PRICE FIVE RAVINIA PARK WILL BE OPEN TOMORROW EVE A New Feature of the Park Will Be Dancing Pavil- ion ; Modern Dances To Be Given. NOTED ARTISTS SIGNED Chicago Symphony Orches- tra and Grand Opera Singers Attractions. The season at Ravinia park will bo formally opened tomorrow evening with the first of the summer's concerts by tie Chicago Sym- phony orchestra, under the per- sons! direction of Frederick Stock. The Symphony orchestra's complete membership has been engaged for.the entire ten weeks' season at Ravinia. In addition there will be eight weeks of opera by distinguished performers, and during the first two weeks of the season Joan Sawyer will interpret modern dances st the evening concerts. In many ways the plans for Ravinia promise more for the music lovers of Evanston end the north shore than ever before. Noted Artiste to Appear. The engagement of the Symphony orchestra for the entire season at Ra- vinia enables Mr. Stock to keep his or- ganization intact through the year and affords the public an opportunity to hear not only the orchestra but such artists as Bruno Stolndol, Harry Wels- bach, Alexander Zukovsky, and the wood-wind and brass soloists of the orchestra even more frequently than. It may during Che winter season at Orchestra hall. As has been the cus- tom, the Prlday night concerts by the orchestra will be devoted to Wagner, and the other concerts to leas exacting music. V Grand Opera Singers. The program of the orchestra will be augmented, beginning July II, by singers from several grand Opera com* panics such as, Morgan Kingston, the tenor, who came so quickly into his American reputation with hie appear- ance in New York a year ago last win- ter, and who will sing such rolee as Alfred in "Traviata," Rhadames in "Aids," and Rudolpho in "La Bo- heme." Louie Kreidler, a former bari- tone of the Metropolitan opera in Mew York, who is so well remembered of itavlnia audiences, Is under contract for the season. Bettina Freeman, a soprano, who has sung much in Eng- llsb, particularly as Elizabeth In "Tannhauser," as Santuzza in "Gavel- leria Rusticanna," and In the title part of "Madame Butterfly," is another newcomer, so far as Ravinia Is con- cerned. Beatrice La Palme, French-Canadian soprano who so many important rolee with the Cen- tury Opera company, ie an old favor- ite at Ravinia, as are Florence Mul ford, Alfred Kaufmann, Louie D'Att- gelo, Walter Wbeatley, Phil Fein and William Schuster. The grand opera performances will be directed by Josef Pasternack and Mr. Carlo Nicosia, who conducted at Ravinia park last season. The Fregrnm.

Heretofore there hae been no au- tomobile route east of the North- western railroad between Evanston and the towna north. Now It is possible to go on good reads all the way from Evaneton to Wilmette and Kenilworth without crossing the railroad tracks. The adjoining map ahowe how to do this and it is sug- gested that this may be cut out and retained for future reference. Dewey avenue from Central street north la paved with concrete and was opened to traffic Wednesday. This new method of approach wilt Undoubtedly attract many people who will prefer to enter or leave Evanston this way, rather than to drive for eeveral'mttoe so cloee to the railroad tracks. The north shore suburbs are look lng forward to the day when Sheridan their neighborhood towna. Much prog- ress has been made In this direction, notably the determination of the vil- lage of Winnetka to Improve Sheridan road with a concrete pavement from tho southern limits of Winnetka to North avenue. This will be done ae soon as conditions'will permit and within a year from now this road should be open to traffic. Highland Park also has two miles of concrete on the Sheridan road, which has elicited much favorable comment from the many people who have come hero to see it. Kenilworth, Wilmette and Ev- anston are all actively engaged in a campaign for the Improvement of Sheridan road, but until thle le ac- complished by all of the suburbs work- ing In unison the only route east of the railroad le made possible by the opening of Dewey avenue ______ From 10,000 to 15,000 consumptives go west in search of health every year.

The automobile industry is hurting business throughout the country, ac- cording to the drummers. Joseph F.
