WILMETTE LIFE ~he first of the Ravinia , series ot natmnal concerts will be given on Sun~ay afternoon, July 15, and in view of tts nature has been called "An Afternoon of German Music and German Composers." The Chicago Symphony orchestra, under the direction of Eric DeLamarter, will play a special program on this occa§jon, featuring many of the most celebrated German composers including, of course the im~ortal Richard Wagner. Jac'ques Gordon, violinist, will be the soloist. The occasion will have a festive air and Dr. H. A. Kroll, Ge.rman Vice-consul General, will .be present and will speak. The second of these national concerts has been scheduled for Sunday afternoon, July 22, and will take the form of "An Afternoon of French Music and French Composers."

This is the revival of Xavier Leroux's splendid dramatic opera "Le Chemineau" which long held ~n important place in the Ravinia repertoir~ but which has not been given since 1924. This work is extremely popular with American opera patrons in view of the fact that as spoken drama under the title of "The Harvester" it served as one ot Otis Skinner's most effective vehicles. Another item of special intt:rest during the pending week is the season's first presentation of "Fra Diavolo," a light work which cl~sses as opera comique and which is filled with merry tunes which are introduced one after another as its romantic story (which ends happily) is told. The several cast changes which are to be effected during the week all tend to add spice to the repertoire. Miss Easton is to be heard as Elsa in "Lohengrin" and Miss Bourskaya will appear as Ortrud in this same Wagnerian work. Queena Mario, who has won special attention at Ravinia this year, is to have the part of J uli~t in Gounod's "Romeo and Juliet." Mr. Tokatyan will sing the role of Leopold in "La ] uive." Miss Claussen will be Amneris in "Aida" and Mr. Ananian will be the King.
