Another view of Paris will be fur- nished by the scenery that is being made of "sapho." However, the lo- eale of this work is hr removed from tht cent"!!! of "ateeratt for it is laid in the Lynn M. the center of detail But present activity which is of greatest interest centers around the unpacking of the countless properties which are familiar enough to all ob- serving opera patrons. the refurnish- ing of the settings:and the construc- tion of the new scenic investiture which will be of importance this year. The designs for the backgrounds of "La Vida Breve," "Madame Sans Gene" and "Sapho" were completed sometime ago and the artists are now busily engaged in painting this equip- ment. "Lohentrrin" is also to have new irivetrtiture this season. The stage director, Armando Agnini, is in charge of this work. 1 New Opera Here 1 Few operas offer better opportuni- ' for scenic display than "La Vida §eve" which will be heard at Ra-l ia for the Brat time this year and! which was not introduced into this country until last season. The libretto of this work is in Spanish and Mme. Liereria Bori is to have the principal role. Its locale is Seville, with the! first act in the gypsy quarter of that ancient city and the second act in the home of a young woman of the wealthy class. Artists of all nations) have found inspiration in the Inf-I roundings of the gypsies of Seville,) for they are the most colorful of all the nomads and they are permanent, enough in this Spanish town to have' put their individual stamp upon the! architecture of the section they in- habit. It is easy to see what chances: a scenic artist would have in provid-i ing settings for a scene of this kind. Another class of architecture and fur- nishings are depicted in the second: net, and here that color which is peculiarly Spanish serves to Itlii/itii) an interior and to give it distinction.‘ Another Also i "Madame Sans Gene" is another of; the new operas having a locale which is both picturesque and interesting. The action takes place in Paris dur-l ing the regime of the first' Napoleon; and its various scenes are as varied; as were the chapters in the life of the) Little Corporal. The ftr1st act is laid} in a laundry conducted by Madame. Sans Gene, a woman of brains and; perspicacity who marries an ofetFl; defeats Napoleon in a battle of wits, and sees her husband made a .field) marshal. Another scene is laid in a: famous old French chiteau which! gives a mediaeval flavor to the set- tings. while much of theaction takes place in that historic room which Na- poleon used as an oftiee, council chamber, study and school of strategy. ( Much study has been devoted to thei historical aspects of this room, andi as it will be depicted at Ravinia it willbe historien1ly correct in every . On June M, the Itfte.estlt season of ham Opera and Concerts will be- gin. The months of work which must be done in laying the foundation for the ten weeks season have brought forth splendid results and never in the long add honorable history of this; unique musical institution has Mr.) Eckstein succeeded in bringing to-; (other such an array of world-famous} talent, nor has he outlined such a pre-) tentious repertoire of operatic pro- ductions as he has this year. The an- nouncement made some time ago af the artists engaged and of the operasl in which they as to be heard will1 go down in the annals of American operatic history-even in the operatic] history of the world. _ Second Stage ', Now the second stage of prepara- tory work has been reached and the technical staff, under Mr. Atrnini's di- rection, is engaged in the accomplish- ment of that multitude of things which must be tinh0ted before the time set for the initial performance of the new season. New scenery is beingI built. for several of the operas which have been added to the repertoire this year demand elaborate scenic equip- ment. Some works of the standard repertoire will be presented in new dress this season. while the investi- ture of other productions is being re- furnished. Properties for the novels ties and revivals. as well " for the standard operas also form an impor- tant item. Nor has Ravinia itself been overlooked, The staff of garden- ers is at work effecting those horticul- tural miracles which co to make Ra- vinia one of the show places of the country. and in this, nature herself, is lending every eo-operation. Change In House Some change has been made in the!, opera house, ‘but it will pass unno-l tired by the general public as it will; be hidden entirely from view and will; concern only those who are working behind the scenes. This is the deep-l ening of the stage that the handling! of the settings may be facilitated. Ex-i tra room for the storage of costumes' once they have been taken from the; general storehouse and into the opera house, has been provided by the ex-I tension of the dressing rooms. Bothi of these changes will make for con-l venience and will be appreciated by; the workers who deal with the tech: nicalities of production. é BIGGEST SEASON IN OPEN PAGE EIGHT June 26, of FOR RAVINIA OPERA Saturday, ' NATIONAL GUARD WINS l SHERIDAN TOURNAMENT Barry Redmond of Lake Forest and Alfred McLernon, of Highland Park. two young men who were, arrested a week ago Sunday by pdice of Lake Forest and Highland Park on a tip from Winnetka police, were given a hearing at police headquarters in Highland Park Wednesday {of last week and bound over to the first reg- ular term of the grand jury, in Octo- her. They were indicted upon testi- mony furnished by police of3he above towns, and, it is said, upon their own confessions of petty thefts in various North Shore towns. Bail for Redmond wns furnished and be we: released at once, McLernon was relented Friday after the $1,000 bail required had been provided. . i And like "Manon" every opera to 1be presented at Ravinia this season, l will be given the same care in setting (that has always marked Ravinia pro- l ductions. Next week it will become a Perma- nent fixture inside the store, hanging above the landing on the grand stair- way leading to the second floor. It is e3yiet'in every detail and was painted especially for The Hub by the prom- inent New York artist, J. F. Yewell, the architect. James Gambill Rogers, usaociate engineer, Gavin Hadden.

