Only to those of us who have grown up at its doors, who joyfully welcomed each of the programs especially arranged for Thursday afternoons by the Chiago Symphony orchestra under the direction of Frederick Stock, and the New York Symphony orchestra, conducted by \\' alter Damrosch, can fuHy appreciate the value and influence of those hours of delightful music given to us at a time when our music tastes and habits were being moulded. And even today, the hearing of one of tho se selections played for us then , brings in retrospect the same Ravinia Park, but with a large audience of brightly be-ribboned and be- s ashed little girls, listening eagerly to orche stra concerts, with only occasional solo divertisements, and attentive littl e hoys with Eton cullars, all rushing · to see the "movies" during the intermission. \Ve t·c e again the gracious smile oi Walter Damrosc h as ~o me venturesome little youngster t oddled down to the very front to stand in open-mouth f'd amazement watchit)g the musicians, onlv to en· out in fear when he .realized he ·had strayed far from an anxious parent. Todav. with its even more elaboratelv feat~tred programs, . its much more comprrhensiv~ carnivals, Ravinia is st ill playing an important part in the lives of the manv children of the north .sho re. The Thursdav afternoon programs are still offered- to children under 12 Y~"ars of age without admis~io n charge. This ~cason.
