WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 13 1925 RAVINIA STARS ON WAY 'HOME Take Up Residence on North Shore for Season of Opera and Concerts RAISA NEW ARRIVAL Schipa Family Takes Resi- dence in Glencoe With Ravinia opera and concerts in- augurating a new season within two weeks, the north shore is now the Mecca of the many world famous art- ists who have been engaged by Louis Eckstein for what gives promise of be- ing the most brilliant season ever en- joyed at this north shore shrine of music drama. It is an established fact that an artist who has once appeared at Ravinia has so thoroughly enjoyed life as it is lived on the north shore, that he finds his summer work unus- ually pleasurable. Many of the artists who sang at Ravinia last year and who will return this, have engaged houses convenient to Ravinia and are bring- ing their families with them. Others who are known as the "old-timers" of Ravinia, long ago made arrangements for north shore homes. Raisa Joins Colony Mme. Lucrezia Bori, who spent only a part of last season at Ravinia, but who is returning for the entire season this year, is on board ship bound for New York. She has been in Paris where she has had many new costumes made for her Ravinia appearances. Mme. Rosa Raisa, new to the Ravinia list, is widely known not only as a great artist, but as a home-loving wom- an. She is now resting at her villa near Verona, Italy, having finished an opera season in Milan, and she will soon sail for America to occupy a home on the north shore. Mme. Marie Sundelius, who during the Evanston May Festival renewed acquaintance with north shore friends, is another Ravinia soprano who is soon to return and take up her home in this community. Miss Mar- gery Maxwell will live in Evanston. Martinellis On Way An interesting addition to the north shore artists' colony will be Mrs. Gio- vanni Martinelli, wife of the famous tenor. Mrs. Martinelli is expected with- in the next few days and will have her summer home ready by the time her husband, who is about to sail from Italy, arrives. She will bring the Mar- tinelli children with her. Mrs. Mar- tinelli was not with Mr. Martinelli when he sang at Ravinia last season, but his reports of north shore life were so glowing that she concluded to spend the summer here instead of going to Europe. Tito Schipa counts himself as an old resident of the north shore, having lived at Giencoe -two years ago when he sang at Ravinia. Mr. and Mrs. Schipa will arrive Monday and will im- mediately move into their new home. Their little daughter, Elena, is now old enough to appreciate plenty of playground and with this in mind, Mr. Schipa took care to provide himself with a place having plenty of lawn and garden. Mario Chamlee will soon leave his permanent home near Wil- ton, Conn., for a summer residence near Ravinia, and Armand Tokatyan, the young tenor who spent his honey- moon on the north shore last summer, has already arrived. Giuseppe Danise and family is driving through {rom New York. Leon Rothier, Mario Basiola, Paolo Ananian and Louis D'Angelo are also coming from New York and Mr. and Mrs. Virgilio Laz- zari have sailed from Italy. They will live at Highland Park, which was their home last summer. Gennaro Papi is somewhere in mid- ocean and Louis Hasselmans, Wilfrid Pelletier and Giacomo Spadoni are ex- pected within the next few days. Eric De La Marter is already busy pre- paring concert programs and Armando Agnini has established his family in a home at Highland Park. Winnstka Youth Signs Up for Camp Roosevelt George B. Massey, Jr., 705 Sheridan road, Winnetka, has sent in his appli- cation for attendance at Camp Roose- velt, the educational training encamp- ment operated by the Chicago Board of Education, which this summer will be located on the Fort Sheridan mili- tary reservation. Acceptance was re- cently received from Major F. L. Beals, in command of the camp. George will enter the R. O. T. C. division of the camp, which is for boys from 14 years and upward who desire an intensive military and recreational program. "We have the finest faciiities at our command that we have ever had in our seven years of operation," said Major Beals today. "No better beach can be found than the one at Fort Sheridan and boys will have opportunity to learn how to swim, as well as to learn every other athletic sport, under the very best of conditions. We are all set for the opening of Camp Roosevelt's ban- ner season, and look forward eagerly to June 29, when the fun will begin." Moody Institute Man to Preach at Local Church H. Olney of the Moody Bible insti- tute will speak at the First Scandina- vian Evangelical church, 886 Elm street, Sunday evening, June 14, at the o'clock services. Sunday school will convene as usual at 10:30 o'clock and the Young People's society meets at 5 o'clock. The Midweek service is held on Wednesday night.

The exercises will begin at 8 o'clock and will be held in the Jane Kuppenheimer Memorial hall. About 116 pupils will be given their diplomas at this time. A certain graduation ritual has be- come traditional at Skokie school. It consists of a pageant, most of the char- acters of which are played by the chil- dren who are graduating. It is beauti- ful and impressive, and typifies the pupil's entry into the world outside the school. Admission to the graduating exercises will be by ticket only, it was announced. The final meeting of the members of the class of 1925 will be Saturday evening, June 20, when they assemble in the gymnasium of the school for their class party. This will begin at 7:30 o'clock and is the most important social affair of the school year. Turn to the Want Ads QUALITY AUTOMOBILE PAINTING and a guaranteed job WINNETKA AUTO PAINTING CO. E.

The artists will be arriving in a few days, rehearsals will begin, and in about two weeks the whole glorious open air opera will be in full swing.

For the second night, which tradi- tion says must be on an equal footing with the opening night, there has been an overwhelming request for "Martha", with Tito Schipa in his matchless role of Lionel. With him will be Florence Macbeth, Ina Bourskaya, Virgilio Lazzari and Paolo Ananian. A woman and an electric lamp smile at each other.