LOCAL THEATRE ONE AFFECTED BY MERGER "Mimon Lescaut." the Puccini opera which has been chosen for pre- sentation on the first night of the sea- son, boasts one of the most beautiful sets of furniture to be found in the Ravinia collection of period pieces. It is in the Louis XV style beautifully upholstered in green with the Bower designs delicately painted in the man- ner nffeeted by the French decorators of that time. The frames are of gold elaborately carved. The set includes consoles. tables, divans, arm chairs and single chairs. It fltrures largely in the salon which the young Cheva- lier Des Grieux provided for Manon, the wilful little country girl. who knew nothing of luxury but who soon cultivated extravagant tastes once she was in Paris. This furniture is typi, cal of that found in the Parisian salons of the early eighteenth century when period furniture which has: been handed down for generations, was not as rare as it is in these days of an- tique collecting. j tier class forms the nut set-stung1 ind here Sepho. so-eelled become the has served u the model of Willa?- ipg of the Grecim goddess. meets the opus student wtittcctteintt new to grist}: wen-1s 'ttttttt with whole~ ttt ideWarn.' .A beautiful country _ ne slso supplies the backgrounds)! one act of this open, end there one two-scenes located in student living timers around which so may fit.. cker: stories hue heen‘wrltten. .

An ex- amination showed no damage to cyl- inder walls, pistons, piston rings, crank shaft. cam shafe or bearings. "Bearings will outwear hobbit, "oper- ating under similar conditions, many times. and will give economical serv- ice under conditions of poor lubrica- tion where babbitt will not stand up," continued Mr. Williams, "Pistonoy rings will give equal mileage to rings manufactured from other metals and in addition, will highly polish cylinder walls. We all know the secret of a smooth-running internal-combustion engine is polished cylinder walls. Reconditioning Inexpensive "Pistonoy rings will not wear cylin- der walls or piston ring grooves and) make the reconditioning of motors a simple and inexpensive operation." 1 "'the pistons are the Williams insu- lated head type, which permits inde.. pendent expansion and contraction of the piston head without any danger of distorting the body of the piston and makes practicable the flttintt of alloy pistons to .001 of an inch clear- ance in the cylinder.

M. Williams, president of the company which manufactures the products, has been developing pistons, piston rings and bearings for more than ten years. The Essex dar has been used in these development tests since 1919 and has traveled more than 180,000 miles. f The test was first made with soup and water, the motor functioning without a murmur over a long dil- tance; then plain water was substitu- ted and finally after tmother' long stretch without the slightest damage to motor or parts the! crankcase was f1lled with oil.
