and was made by Joseph Guarnarius in the year 1725 at Cremona, Italy. Some years ago, Mr. George Hart, a wealthy Englishman, and a famous violin connoisseur, discovered the violin at the La Scala Opera house at Milan, Italy, and purchased it for his collection. It later was owned by several of the nobility and still later was sent to the United States, where it was purchased by Joseph Hawley, of Pittsburgh, a multi-millionaire. Upon Mr. Hawley's death, Lyon and Healy of Chicago purchased his entire collection, and it was here in Chicago that Mr. Kaumeyer found it about seven years ago. Mrs. Pick and Mr. Kaumeyer recently appeared on an interesting program at the residence of Mrs. Albert Pick in Winnetka, for the benefit of the Dorcas Home. Mr. Dressler is soloist with the Apollo Club of Chicago.
