This festival is niot merely an Evanston enterp)rise' but, as its name, indicates, a festival ap.peling to and invoiving the city * of-Cic,-go and the èentire north shore. On the festiv'al nights auttomobiles, street. cars, and trains, xv1l1 transport thiousands to, the great concert hiall. Chicago and. al the north siore communiiiities inay weil be proud of its successesin former years and of its plans for future performiances. Many xii miss thiis year the famnilial: and genial face of Dean Lutkin. For years he bas been the center of the festival..But he lias handed the director's baton to a In .usician of international fanie, to a leader of long and valuale-experience with or- chestra and Chorus, to ani artist scholarly and execuitive-Fredlerick S tOck. The knowledge that 1\1.

We know of no ex- ception, to the gener.al truth that every concert camne up to- the'high-est expecta- tions.. In several, instances we know th.at concerts excee.dedý expectations. We, think it woithy of note,,that.so high a standardof value has been. main- tainied. for so lonig.a period as seveni years.., The. sponsors of the recitals might have. been forgiven ,had thèy aliowed the s'tand- ard to droop a trifle. But the drooping bas not occurred, and no forgiveness -is n.eces- sary~ Many people want good things, some knýlow definitely. xvhat these good things are, but onfly a few gýo after and get thiese gô.od things year after year. North shore miusic loyers'owve invuh to t'le W,"iinetka Mutsic club. These recitals have been excèedingly pleasurable -and profitable. The admission price- has been low. The location *of 'the recital huall is central. Perhaps the rnost adequate ap- preciation is the iuimediate subscribing, -for next season's recitals.
