Firat Presented in 1114 FOR OPERA PATRONS Henri Rabaud, the composer Tito Sehi~ Famous Tenor, Back at Ravinia After Absence of Two Seasons Important items of music news crowd close upon each other in the Ravinia opera announcements for the week beginning Sunday afternoon, July ?fJ, and Mr. Eckstein has arranged a senes of treats for his patrons during that period that gives the entire week a festive air. In the first place the week marks the beginning of the second half of the current Ravinia opera season. It will likewise bring the debut of Tito Schipa, wor 1<.1 famous lyric tenor, whose popularity among the opera patrons of the Chi~ago district is unrivalled. Mr. Schtpa comes back. to the Ravinia forces for the first ttme since 1925. He is coming to Ravinia directly from Europe, where for the last several months he has scored one triumph after another in London, Paris, Rome and other music centers where he appeared both in concert and opera. Three operas which have not been heard thus far this season are included among the seven which are scheduled for the week ahead. These are "Thais," which will . be given as a special performance on Monday night, July 30, with Mme. Gall and Mr. Danise in the two most important roles; "Marouf," which will be given for the first time west of New York on Wednesday night, August 1, with :\fme. Gall and Mario Chamlee as its central figures; and "L'Elisir d'Amore,"' which is to be presented on Saturday night, August 4, serving as Mr. Schipa's debut vehicle. Miss Macbeth and Mr. Trcvisan will figure prominently in the cast. Changes of Cast Several important . changes of cast are announced in thm - operas which will be given repeat performances. Edward Johnson is to have the title role of "Andrea Chenier" when that opera is presented on Thursday night, August 2. He has never sung it at Ravinia before, but the role forms an important part of his repertoire. Mme. Rethberg will come to the role of Maddeleine and Mario Basiola will be heard as Gerrard in this same opera. Mr. Basiola will likewise be heard as DeSiriex in "Fedora," a role he has never sung at Ravinia: Edward Johnson will be Canio in "Pagliacci." There has been much interest manifested in "Marouf" ever since Mr. Eckstein made the announcement last spring that it would be included in this season's repertoire. It has been heard but little in this country, having been given its first performance on this side of the Atlantic at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York in December, 1917. The full title of the work is "!.farouf, the Cobbler of Cairo" and its libretto is based on one of the fantastic stories of the "Arabian Nights." Its background is an index of its character for no work of literature is more given to the exotic and 2nd MORTGAGE LOANS WILSHORE BOND & MORTGAGE CO. J.
