Gun Victim’s Brilliant Talent, Striking Beauty Are Lauded by City Friends

Musical Ability and Vivid Personality Recalled by Teachers. BV HELEN LINDSAY Times Staff Writer Nothing but fond memories remain with members of the faculty at Arsenal Technical high school of Rheta Gardner Wvnekoop, for whose murderer Chicago police are searching. A talented violinist, the victim of one of the most baffling receni murders, is recalled as a girl of remarkable beauty and unusual brilliance. Her records in the school office show that she was an honor pupil during the years she attended Technical high school. One card discloses that she was recommended by her senior sponsor, Miss Hazel Doyle, for the Barton Bradley scholarship. Listed under the qualifications for this honor, Miss Doyle wrote: "High scholarship; fine ideals; eager to respond to any call; generous with talent; clear cut vocational objective, music.” Favorite With Teachers Both Mis Doyle and Mrs. Elizabeth Kaltz Cochrane, head of the music department of the school, recalled clearly the vivid and pleasing personality of the girl. Each commented on the shock the news of her murder would be to V. E. Dillard, who directed the Technical orchestra at the time the girl was concert mistress. “She was a favorite with all her teachers,” Miss Doyle said. “I never shall forget with what pride Mr. Dillard bowed and turned the direction of the orchestra over to her at the fifteenth anniversary banquet of the school. It was given in the Columbia Club, in May, 1927. before Rheta was graduated in January, 1928. “Rheta was particularly lovely that night. She wore a green evening gown and silver slippers, and her grace and poise were outstanding. Meredith Nicholson, who was seated at the speakers' table, turned his chair about, that he might watch her closely as she directed the orchestra. Nicholson Pays Tribute “When he was called upon to speak. Mr. Nicholson commented laughingly upon his inability to keep his attention from straying to the attractive young figure.” Miss Doyle recalled her recommendation for the scholarship. “Rheta was a person you couldn’t forget,” she said. “She was so beautiful. Her hair was a mass of red gold curls, and her skin was that peculiar milk-white that is sometimes seen with that shade of hair. Every motion she made was graceful and her talent could not be denied. Yet with it all, she had a most gracious and obliging personality. At the time that I was

Dolly —Literary Lion Dolly Invades New York —Says She was Petrified’ on First Airplane Trip. BY H. ALLEN SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—D011y Gann, whose fame in the past has been largely confined to Washington, today became New York's current literary lion by appearing at a Brooklyn department store to deliver a speech and to autograph copies of her opus "Dolly Gann's Book.”

Prior to her appearance on the lecture platform. Mrs. Gann graciously received a few reporters in the tearoom of the store, where she announced that she had not read Alice Roosevelt Long worth's new book. Since she is being feted as a literary' figure, the reporters asked her questions about her intimate literary life and sought to determine which authors are her favorites. “I have no favorites," she smiled. “I read a few books, yes. but mostly I read the papers. I actually devour the papers." “Did you dictate your own book?" she was asked. “Oh. no,” she replied. “I wrote it in longhand with paper, a pencil. or sometimes a fountain pen.” In her speech Mrs. Gann explained that she had come to New York by plane—"My very first trip in an airplane!” “To think," she exlaimed, “that men have invented a machine whereby they could fly through the air like birds! Was I nervous? My friends. I was petrified! But I,” she continued weetly, “am air minded.” She said that while she is in

But I remember Rheta clearly. “I felt that she was destined for great things in her vocation. “Shortly after her marriage I met her in the downtown district of Indianapolis. She told me then that she had married, but expressed her continued interest in music.” The girl's beauty left a lasting impression on Hugh McGibeny,

with whom she studied violin at the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music, and upon whom she called each time she visited Indianapolis after her marriage. “Her hair was like spun gold,” Mr. McGibeny said, in describing her. “The most unusual thing about her. however, was her eyes. They had golden lights ip them which seemed to penetrate the person at whom she was looking. ‘Suited for Stage Career’ “I was deeply concerned when I heard of her marriage, for I felt that she had talent. In addition to her gift in music, she had a personality which would most likely have made her successful on the stage.” When she was in Indianapolis last summer, Mrs. Wynekoop called on Mr. McGibeny, as was her custom on visits to this city. “She still was as lovely as ever,” Mr. McGibeny said, in recalling the visit. “I have a deep interest in all former pupils, and often serve in an advisory role with them, as a father would. But so far as I could tell, Rheta was very happy in her marriage, though still interested in mtisic.’’ Romance Started Here Earle Wynekoop. husband of the young woman, was as deeply impressed by her beauty as her former teachers. ‘When he first saw her, she was a member of a trio from the Irvington School of Music which furnished a part of the program at a reception in the home of Dr. Amelia R. Keller, 3515 Guilford avenue. The reception was given in honor of members of Nu Sigma Phi, medical sorority, which he was attending with his mother, Dr.*Alice Lindsay Wynekoop. The following day, young Wynekoop telephoned the Irvington Schoo 1 of Music, to learn Miss Gardner’s name and address. The acquaintance which was made at that time culminated in their marriage, Aug. 31, 1929. NOTRE DAME STAR ILL Tom Gorman, Center, in Hospital, But May Face Trojans.

SURVEY URGES AUTO LICENSE DATECHANGE March or June Expiration Would Aid Business, Is Prediction. Change of the automobile license year to bring its expiration on March 31 or June 30, instead of Dec. 31, would keep more than 2.500,000 normally stored cars on the highways during 1934 winter months, speed recovery by an estimated $310,000,000 in new business and result in increased revenue to the states, according to a study by The Gasoline Retailer. The study shows a gain in gasoline gallonage and auto service j trade effecting delay on registration ; at the beginning of 1933. With the \ expiration of licenses on Dec. 31. when motorists often are hard pressed for money, many automobiles are not licensed until April or July. Ten States Make Change In six of the ten states showing gasoline gallonage increase during the first six months of 1933, postponement was affected in some form or other, the study shows. Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Mexico, ] Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah j and Virginia showed increase in j taxable gasoline gallonage over | 1932. Maryland, which did not delay j the licensing period, suffered a gallonage decline of 3,596,000. Compares Benefits The significance of this move, according to H. Preston Quadland, survey author, is comparable to the trade benefits from the recognition of Russia. This year has been the first in which delayed auto licensing was j begun by a number of states, the | study reveals, and the figures shown i indicate the opportunities for increased trade. The only drawback thus far encountered in general licensing on April 1 or July 1 seems to be in bookkeeping changes necessitated in the tax collection agencies of the states.
